Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Very relaxing vacation

The hotel is in a very beautiful setting. The beach is perfect with clear water and nice coral reefs with fish, you can walk on the beach left and right side of the hotel for kilometers and enjoy the view. The hotel is nice, food is good and the overall environment is friendly and relaxing. The hotel is perfect for couples who want to relax and enjoy quiet time, for families with children.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Excellent!!!

1) I recommend one more Billiard in TULUM (except of the Sports Bar) in COBA. 2) Billiard in the Sports Bar in COBA was not in good condition and one ball was missing 3) I recommend normal size Chess Board with figures in the Sports Bar or somewhere else

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: A Must Return Resort

Food is excellent, beaches are spectacular, room second to none, easy to get around, super staff, great bar service, Relax Pool is really relaxing, scenic drive from the airport. Looking forward to our fifth visit soon.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: It's really good

The resort has excellent beaches - big and small for every taste. Jamaican food was very good here. People are friendly and ready to help. We enjoyed our stay a lot. I'd suggest two improvements though: Additional shelves in the shower (I put my stuff on the floor, and it was inconvenient) and espresso machines in bars. Thank you a lot!

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: top notch resort for kids

First off I'd like to say this was my 4th visit to bahia fantais in Punta cana. If you have kids thisbis the resort to go to the staff go out of there way to entertain the kids. This section of bahia has so many hidden gems like it's own pizza bar by the waterpark aswell as popsicles and icecream!. Atleast 2days a week they put big blow up slides in the main pool or all ages to use! If you would like to know alot more about this resort please feel free to join a Facebook group I run called (fant [... read more]asia bahia principe punta cana) its filled with the most up to date information,photos and videos.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Super vacation destination

The hotel grounds are clean and well kept , as well as the beach and pool areas. The rooms are well maintained ,the staff are second to none and very friendly. The food, be it the restaurants or the buffet is excellent. Definitely worth the value and well worth a return holiday visit.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Not a 5 star!

Beautiful grounds, excellent food, but the rooms were very run down. Beach is not the best as the entire Mexico coast is dealing with a seaweed issue but they worked hard to have it cleaned up quickly. We did not find the service to be exceptional - it was a hit or miss. One night our server in the restaurant was very rude and sometimes people did not even say hello. Overall, a nice getaway but would not classify the resort as a 5 star. The gourmet restaurants were delicious but we enjoyed the v [... read more]ariety at the buffet.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Got what was promised

Hotel was clean and organized. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The entire resort was spotless Food was pretty decent, Jamaican was by far the best! Music and entertainment was great. Water was always clean, bar guys were always quick and fun. All and all I'd go back next week.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Huge Huge Resort

This hotel was absolutely Huge!! You have to take a Trolley everywhere you go and it’s super easy to get lost on this resort and with the lack of communication and language barriers good luck trying to find help! We had to switch our room due to extreme smell of Mold in the first room it was so bad it took your breath away and the air didn’t work, the second room same issue the air was bad the beds are rock hard the toilet ran non stop and plugged up easily the shower drain was clogged so b [... read more]y the time the three of us showered the third person was standing in dirty water :( the room Also had a pungent urine smell beside the couch that turned into a bed! the third room for our last two nights the air worked but they had to bring in a cot as they only had a king bed room. The food was ok there was a terrible sewer smell at the entrance of the buffet and inside on the one side of the restaurant! The Mexican a la carte was amazing and the beach grill a la carte the Italian is just ok you leave hungry as the portions are very small! The midnight snack bars are great also! The pools are great and the beach is beautiful the drinks are just ok! The majority of the staff are very rude which is the first time I have ever seen this down south I was actually taken back by this! You definitely have to save Chairs with towels at the beach and pools or you will not get one by 10 in the morning:( overall we had a good time but probably would not return to this resort! This has been our 7th time at a Bahia resort and our favourite is the Mayan Riveria Bahia we are returning there in October 2019 for our friends wedding:)

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great Resort

The resort is awesome, this was our 3rd time there and it never disappoints. Highly recommend to anyone. The steak house was awesome we went there twice. The buffet has different themed nights (Jamaican, Spanish, Italian, Asian etc) and they are all great. The beach is well groomed and the grounds are spectacular. We stayed in building 11 again and in my opinion has the best oceanfront view of the hotel.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Not that impressed

