Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Great Resort

The Grand Bahia Principe is a beautiful hotel well maintain and great services. The A la carte restaurants is very good. Thanks to everyone for the good services that made our stay more enjoyable. I will recommend this hotel.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great as always

Nancy Anne: This was my 7th visit to this resort and it was great as always. The staff were very friendly, the grounds and beach area were beautifully maintained and food was amazing. Lina: This was my first visit to an all inclusive resort and I can’t wait to return. The place was absolutely beautiful and pictures do not do the resort justice. The staff were super friendly and some even remembered my name. I loved the beach with all the palm trees and bushes. There was no shortage of foo [... read more]d. The meals were so good and I enjoyed trying new foods daily. Nancy Anne told me this was her “Happy place” and I can see why. Thanks for a great vacation.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Great Beach,Good Resort, Amenities lacking. 3.5/5 Star Resort, not 5 or 4 star.

Pros: -Friendly Staff and efficient -ViP upgrade (25 USD/day/pp) is worth it for the Adults only part of pool and beach and room service and snack bar and pool bar and safe key and lounge bar and snacks and small minibar in room and fast WiFi. -Large rooms, lack decor and seem "tired". Comfortable beds. Good bluetooth speaker in the room with USB ports. Incense provided in rooms. Ensure tipping daily though for best room prep daily. -In room minibar was adequate with daily tipping Cons:  [... read more]-Towel service often runs out of clean beach towels. Only one towel per person permitted. -About 4 loungers in the VIP adults only part of the beach (mattresses with part shade) need to be squatted for at 06:00 in the A.M. with your towel. People hold them all day long with their towels. Its a "towel game". -Buffet can be underwhelming at times. -Billed as " Adults Only " resort but only the VIP areas are adults only. -Wifi is 10$/day if not with VIP. The free one is too slow. -Restaurants are very underwhelming. Limited free alcohol selections at supper meals are avalaible, as they prefer you order from the various bottles of wine available for Cash purchase outside of all-inclusive. Only the ViP restaurant was good enough. -Gift shops have limited selections of pharmaceuticals that are sold, along with Sunscreen, at 10 times the price of the same items in the shopping centers in town. -Electrical outlets in room use american style two-prong 110v system, but cannot plug in 3-pronged US electrical plugs (such as my laptop.) due to missing ground hole. -The GYM facility was very bad. One functioning treadmill with limited weight machines and difficult towel availability. -The use of table tennis paddles and various other recreational items on the beach required cash deposits. -Room service menu was limited. Sometimes hours of meals were not respected (menu states breakfast 'til 11am, but when you call at 10:40am they refuse breakfast and suggest you order the lunch items. -No hair conditioner provided, just shampoo and soap provided. -Room keys often de-magnetized requiring unplanned 20-minute walks back to the front desk to reset the cards every 48hrs or so. -Room toilets were located close to the beds so all body noises are heard by all in the room... -Room TV channels only has 3-4 english channels with no possibility for streaming or VOD or Netflix even if you bring a streaming HDMI device due to wifi firewalls. -Air-conditioning was not optimal in the top floors, and ceiling fan only worked at medium speed. -Single, not double, occupancy jacuzzi in the room. -Clothes dry racks not available in most rooms with stickers reminding everyone NOT to hang dry item onto the balcony rails everywhere.

Whala Bayahibe: good resort

Problem with long chairs not enough, people reserve them before 6 am. Safe to pay (34$/2 weeks). Public beach nice, long chair to pay 10$/day.The best of resort are pools with salty water. Entertainment very poor.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Great

I enjoyed it, despite what many others had to say.. staff were nice.. entertainment was pretty good.. food was decent. yes water was murky directly on the resort but if you walk further down. its completely clear waters and the area is even quieter and nicer..

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Lovely resort

Love everything about this resort. Second stay there and everything was as good as the first time. The rooms are clean, staff friendly and courteous. The food is well prepared and they offer a great variety of items on the buffet. The specialty a la carte options are wonderful especially the Italian one. The portions are plentiful and always have a vegetarian option. If I had one complaint that would be not enough shade around the pools. To get a shaded area you had to get up by 5:30 a.m and [... read more] go and put a towel on your chair. That takes away from the rest and relaxation you may have been hoping for.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: AWESOME VACATION SPOT!

We just spent our 2nd vacation at Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville and had a wonderful time! The hotel was clean, the staff friendly and the food was good! Would definitely recommend this hotel! It even has a casino (albiet, small - but it's there and lots of fun!) 2 wonderful pools - a quite one and a PARTY one! If you go, be sure to wander over to the infinity pool located along the beach. It's beautiful.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Horrible experience

Grounds were amazing...service was only for the young cute girls...and watch out for the wet floors under the air ducts in front of your bedroom door with no signs...and the buffet was horrible...thank goodness for the Japanese restaurant

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Worst resort I've ever been to

I've been to quite a few resorts in th Caribbean and this was the worst I've ever been to. Rooms were clean. Not enough staff in buffet area. 1 to 50 ratio approximately. Most meals were finished before water was served. First day food was good but went downhill from there. Experienced one part cooked burger in the snack bar. 24 bar was slow. Most nights standing in line for at least 10 minutes. Lots of good things about resort but reviews are about the bad parts. Lots of people that I talked  [... read more]to said they were repeat customers. Not sure why but they have their opinions also

