Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine, Punta Cana

The property was nice. Pools are good, Rooms are nice. Good gym The issue we had was with the food - especially with the lack of food options during the day. The only coffee shop on the resort was off limited to us as we were at the Aquamarine and the coffee shop was only for those at the Ambar. So, machine coffee it is. The meals at the restaurants are OK, not great. Went to watch a World Cup football game at the sports bar, during the day. The place was empty except for the 4 booths at [... read more] the very back that were full. This is because no one was allowed to site the big screen without reservations. That entire area was empty! Also, beer was $5 at the Sports Bar. The staff was polite but not friendly. I will not be returning to this resort.

Amazing Trip

We loved the resort grounds, the food, the people. Room was very dated but clean. The AC worked and toilet flushed. Entertainment was good but often ended early in the evening. Liked that it wasn’t crazy far from airport too.

Adequate resort experience

Pretty grounds, talented bartenders. Poor communication about shuttles to and from the airport Food was amazing with new items everyday. Very nice house red and white. Bring singles to tip wworkers

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine

This is a nice hotel. The room was great, not dated. Food was good even at the buffet restaurant. Beach was okay, except for the sea weeds. There was no problem getting a beach chair at the beach or the pool. The entertainment team was nice and the games were fun. The night shows were nice too.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine

The hotel was clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was kind (especially Santa the waitress in the main lobby bar/entertainment area who always took care of us). The beach however had a lot of seaweed, which the staff did their best to clean each day. The bathrooms in the hotel rooms were also in pretty bad shape and need renovations.

Most beautiful grounds

The hotel is well laid out grounds are well kept well lit at night. The rooms can do with a little touch up. Impressive buffet. And of course the Bavaro beach is wonderful. Would like to have seen better quality drinks served if the hotel is claiming to be a 5 star and not have your guest pay for them.

Sun Sun Sun

We enjoyed 10 days of zero rain during the day. From booking with Cindy, to the end the trip was flawless starting with the WestJet flight. We have been to four other GBP resorts and this one was fantastic. Beautiful Resort, grounds, rooms, and service. Great value.

Beautiful resort!

The whole resort is so nice, so many places to walk. Food is fantastic, service was great as well. The only thing is if you want to go to the beach it’s a long walk or you wait for the trolley, which you might wait 10 to 15 minutes to get one.

Great resort

Bahia Principe Aquamarine is an overall great resort. Staff are friendly and very accommodating. Lots of great dining options. Amazing beach and pool. A bit of walking within resort, which we enjoy and shuttle services readily available. Biggest downside is that the rooms are outdated and in need of a refresh and renovation. Overall clean, but our room had lampshades broken off fixtures, electric outlets pulled out of wall, missing shower tiles. We don’t spend much time in room, but a refresh at [... read more] this resort is necessary. Overall, satisfied and would recommend the Aquamarine to others!

Great resort staff so

Beautiful looking resort but employees were not the friendliest. It took over 2 hours to check in 15 people. Employees at buffet were very not the friendliest and service at the tables was slow at times

Great resort - first solo trip

The resort is huge since we also have access to the other connecting resorts. Sports bar at Ambar, self serve soft ice cream at Punta Cana and the beautiful village kind of in the middle of it all. I got lots of steps in during my stay! Staff are so friendly and very patient to let me practice my Spanish with them. Food was delicious at the buffet, the three A la cartes I had as well as the delicious hamburgers at the pool side grill. There are three pools with the middle one as the busy li [... read more]vely one. Entertainment at the pool was fantastic throughout the day. Only saw the one night show, Fire show, which was just wow! The beach is a little walk to get to but I didn’t mind. I prefer the pool anyway. The room was huge with a spacious bathroom. It was clean, no bugs. I chose upper level and was in building 83. Do choose poolside view. Only bad thing I have to say is that the bed is really really hard so I didn’t sleep well. I did ask for a pillow top which was so very thin but it helped a wee bit. I would still go back….I caught up on sleep this weekend!

