Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Great resort!

Stayed for 9 nights. Nice clean, friendly resort. Large property, not so friendly if you have accessibility concerns. Great food and drinks. Staff accommodating with requests. Would go again. Lots of beach area...clean clear water. Snorkeling was great right off the beach. Great beach towel service, never had an issue getting clean towels. Lots of chairs on beach.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Superb grounds, very clean accommodations and good food!

We had a fantastic time at this large resort. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a safe and relaxing vacation. Lots to do, if you want to do anything or just simply relax. Loved the live outdoor music each night in the common square. The martinis were delicious and the service are gracious. We would love to go back!

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Amazing family resort!

We just returned and can’t say enough good things about this resort. The staff is amazing, the resort is beautiful, so many activities (our kids are 7,5 and 18 months). Well kept resort, we were nervous of the hand foot and mouth reviews but we had no issues and didn’t see anyone there that did either. Food was great for everyone, including picky eaters! Activities and shows were always fun, my kids were kept busy and happy the whole time. Rooms were clean and spacious. We were sad to leav [... read more]e!! Highly recommend this resort!!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great resort

The grounds were well kept, staff was friendly, security always walking around and very polite, food was good, pool was crowded but very clean and bartenders great. The beach area was amazing...shallow roped in area and calm. Plenty of space between the chairs so you have your space. Cleaning crew very thorough. Overall it was a great vacation and would recommend.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Excellent Resort!

The resort was fantastic overall. Was safe all the time. The staff are friendly, helpful and so accommodating. We enjoyed the morning, afternoon and evening activities. The food were delicious. The restaurants has wonderdul service and the food are exemplary. Would definitely go back. We love the beach. The morning zumba and the yoga is my fave! We highly recommend this resort!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing Resort

From the first moment arriving at the resort we were truly in awe of how beautiful the grounds were and the majestic lobby. Food was great and plenty of choices at the bufett. The a la carte restaurans were all fabulous. All the staff were friendly and polite. Our AC was not working and once reported maintenance was there within a few hrs to fix. Our room was lovely and our bar fridge was restocked daily. The entertainment crew did a good job of including everyone in the activities. If you are  [... read more]a beach walker this is not the place for you as situated in a cove. The evening show was over at 10pm and the only thing then to do was go to the kareoke bar which was not what we were looking for. The disco opened at 11pm but it was so loud and played music that was certainly not condusive of an island resort. The lobby band finished at 10.30pm. Therfore we found the evening entertainment dissapointing.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Amazing vacation.

First time for us at Grand Bahia Principe San Juan and we really enjoyed the resort The resort is clean and the majority of staff are kind and friendly. We had a great time and didn’t want to leave. The beach was huge, private to the resort and clean. Every section of the resort had staff members ready to help you.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Very nice resort

All in all very nice resort. If there was anything I would say was a little disappointing was the fact that if you weren’t by the pool by 9:00 am there were no chairs left. Other than that all in all a very nice resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beautiful

Food was awesome! Buffets and the a la carte restaurants had outstanding food selections. Great service. Beautiful facilities. Clean. Easy to access all the different venues. Would return tomorrow.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Very nice resort

Resort was very nice and clean. Staff were friendly. Food was good. Not on the beach, but the beach was a short walk away. Royal Golden Lobby Bar staff were very attentive, even brought drinks to the pool for us. Try the Mexican Guiness!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beautiful resort

It’s location is away from the beach in the “jungle” the setting is amazing - lovely winding pathways through natural trees and plants. All kinds of birds singing. Wonderful swimming pools. Shuttles to beach and restaurants were fun and no waiting. Food was terrific and the service was excellent . Planning for next year already

