Fantastic Resort!! Great Service!!

There is lots of chairs/lounges around both pools and the beach. You never need to reserve a spot. The food was great at both the buffet and the newly opened gourmet restaurant. Service in all the dining areas is spectacular. The entertainment staff are very friendly and engaging with all the guests.

Wonderful week

We stayed for 1 week. The Resort checked all the boxes for us...clean, modern, excellent pool area, pool bars, entertainment, excellent service, great food at the a la cartes and buffets. We would definitely return.

Nice resort

This was my second time at this resort and the service was not as good as last year but better than other resorts I have been at. We never met the butler but did not really need one. We met up with some friends and we were not greeted the same which is not that big of a deal for us but the lack of consistency is a problem. We sat around the pools most of the times and sometimes we did not see any waiters and sometimes we did. Overall it is a very nice resort and friendly staff.

Amazing resort!

Luxury Bahia Principe Bougainville........I have nothing bad to say......Rooms were very spacious, luxurious, clean and welcoming. The food.......Oh My God, the food.......phenomenal is the word that best describes it for me. Regardless of your preferences, there was always an excellent selection for all tastes. The pools, grounds and beach were impeccably clean and kept. There was a pool for every choice......livelier or more relax. The grounds were very well kept and the flora was amazing [... read more]. The beach was lovely. I have to say that the staff are some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. All in all a 10 Star for me!!!!!!!!

Best Resort Ever!!!

This was our 2nd time to this resort and it didn't disappoint. It has expanded and added more rooms, another pool, and a Gourmet and Japanese restaurants. The service at this resort is a 10star! We had the most amazing service all week, from our Butler(who was by far the best ever.. Fausto), our servers at the lobby bar, our breakfast, lunch, and dinners at the buffets, but the Gourmet restaurant is the cream of the crop. The food was amazing and the staff were so much fun, fast, and attentiv [... read more]e to every need you had. Going back again for sure

Excellent resort

Grounds immaculate....Las Corrales best a la carte restaurant....buffet is great for breakfast lunch and dinner....always great service also.....the concierge service was not comparable to last year....never even met one....last year Miguel would come to us everyday to make sure everything was as we wanted

Not a five star

Beautiful grounds, rooms, pools, beach. Ocean is dark and murky, not swimmable, not as pictured in the promos. No hot water in the room most of the time, had to phone the concierge whenever we wanted to shower, usually got hot water eventually. All a la carte restaurants except two were fully booked for the whole week when we got there, so ignore the promos that say you can dine a la carte every night, it's completely untrue. Food at the buffets is ok, but not 5 star for sure. Excursion t [... read more]o Soana Island is a 2 hour boat ride where photographers constantly snap photos of you, with the plan to sell them to you on the way back. A 2 hour boat ride gets you 2 hours on a beautiful beach, then back on a boat for the ride back, a waste of a day. Bus ride from the airport is 1 hour, bus ride back is closer to 2 hours as you detour to various hotels to pick up passengers.

Nice resort

Resort was kept very clean, food was not as great, there was problems with the room but they corrected it with gifts. The beach was not very nice, the gourmet a la Carte was the only good restaurant. The cleaning maid forgot to restock the mini bar everyday.

Wonderful resort

This resort is beautiful. The staff is very friendly and eager to please. The rooms are spacious and clean. The grounds are kept imacculate and has very nice walkways around the whole property. The food is great and lots of variety. I would definitely recommend this resort.

Excellent resort- great service, great entertainment, but the beach is not so good. I am more swarming pool person so it did not bother me at all!

Rooms are clean, the resort is beautiful, lots of grean speace, lots of facilities, gym, spa, tennis court, golf, bikini and many activities. This resorts is more fit for couples then single people. However, I would go agsin for sure

Nice hotel, non suitable sea water!

Nice, clean, pleasant, ideal for relaxation, helpful staff, decent food. The hotel is located in a bay area attached to the family section, sandy, clean beach, but dirty sea area / location, not suitable to swim, snorkel, etc.

Similar to other Luxury Bahia Principe resorts

We've stayed at 5 LBP resorts now and this was worst location we've stayed at. The hotel chain does a nice job with everything under theiron control. The beach, flies, sand flees, wasps, bees, cock roaches and sewage smell were the worst part. Room great. Services great. Food mostly great. Okay for a pool vacation but I would say the we will not go back.

Worth the money

The hotel was beautiful. The rooms (we had ocean front) were very nice and comfortable. The cleanliness was outstanding accross the entire grounds, never once was there an issue with any public restroom or eating place the whole two weeks we were there. I would highly recommended this to those who want to relax and get away from it all.

Luxurious resort !!!

