Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Relaxing resort.

We found the resort very clean, well landscaped and welcoming. Food offered was varied and different themes dictated the menu each day. Rooms were well organized and clean. Housekeeping staff was excellent and aimed to please. We booked the Royal Golden package and found this was unnecessary. Alcohol choices were the same for all guests and there were “premium” brands available at an extra cost. The only advantage to our upgrade was bathrobe, slippers, room service and access to a lounge whi [... read more]ch actually seated only four people and was simply part of the office used by the Transat representative and a hotel liaison. Evening entertainment resembled most other Dominican resorts except the one evening the Acrobatics act was excellent. Although the resort was not crowded, we still found it necessary to towel our beach chairs early in the morning to ensure a shaded location. This was probably the most disappointing aspect of our two weeks. Despite the signs posted on the palapa, we found it necessary to save a spot and staff did not enforce the “no saving” of chairs. Disappointing. Also the beach was heavily used by guests of the sister resort, the Bouginville, although we were told we could not use their beach. Again, simple enforcement of rules would eleviate problems. Regarding the specialty restaurants, nothing special and the Asian was, by far, the most disappointing. Not an Asian menu and extremely slow service combined with incorrect orders made it a memorable evening. We would return booking the regular package and possibly 10 days rather than 14.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Top Notch Resort

My wife and I have been to Mexico probably around 20 times over the last 40 years and we both agree that this resort is our favorite. This was our second time there and have no complaints at all. Grounds, pools , rooms , staff, food etc. are all excellent. Booked thru Trip Central and all went smoothly.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Gorgeous Resort

Resort was beautiful grounds were kept very clean housekeeping services were also very good One thing I did not like was the constant requests to book an appointment at luxury side they were quite insistent Also the temperature of the food could have been warmer

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Brutal!!!

Very unfortunately, this Bahia Principe Ambar was no where near up to par with any 4+ star resort I have EVER been to. For a 'brand new' facility, the list of deficiencies is enormous. My large group experienced rooms with no shower doors, no bathroom doors, and toilets dislodging and falling out of walls! On our second last day there, as crowds of people were sitting on the patio enjoying an evening coffee, the coffee shop door, made entirely of thick glass, literally burst into thousands of [... read more] shards of glass for no apparent reason!!! If that weren't bad enough, the cleaning staff unlocked balcony doors to 'clean' the balcony and then left the door open/unlocked and refused to replenish the refrigerator with items that were to be All-inclusive, unless they were paid/tipped daily. The property itself is fine, but the staff (with the exception of a few) were miserable and barely even smiled or entertained small talk. Oh...sensitive to mosquitos? This is NOT the destination for you. I am NOT sensitive at all (been to Jamaica, Mexico and Cuba with no issue whatsoever), but managed to come home with at least 30 bites from this place. Ugh! After spending $1800/person, this resort was a huge disappointment!!! My

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Wonderful time with the family!

It was perfect for families with children as there was lots to do with them. The shows were geared for the kids. I enjoyed the service and smiles from all the staff despite not speaking much English. Everyone appeared to be very helpful. Not so keen on the phone variety but overall everything was solid.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: A little tired...but clean

the grounds are kept lovely, and the resort is clean, but it is in dire need of an overhaul/reno. A fresh coat of paint and roofing replaced would go a long way to achieving this. The palms on the beach are lovely, and provide ample shade for when you've had enough sun. The breakwater lumps in the water, while effective at reducing the surf and resulting dangerous undertow, are unsightly and spoil the beauty. Since they turn a light green color with the algae, maybe instead of black, a light gr [... read more]een color or an aqua color might've helped them 'blend' into the scenery a little better. Service was overall very good, and the food was, well....the food. Not any better or any worse than most other resorts in the Caribbean, but certainly nothing to rave about. The Dolce Vito and the Takana ala cartes were decent, but the Orquidea ala carte was above average. Since we travelled with Air Canada, we were allowed 4 ala cartes, so we chose to go to Orquidea twice. Insect bites. Now here's a real minus. After a couple of days we noticed we were both getting small red welts all over, and were they itchy! At first, my wife thought they might be bed bugs, but after close inspection we determined this was not the case. We didn't feel anything biting us, and didn't see anything either. We were puzzled for a day or two, but we noticed others with the same red welts on their legs and arms. Then we saw them. Right around 5pm, when the sun was getting lower in the sky, tiny, almost microscopic winged bugs. Sandfleas we suspect. We coated ourselves with bug repellent as well as sunscreen for the remainder of the week, but the itching sort of spoiled the vacation. We have been to other resorts in the past where they fog the beach and pool areas with insecticides at dusk when everyone is away from those areas. The nightly entertainment was ghastly, although the Michael Jackson show and the circus show were quite good. All in all a good time, but a few things need addressing at this resort.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Fantastic resort