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Definitely not 5 Star

The resort definitely did not measure up to its own advertising and 5 Star aspirations. For the most part, staff members were all quite friendly and attentive. The grounds were very well kept and clean, as well as the rooms themselves. However, there were a number of shortcomings that detracted from the overall experience. - one of a very few resorts that still use towel cards and restrict you to one towel at a time. - while advertising 24 hour room service, the menu is fairly limited with b [... read more]reakfast options almost non-existent. - food and service at most restaurants was spotty. There was much confusion at times in serving courses and many times the food arrived barely warm. - while posted as not allowed, smoking at and in the pool was very prevalent. Most disgusting to see people flicking ashes into drink glasses, or worse, into the pool itself. Several instances of cigarette butts floating around the pool. - extensive use of grounds keeping equipment in the same area. Over a one week stay, we had 2 days of rain and 4 days of gas powered equipment in use beside our loungers at the pool. 2 days of hedge trimming; 1 day of grass cutting and leaf blowing and 1 day of pressure washing a sidewalk. Noisy and the smell from the gasoline engines was terrible. - bottled water was not available at the bars or restaurants. A note left in the room bar fridge for extra was essentially ignored. - housekeeping was a bit hit and miss in getting all towels, etc replaced. - our room was missing a chair on the balcony and we called to request another. It was never delivered. The resort and its location is very nice and it’s a shame that it misses on so many aspects. Great potential but not there yet.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Poorly managed oversize resort

This is my experience and brief personal comments about my stay at Grand Bahia Principe on Runaway Bay where we had a great weather with only one day of rain. The resort is huge and very populated and depending on the day space to the pool is restricted and management will ignore your comments or concerns regarding chair reservation despite this rule being posted everywhere around the resort. The beach area was my favorite area to relax and enjoy the scenery. The free wifi is very unreliable  [... read more]and only restricted to the reception area and the space so you might want to pay for upgrade to get a better connection if you need to contact home without getting frustrated. The technical support for the wifi was very limited and I never got to talk or see the technician in charge. The employees are numerous, polite and very well train to do their specific job. I recommend this resort if you don’t mind the crowds during your holiday; as for me I will be looking for a smaller resort for my next vacation in Jamaica.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Very large resort

We were at the Luxury Bahia Principe resort at the end of January 2019. This resort is connected to the Grand Bahia Principe...right next door. Combined there is, I was told, over 800 rooms. The resort has some of the best pools around....many separate pools between the two resorts and all meticulously maintained. The room was very good...very comfortable bed, air conditioning that worked, a small sitting area, a large balcony, etc. We stayed in building 26 (I requested this building upfront thr [... read more]u email) and we had a very nice partial view of the ocean. Staff was very friendly on the Luxury side. Not so much on the Grand side in the a la cartel restaurants. We ate at the two resorts a la carte restaurants. Service on the Luxury side was generally very good. We experienced generally mediocre to poor service on the Grand side. Food was okay...sometimes very good; other times just okay to poor (tough meat for instance). I requested dinner reservations thru email in advance of the trip and so we had five set reservations before we got there. While I am not a fan of dinner reservations while on vacation, preferring to eat when I am ready, it worked okay for our group of six. Wristbands and towel cards is not preferred at a Luxury resort. I understand the need for wristbands....to identify which resort you are from...but just prefer not to. And I have not used a towel card at a resort in many, many years. An inconvenience for me. Weather was okay...we experienced rain...that can happen anywhere...but be aware that Runaway Bay weather was consistently 5/6 degrees cooler than Montego Bay during our stay. Still comfortable at Runaway Bay with temperatures between 21 to 24 degrees. Overall I would rate the Luxury Bahia a 3.5/4 star. Definitely not a five star. In my opinion, I would not return to this resort, preferring Montego Bay resorts over this resort at Runaway Bay.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great time

The grounds were spotless. The staff was very friendly. The King room was very nice. Spacious and clean. The resort was beautiful , the pools, the beach. We had an excellent time. The resort is big , the main lobby is very beautiful and inviting . The staff was prepared and everything was in order upon our arrival. Thanks, Andrew

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Terrific time

The resort was fantastic. The people working there couldn't have been more friendly. A great recommendation and would return again! Our first time to Jamaica and would suggest to anyone going there to consider this resort.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Great resort

Second time around and would go back for a third time. Food was great, service was good,rooms were clean, what more can you ask for. Weather was 30 plus most days and fair entertainment in the evenings.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Relaxing Holiday at large resort

Very clean rooms, beach, washrooms, open areas. Good food at the buffet with lots of variety, preferred the beach restaurant for lunch. Beach was over crowded but beautiful sand if you could find a spot. Plenty of chairs around the pool. Very large resort - easy to walk to everything but there are trolleys to get around for those that find walking too much. Overall good holiday for the price!
