BACKGROUND: We have traveled to various Caribbean destinations: Mexico, Mayan Riviera, Cuba, Jamaica and the Dominican, always going to 4-5 star resorts, booking all inclusive, and relying on Trip Advisor before we book. Our primary concerns when doing research on a location are as follows: (1) Trip Advisor reports and ratings (2) the beach (3) pools and amenities (4) brochure... more

I already wrote in the header. Will be very brief. Disgusting food, roaches in the room, NOBODY speak English except 1 and a half person in the front lobby. Very huge and crowded. more

Went on a honeymoon and invited everyone to come as well (though we were in a different section of the resort). I'll do the review by category: Accommodations - simple but bright, airy and clean. Bed was comfortable but very firm, pillows were plentiful. Balcony was a nice size and the breeze drifted over the water and flowed nicely into... more

We were there for 2 weeks for our son's wedding. It was absolutley beautiful. Our rooms, food, services, the wedding planner, the grounds, the beach, the people even the guide from the Bavaro Runner tour were all excellent. We would go back there in a minute. more

We got a great deal on this resort through Westjet Vacations so I would have to say overall we had a great time for the money we paid. The grounds are well kept. The beach is beautiful and the pools are clean. There were enough chairs by the pool and on the beach. Also lots of shaded areas. The food... more

This is the worst hotel I have ever been to, very poor service, they always run out of towels, food is very bad, roaches, etc… Since the hotel is big they have buses which create pollution and it stinks all over the hotel territory. We came there with a group of 10 people and everyone hated the place. We tried... more

We stayed at the Bahia Principe Punta Cana from Nov 15-22 and overall it was a great vacation. We updated do the Golden Club which I would NOT recommend because you paid $120 extra per person and really the one differentiator was getting the free 15 mins a day of internet use, if u dont value that then dont go... more

We were at the Gran Bahia Nov 17 to 21 and I must say it was a bit like Fawlty Towers...the only thing that was missing was Basil. Asking for a wake up call was a joke, since we either got one at 7:15am regardless of the time we asked for or none at all. The maid service was okay,... more

Stayed for one week Nov.10 to 17. THE RESORT The resort was nice with very well manicured grounds. We have stayed at the Bahia Principe in Mexico which we loved and that influenced our decision to book this one. Our room was acceptable, although it may have been a bit moldy. The bed was hard and the pillows are wafer... more