We recently stayed at Grand Bahia for our first visit to Jamaica and for the money we spent we were not impressed. Our rooms were never fully restocked and trying to get the missing items was a chore. Sometimes it would take hours and a second phone call to the concierge to get what we needed, and other times it did not arrive at all. The electricity was not strong so the blow drier in our room barely had any power. The shower shifted from too hot to too cold without warning. The food was medioc [... read more]re and there was little variety between breakfast, lunch and dinner. And although the staff were lovely, we were afraid to talk to people because it always ended up in them trying to sell you something...always!! I have never been accosted so much at a resort. The grounds were beautiful as was the pool area, but I guess I was expecting more for the money.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sian Ka’an! We knew going into it that we would be about a ten minute shuttle cart ride from the beach and were completely okay with that! We are more of beach people than pool people so would make sure to pack enough stuff for the day because once we shuttled to the beach it’s better to stay there for a little while. The good thing is that Sian Ka’An guests have access to the entire resort. So we could have lunch by the beach at the Akumal. Having our own [... read more] private part on the beach was great with beach bars near by and people always coming around taking drink orders. There are tons of restaurants to choose from including two that only we have access to which we went to both and loved them (Maiko and Alux). We never really went to the Tulum part of the resort so mainly went back and forth on the cart between Akumal and Sian Ka’an as they are the two Luxury ones. The Sian Ka’an is very clearly an older crowd and although we are only in our 20s we liked having a place to stay which was more quiet away from everything. Staff were very friendly! We were very pleased with our stay!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Relaxing Vacation

Excellent rooms, very spacious and clean. The staff and service is excellent and prompt. The grounds are beautifully maintained and clean. The pool area is very nice and big with lots of room. The beach is okay nothing special. The nightly entertainment could improve on the adult side of the resort, however, on the family side there is plenty of entertainment. The food was good lots of selection. My over all experience was great!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great family resort

The resort area is huge, well maintained, very clean and groomed. What we liked it has a loot of greens, palm trees, bushes, you can find the shade anywhere. The transportation works really good, and staff a is very helpful and friendly. Anywhere we went we found a great service in this resort area. Kid’s waterpark is safe, being monitored by the life guards all the time, our son loved it! It will be great for kids up to age of 8-9 years old. The only issue is if you’d like to stay a while [... read more] then you have to reserve an umbrella much earlier, because a lot of people just come right in the morning and put their towels on the benches under the tents and umbrellas and leave. I guess, the staff can’t do anything about it. The beach of Coba was all covered with seaweed, which was very disappointing for us, as we are prefer the sea site and the beach. We had no access to the water, nor from Coba nor from Tulum hotel’s area. We went to Acumal hotel’s beach, which was clean for swimming and beach. But we couldn’t use their equipment. The buffets and a la carte restaurants were great, the food is really testy and has a lot of variety. You can find almost everything. I would definitely go back if the beach will be clean.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Fantastic Resort!

This was the first trip we took to Mexico and we are so glad we went! The Grand Bahia Principe Coba was amazing and the hotel staff were extremely friendly. The rooms were large and very clean! The fridge was restocked everyday with beverages and snacks which was great! The hotel was huge but we made it around on the shuttles to the neighboring hotels with ease. It was great that we had access to those properties as well as their restaurants, each hotel had something unique to offer. T [... read more]here were several pools that we visited which were awesome. We did go down to the beach however there was a lot of seaweed at the time which couldn't be helped. The crews worked really hard all day long clearing away the seaweed so that everyone could enjoy the beach. The dining was fabulous! We went to the buffet and they had every kind of food you could imagine. We really enjoyed our time at the Coba and would highly recommend this hotel. We plan on going back again next year!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Awesome

This was our first time and the experience was top notch the food was fabulous the atmosphere was excellent lots of entertainment day and night, The only thing was a barrier between languages with the staff. I would definitely recommend this resort it was a great experience.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: nice resort

The hotel was clean, but a bit dated. The beach was nice, very clean, no garbage around, you could walk for hours as long as you don't mind getting off the resort property. The food was OK. Unfortunately, we could not get into the "À la carte" restaurants even with it being the off season.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Truly beautiful