Beautiful rooms and beautiful beach area. If you are a Non smoking person, this resort is great because they have designated smoking area especially in the lobby and beach area. Surprisingly, there were fewer smokers than expected from this luxurious resort. The entertainment crews are very funny.

Definitely Lives Up To It's Name --- LUXURY

We've been to many 4 star a few 5 star resorts, but this one was tops for us so far. The food was always top notch and a nice variety. We tried the Al A Carte restaurants, but found the buffet just as good if not better. The grounds are meticulously kept and are picture worthy everywhere we went, even on the Grand Bahia side which is for families and a lot busier. Even the mosquitoes were minimal because they spray regularly. The shows were better than we've seen at other places, esp. the high-w [... read more]ire acts, and were entertaining. The beach and pool areas were not crowded and we could always find nice seating, although if you want a 'front and center' lounge you'll have to reserve early (we didn't, so no problems). We plan on going back....we were that impressed. Okay....so now the BAD. Public Smoking should be outlawed....PERIOD !!! It wasn't and it was pretty prevalent everywhere we went (except in dining rooms). But all of the outdoor bars and entertainment areas are VERY poisoned with it. I have more to tell you but this site is too small....see my review at TripAdvisor.

Fantastic vacation!

No problem with the check-in, got our room a bit earlier than expected. Amazing room - big and we'll maintained. We had a coffee maker and coffee was stocked every day, as well as pop and beer in the minifridge. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. The maids made decorations with the towel and curtains. We also had a turn-down service - including chocolates. Food at buffet was excellent, lot of choices. Went to 3 à la carte restaurants, all very good. Excellent service from the employees, the [... read more]y remembered our name the first day. No problem getting a palapa in the morning, lot of beach chairs. Great beach with amazing view of the sunset. Enjoyed the pool with swim up bar. We loved that there was an "Employee Recognition" on Sunday. Thumbs up to the manager. We would return to this resort in a heartbeat!

Paradise!!!

Such a clean and friendly resort. The gardens were beautiful, the pool area was spotless and had a cool pool bar. One of the guys working the bar was called Jorje, great guy and really funny. Food was surprisingly really good. Lots of choices with lots of a la cartes. Welcome cocktail at breakfast every morning, Marmosa's, Bloody Mary's etc. Beach games, Pool games, night shows, disco, unique shopping, excursions, they really have it all. I really recommend booking with Bouganville instead of L [... read more]a Romana. The reason is that Bouganville is right next to it but cozier and quieter. For the extra price it gives you premium drinks, (Jameson, Jack Daniels, Ceasers, Amaretto, etc). Not only that but it gives you access to a quieter beach, nice white linen sun bed things, quieter pool. Its exclusive, and you get access to the other resort. If your there to relax and maybe party, book Bouganville. If your there to party all the time, book La Romana. Im going back!

Best vacation in twenty years.

This all inclusive vacation was perfection. The rooms, staff, beach, pool and the food was outstanding. I have never been treated so well. I find myself looking back at the resort after returning wishing I was still there. Thank you for making me feel like I was truly on vacation.

Beautiful Resort

This resort was amazing. They went above and beyond to make each individual feel special. Our butler was amazing and booked all our a la cartes for us. The grounds were stunning and the beach was large with lots of chairs to choose from in either the sun or shade. The food was good and the rooms clean and beautiful.

Beautiful and So Clean but lacking in some areas

The grounds at this resort are stunningly beautiful and all areas are kept spotlessly clean! Rooms were lovely and very well maintained (except for the tv, which never worked at all) The food was good enough, but no comparison to other resorts we have stayed in Punta Cana area such as The Ocean Blue and Sand and Now Larimar. The buffet lacked a proper set up, and they should look at the flow and set up separate stations for self serve items away from the poor chef trying to do omlettes, etc. on  [... read more]the flat top. Staff were warm and friendly, but the wait staff in restaurants and most bars almost made a career out of avoiding work. The exceptions to this were Adolfina and Jorge at the pool bar. They worked very hard from morning until night. The manager Manuela was a lovely woman and was always around and very accommodating. The butlers who are supposed to be at your disposal seem to go into hiding once you are situated in your room. This was a comment made by many we met. Overall, they seemed to have tons of staff, but only a small proportion of them seemed to be doing all the work. This hotel caters to Francophones, to the extent we would find introductions at Managers parties, etc. with French as the first language, rather than Spanish. A large group of 140 arrived from Quebec and Montreal while we were there and would basically take over the area in front of the swimup bar and not move away. I know there are many nice French speaking people, but many of these were quite loud and rude. Entertainment was a bit repetitive and they played music that catered more to the older crowd. If you are over 40 and looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation, this is a good place to go. Overall, for a "luxury" adults only, I guess we expected a little bit more for our money.
