Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Amazing resort

Really liked the ambiance in here, had a good time to relax! This place is highly recommended for our family and friends, food was amazing and service is top notch. the only drawback is the people from timeshare being too pushy, other than that it was amazing

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Absolutely fabulous!

We loved the luxurious clean grounds and rooms with jacuzzi, the staff was super friendly and eager to please. The beds could have been more comfortable however the over all experience was wonderful. We plan on returning in 2 years or so.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: We will be back again!!!!

We had such an amazing time !!! We went for a wedding and I can’t tell you how beautiful it was!!!! We will definitely be back again ! My only complaint is that the main buffet is not air conditioned therefore we didn’t eat in it ever !!! It was that hot !!! So over all this hotel gets a 9/10 !!!!!!!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: amazing but the food was not!

everything was great, people, rooms, ground, the only complaint is the food, it was not hot! it was only warm. and it was silly that we could only go to 3 al la carte!. buffet food was not good. disappointed in that, and the beaches were covered in seaweed, that might have been the weather though.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: A Great Time

This resort really cares about you and do their best to ensure you have every comfort offered. The rooms are clean. The scent menu nice and I appreciated the pillow menu. We had 2 fantastic butlers named Alex and Vera who were amazingly helpful. The grounds are gorgeous. The beaches are clean with a towel and drink service. I especially enjoyed the ocean in the relatively calm man made surf break. The transportation carts offered a valuable service and the evening restaraunts served delicious fo [... read more]od. We were extremely happy with the Baha’i Principe Akumal as our holiday destination and most definently will be back

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Beautiful resort!!

We had a fantastic stay! Rooms are very clean and fridge was stocked every day. Food was excellent & lots of different choices. Japanese restaurant was great. Pools were always clean and the service at the buffet, bars, lobby etc. was excellent. Would definitely go back.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Jamaican experience

Had a great time in Jamaica. Experienced everything it has to offer. Met lots of very nice people and eveyone was truly helpful. Soaked in all the views of the lush gardens, beautiful mountains and fantastic food. Absolutely an overall luxurious experience.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: What a Trip!

This resort left nothing of beauty, comfort, dining, and service untouched. We had such a great vacation. Everything you could ever want and more is available, always. So accommodating and created such a beautiful wedding ceremony for my friends. I’m coming back for sure!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Fantastic Trip

Resort was beautiful and our superior junior suite was perfect,the beds were so cozy although I wouldn't recommend garden view because of a main road close by. The restaurants and night life were ones to remember. The pools and grounds were in top shape and the staff were the friendliest I have ever encountered

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: very clean resort

resort was very clean food was amazing staff somewhat friendly however the locals that cruise the beach can be VERY disruptive and a nuisance-they bagger the guests and unfortunately the security does nothing to stop them! everything in this hotel was in slow motion...room service states upto 45 mins however it would take much much longer over 1 hour to come... breakfast was not available for early risers...I noticed a lot of the older guest just wondering til buffet would open last [... read more]ly...I had a $75.00 massage on the beach for 40mins which I paid for in cash($80.00American) I asked for receipt after payment and she told me the desk on check out will provide me with proof of purchase...I believed her! The masseuse billed it to my room anyway! I even tipped her $5.00 grrrr...but on check out morning I was delayed from getting on the bus on time, and the rest of the guests waited until the hotel was able to reach there staff (who was off of work) to confirm payment. I felt as though I had to prove I paid her and it caused me much distress. eventually the hotel apologized and stated that she was new and did not know to report cash...she stated that she believed I tipped her...I felt she tried to rob me and the hotel...in hindsight she asked many questions about my itinerary and felt like a victim however despite that I did have a lovely time

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Large resort

The grounds of the hotel are very beautiful and well kept. The room was nice and the bathroom was large. The food was okay. The beach had major seaweed on it and in the water. The resort was very clean.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great Resort

It was an amazing adventure to the Hotel it was clean beautiful on the inside rooms were great the views were great food atmosphere all over a great hotel clean beaches staff was friendly only bad part not alot of smoking areas

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: very nice resort

This resort was well run. clean. Friendly staff. pools were great. The beach was not great. It is man made. Too many rocks and too much seaweed for me. Others seemed to enjoy it. food was good at the buffet. We did not try the a la carte restaurants. The bus ride fro the airport was 90 minutes. too long for me but there is no option.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Great memories..

Very clean, not noisy or crazy...Lots of fun,new friends..We enjoyed are stay, no issues with food or beach at all. Fridge filled daily, we all enjoyed it all 3 couples..met some new friendships out of it also !

