Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Wonderful Holiday!

Totally enjoyed our vacation. Resort clean, excellent food, excellent people. Only down fall was the internet, possibly better instruction. Reception was good, but no info given. Example,we got to the lunch buffet on day of arrival, and waited to be seated, as this is what we were used to from previous vacations. At this resort you seat yourself. Was not informed of this. Other than that, it was an incredible holiday.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing Resort

This was a fantastic choice. Rooms were very clean as are the grounds and washrooms. Loved it all. The staff work so hard to ensure your trip is enjoyable and the beaches are beautiful beyond words. One suggestion is to allow yourself more time to get through the airport. 3 hours was not enough.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: A beautiful resort

Beautiful resort, with beautiful kept grounds. Three big pools, a lot of activities for small children. Good food, and great a la carte restaurants. Nice lobby upon arrival. We had a problem with our room and the next day we were switched to another with no problem.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: very good resort

excellent service, nice personal contact, food No1 and great accommodation . Only bad mark is for the fact that twice in a raw we had seaweeds. This is our 3 rd time visit in Grand Bahia Coba and twice in Grand Bahia Jamaica. Simply we like Grand Bahia Principe. I love to run on the beach (It was almost not possible because seaweeds ). We most of time spent at pool.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Nice Resort

Very well kept resort. Pleased with the quality of the shows, food and service. Location is a bit far from the airport, but the bus was fairly comfortable. We would recommend this resort to others. The price was reasonable and the value is what we had expected.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Nice Resort

This is a nice resort. Older. It could use some updating, but they have done a good job at keeping up with it. The food was good, with a new theme (i.e Italian/Mexican) everynight with a signature cocktail. The grounds are nice, well kept. The beach is also nice, however the large floating barriers in the water ruins the view and atmosphere. Stuck to the pool. Also an hour an a half to two hour bus ride was not told to us prior to arrival.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Nice place.

This is a beautiful clean resort.The food is pretty good. The brazilian a la carte was great. The service was good. Lacking in emuntrtainment. Beautiful long beach to walk.Must have been march break for quebec. Alot of french families. A lot of young children. Its our second time to el potillio. Ithink we will try somewhere else .

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: I will go next year for a third time

This is our second time at the Bahia Principe. The first time we stayed at the Tulum part of the resort and this year we stayed at the Coba part. The entire resort is beautiful. The grounds are meticulously landscaped, the myriad of pools and Jacuzzi areas are lovely. The public rest rooms are ample and spotless, not to mention attractive. The staff are friendly, not pushy like is some other areas of the Caribbean. The rooms are clean and spacious and nicely decorated. The eight a la cart [... read more]e restaurants have fabulous cuisine. It is a large resort but the frequent electric trams take you to where you want to go in a matter of minutes. You can walk as well but the trams are very convenient. This resort is located near the Maya ruins in Tulum a 15 minute drive away. There is a large children's pool with slides and water fountains and the children we saw there looked like they were having a ball. This is a 5 star resort. The beaches along the Mayan Riviera have been suffering from an abundance of seaweed but workers kept busy hauling it away. Can't help mother nature.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: great resort

hotel and rooms and grounds were fabulous. beach was nice you could walk quite far both direction from the resort. only down fall ocean was not crystal clear like other Dominican spots we have been too. It was an hour and a half drive from Punta cana air port.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Relaxing Stay

This hotel was on of the better places I have stayed in Punta Cana...my room was clean and roomie...the grounds were beautiful with lots of space in the pool area...my only complaint was the food was the same at the buffets..day or nite....i didnt see where there was a theme for each day...the a la carts were delish and accommodated me because i have a Gluten allergy BUT not enough english speaking workers!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Wonderful resort, excellent pampering with just a few quibbles

