Employees at Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach were battling uncertainty yesterday as they awaited word of when the hotel property would reopen.<\/p>\n
The hotel has been closed since last week when Hurricane Irene passed across the island.<\/p>\n
Employees said they heard that damages were sustained during the storm, but when they attempted to get information as to when they can return to work, information was not forthcoming.<\/p>\n
The employee said she visited the hotel on Friday only to be turned away with no information, which puts her in a difficult position.<\/p>\n
The employee said she and others called the hotel again yesterday several times, but were given no explanations. Instead, she added they were told to call back today.<\/p>\n
The employee said hotel staff need to be informed of the situation so they can know how to move forward.<\/p>\n
The Freeport News spoke to Lydia Saunders, a local tour operator who said she had received an e-mail from the company informing her of the hotel’s short-term closure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
