Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Good choice.

Beautiful well kept grounds, good food, friendly staff, clean and comfortable accommodation. We were looking to escape winter in Ontario and feel we could not have made a better choice. We hope to return.

Dreams La Romana: Lovely resort.

Grounds are beautiful. People are so, so nice, just fabulous and will anything for you. Food is good, lots of choices, no lobster though. You won't go hungry here! Entertainment team makes this resort what it is. Ocean is warm, no fish for snorkeling. Waves not big, good for swimming. Enjoyed our vacation here.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Heaven on Earth

We loved this resort, it had everything we wanted. I enjoyed the activities and also the beach and pool. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Also the people we super nice and helpful.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great Resort...

The hotel was great...the grounds are immaculate very well taken care of. They have 2 pools in the adult section..the quiet pool and the "busy pool'...we spent most of our time in the quiet pool side....easy to get drinks and lots of loungers for the guest's. Booking the restaurants was a little trying...however we managed to eat at places where we wanted. The booze was top shelf...including Crown Royal ! The staff was great....they really tried to accommodate everyone. The beach was very clean. [... read more]...however if you are not there by 10 A.M. you will not get a lounger....the beach is busy ! Overall would I go there again...absolutely! I loved the resort....La Romana is the place to go.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great resort, definitely recommended.

Very nice resort, with beautiful grounds and well kept. Great pools and beach areas, friendly staff and our butler was awesome. Nice room, good food at the buffet and the a la cartes. Stayed for 10 days and would definitely go back and recommend it to others. The Bouganville side is adults only and great for couples but you can access everything on the Romana (family) side also.

Dreams Dominicus La Romana: Dreams Dominicus - Romana - Great place

Hotel and amenities were great. Nice rooms with modern touch. Amazing food, nice beach and pools. Restaurants didn't require reservation which was unusual before trying it, but it worked and there was little to no wait time and no limits. Overall 9 out of 10.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Disappointingly NOT a 5 star!

My wife and I have had the good fortune to vacation extensively throughout the Caribbean. We've stayed at 3 stars to 5 stars and I would have to categorize Be Live Collection Canoa as a 4 star, and not a 5 star as their website suggests. We attended the resort the week of Feb. 15th, 2019. I'll comment on the pros and the cons and let you form your own conclusion. Pros We found the staff to be friendly and courteous, the wifi was excellent throughout the entire property, the washrooms throu [... read more]ghout the resort were clean and well stocked, our room was well maintained, the entertainment was good, the beach is beautiful, plenty of lounge chairs and shade, but I'll comment more on the beach below, resort was overall well kept, short drive from/to the airport...sounds good so far. Cons The food in the buffets was disappointing! Orange juice consisted of 'Tang' powdered orange juice, eggs were either omelettes or fried, no boiled, or otherwise, syrup dish for the pancakes/waffles CONSTANTLY went empty - no one replacing it, people left waiting, two types of cereal...Fruit Loops and Raisin Bran, milk containers CONSISTENTLY empty - no one replacing them, people left waiting (lots of almond milk though)....they could use a buffet staff member keeping track of what is running low/empty and see that it gets replaced, food was REPETITIVE - pool area buffet especially, you could have broccoli, potatoes and cauliflower for supper and see it again for breakfast, there are more kinds of pasta that could be presented throughout the week than spaghetti and rigatoni, and the sauce was of poor quality. The staff in the buffet came to our table on 2 occasions at suppertime throughout the week asking if we would like more water/wine...that was frustrating. The pool was clean but the water was very cold!...few people swimming in it throughout the week. 2019 - solar heaters do an amazing job at heating pools and there was plenty of sun. The beach - step into the water and it is very rocky and slippery, my wife slipped getting out of the water and cut her foot, some snorkeling, but it is way out there by the roped swimming perimeter - with motor boats zipping closely by. The entertainment started late - 10 pm. After a 6:30 - 7 pm supper you had a long, near 3 hour wait (chat/drink) - how about starting at 9 pm, as many other resorts do, then people could sit in the lounge areas after the 1 hour show and chat/drink, probably a better start time for the many young children at the resort. I believe that in most instances you get what you pay for. The cost of this vacation was less than what we would have paid for at a 5 star like the Riu, or Royalton or Dreams. In balance, I definitely would have to categorize the Canoa as a 4 star resort.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Pampered in Paradise

Terrific place! The rooms are fairly modern and spacious. The grounds are immaculate. 2 pools (one quiet) offer whatever you're looking for... both have swim up bars. 2 buffets and 3 a la cartes… plus you have reciprocal rights to the adjacent B.P. La Romana with more dining options. Beach is nice: tall palms and lots of palapas. Staff were amazing! Pillow service and room scents available (included) as is butler service, room service, turn down service. We're not usually big on the extra pam [... read more]pering but it was a really nice extra. We try to get away a couple of times a year and this place was among the best we've been to. We would unreservedly recommend the Bouganville to anyone looking for a relaxing week in the sun.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Excellent

This resort was excellent! Amazing services, staff, entertainment, beautiful views and extremely clean. I would definitely recommend this resort to others. I loved that it is especially family friendly. I would love to go back!

