Great resort!

The hotel room was very spacious and clean. The fridge was regularly stocked and towels replenished. The grounds were well kept. The buffet was very good and there was a nice variety of Ala Cartes that we could book pre-trip.

Wonderful resort

The place is very luxurious from beginning to end. The location on south shore is one of the best things about it. A great beach area. The buffet is quite good but beware that all buffets suffer the same hum-drum-ness. The ala carte restaurants are tremendous but book as soon as you can, they get booked up.

Wonderful time

This hotel was everything we could imagine. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff and service were exceptional. My wife is in a wheelchair and this is one of the most accessible resorts we have been to.

Absolutely lovely

Great staff, clean grounds, rooms were good. Nothing to complain about ? Not the place for singles. Lots of hot water. At times chairs were a bit of a challenge to find. Beach was fine sadly too many jelly fish in the water.

Definitely a 5 star resort!

This resort explefies a 5 star experience; with its attention to detail in all services provided. From the gourmet food, and the diversity of the menu, to the amazing waiting staff, pool entertainment staff, and helpful front desk staff. The landscape, rooms, pools, beach and bars were all super clean and picturesque.

Amazing Resort!

We love this resort, we have been there 3 times just returned this past week and plan to go back next January and extending our stay to 10 days or 2 weeks. It's a beautiful boutique style resort, small everything close is close by, the rooms, restaurants, two pools and beach. The food is amazing at the a la cartes and buffet with lots of choice and all delicious. It's well kept up and staff are constantly cleaning around the resort. The ocean isn't crystal clear but don't let deter you it's very [... read more] calm as it's in a bay, no big waves or undertow. We love it there.

Simple, Clean, Friendly Resort

The resort is simple, clean and the staff are attentive and helpful. The grounds and rooms are well maintained as well as the pool and beach areas. We have come to this resort twice now just for it's simplicity. The food selection is good, we never had a concern and the freshness and using local products is cool.

A perfect holiday

Loved this hotel… it was our second visit there. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Golf was a bit expensive but our golfers enjoyed the course. Check in was terrible! It was a full hour and a half before we were checked in and there were only 6 people on our shuttle. Spent a lot of time at the quiet pool which was perfect for our group. We learned after we arrived there that we could have booked our a La carte restaurants before we left home. That would have been [... read more] helpful to know! There was NO WestJet rep available at any time for us. We had to figure out getting to airport on our own with some help from the staff at guest experience.

Great resort!

The hotel was clean, well maintained and kept. The staff work super hard, they are very friendly and always willing to help. There was a decent amount of food options if you don’t have dietary restrictions (e.g., meat or dairy). Because I have a meat and dairy allergy the food was very challenging for me. Although they had options for me to eat they did not separate veggie options from the meat or dairy products. This resulted in tongs being used in the dairy and meat products. Due to my allergi [... read more]es I had to avoid most dishes on the menu. When the chefs were available they would prepare something special for me in the kitchen which I was always grateful for. With so many allergies around it would be safer to separate certain products with the correct labels for guests.

Great Solo Trip

This was my first solo trip and this location was perfect. I was looking for a nice quiet and relaxing vacation and Bouganville checked all these boxes. Smaller resort, not to busy. Highly recommend for someone looking a chill vacation, not much of a night life. This is the oldest of the Bahia's on the island so it doe not have the best beach but it is well maintained. For breakfast I recommend Popping over to the La Romana side for the buffet as it is bigger and had more options. But for lu [... read more]nch and dinner there are 2 buffets the Bouganville side the one in the Lobby being the larger of the 2.

Top Tier Resort!

There was nothing to want for. The food was fantastic, fresh, and the drinks were plentiful. The specialty restaurants were outstanding. The staff were very friendly and attentive. One of my best vacations.

Very nice vacation

The hotel buildings and landscaping are quite lovely. The food was very good especially the French gournet restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was large and quite comfortable. The pools were clean and picturesque. Most days there were open seats at the pools in the morning but only a few later in the day. The beach was very nice but the water was cloudy due to the nearby river flow so not great for snorkelling unless you were at the east end of the bay where the water w [... read more]as clearer. There were lots of varied fish there although the bottom was not particularly pretty. Overall, we had a very nice vacation and would definitely consider returning again. Here are a couple of points that would have made our vacation even better: 1. Housekeeping was occasionally inconsistent. The room was not cleaned on one day and cleaned twice on another day. 2. The restaurants had small signs in English and Spanish to identify the foods. The problem was that, quite often, they were not indicating the correct food where they were placed or indicated two things but only one was at that location. Some things had no sign at all. It would help if this was more consistent and accurate. 3. The special restaurant reservations were available to people who knew before the start of the vacation so some restaurants were fully booked for the week when we arrived. Those who did not know about the early booking were left with limited choices. It would be fairer if the booking was only available to people starting when they check-in physically to the hotel.

Paradise

My boyfriend and I had never been to the Dominican Republic. We had the most unbelievable experience at the Bahia Principe. The staff are unbelievable, the rooms and resort spotless and the food was incredible. Daily entertainment pool side and nightly entertainment make this the perfect resort.

Excellent resort and staff!

From the moment we stepped into the lobby, the atmosphere felt luxurious. The food was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. While the beach could have been a bit clearer, overall it was a fantastic trip, and we would absolutely return.

Best resort so far...

We were extremely happy with our choice for this resort. The staff was nice and helpful, the room was very clean and elegant, entertainment was fun and diverse, the food at buffet, a la carte and snack bar was amazing...everything in walking distance

Beautiful resort, incredible staff!

I loved my stay here. The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean, beautiful amenities and amazing beach! The food was fantastic. Lots of fun activities during the day and the evening too. I can’t wait to come back!

Amazing place

Hotel was fabulous Grounds well kept, Rooms were great, Food was good Great drinks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&!!

Great resort

We loved the adults only side of the resort. The food has a variety and the rooms were super clean. Would highly recommend. I’m not sure the beach was the best but looked nice. I prefer the pool area anyway. The quiet pool was lovely and the main pool was a lot of fun. Nice resort, bartenders at quiet pool were amazing. Staff on the a la carte were great.

Excellent resort

The resort was beyond our expectations. The food was amazing, the room was bright and comfortable and kept clean every day. The service was top notch. The staff really make you feel welcome. We would definitely like to go again, but not in September, it was over 30 degrees every day.

Not truly Adults only

The hotel was nice however it was falsely advertised as adults only. There was a portion of the resort which was ‘adults only’ however kids were still accessing the beach where the adults only part was. The main dining area was also shared with families and kids. I requested something nice be done via email, as I was there to celebrate a birthday - nothing was done. The beach wasn’t the greatest either. Having said that the staff there were very nice and always polite. The housekeeping, entertai [... read more]nment staff and over all everyone was absolutely lovely. It’s unfortunate but I would not return.