We traveled as a group of friends. The resort was clean, rooms clean with supplies restocked daily. We always had good food to choose from. Pools we're clean with lots of chairs available. The staff was good, although they worked on Dominican time, we appreciated the slower pace !We had no complaints at all about this resort and would return. We had a chance to view the adult only sections and are going to book our next stay there!

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: 9th Time

Smaller quiet hotel. Everything close by, beach is calm and no big hotels on either side for miles. Great walking beach and very scenic. Been there 9 times now. Food pretty good and staff are super. Drinks on the beach are of middle shelf standards.

Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Amazing resort

although my husband and got food poision the second day and we were flat out for two days sick in bed. the rest of our time was recovering, not eating much after this it took a tole on our bodies. the resort was beautiful and relaxing Sandy McKenna

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Girls getaway

The resort was huge and great. Very clean and lots of room to roam. I found if you didn’t want to walk the trollies can take you. The food was decent but the beach was not as nice as other resorts in the area. I would go back.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing resort

We've been travelling south every winter for the last 14 years and this is the first time we've gone to the same resort twice. The selection at the buffet was amazing. Foods from around the world to accommodate the variety of nationalities. The gourmet restaurant was outstanding.The resort was immaculate and sparkling clean. Workers were painting, cleaning, and repairing constantly. I requested the west side of the resort facing the bay and that is what we received. The jerk chicken at the beac [... read more]h restaurant was a hit and daily go to meal for myself, my husband and mother. The music at night on the veranda was lovely and we looked forward to the nightly line up. The water on the bay side was pristine and the snorkeling was good. We all loved our stay. The only thing I didn't understand was why we couldn't go to the 5 star section on the east side of the complex. I was curious and was wandering to see if its somewhere we would come to next and promptly got chased off by security! I wasn't in the pool or eating the food, I was only exploring. I didn't like the feeling of being a trespasser after crossing some invisible line. Other than that, we all had a great time.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Awesome Vacation

This recently renovated hotel was amazing. My wife and I had a great vacation and will be going back. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was unforgettable. Until next time Punta Cana!!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Superb Resort!

Hotel was as good as it gets. Clean and very nice rooms, friendly professional service oriented staff Beach was fantastic. Restaurants were great quality in most cases with extensive choices of different cuisines. Overall, one of my best experiences for an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean. P.S. The daily fresh jerk chicken in the beach restaurant was amazing. ;) Will go back again when the chance comes Sharad Sood

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: An experience of a lifetime

From the moment we arrived the staff was ready and the fun began. Service was complete and no one was concerned if you chose to relax or seek adventure. I understand Jamaica from its' people; friendly, dedicated yet carefree! On and off the resort we felt safe and fulfilled. Take advantage of what is offered you won't regret it!

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great resort for families or large groups

huge resort, very nice people,great jerk chicken. I prefer smaller resorts with less crowds.resort is starting to show its age. Seems construction, upgrades have started. Beach service would be a bonus. be prepared to walk a lot..

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Loved this resort

Had been to this adult only resort when it first opened 7 years ago. It was working all the bugs out. My second stay there was much better. The resort felt more established, organized and had a good vibe about it. Great variety of food, rooms done up in timely fashion, beach was clean and close to all services..... stress-free vacation. BP took good care of us. Keep up the good work - we will be back!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Bahia Principe Ambar was amazing !

The newly renovated resort did not disappoint. The rooms were beautiful and ours had a swim up which we loved having access to at any time. The grounds were beautiful. They have a coffee shop and sports bar. The Food was great and the people who work there are so nice. We loved our stay this year.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Amazing resort

I was impressed with resort , staff, service, beach, cleanliness , and overall atmosphere. The pools were great and was advised by our travel agent to upgrade to a room with our own swim up pool to the patio. Will be going again

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Nice quiet, great food amd service

This is a nice quiet one, not like a party place...a little faraway from airport but transfer was good. Food is great and so is the service. Troleys between other resorts are also convenient. Beach is not that good. Too small and crowded.. overall recommend this place
