Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Wonderful hidden gem

This resort was pretty much perfect in all regards, and I have stayed at many others. The hotel is small with 149 rooms so it feels intimate. You get to know the staff who are very happy and seem to be enjoying their jobs whether it be Samuel serving with a smile in the buffet or Savielle dancing up a storm in the evening entertainment or Ramone bartending at the pool bar. You feel like a valued person here not just another guest to deal with. We even made friends with other guests whom we saw o [... read more]ften due to the intimate nature of a small resort. The food is outstanding from the buffets to the a la cartes. A variety of healthy options in the buffet offered lots of choice, and the service was impeccable. The beach is small but offers plenty of room to guests who want to enjoy the warm and relatively calm ocean without thousands of guests from other resorts walking in front of you obstructing the beautiful view. The entertainment is not what the huge resorts offer but we preferred the dancing and music over Hollywood style productions. The work put into the evening entertainment is obvious. The staff work hard to please. Nearby Samana is worth spending a day waundering (but not when a cruise ship is in the port) as is the beach at Bahia Levantado which we got a free boat ride to since our resort was a sister resort right across the ocean from the island it is on. Beautiful beaches there. All in all this was an outstanding week at Luxury Bahia and I can't wait to go again soon which is something I've never said about previous resorts. Definitely a resort to relax and rejuvenate in its calmness. A hidden gem!.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Very nice resort

Very clean and well maintained. Great food, nice pools and beach. It's a big Resort, but there are lots of buggies to take you from Buffet and Lobby to the beach and your room. One word of caution the tiles around the pool areas can be very slippery when wet...especially for children who like to run!

Cayo Levantado Resort: Beautiful resort, great time

The grounds are spectacular, rooms are beautiful and spacious , beach is not the best as the waters were not calm, but there is a public beach we went to, and it was big and lovely, food was delicious drinks were tasty service is a bit slow, but we were not in a rush It is a quiet and relaxing resort, just what i needed.. Overall i would highly recommend this resort to my friends and family

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Still a good reort

I have stayed at the COBA numerous times and over the years my honest review remains pretty much consistent. We stayed at the COBA from November 22-29, arrived with Air Canada. When you travel with that airline you have a special check in location. The reception staff were very polite and efficient. We were offered a beverage while we completed the check-in paperwork. I found that our check in process was fast. The resort grounds are well-manicured as the groundskeepers worked tirelessly to [... read more] maintain that affect. The COBA itself is one of four complexes and you can walk the complex. There are trolleys to take you to the other complexes such as Tulum, Akumal, Sian Ka, which make up the Grand Bahia Principe. The rooms are typical for a resort. In the room there was a flat screen TV as well as a coffee maker, an iron & ironing board and a fridge that was stocked every day, with 2 beers, 2 large bottles of water, and various soft drinks. The daily maid service was good. The COBA has completed a few upgrades. Where previously they would set up food tables daily in front of the main pool bar, they now installed a permanent food station. In the Pisces pool restaurant they now have a better variety of foods and added a pasta station where the cook makes your pasta dish on demand. They installed a permanent bar and stage in the outdoor space to listen to live music at night and also expanded the seating capacity. The main buffet restaurant is very typical of all-inclusive resorts. The COBA does a decent job appealing to an eclectic clientele with various tastes, even the pickiest eater should be able to find something to eat. If you can’t find anything to eat, then you shouldn’t be travelling and should stay home. Depending on your timing, if you happened to be at one of the food stations when the food trays are being refilled, you will get hot food. Otherwise, the food quickly loses it heat sitting in the trays. There are no food warming lamps in the stations to maintain the heat. The food offering can seem repetitive, so if I can make a suggestion, is that you vary your focus on your food selections. For example, select chicken, one day, meats the other etc., so you don’t get tired of eating the same thing every day. The a la carts book up quickly so I strongly suggest that you make the reservations after you have checked in, as you might not get the restaurant or time you want. The main pool is where you have the animation team activities and on certain days live music. The animation team is very friendly and outgoing, however, in my opinion the team focused heavily on Yoga, dancing and stretching classes. I had to remind them not to neglect the popular, high participation rate of all age’s activities like Bocce, Horseshoe and others. In closing, as I mentioned in my previous reviews, even though it is an all-inclusive package, the restaurants, bar and cleaning staff work very hard. A few dollars to us will not break you, however, it will be very appreciated by them as my understanding their pay isn’t very much.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Always awesome place to stay

Always awesome place to stay, this was our second time there, we also brought the kids on the trip , kid friendly with a kids water park with slides etc,great food very clean and awesome service!most likely be the place we go next time again..

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Awesome resort

Plenty to do .. daily activities to great night shows. The gym was outdated compared to the rest of the resort. Would have like additional choices of Le cartes. For a large resort I would like to have had more than 3 Lecarte the week choices. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to....thank you for taking care of us.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing resort

The hotel was fantastic. They accommodated us to change our room so we could be closer to friends. The grounds were very well maintained. The staff were extremely friendly. The food was fantastic. Having trolled running often, helped us reach the beach quicker when we were ready to enjoy the view.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great time!