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Beautiful Grounds

Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville was a dream come true. The first impression does not lie. Grounds and common areas are expansive and excellently well kept. Check-in was efficient. As our group had booked 3 rooms, as I had just had knee surgery, they were able to commendate my in changing rooms within our group so I could have a first floor room. The rooms were very clean, my only complaint was that the mattress was too hard for my liking. The bar fridge was well stocked and there was no hass [... read more]le to get it restocked when needed. The buffet restaurants had a variety items, especially if you are fish lover. The specialty restaurants did not fail to impress us. Thanks to my butler Carlos, we were able to surprise 2 people in our party with decorated rooms and Birthday cake, which was for our very reason we went on vacation. The pool areas were clean and the bar staff were attentive, the animation team was friendly and had no problem to get group participation. I had never seen exercises bikes that go into the pool, but it was fun. The only problem in the pool areas was lack of shade or the ability to get a shaded area unless you were up at the crack of dawn. i thank you for very enjoyable holiday.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Nice vacation at an average hotel

We had a good week here but would probably choose a higher end hotel the next time. Beach was not the clear crystal blue waters we expected, but once you were over that we enjoyed it. Although there are signs all over not to save huts and chairs, they are reserved by inconsiderate people, who seem to save their spots but not show up until hours later. No beach or pool service. We always tipped the staff but noticed that Unless you tip, you won’t get the best service. Buffet was good with [... read more] enough variety. We went to all 3 a la Carter’s, the Italian was the best. Not just for food, but for excellent , attentive and friendly service. The other 2 a la cartes seemed in a hurry to get us out, not friendly and menu was limited. Entertainment was pretty good, excellent beach party. Big issue was that the lobby bar would shut down at 11pm and the lights were all shut off. You had to sit in the dark to finish your drink. And if you wanted to stay up, it was either go back to your room or go to the disco. This part was very disappointing as it would have been nice to sit in lobby area, enjoy time with friends and have a few drinks. Rooms were ok. Definitely need a makeover. All plug outlets were broken, so it was hard to use coffee machine, watch tv, iron or plug in your phone charger. There is no hot water... everyday was a lukewarm shower. Tip your maid and you’ll get good service. We had enough towels everyday. We did pay extra for the royal golden service. This gave us a separate check in and designated staff to deal with if we had issues. Jose from Air Transat and Elisabeth from the hotel were wonderful!! There was premium alcohol here which we drank because i’m pretty sure the drinks were watered down. A lot of people noticed this. Stick with wine or beer. The power went out everyday , sometimes a few times day but only for a minute. Not sure why this occurred, but never longer than a few minutes. Overall we made the best of our time , room to improve but a nice vacation. Next time, we will choose a higher end property.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Beautiful resort

The grounds were beautiful..well kept. The food was good..and great service..The Best was they finally are making The Ceasar!!!. The staff were all very friendly..our room was great. And well stocked every day.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Wonderful Resort

Hotel was very clean and staff was accommodating. If there was an issue they took care of it quickly. The French restaurant was amazing, although the Italian was a bit disappointing, it was good but was expecting better. The buffet was very good although almost the same items.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Fabulous Resort

We were at the Bahia Principe Bouganville in April 2019. We absolutely loved this resort. It's Beautiful, clean and well maintained. The landscapes are gorgeous with mature trees and beautiful plants and flowers, the beach was fantastic. They have a 5 star service and the food was amazing. We'll definitely go back.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Not good at all for a Grand Bahia

This is the third Bahia i have went to and by far the worse . services was terrible day one TV and Air con not working day 2 no hot water called 3 times to get some one to come fix it took them 3 hours and my last call yelling at them because they kept lying to me saying someone is on there way Power goes out every day at least twice .Food was same every day no change . will never go back and will tell everyone i know never to go there

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: The Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville is a jewel of a resort near La Romana in the Dominican Republic!

We were very impressed by the gardens, walks and pools across the resort and its neighbouring Bahia Principe resort to which we had access. One of the many fine restaurants was the Don Pablo serving French cuisine, which was our favourite.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Super clean & friendly resort

The resort was small but had lots of chairs by the pool. No rush to get up early to save a chair. Always clean everywhere in the resort and I felt safe at all times. The staff was so helpful and friendly- especially Ramonsito in the restaurant. I would go back to this resort anytime.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Lovely resort

This is a very nice hotel, friendly staff, very clean. I was with royal golden, worth the upgrade fee. Room right on the beach. Would definitely go back. Ride to the airport and back is close, checkin and check out was easy. Getting the right room a little frustrating but just keep insisting

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: A great spot

Awesome food...super clean and perfect attention to detail...drinks were cold and the sun was hot...rooms were spotless. Staff were always available and the room service was fast and a nice touch..would definitely go back to this resort

The hotel was clean and I mean clean ! The workers were outstanding in their different duties they had, from the hostess at the restaurants to the bartenders to the entertainment groups - everyone was friendly always smiling and always available to you when you needed them.