Our family or 3, two adults and one 2 and half year old went to Coba mid-May. It was our first time going to Mexico and to an all-inclusive resort and we were amazed at how well-ran this place is and how everything is so convenient for us. I did about 2 weeks of intense research prior to booking this particular resort, on tripadvisor, speaking to coworkers, youtube, etc, and decided to try Coba. I have about 5 coworkers that have been to this very same resort, all with 1 or 2 small children a [... read more]nd every single one of them said excellent things about this place. The receptionist who was very friendly and patient at listening to a steaming traveler who was still wearing Canada weather leggings at 31 degree humid Cancun weather at 1pm in the afternoon. I made a request to be closer to the ground level, close to the main lobby, and close to buffet, and on the quieter side. She took my request and we got settled in building 22A. The room had working AC, working mini-fridge, a working TV with 60 channels, the room was very clean and had shampoo/conditioner/body wash/body lotion. We chose a suite with 2 separate beds and it came with an extra single bed, and it came in handy because we are not used to the hot weather, so the 3 of us took one bed each to rest sometimes. The room had great blinds and we were able to close off the metal doors on the balcony and layers of thick black out curtains, and the room was very dark and dark enough to let all of us take naps. The mini fridge was replenished everyday, although we only drank water and probably 1 or two pops throughout our stay. Food: the buffet selection was impressive and had everything. There were different themes each day such as Asian, Spanish, etc, and that'd be the focus of some of the dishes, but there were also staples that do not change from day to day, overall the food selection is guaranteed to satisfy every consumer. Foods were fresh and I was always impressed at how MUCH effort is put in the kitchen to deliver such grand selection of food on time, 3 times a day, everyday. Although some dishes did not taste great (for example, their Asian noodles) or sometimes the dishes needed a bit more seasoning, but I am not mad about it at all since there's so many things to choose from and I'm not looking to have the best Chinese stir fry at a Mexican resort. There is only children section and my toddler liked their sausages and pancakes. We only stayed at the resort but we did go and dine at Tulum, I'd say Tulum had smaller selection of buffet and the food quality was about the same as Coba, though Tulum buffet had better decors in the dinning hall, but that's really besides the point. We had 2 choices of a la carte, and as per recommended we choose Mashua (Japanese and Peruvian fusion) and Cozumel in premiere lobby. We enjoyed Mashua way more, the red tuna was the best dish I have ever tasted, hands down. The waiters at Cozumel, Roger and another younger gentleman, gave us better service. Speaking of service, every waiter and waitress at buffet were friendly and quick, and they do work very hard. Tips: not mandatory, but we had about 25 $1 US bills with us for 5 days 4 nights trip, and we gave out pretty much all of them to wait staff, hotel staff, lobby receptionist at check out (there was only one guy doing the check out and there was a huge line). I`d like to address the smell I heard from several travelers and it also concerned me prior to going, when I went there, I realized the smell was there only in the early morning on two different days in specific areas, and it quickly diminished after we leave the area, or it goes away after a while and it never bothered us. The second thing I want to address is the seaweed on the beach. Akumal side of the beach had less seaweed on the day we went there and Tulumn had more, certain parts were ok but certain parts of the beach had long stretch of seaweed. Did it bother us? Not at all. This part of mexico isn't know for its beach, so we gladly stayed in the pool. Speaking of pool, every pool close to the edge is children-friendly, and some of the deeper areas only reach to about an adult's chest area or lower, I think this was designed with safety of swimmers in mind. Interestingly enough, the pools in Coba were a lot cleaner than Tulumn's. Tulumn's pools had sand and other small things such as leaves in there, not something that bothered us but it was just a mere observation in comparison to Coba's pools. The children's waterpark was fun and my boy had a great time playing with smaller slides on the sides and going up and down the stairs, and lifeguards there are very vigilant and they aren't afraid to tell children to stop rough play or do unsafe activities.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Best vacation in a long time!!!

Hotel staff were amazing and friendly. Resort gardens and beach were stunning. Food was great! Lots of options. Our suite was great for our family. There was a crib in our room upon arrival. We didn’t even have to ask for it. Cleaners cane to the rooms at reasonable times and felt safe all the time on the resort. Water gym was so fun! Pools were clean and big. Lots of chairs available. Met lots of great people. The Italian and Mediterranean restaurant were out of this world amazing. I would re [... read more]commend the grouper or salmon dishes. Can’t get any fresher than that. The service was great. Buffet staff come to help you with drinks faster than any all inclusive I’ve been to. So professional and friendly. Buffet breakfast makes the best omelettes I have ever had! There was honestly nothing bad about this resort. If you love coffee make sure you try the cappuccinos, they are stellar! Trip central /air canada offered one of the best flight times for our family vacation

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Needs improvements

The little things stop this resort from being a 5 star. Only two outlets in the room, none near the bed if you even brought your own clock radio which they don’t have in the rooms. Lopsided toilet seat that’s screw down that way. How does that get by final inspection? Inconsistent maid service, sometimes 10am then other days 5pm and you never got the same amount of towels. Never saw facecloths after the first day. Majority of staff very friendly but others too busy on their phones to even a [... read more]cknowledge you. Standard buffet food so you never went hungry but who serves chicken wings, mashed potatoes or even pork chops for breakfast? A la cartel restaurants overall descent but book your reservations before you go and don’t worry about dress clothes as you can wear anything and still get in. Get ready to play towel game if you want front row at the beach otherwise there are lots of loungers farther back.
