Wonderful resort

This resort was exceptionally beautiful. Grounds well kept. Rooms, lobbies, restaurants, pools, beach where very clean and well maintained. Food was great, staff where attentive and personable. The beach was beautiful, water was very nice. The quiet pool was our favorite, next to the beach. No issues with this resort at all. Definitely plan to go back.

Beautiful, immaculate resort

We absolutely loved our trip, the grounds were stunning, the service was wonderful, extremely clean. The pools were perfect, the food was great, something for everyone. Highly recommend this resort!!!

This resort is "Excellente"!!

We just got back from spending 1 week at this resort and our staying went too quick. Our experience was exceptional. Let me start by saying our room was clean and housekeeping did a great job keeping it that way. The gardens are immaculate and beautiful. The lobby was always clean with many areas to sit and have a drink or coffee with our friends. The food was ample, fresh and well presented at the buffets and the service was very friendly. Roberto who made our omelettes was always swift wi [... read more]th a smile and always aimed to please. Hector was also very friendly and quick to pour us our morning coffee. We tried all 6 a la carte restaurants and the food was amazing. They offer many choices and again the food was fresh and plentiful. The animation team, Beba, Jocelyn, Ana Celia, Cindy, Chocolat and Dario, worked tirelessly all day to ensure the guests were entertained and having a good time. Santo and Celeste at the swim up bar were always friendly and aimed to please everyone. Edy, our butler, made our stay special by helping us celebrate our anniversary with a bottle of champagne, lavender scent essence ready to heat, rose petals sprinkled in our room with a nice hot bath ready for us. We came with another couple who were celebrating their anniversary as well who got the same treatment. If there is anything to complain about it's the lack of english t.v. stations however with the free wifi and our tablet, we were able to stream movie and tv shows. This resort is a gem. We will definitely be coming back.

Great resort!

My husband and I spent the week of April 17-24 2018 at this resort. Right from the moment we checked in I really liked the way the front desk treated us. Check in was quick and efficient, the rooms were spacious and very clean. The food at this resort was amazing, and plentiful. The people were very pleasant and helpful if we wanted or needed anything. The lobby was very clean and bright. The pool areas were very clean and lots of lounge chairs. The only thing that was a bit of a draw back  [... read more]was the beach, it was very clean and lots of palapas but the water was not as clear as I would have liked it. I would definitely return to this resort and recommend it to anyone who would like a luxury resort to go to.

Great Vacation

One of the most beautiful resorts we have ever visited. Everything was perfect. We requested and received the building and the ground floor room we asked for. Our room, restaurants and bars were all very impressive. Would go back to this resort tomorrow, without question.

Immaculately clean

This resort was beautiful and immaculate! Well staffed with great people. I loved the ease of using their app and they were prompt in all they delivered with their service. Free WiFi worked great throughout most of the resort. Pools were well kept. Plenty of Lounge chairs. Don Pablo a la carte was absolutely wonderful. Drinks were not the best as they were made inconsistently without proper measuring and overly sweet syrups are just not my taste. If you are going to enjoy the beach and a [... read more] swim in the ocean, this place is not for you. The water is murky due to a river close by that flows into the ocean. Although there were no people selling things on the beach, there were sand fleas! Overall it was an enjoyable stay with comfy beds, soft sheets, nice pillows and plenty of options. We even had essential oils to choose for our room daily, that were brought by our butler upon request. Nice quiet relaxing resort.

Great value for this Resort

The grounds were beautiful. The rooms were extremely nice and the maids did a great job cleaning them. Loved the butler service with the essential oils . The Don Pablo Restaurant was amazing. Buffets were good. Good selection of food . My only complaint were the drinks inconsistent never tasted the same. They were always running out of something mojitos..dirty monkeys etc. Celeste at the lively pool made pretty good drinks and was always smiling . The animation team although very fr [... read more]iendly did not really have much for entertainment. I found the resort to be boring at times.