My family Recently stayed at Bahia Principe Coba from nov 22-dec 1st! We had a fantastic trip! The hotel was beautiful and huge. We enjoyed having the option to go to the other attached resort “Tulum” we found that they had a fun entertainment team during the day at the main pool and were conveniently close to beach access. Coba on the other hand had great entertainment in the evenings and we really enjoyed sitting outside listening to different performances and the new sports bar was defini [... read more]tely a highlight! Coba is definitely a family friendly resort! I didn’t take my children this trip but they would have had a blast with the water slides and the shows they had specifically for kids not to mention the buffet! Next time I’d bring them! The food was all around decent and they had many options to choose from! The service was for the most part good our server Jose at breakfast was awesome! So it was nice being greeted by him every morning :) I think they could use more staff in the restaurants/buffets, as well as poolbar tenders at times they were so swamped! All in all we had a wonderful time and would go back :)

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Five star+ resort

Grand Bahia Principe is one of a kind. It is the staff, the customer service who makes a difference in the hotel. From the room, the activities, the spectacle/events are well organized and funny, with high intensity music that makes your body move. I choose Grand Bahai whenever we go on all inclusive vacations, this is our third one so far and couldn't say anything negative about it. We are so pleased and so grateful for our vacations. Thank you. Sakirah and Cassam Jaunbocus

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Vacation

The hotel was well kept, landscaping was beautiful most of the staffs were friendly and helpful. Some of the staffs and security need to stop making advances at females without a partner. We were there for a gateway with family and friend and a well deserved break from work I don’t need to be harassed. I felt violated and unsafe when one of the security asked me for my room number to visit.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Fantastic resort.

This was our first trip that we have taken. We stayed at the bahia principe sian kian. The rooms the staff were absolute amazing. I have never received such fantastic service anywhere, from the front desk to the bartenders to the server's. Would definitely go back. If your looking for a resort to have a great time this place is for you.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Honeymoon Bliss

We really enjoyed our stay at this resort for our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived we knew we made the right choice! The accommodations, service, food, staff and amenities were excellent. We will be back!

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Best Vacation Ever

I came to the Akumal with my family (in total a group of 11). During check in, the lady at the front desk ensured my family and I stayed together in the building which I greatly appreciated. The rooms were large and beautiful, I had fresh towels and a made bed everyday. The trolly drivers were very accommodating and friendly, some would go out of their way to drive me and my 5 yr old home (even if it wasn’t on their route) The food was delicious and always new and exciting as the akumal h [... read more]ad new themes every night. My favourite part were all the activities available. I participated in soccer, Zumba in the water, a dance class on the beach, swimming with A dolphin named Azul, jetskiing, a 3KM run with Jesus and a bike tour with Victor 2.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Amazing Experience!

My friend and I had a wonderful time at this resort. It is a large hotel, but there is quick and timely transportation by train constantly. It feels like you are in your own little town, and the resort itself is gorgeous. The staff was wonderful and food was very good. This may have been the cleanest beach I have been to in DR.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Hotel Room unsatisfactory. Staff wonderful. Food servers tried hard but seemed understaffed

The hotel room in 76 block was suboptimal due to toilet not flushing properly; musty odour in room; musty odours of pillow; pillows were very flat; AC may not be fully working? The grounds were very clean. Disturbing odour between the 7's and 8's blocks. The trolley drivers were very accommodating.Room services excellent. Bicycle tour with Victor2 was fantastic. Beach bars were extraordinarily hospitable and efficient.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing resort@

Wonderful resort. This resort is great value with great a great beach and lots to see and do. Buffet is good with many choices. There is some construction going on but did not impact our stay. Staff are friendly and eager to help. Rooms are a bit dated but clean and functional. You also have access to the other resorts in the complex.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Wondering vacation. Couldn't have asked for more

The quality of their customer service took this trip to a whole other level. So glad I stayed here. Definitely will be returning to the Bahia resort. The view was spectacular, the beaches clean and the general atmosphere was incredible.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Fun in the sun

Great value affordable vacation in Jamaica without compromise. The pool bar centre activities were a blast. Excellent quite area options in multiple pools plus extensive beach areas to explore. Food was beyond expectations with 4 a la cartes each one offering tasty full menus.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Terrible Resort

Upon arrival they were very friendly and the check in process was fast. The rooms were very clean and that is the only nice thing I have to say. There was often no water and electricity at the beach bar. They had ice, bottled water, juices and pop but refused to serve drinks. Don't go expecting to have service at the beach because you won't ! Staff was always trying to sell legal and illegal substances. We did not feel safe at the beach and the staff was very rude! This is not a 5 star resort

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Beautiful Property

Choosing Jamaica was easy; however we had never been so a resort was a harder choice but we are so thankful we chose Luxury Bahia Principe Runaway Bay. We cannot say enough about how amazing our experience here was - everything from the check-in to the welcome we received upon entering our room was flawless. Food was amazing, pool was perfect, staff were phenomenal & the beach was beautifult! We cannot wait to book our next trip to this property!