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Beautiful resort BUT go for the premium plus package

We booked expecting a premium package but were quite surprised when we had arrived and were endlessly turned away from buffets, denied drink request, asked to move to a different part of the beach (literally 6 feet away), were refused service at the cafe, and actually stopped on the trolley commuting from one lobby to another because we were wearing the dreaded “green bracelet”... it took two full days to find out the can’s and can nots of this resort. The beds were like sleeping on the [... read more] floor and the pillows were small and smelly... not a real 5 star luxury room ! But... the resort is grand and gorgeous, clean, well maintained... very beautiful! The beach is beautiful, the ala’ carts fantastic, sports bar is a great addition, poolside entertainment is fun. The language barrier is strong so communication was difficult. I would go back to this resort but only with a better package... the difference in the food is huge and the cheap Dominican alcohol gave me heartburn for a week. I assume the premium package would give me these extras and hopefully a more comfortable bed. Because of the recent changes to the resort if given the option we would have upgrade to a higher package.

Cayo Levantado Resort: Amazing Resort

I couldn't have asked for more! The hotel was beautiful and the staff were great too, especially, Emmanuela in charge for villa 26. Thank you for such a memorable time. I highly recommend this resort to anyone who wants to have a relaxing vacation.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: 5 Star Luxury

The Ambar renovations were all complete when we arrived Nov 9th and was only about 1/4 full as part of their 'soft opening' and our first visit to Dominican Republic. The Lux Bahai Principe Ambar's 534 Adult only rooms are part of the 5000 room Bahia Principe complex in Punta Cana. However; the design of the resort allows Ambar guests to feel very pampered and 'protected' from the rest of the Bahia resort. All 8 Ambar blocks have swim up pools on the ground floor rooms. The swim up pools  [... read more]offer privacy but are also shared with 7 other rooms. Each block had it own concierge. Warning: I would not want a room on the west side of the 4 blocks on the west side, as they face an ugly concrete wall that is about 4 stories high belonging to the resort next door. . The sandy beach and water were beautiful. The beach is deep but not that wide. So even though the resort was only 1/4 full you had to put a towel down at 600 am if you wanted chairs with shade in the 'front row' of the Ambar beach. However, if you did not need to be in the front row, there were always lots of chairs available at the beach and pool. Unlike the other resorts, the Bahia always had lots of guys raking any seaweed off the beach. We often 'gifted' these workers with the contents of our mini bar. The other resorts on the beach often had a lot of seaweed. The Ambar had beautiful grounds and a wonderful pool that was right beside the beach. We found all the staff, friendly and very helpful. We were pleasantly surprised to find more youngish guests form Argentina than Americans. :) My wife and I consider ourselves food lovers and found the food quality quite good. Caviar for breakfast anyone? None of our dinner reservations emailed 10 days prior to arrival had been set up. But the concierge in our Block was able to book our dinners the first day we arrived. The best meal was at the Limbo and we both liked the steak at the M.E.A.T. restaurant. Other than the LImbo I thought the food quality at the Buffet was as good and offered more variety than the a la cartes. Tuesday night is seafood night at the Buffet, which ran out of Lobster at about 745 pm. ( But some guests were grabbing 2 lobsters) During our stay we mainly drank the 'champagne' which was dry and only 5% alcohol. You could have the 'Champagne' delivered to the room at any time and it was at all the bars and restaurants. The house wines were unfortunately undrinkable. Which was surprising as they have a very pleasant and knowledgeable sommelier. We brought 7 bottles of wine with us and had no problems drinking these at the restaurant or buffet. They even offered an ice bucket for our whites. ( (However; I should mention we were lucky NOT to be a tourist to have our suitcases x-rayed when going thru local customs.) You could buy wine at the Restaurants/Buffet, but would have to pay $50US+ to get a bottle we can buy in Canada for $15 CDN. There is a nice Coffee shop beside the lobby where you could order really good espressos. cappuccinos etc. You can also order these coffees at the the Buffet from your waiter. The Wifi was quite fast in the room and lobby. Use Network 1SSID_V2 as it was faster than BahiaPricipleFreeWiFibyEurona. When waiting for the flight to return home from Punta Cana; be aware there are two free areas at the airport to wait. One is noisy and NOT air conditioned, the other, on the other-side of the food-stalls, has AC and is much quieter. Would we return to Bahia Ambar Punta Cana? -Definitely!! But we were impressed enough by Bahia Lux, we might check out another Bahia Lux resort first. Thanks so much to Tanya Smith at Trip Central for recommending another wonder vacation spot. We trust your judgment and will definitely book with you in the future.