Excelente! Loved the Bahia Principe Bouganville

We stayed at the Bahia Principe Bouganville from April 14 to 21, 2018. We were thoroughly impressed with this resort. We stayed at a Barcelo resort last winter in Punta Cana and had somewhat of a bad experience. We will be looking to vacation at a Bahia Principe resort from now on! The service was overall excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful. Housekeeping services did an excellent job. The animation team works hard to engage the guests and create a fun atmosphere all around. There is n [... read more]o shortage of activities by the pool and entertainment. There are also two other more quiet pools if you prefer quiet time. Every night there is a different show i.e. grammy music show, michael jackson, acrobatics, fire show, beach party etc. That we thought were very well done as well as live music in the lobby and dancing. The food is excellent; there is something for everyone at the buffet. The Don Pablo restaurant is excellent. The grounds are stunningly beautiful and imacculatley kept. There is a golf course on the ocean, tennis courts and cruiser style bicycles that you can take out for a bike ride within the Bahia gated community which is quite large. It's hard to find a negative thing to say really but my only disclaimer would be that if you are more keen on spending your time at the beach jumping in the waves in the ocean then this resort likely isn't for you. That being said, the beach is still beautiful and you can walk quite a ways up and down either side. The Punta Cana beach is much nicer and larger but the positive thing about the beach at Bougainville is that the water is calm which is nice for children and as guests at the Bahia, you have use of kayaks that you can take out in the bay. Also there is nobody coming around to sell you stuff incessantly which makes the beach a very relaxing spot to be. There are tons of palm trees and palapas and places to sit in sun or shade. The entertainment ends at 11:00 p.m. at which time you can go to the disco but the dj plays mostly salsa & Bachata style dominican music which I do enjoy but not everyone does. One suggestion I do have would be to have a theme night or even an hour one night from 11-12 midnight in the disco to play different kinds of music such as American top 40 or hip hop or something like that which might get more people going to the disco. I noticed that a lot of people go to the disco but don't stay long. We can't wait to go to another Bahia Principe resort!

Breath taking resort

This resort was absolutely gorgeous!!! Everything about it was amazing. From the meticulously kept grounds to the lovely rooms, to the crystal clear pools to the scrumptious food it was a perfect vacation. The people were so friendly and very helpful. The only thing I can complain about is the trip was not long enough. When you think about it you spend 2 days travelling and only 5 days enjoying your vacation. next time I will go for 10 days.

Our best vacation yet!

We fell in love with this resort immediately. We enjoyed the service, speed & ease of check in. Our stunning room was a perfect size and well laid out. The resort is the perfect size. A great variety of restaurants and spaces to relax and enjoy. Absolutely impeccable grounds. This resort's claim to fame however is absolutely their staff. Luis, Carlos, Cesar, Emily especially went out of their way to make us feel like family.

Hidden Gem

Several of us went to GB Bougainville and had a wonderful stay. The resort was spotless, lots of chairs in all areas and a great beach. The water is not the clear “see to the bottom “as other areas in the Dominican but staff were raking and removing any stones or seaweed that washed up overnight. Staff kept the beach clean and came around taking drink orders throughout the day. The two pools are large and there is a smaller whirlpool pool in a quiet area also. One pool has the activities [... read more] and the other one is the quiet pool but both have a swim up bar. The 4 specialty restaurants we went to were amazing. Our rooms were very large and bathrooms were beautiful. Never an issue with hot water. Bar fridge was always replenished and the beds turned down while we were out to dinner with chocolates on your pillow. Just don’t go out on the balcony and close the door as there isn’t a door handle to reopen it. Three off our group got locked out in the balcony which was upsetting. The grounds were stunning. There were a number of little shops to buy souvenirs and a small casino with 10 or so machines. The shows at night were your usual resort type. The main lobby had music and dancing each night with staff dancing with the guests. All the staff were very friendly. We all enjoyed the resort and all the little extras they did for you. The tray with ice tea and cup of peanuts and the fruit skewers offered each day at the pools made you feel a little pampered. We all felt we would like to go back.

Excellent Resort !!

We have travelled extensively in the Caribbean + this resort has to be among the Best. From our initial greeting in the Main Lobby, to our check out,everything was top-notch. Food was fantastic..never needed to go to a la carte restaurants as buffet was terrific. Cleanliness from hotel rooms to gardens,to pool,beach areas A+. Staff very courteous,tried their best to speak English(if they didn’t speak it). Went out of their way,to please!! All we can say is, Fabulous + We’d go back in a He [... read more]art Beat !!! ❤️ Just returned home on April 3,2018.