This hotel had stellar reviews, and the encouragement of our travel agent, Nicolle, was what we needed to book. We were very, very happy with this trip and the resort. The resort is absolutely lovely, and as it's in a complex with several other resorts, we often remarked how much prettier the landscaping and grounds and layout were at the Sian Ka'an than the other resorts. You feel like you're in a manicured jungle. The facilities were lovely. The a la carte dining at Frutos de la Mar and [... read more] Alux was INCREDIBLE. The Maiko restaurant was absolutely abysmal, as was all their sushi and Japanese cuisine at the buffet (you can find my Maiko review on TripAdvisor). Overall, we really enjoyed the buffet, though the food was noticeably better the first week than the second. There is a significant lack of Mexican food on offer (just a few dishes except on Mexican night) and we would have loved to see more. We found the beds firm but comfortable. There are some quirks in some of the rooms -- our first room had a bathroom door that wouldn't stay open and the gap between the double beds that they make up into a king was very humpy. We moved to a ground floor room a third of the way into our stay, and the bed was exponentially more comfy and the bathroom door stayed open just fine. Water takes a while to warm up -- not a big deal. The pools were always clean, though not heated (not that you need a heated pool when it's 30c outside). We enjoyed the pool by the Cenote snack bar best, and could usually find two lounge chairs under the tree canopy so we weren't fried by the sun all day. It was relaxing, and Martha was quick to bring us drinks as we needed them. The food at Cenote was surprisingly good, and better tasting than room service, so we often went there at night instead of ordering in. Fun to watch the Iguanas fight over a dropped tortilla chip. The ocean was beautiful, and we really liked the infinity pool, though it was very noisy there. We like a more zen experience. The pool by the sushi bar is very secluded and often quiet, if that's more your speed. As for the shuttle to the beach, we didn't hate it, but it sometimes was more shlepping than we had energy for, so that's why we ended up at the pool most days. We found the Hacienda ridiculously touristy, but also handy for snack purchases (go to the pharmacy to buy snacks at local prices vs resort prices) and the souvenirs we wanted to bring home. We didn't spend time there at night. Overall, we found the resort staff to be charming and friendly and accommodating, the rooms comfy and cool, the location beautiful, and the food mostly good to occasionally excellent (and rarely bleh). We would recommend this hotel.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Great place!

This was our 2nd visit at this resort and all I can say is amazing. The staff are friendly, and the accommodations,food and drinks all great. The entertainment was different from our last visit which was nice. There is no question that we will be back!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing time

Had a fantastic time at our resort luxury Bahia principe ambar green! Food was great the grounds where kept continuously clean. The staff where great! Our favourite where Black Angel with his entertainment and Nonyo as our waiter at the buffet every day!! Thanks ambar green for the great week! Till the next time!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Very Lovely Resort

Very Lovely Resort Very Lovely kept gardens and very tidy around the resort and room Very Friendly staff!! Enjoyed being able to relax and if need be find a quiet spot Excellent Beach Food choices are repetitive at the buffet and items that should be "hot" are "cold" Other than that a Good Choice and Good Value for a Resort to go to in Punta Cana Food that should have been served hot was "cold" Found the lunch Buffet(s) very repetitive The food that should have been hot was eithe [... read more]r luke warm or "cold" Al La Carte Restaurants were very good Don't like to have to play the Lounge Chair Game I.e. get up early to place a item on a lounge chair to reserve it!! Twice during our stay someone did this on lounge chairs at the beach and for the entire day they never used them??! I think that this practice should be limited and if after at least 1hour to 1.5 hours if not used the items should be removed and free up the chair Very Lovely kept gardens and very tidy around the resort and room Very Friendly staff!! Enjoyed being able to relax and if need be find a quiet spot

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Amazing resort

this resort is amazing, the staff can never do enough for you, the entertainment is the best, day and evening. The resort is clean the staff seam to have a lot of pride in their resort. the rooms are clean, the maid changed our towels every morning and made our bed, in the evening another maid would bring more fresh towels and turn down our bed, now that is being spoiled in my book..

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: amazing resort

This resort is one of the best resorts we have ever been to. The grounds are beautiful.. you can enjoy walking around admiring the beautiful colors. Everything is very well trimmed and taken care of.. the staff works really hard at making sure the grounds are free of debris. very clean. The buffet is super good.. The Alux is a fantastic a la carte restaurant. Probably the best well done steak I've ever had.. better than the Keg! We actually cancelled other reservations because the buffet w [... read more]as excellent. there was no need to leave the resort.. but its nice to have to option of going to other resorts.. The trolley is fun.. you get to meet new people and visit the other resorts.. and they are always there.. never have to wait long.. the drivers are quite pleasant. The beach however is not the best unless you're at the adults only beach.. which we were.. there is a lot of sea weed on the beach but they have someone clearing it constantly. The staff is excellent..from the lobby staff to the activity crew .. everyone is there to please you.. if you have any complaints they do their very best to get it rectified right away. This resort if very quiet ... not for groups of people who want to party hard.. The drinks were good but they should carry more premium drinks. Laura is fantastic!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Had a great time!

