Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Great holiday

My wife and I had a great two week trip to Bahia Principe La Romana. Everything was amazing and our agent Jennifer Brown made sure it was easy and worry free . The food and service was outstanding all around. My only issue was the beach water is not clear like Punta Cana it is murky due to a nearby river flowing into the ocean. The beach was great for walking and just relaxing . It was my second visit to this resort and we really enjoyed our holiday.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing resort

I thought the hotel was very clean and the staff were very friendly, kind and dedicated to the well being of how their guests were. The entertainment staff were 10/10, with their enthusiasm, excitement and dedication to make people laugh, play silly games and have the best vacation. As with many reviews the beach area was a huge disappointment and the water was murky. The hotel rooms could use some upgrading but then again, youre only in them to sleep, shower, get ready for the day/ni [... read more]ght and baddabing baddaboom. I felt the entertainment pool area was great but I do think the bar over by the tiny ankle deep pool is silly because that area has very little people and with those who don't want to swim were regularly seen walking over to that bar for a drink. If the swim up bar had bar area at the back so that people could walk up to it for a drink I think that would be great but overall the drinks were cold, the sun was hot and we had the best vacation. The entertainment pool was also great for people watching. There are a lot of characters out there lol. We met some really great people from near our home town which also made it fantastic.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing facilities

Very clean, staff very friendly. Pools well maintained, beach area cleaned morning. Room was good, fridge leaked but worked. Disappointing part was we trouble booking restaurants, all booked. Unable to book in advance but when we tried booking when we arrived they were all full. Manager got involved and got us into the 3 on our part of the resort.

HM Alma De Bayahibe Hotel: A very pleasant surprise!!

We booked this resort after scanning through dozens of reviews on various places in DR. We were intrigued by the saltwater infinity pools and the fact that you could jump directly into the ocean a mere few steps from the pools. The resort is small and compact. Everything is a few minutes walk from your room. Rooms were nice, beds comfy. No hassles to find spots in the shade when the hot April sun was a bit too intense. Buffets were well stocked with fresh fruit, hot and cold choices of various [... read more] meats, fish, salads and desserts. The America Food truck was open daily with typical food truck snacks and fries. The reception staff go out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. I would recommend this resort to anyone wanting a quiet adult only vacation this is the place! Our first time to Dominican Republic. Loved this place!!

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Clean and friendly resort

This resort was just the right size for us. It was extremely clean and staff were very friendly. The rooms could stand to be modernized but for the amount of time spent in a room, they were good. The food was great and we had no issues reserving the a la cartes. I would return to this resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Murky water

Everything at the hotel was great except the ocean water was very murky. The water was not clear. We swam for the first 3 days in the ocean even though the water was very cloudy. Then, a river nearby dumped very brown water into the ocean and the water was even darker. This was very disappointing. Also, there was jelly fish on the beach and several guests got stung badly.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Perfect for our needs

We went here in April 2026, and found it was close to perfect for our needs. this resort is not the biggest or the the best, but at the price point it was perfect for us, meaning it was large enough and laid back enough to meet our desires everyday. If we wanted the beach party crowd we could find it, if we wanted a very quiet pool area we could find it. If we wanted very good food we could get it in a la carts restaurants , if buffet was enough for us we found it better than most. There [... read more] was enough of an entertainment area without being an all night party. Staff was ALL very polite and professional. We did know ahead of time that the beach wasn't the best in D.R. as the water isn't the clearest, but there was plenty of shade areas at any point all day and everything on the beach was clean and tidy.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Very good

Very nice green areas, nice pools and clean, very clean hotel all around, entertainment was very good, food was amazing, all the staff members were great. I will definitely recommend this hotel. Me and my wife had a great time.

Dreams La Romana: Great location

The hotel was very enjoyable. There was easy and convenient access to all amenities. Landscaping was beautiful, and the amount of care was obvious. There was a variety of eating/dining options and easy and tasty snack options.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Beautiful resort with food handling problems

The resort itself is very beautiful and clean. The pools were always clean and inviting. Our room was also very lovely. our problems begin with a severe sickness after eating at the Portofino restaurant. I had shrimp on my Caesar salad and it was very ill the next day.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Bahir Resort

The resort was beautiful but the rooms were dated and we never had hot water in our room. The beach was lovely and the food was good. The staff were amazing they were happy, helpful and kind. The food was good and the pool was nice and large

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great Resort

Staff were great especially bell boys 10/10. Choice of restaurants, bars, food were plentiful all bookable ahead of arrival but none looked full even when the reservation shows full. Plenty off shade near the beach usually with free loungers but the only downside was murky ocean water due to nearby river outlets.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Very good resort

Great experience. Entertainment was top notch. Caramelo was 100% in everything. Very entertaining, social, engaging, and great energy. He kept the holiday spirit up for everyone. He definitely made the experience a better one.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing food

This is an amazing resort. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had a 2 week stay but unfortunately I ended up in the hospital the second week with a pneumonia. We received calls from the staff to inquire how we were. The food at this place is outstanding, the buffets we overwhelming, we had the option to book for dinner at a couple of restaurants, but never bothered.