Pleasantly surprised!!

Went to this resort because we were meeting others there. Heard the beach wasn’t as nice as Punta Cana so a little concerned. No reason to be! The resort was clean, food was good and service was great. While the beach wasn’t the turquoise waves, it was in a quiet cove where we hung out in the water all day. Being Canadian, we don’t worry too much about the color. It was more like a lake - very peaceful and warm.

Beautiful resort

Grounds are beautiful. Rooms are very spacious and up to date. Food was great especially in the Asian restaurant. There are lots of loungers around the pools and beach. Only problem we found was service. It was very slow in the lobby bar and nonexistent at the pool. If you wanted a drink you had to get it yourself

Amazing, fun, clean resort!

The hotel was beautiful-the rooms were so clean-the grounds were absolutely beautiful! The entertainment was so much fun...BEBA was a blast and I so enjoyed her! Our butler Edy was wonderful! The wait staff were all so friendly and so HAPPY! I loved that .The food was so good...even the buffets were more like a la carts. The only complaint would be that they need to get better organized when you arrive. We didn't know where we were going or what to do so that was a bit confusing. But really [... read more] it was truly a trip of a life time as we went with 8 girls and so many good memories!

Amazing Resort

One week of bliss is an understatement. The resort was beautiful, the grounds were kept impeccable by the gardeners. Edy our butler spoiled us rotten. The food was amazing. The staff was tentative and friendly that became extended family by the end of the week. Beba, Cappuccino, Cholate and Julianna were just a few staff memebers that went out of their way to make our stay memorable. I would definitely recommend this resort as a perfect getaway.

Another awesome stay at Bahia Principe Bouganville

This was our second stay at Bouganville. This time as a group of 10. We were well taken care of by all of the staff at all times. The resort is very clean and quiet. The animation team made time at the pool fun, and there was a quiet pool if that's what you are looking for. All the restaurants were very good. Bars were good and well run. The entertainment was good in the lobby and once again the animation team made sure it was fun. We have many great photos and memories of fun we had with our fr [... read more]iends and the animation team. Rooms were clean and roomy. The hallways were always quiet and the maids were quiet in the morning which we also appreciated. The butler service was very good also. A nice quiet, yet fun relaxing stay in an Adult only environment. Highly recommend this resort. Trip Central was great to deal with and made sure all of our needs were taken care of also

Excellent choice

Very good price to quality ratio. The resort was quiet, well kept and the food selection adequate. No need to get up at 5am to find a chair and a good spot. However, many hotel guests were reserving prime spots for the whole day , yet only using it very sporadically. This is very frustrating. There is plenty of safe roads around the site to do some decent running. The bicycles should be replaced, they are very old. lddj

Very Nice Resort

The Luxury Bahia Principe Bougainville in La Romana is a very nice hotel. Everything is is perfect reach. From the quiet pool to the beach to the activities pool to the main lobby. Even walking over to the sister resort for the nightly shows and other restaurants is very painless. I would recommend this resort to others for sure. Keeping in mind you are not getting the clear blue ocean with this resort. It’s more like going to a local beach because of the Chevron river that runs near by and se [... read more]eps in to the ocean. The water is still swimable just not clear. The food was great. The restaurants say they are a la carte but you still do your appetizer and dessert as a buffet. But overall everything is lovely.

Very Beautiful!

My wife and I just returned from a week at this resort on April 1st 2018. We have stayed at the Bahia Prinicipe La Romana next door twice in the past. The Bouganville Luxury resort is overall more beautiful than the .La Romana side, but what really stuck out was the quality and the variety of the food at the buffet. I had come to the conclusion that the food in these resorts was merely passable. You could always find something to eat, but nothing to rave about. Well, was I wrong. The food at the [... read more] buffets on the luxury side is much better. The rooms were nicer and larger with better amenities in them. Loungers on the beach and at the pools were more comfortable and being able to get international brands of alcohol was a nice bonus.vacationers reserving prime spots by the pool or on the beach at 6am with towels is still an issue, but it seems that this is a problem at all these resorts even though signs are posted that it is prohibited. Night life on the luxury side was disappointing so we went over to the lobby bar on the La Romana side for that. All in all a wonderful time at this resort.
