Great Family Vacation

Resort had all the amenities that a family would enjoy. Pool was huge and my granddaughters and their father were in the pool everyday, with a poolside bar for drinks. Beach waters were a little difficult to enter as there were small pebbles and then dips down about 2 feet, which made it a little difficult to walk back to shore. Water shoes recommended. Our rooms were side by side, and room was large, comfortable beds. Food too much to select from that would satisfy any pallet. Nightly  [... read more]entertainment was awesome!!!!

Amazing Resort

The grounds were so peaceful. I loved my morning walk through the grounds and the big walkways, lined with palm trees on either side. I especially loved walking the grounds at night where all the palm trees were lit up from the bottom. The lobby was beautiful and had plentiful amount of tables and chairs where you could sit and watch the entertainment or play a game of cards with a drink on hand. The public rest rooms were always maintained and clean. The dining rooms and the buffet were al [... read more]ways clean, cleanliness was top priority here, as soon as a guest left the table it was cleaned immediately. The pool was huge and plenty of space to find a chairs and room to swim. There was entertainment all day at the pool, and if you wanted to leave the pool there was a clean sandy beach with volleyball, soccer and plenty of chairs under the palm tree umbrellas. The beach is a little murky because of the sand that is always moving, but the water is clear so don't be fooled. It drops off quickly and goes down to 3' right away. Most of the time we spent either walking the beach or at the pool, not too much time in the ocean. The good thing about this beach is that it is in a bay and there are few waves and was mostly calm.

Bahia Principe LaRomana

Great location after a 80 minute ride from Punta Cana airport. Beautiful property, everything close by. Helpful and friendly staff, Buffet and the A La Carte restaurants were also very good. Pool by the beach was a hit with the swim up bar. The only drawback was the sea…(unfortunately a river runs into the bay and turns the water murky.) More like a lake. Of All in all, I would recommend this hotel, but not for the sea. Just being honest… Bill MacIntyre .

Awesome Resort

The Lobby is so spacious and open, bar tenders at the lobby bar were fast and super friendly, everyone was always happy and smiling. The buffet is really big with so much variety of food, Radaisy and her crew were so awesome and helpful with our 2 birthday celebrations. Jhongelin was always smiling and waited on us hand and foot never a dirty dish on the table or an empty coffee cup! The swim up bar had the best bartender, Luis Carmona. So happy, smiling, dancing and so fast with everyone's drin [... read more]ks

Beautiful resort

This report was amazing, beautiful beach, friendly staff. They are kind and welcoming.staff did their best to make your needs be met.I celebrated my Mom 65th birthday and they staff made a a memorable time especially Radaisy she was so helpful. For our breakfast every morning Jhongelin made sure we have everything and always checking up on us. For the pool bar our bartender was amazing Luis Carmona. He made sure we always have a drink in our hand

Great Holiday Getaway!

We really enjoyed the hotel. Definitely a bonus having the option of the adult side while still being able to enjoy all the amenities across the resort. The staff were great and really took care of our needs.

Loved this resort

This resort was very clean. The staff and entertainment crew were amazing!! There was always some sort of activity or game going on, cool dance lessons and fun bingo! Some of our favorite staff members included Genna and Mariano Carmelo from entertainment, Hector and Juan Carlos from the beach snack bar. Would definitely recommend this resort.

Mother Daughter Getaway

This was a special trip with just my daughter for some quality time together. We found the resort to be really relaxing and all the amenities allowed me to not worry about anything and to just enjoy my one on one time with her. The staff were quick to help when our air conditioning stopped working. They were happy to answer questions and quick with a smile. Our room was perfect. Bonus was a nesting bird in the palm tree outside our door. Got to see the baby two days before we left. We nev [... read more]er left the buffet hungry. Some different items between the daily basic staples were just enough to keep it interesting. We had some great laughs with the staff at the Italian restaurant. Our day trip Catalina Island was amazing. The tour group made sure we were safe and happy. Travelling with a 12 year old can in a foreign country made me a bit nervous but very quickly felt safe and comfortable there. Can't wait to go back. Maybe next time I'll bring my other daughter or husband.

Excepcentional Resort

Great hotel is located in a wonderful spacious green garden. Large swimming pools for adults and kids.Rooms are spacious and with loads of features. Excellent room service. Dinning services are amazing with a team of well trained personnel. Well maintained beach shoreline but sea water is merky due to river delta closeby.

Nice vacation

Nice location, the room were clean, the staff was friendly. Julito at the hibiscus bar was the best. The water for the shower was too cold. Never had a day with a warm shower. Some fish and meat were overcooked.(roasted salmon on its skin at el pescador and pollo a la parmesana at the Il Capriccio) Once our door was left open after room service. I liked that every day there was a theme night at the buffet. There’s only pepsi zero and 7up regular in the whole resort. It’s worse than p [... read more]epsi diet. No alcohol in the room fridge!!! Chair were available near the beach every day. Too bad the sea water was blurry and there were some jellyfish, the resort would be a 5 stars.

Non-stop noise

This was our first time staying at a resort, usually we explore a country independently. Trip central was super helpful and organized. The resort Bahia Precipe has beautiful buildins, gardens and pools, is well run and safe. The staff are professional, friendly, pleasant and helpful, the hotel's best asset. However, I am allergic to most of the food that was served and the resort did not seem able to accommodate food differences such as lactose intolerance and vegetarian diets. There was a lot o [... read more]f cross contamination between for example pork and other foods. There was entertainment every night. It was loud and mostly USA music, commercial and not authentic to the Dominican . We would have loved to attend a workshop in the first few days presenting Dominican culture, history, geography, economy and politics... We went on 2 off resort excursions where some of this information was presented by very knowledgeable guides (but with too much focus on Columbus and stops at cheap souvenir shops). Our main concern is the level of noise on the resort. It's almost impossible to get away from the noise. Loud music is constantly blasted from multiple locations simultaneously. Although a beautiful resort, the noise is why we will probably not visit this resort again.