HM Alma De Bayahibe Hotel: Our amazing holiday

This resort is beautiful. Right on the water. There is no beach, but honestly you don't need one here. 3 large salt water pools, a hot tub and a large fresh water pool makes you not miss the beach. Lots of beach chairs to choose from. The main buffet offers lots of variety, but it needs organization. There is little to no service. It's pretty much self serve for everything.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Beautiful and friendly

I was very impressed with Bahia Principe Grand La Romana. What a well kept clean beautiful resort. From lobby to dining to the rooms! We had hot water every day and internet was better then mine at home, even on the beach most times. I dont swim in the ocean but the beach was clean and nice. Pool was large and always clean. Staff were always friendly and the shows at night were enjoyable.. most importantly though, i ALWAYS felt safe!

I can’t emphasize enough about the quality of the staff and food was always good -Angela

HM Alma De Bayahibe Hotel: Beautiful Resort with Friendly Staff!

The HM Alma de Bayahibe is a fabulous resort with the friendliest staff! The buffet restaurant offered variety and delicious hot fare every meal, plus the Dominican and Italian à la carte experiences were fantastic! The buffet offers health conscious options and decadent opportunities as well. This resort is not beach front but the man made beach is absolutely beautiful! There are plenty of loungers but if you want or need a palapa be prepared to rise early to reserve it by putting towels on [... read more] the loungers underneath it. There is a free shuttle service from the resort to the local public beach just a short ride away. At this beach you can rent 2 loungers and an umbrella for approximately $17US. This resort has 4 saltwater pools and a lovely freshwater pool surrounded by shaded beds but again you must rise early to reserve those with a towel. The animation team is lively and works hard to engage guests in various activities so you can choose to participate or not. There is a food truck located on one side of the man made beach offering delicious burgers, wraps, fish & chips, chicken wings and more. On the other side there is a snack bar with a wide variety of food including pizza, chicken, shish kebabs, fruit cups and more. You will not go hungry at this resort!! They offer a bit of entertainment some nights which was quite good but the resort isn’t really set up for this so seating is very limited. Bar service is excellent and all close at 11PM so the nights are generally quite quiet. If you want to party hard this is not the place to go but if you want to relax it is a good choice. The staff are definitely friendly if you remember that you get what you give… speak a little Spanish and ask them how they are… it is obviously appreciated by them. This resort has a few kitties roaming around in the evening but they don’t bother you. We found them to be sweet and friendly. Overall this is a lovely resort with spacious rooms, hot water, gorgeous surroundings, friendly staff and delicious food and drink. You can’t ask for more!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Good resort

The resort is situated in the well maintained tropical garden. This is the most outstanding feature of the resort. The colonial architecture of buildings naturally fits it. Rooms look dated, but kept clean. The eating areas are a bit tight. Thus it is a good idea to avoid rush times. The beach is nice. Plenty of sunbeds and shady areas. No need to play a reservation game here. Not the same at the pools. While there is less problem finding a sunbed at the bigger pool, the sunbeds/umbrellas at  [... read more]the quiet pool are usually all taken by 7-7:30 Signs against reservation are ignored. The most disappointing thing is the water at the beach. The beach is in a small bay. The water in the bay is not transparent. Zero visibility. Thus no desire to swim. The pull is preferred. I wish our flight were to La Romana. There were no such flights from our town. The flight to Punta Cana resulted in the long transfer from/to the airport

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Fantastic Resort

As a older couple with limited mobility we requested and got a centrally located room making our stay top quality. Great food. Two pools, one for the "party people" and the other a lovely quiet pool. Both with swim up bars and round pool waitress service. Room was lovely and the staff were friendly and efficient. Overall a great holiday.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Nice Resort with a Jelly fish filled swim area, disappointing beach

We booked an Oceanfront Superior room& had to relocate due to a weird sewer smell. Our new room was fine& had great views. Resort is well appointed, nice lobby & great service in all areas. The do require additional servers in the lobby during the evening we would wait for a long time, then eventually go to bar to get our own beverages. The Caribbean Water at this resort is not Blue clear water it is murky brown & full of jellyfish both in water & on the shoreline, due to the nearby river flowi [... read more]ng in, shoreline has a wide deep shelf upon entry, so no swimming here. We had to walk to the end of the far Bay to find a small swimmable area at Corale Beach. No service on Beach, unless in Privilege , but beach bar was close by& provided a good service. Pool is large, loud, but is clean. Lots of loungers to use on the wide beach sitting area. Rooms were clean, shower/bath dated with low water pressure & only lukewarm water throughout the 10 days. Food is very good, in all areas, the inclusive Red& White Wine offered was from Spain, it was poor quality, of any wines offered at an all inclusive. We would not return due to the Beach conditions