We really this resort.

The food is amazing, staff really helpful and really nice, nice room, cleaning staff did a good job, but where we were a bit noisy because of the loading dock of another resort. There was not much place at the beach, on top of having the Ambar guests taking our places at the beach…

Nice vacation!

This was approximately our 8th visit to Bahia Principe in Punta Cana. The last 5 times, exclusively to the Aquamarine section. The staff are friendly, courteous, approachable and available. Guest Services in Lobby 2 were very helpful. The rooms are beginning to look a little tired, but were clean and always ready by the time we returned from the beach. The food was good and plentiful. Restaurants we really enjoyed were the Limbo and Thali. Breakfast buffet has a lot to offer with friendly, atte [... read more]ntive service. The lunch offered at the beach in the Los Olas building is a let down. Unfortunately, it allows everyone from the entire resort into this space and it is clearly not big enough or staffed well enough to handle the number of people for lunch. Tables were left dirty for long periods of time with no help in sight. I realize the option for us was to walk back to the Aquamarine buffet, but the entire reason for this destination is the beach....where we like to stay the entire day. Years ago, we were allowed to go to the Ambar beach restaurant, but no more. The beach itself is beautiful and well maintained. The section for Aquamarine guests is too small. Towels on loungers at 6 or 7 in the morning are the norm. We often saw too many of these "reserved" seats with nobody at them til late afternoon or only there for an hour or so. Obviously we like this place, but only wish the beach had it's own "adult only" restaurant and more space. Take some from Ambar...their side of the beach is underused.

Amazing resort

Excellent vacation

Amazing buffet with a huge variety of items. Truly appreciated the fresh fish and seafood as well as the pasta bar. Beach was beautiful but seating was limited and restricted to a small area of beach. Staff wasn’t as friendly as other resorts but they were professional.

Beautiful Resort! Awesome food

The Resort was beautiful but we found it a tad too big. The carts were easy to get to go to the beach. It was windy all week, so hard to say whether or not it was a good swimming beach as it was very rough all week. The food was great. The reservation system was terrible. The front hotel lobby check in staff were not very friendly or helpful. I like to be closer to the beach so the other resorts closer to the beach would be nice, but the Grand was very busy. So I've been here done it, prob [... read more]ably wont do it again.

Great resort!

Check-in: fast, easy. We had a request for particular building due to a mobility issue and Jedulka was terrific in helping to accommodate. Rooms: excellent. Large, clean and very good bathrooms. Dining: ala carts were excellent although booking was a little difficult. But food was great. Buffets were very good too. Beaches: excellent. Lots of palapas...great sand, no need for water shoes. Some seaweed but beaches were racked daily. Customer service: Exceptional! Had a leak over our  [... read more]toilet, customer service came same day, fixed and followed to confirm there were no issues. Got locked out of mini safe, customer service showed up within 15 minutes. One day our room wasn't made up, we called later in the day and they showed up within 20 minutes. Pools: always chairs available. Music was a little repetitive but we were at the beach most of the time. Unfortunately pools were closed at 6pm daily for cleaning, which seemed a little early but the pols were definitely clean and in great shape. Value: terrific value for price. We'll definitely be back!!

Beautiful Adults-only Resort!

Aquamarine was a lovely adults-only resort within Bahia Principe Grand. The pool was clean and alive with just the right amount of activity and and Bavaro Beach was stunning and only a 10 minute walk or quick ride on their resort transport. Having 7 à la cartes included was amazing and there were so many options to choose from. None of the restaurants disappointed and had good service and were beautifully decorated. The resort was clean and well maintained, our room was great. We will definitely [... read more] be back.

Amazing resort

I just returned from a week at this resort and was enjoying my time so much, I didn't want to leave. The staff are awesome, from the front lobby, motor lobby, cleaning staff, buffet staff, bar tenders and entertainment staff. Everyone was very helpful and ready to make our stay the best it could be. I can't wait to book another week. I have recommended this resort to a few people since I returned.