Vacation

The only problem is the hot water, the rest is perfect. Very nice and helpful service, very clean and really wonderful greenery in the resort. Great appreciation for the fabulously colorful cakes. Thank you.

Beautiful Resort

The resort is nicely kept, good beach but not a very good access to the sea for the kids. A bit dissatisfied with the greyish colour of the water instead of the turquoise like in other Caribbean beaches. The food was great lots to choose from, staff very friendly. Overall good experience.

Great resort

As usual, rooms were spotless but dated and had very low water pressure in the shower which we were told was the entire resort. Food at main and beach buffets was excellent. Every night was a different theme and lots to choose from. Never a problem finding chairs either at the beach or by the pool. Lots of shade. Water in the ocean was murky due to the river close by. Not the blue you would normally expect. Lobby was massive with tons of places to sit and grab a coffee or a drink. Overal [... read more]l the resort was nice and we would go back.

NEVER AGAIN!

Over four decades and after visiting the Dominican Republic for at least 15 times, this particular "vacation" was the absolute worst my wife and I can remember. As elderly people with moderate habits, I was taken ill on our third day on site with severe diarrhea, had to consult the resort's resident doctor and spent -- besides US$330 -- the balance of our "vacation" taking anti-biotics, pills for fever and chills and pro-biotics. On the final night in the resort, my wife was taken ill by way o [... read more]f vomiting and diarrhea and travelled severely ill all the way back to Canada on an empty stomach since all she could consume without vomiting was water and pretzels. There is no question in our minds that the level of hygiene security in the kitchen and in the bars were lacking. NEVER AGAIN will we be staying at this or any other Bahia Principe resort. For that matter, I think we shall write off the DR as a destination.

OK RESORT

Overall was an ok vacation but pricey for what you get in my opinion. The food was only ok. Buffet was packed, line ups etc. Same food everyday. The low end liquor was horrible. Pop was flat, juice wasn’t juice was tang. Massive cockroaches in the room. And not sure if this was weather related but the beach water was brown. Couldn’t see the bottom of the ocean and I got stung by jellyfish ?. Ouch Tried to make the best of it as we were there a family wedding but don’t go in July way too hot ? [... read more] was over 40 everyday with the humidex. Pool was packed and very noisy! Very crowded at the resort. Over an hour drive from airport.

Bad resort. I don't recommend!

We stayed at the BahiaPrincipe Grand la Romana resort in Dominican from June 7 to June 14 and it was a bad experience. Initially, we were upset that it was impossible to swim in the sea. There are a lot of wasps on the beach. There is almost no entertainment for children, only one small pool and a playground that was often closed. The staff barely speaks English. Our air conditioner broke on the first night, but it was fixed the next day. When my four-year-old son stepped on a snake, we wer [... read more]e shocked. It was a miracle she didn't bite him. My son somehow jumped back very quickly and we were lucky. When I tried to find out what kind of snake it was, whether it was poisonous or not, and whether there were many of them here, they ignored me with smiles. Near the pool, someone took one of our towels, and when I came to the reception desk about this, the woman standing there in a rude and dissatisfied manner said that it was our responsibility to take care of the towel and wanted us to pay for it. But in the end, she was very dissatisfied and gave us a new card. In the bars, the bartenders also spoke almost no English and always had dissatisfied faces. We often had to wait a long time for our drink or sometimes were simply ignored. The day before departure, we went to the reception to find out when they would come for us, but there they told us that they didn’t know anything and it was our concern and they told us to find out for ourselves. As a result, on the day of departure, in a panic, we began to look for someone to take us to the airport and were ready to take a taxi, but thanks to Belboy, thank you very much, we found our driver. We spent a lot of nerves. And the worst thing is that our children, 4 and 2 years old, contracted scabies there. We had to immediately rush to the hospital upon arriving home. We will not recommend this hotel to anyone and will not go there again.

Family vacation

We had a good experience in this hotel, great food and amazing staff. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean and excellent service. Food was good and great value for money and service was attentive and efficient. Negative: jellyfish in the beach

Okay Resort

The resort is very clean and well kept. Housekeeping services for rooms was excellent. The major downfall of the resort was the food in the buffet Many of the food trays appeared to be brought out night after night Ie beef strips. One night turkey was being carved and served as a feature. It was all gone in 45 minutes and the server advised there was no more turkey available!!!!! Evrntually they brought out some chicken but even that was limited. Someone grossly underestimated the amount o [... read more]f turkey required when the resort was apparently nearly full. Thankfully they had pasta-pizza etc available every night. Overall the food was a disappointment compared to other resorts I have been to. Our room was directly opposite the lobby of the Boganville lobby which was a turn around point for the shuttles being operated by the e hotel. Everytime they backed up the reverse alarm would start beeping which sounded like an alarm clock going off No sleep for the first two nights After complaining strenuously I finally got to speak to the person who supervised the shuttles and he was able to quiet them during the night but they would start up at 7 AM. Would have been nice to sleep in a bit while on holidays. MY ADVICE. Avoid building o 32