Catalonia Royal La Romana: Perfect Get Away from Everything

We just came back from 11 days at the Catalonia La Romana. It was a wonderful vacation. We needed to get away and have nothing to do and nowhere to go. The resort was perfect for us. We were given a room in the central courtyard area and asked to be moved somewhere off the beaten path. The next day we were reassign and paid a small amount for an upgrade. With this we also got two massages (one for each of us) and dinner on the beach (which we declined). The women at the spa were terrific. We eac [... read more]h had the 25 minute back-shoulder-neck massage and liked it so much that we returned a few days later for a second treatment. It took the tension and the knots in our shoulder areas out. Ahhhhh. Francesca has the magic touch. The resort is VERY clean. Staff are always sweeping, cleaning and picking up after guests. We loved it that, no matter who on staff passed by us, each person smiled and said hello. We felt welcomed and valued. Our room was perfectly air conditioned and always clean. You have to get to the beach between 7 and 7:30 to get the loungers in the the shade. Be ready for a walk (about 2 blocks long) from the resort to the beach either through the two resorts or along the side road. There is a cart that goes every 20 - 30 minutes back and forth. We will consider returning to the Catalonia in the future.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Beautiful resort

Do not believe the bad reviews, the resort is awesome. The grounds are impeccable, the pools are very well kept. The service in the bars and restaurants are excellent. Lots of loungers, both shade and sun. The rooms are very well appointed. Good selection of food at the buffet and Don Pablo was very good. If you want white sand and crystal clear blue water , you won't find it here. The beach is a nice long walking beach. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Plan to return.

Sunscape Dominicus La Romana: Lovely! !

I really enjoyed it. The staff were lovely . The beach also! A special shout to Juan from snack bar/Mexican a LA carte took such good care and the mexican food yum. Also Yun Yun from the animation dept. Lovely lady. She even went out of her way when she had seen I had cut my knee to get a life guard to come and fix me up! The grounds are beautiful.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great Adult Resort !

Super frendly staff, great buffet food, great a la cart restaurants, Super clean rooms and grounds, they don’t waterdown drinks, amazing pool bartenders, ocean was a bit blury because of the river running into it ( bottom sand mixing) not because of dirty water. We knew this going there. Reserving a day snorkel excursion is a must at Catalina island. Speak to Jessica at the hotel, super friendly ! The only negative was the return bus ride , they were late 40 mins,

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Great resort for the price

Travelled last week in January. Stayed in Royal Golden and room was fantastic with beach view. The pool was very nice. Beach is ok. Would like to be closer to a town to visit but I was there to relax. Service was very good everywhere and would go back!

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: A little disappointed

This is a hotel complex that has very nice rooms,well kept grounds,nice and well kept pools,but could improve there Buffet .Some of the items provided such as seafood, left some people sick,my wife being one.The service was over supplied and not necessary needed. For example 4 supervisors and a great number of waiters/waitress.A waste of money.The A la Carte restaurants were quite good,however to get tickets was quite time consuming The five restaurants,all but one was on the property of Grand [... read more] Bahia Principie.We were at the beach only once,but it appeared dangerous in some places due to a sudden drop-off. All in all it was OK,but if we went again we would fly to La Romana instead of Punta Cana

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing Resort

The Resort was beautiful, rooms very clean the beach was beautiful, the food was amazing I loved everything about the Resort. the staff was very helpful on the places to eat at certain restaurants and the entertainment was fantastic.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Kind if disappointing

Beautiful grounds, small beach, water was not clear like you would expect for being on the Caribbean. We had our room fumigated as I found 2 cockroaches hotel very prompt with that. Food and drinks were good. Staff very friendly and courteous, entertainment was good. Pool was great.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Incredible resort, want to go back NOW!

This resort is a 10 out of 10 for everything. Food, room, housekeeping, room service, front desk, pool, beach, the list goes on. The staff have customer service down to an art. Managers were very visible and any concerns were addressed immediately.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Definitely a Hidden Gem!

Our stay at the Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville was fabulous! It is a beautiful resort, with lots of palm trees and shade at the beach. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The grounds were meticulous. There was plenty of choice in cuisine, both in the buffet and the a la carte restaurants. The food was excellent. The staff catered to your every want or need and the entertainment during the day and at night was very enjoyable. It was a very relaxing vacation and I would go back in a h [... read more]eartbeat!