I loved this resort and would definately recommend this for everyone. We went to this resort with 4 other couples. We had all booked the royal golden package. We loved the location of our rooms. We were super close to the beach, pool, and restaurants. This was a great upgrade. The buffet was great, there is something for everyone. The restaurants were also great, the garden grill beingng my favorite. Because of the windy weather we only had one great day at the beach. We cannot control [... read more] the wind but otherwise it was great. We spent most of the time at the main pool. It was awesome! The bars were great as well as the quick Buffet's at the pools. The entertainment was amazing. We wached 4 shows. The Lion King was my favorite. The staff all did a great job! My only complaint was the check in for the royal golden guest. We had all requested our restaurants in advanced and none were correct when we arrived. This proved difficult to correct but we managed with many calls and visits to this seperate office. There seemed to be some mis-commuication on their part and took some work to sort out. The office also had a very bad smell to it. Like a very moldy cellar. Also, we arrived at 11:30 and check in was at 3. They sent us to lunch but after that they offered us nothing. It would be nice to have had a room to get dressed in so that we could go to the beach or pool. We did this anyways on our own in the main lobby bathrooms. My husband forgot an expensive clothing article in the bathroom and did not get it back. This could have been easily prevented if they gave us a private place to do get dressed in until our room was ready. At 3 our room was still not ready. Despite the issues with the restaurants reservations and check in we had an amazing trip and would recommend this resort. Trip Central was amazing to deal with and I will definitely use them in the future.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great hotel with some not so good points

The hotel bouganville(adult only side) was very nice and relatively quiet.Room was very clean, spacious and new.Grounds were meticulously well kept.Food was subpar however with buffets being bland and boring.You could find something to eat but not the greatest.Went out to Alacart and was very disappointed with the service.Placed order and waited a full hour and ten minutes to get it.Come on...Language was bad as I don’t think anyone knew or understood the English language.I know it is their c [... read more]ountry however a little basic English lessons to their staff would go a long way.Location was one hour twenty minute shuttle to airport.No where close to shop except in hotel only.Quite pricey.Cleaning staff were quite noisy in the halls talking to each other in loud echoing voices sometimes twenty rooms apart.This is an adult only bloc and you would think kids were running and playing in the halls.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: Great relaxing vavation

Beautiful spot to relax and have fun. The Tulum section of the resort is very close to the beach - and the Tulum section of the beach is currently the best part of the Grand Bahia Príncipe Riviera Maya beach. Once the door to our room was fixed (you had to really push firmly to latch it), our room was lovely. He grounds wer beautiful. We preferred the smaller buffet restaurant, Tequila, over the larger buffet restaurant, Yucatan. Waiter Gabriel was lots of fun, and had some extra-special tequil [... read more]a to share. We also preferred the smaller pool near Tequila. The pool bar La Cangrejo, was our favourite, and bartender Antonio was excellent. We booked meals at three a la carte restaurants - Cozumel (Mexican), La Gran Tortuga (Brazilian),and Le Gourmet (French), which were all lovely. We also managed to get a fourth reservation, by popping into the reservation office in the afternoon, and pre-paying for two bottles of wine (not a problem for a group of 6) - we had a great meal at Don Pablo. If you want dancing and live music, there is a fun spot set up each night outside of the Coba lobby.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: was an ok resort

I was very disappointed by the beach. a lots of corals and tons of seaweeds. they are trying to keep up with it but the nature is stronger... to hear their little tractor all the time is not very relaxing. On my last day, Feb. 24 2018 room 1801. I left my Iphone charger on the table. The maid replace it with his old one,which was broken and left with mine. couldn't charge my phone for my trip back. Not too impressed
