Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great Time

Good bang for your buck. The staff went out of thier way to make you comfortable with everything. Food was good and the room was clean The only real problem I have with this resort is that you have to pay for the safe in your room. I would tell my friends to stay here

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Beyond our expectations

Great combination of adult only with a variety of activities. Food and service are fantastic, doesn't feel like the resort is trying to save money on cheap drinks or quantity (you can put away those bubba's!). Had a fantastic time!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Relaxing Resort Sian Kaan

This is an excellent adults only resort being a part of large complex of Bahia Principe (Tulum, Akumal, Coba and Sian Kaan). Tulum and Akumal are on the beach, while Sian Kaan is more inland but with a golf course. You can walk to all of them but open shuttles are going between them every 15 minutes. The grounds are immaculate, service excellent, rooms clean and any issues are dealt with promptly. Lots of restaurants, snack bars, beach bars with drinks and snacks delivery right to your beach l [... read more]ounge chair. Beach is very well maintained and the staff (and there is lots of staff) busy constantly raking and cleaning it. Beautiful pools with bars and restaurants nearby. No annoying vendors as access to the resorts is tightly monitored by security. Excellent value for the money.

Bahia Principe Explore Tulum: GRAND BAHIA PRINCIPE TULUM - MEXICO FEB 2017

SUN/BEACH/POOLS - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO RELAX GREAT LOCATION/NICE HOTEL WEATHER PERFECT LOBBY BAR WAS CLOSED DUE TO FIRE A FEW WKS BEFORE OUR STAY/BUT THEY WERE WORKING HARD TO FIX IT AND IT WAS LOOKING GREAT WHEN WE WERE LEAVING. WISH WE COULD HAVE SEEN IT. THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD BARS OPEN LATER SINCE THAT ONE WAS CLOSED. WOULD HAVE LIKED TO TRY SOME OF THE RESTAURANTS, BUT COULDN'T GET RESERVATIONS.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Beautiful Resort

Grand Bahia Principe Punta Cana was recommended to me from a friend. I am so glad I went with her suggestion. The resort is amazing. Very clean, the food is awesome, people are so friendly. I will definitely be going back there for another stay!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: so so

resort was a bit dated,received calls from someone at 2:30am three times and with no reason,some of the front dest people were rude when asking questions and having to ask again because i couldnt understand them,beaches were very nice,food was pretty good. Had to request more drinking water for the room as well as bath towels. Flight coming home was delayed 8 hrs and no Air Transat reps around to assist as to when we wetre to leave the resort,us and other passengers had to figure it out,pretty [... read more] poor representation of Air Transat,will not fly them again.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Definitely going back!

My husband and I just got back on Friday. What a beautiful resort! We had a one bedroom master suite which was awesome, two bathrooms and two balconies overlooking the ocean. The food at the buffet was great, lots of selection! The beach was nice but definitely does not compare to Cuba. The nighttime entertainment was great with lots of audience participation. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was having a good time! We will definitely be going back!

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Beach Perfect

Awesome beach walk for miles, crystal clear water. Good food clean rooms. Don't waste your time in Les Terranas although it's a nice walk along the beach from the resort. No ocean view rooms at this resort as the restaurants all face the beach. Nice resort not to big. I would go back but wouldn't pay for the Royal Golden package as an upgrade next time. a la carte should be used Rodizio interesting, French very nice. Buffet was also good.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: A beautiful resort!

What can't I say about this resort? The rooms were clean as well as large . The grounds immaculate with lush vegetation. The food was amazing and available 24 hours a day. I loved to snorkel in the ocean. Seen many tropical fish. Many wonderful restaurants to choose from with a wide selection of food. Entertainment was available nightly. The hospitality was exceptional. Would absolutely go back again.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great experience.

The Grand Bahia Principe did not disappoint. The service was great. The food was amazing. Our room was clean. The grounds were well maintained. There were activities but you had to go find them, the activity staff didn't rally people. The beach is calm but the water is murky.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Ka'an

Amazing Location, friendly staff always a hello and a smile from everyone. Food and drinks a 5 star Amazing beach and crystal clear water to snorkel and lots of fish to see. Tram ride to beach area was a first for us but we met lots of people on the rides.Tram ride operators friendly as well shout out to Luis!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: nice clean beautiful resort. some staff need language improvement

The main problem was the language barrier. Even the people working the front desk could not speak english. I almost felt as if the workers were having problems with management and therefore the tourists suffered. Our large group are very good tippers and on numerous occasions did not receive and thank you in any language. The resort itself was veery good, food was great. We had one problem with money missing, it was left on the dresser ( not the bed) my bad.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Great time

Beautiful rooms, beach, water was great. Luxury side lobby was very clean Lots of variety at buffets but food lukewarm to warm Exceptionally friendly staff, seemed sincere Internet was free and worked quite well

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Great time

we had an excellent time at the Luxury Bahia Princpe Esmarelda. From our girl Yenny who served us at the pool our drinks she was an amazing little girl. To sexy chocolate and Pedro the dancers who were at the pool getting people upbeat about the exercises they were awesome and funny. Our room was beautiful, The maids were nice.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Short but sweet

Me and my girl friend had a great vacation. 5 nights. Buffets were excellent! Staff were very helpful sometimes a little to helpful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful. Gardens are beautiful.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Satisfactory resort overall: 4 stars maximum

My husband and I had a good experience overall. Our room was comfortable, with all amenities. Personnel was kind and helpful (as long as you had working knowledge of Spanish). Food was varied. We had fantastic meals in the different restaurants. The grounds were kept clean. Lots of activities were available at no cost from dancing lessons to Spanish lessons, from catamaran to kayak and stand up paddle boards. However, some of our friends encountered problems, e.g. only lukewarm water in som [... read more]e rooms, housekeeping not organized, limited help from the front desk. There were robberies. Balcony doors were forced and different items anything from computer plugs and computers to personal items were stolen. Each room was equipped with a safe but you had to pay extra for the lock. We found the extra cost of US$4.00 per day ridiculous but necessary. . We had two concerns. The Internet would only work from the lobby, no access whatsoever from the room. The resort itself was isolated. Any town worth visiting was at least one hour away, which made outside trips very lengthy. First world problems for sure, but still inconvenient.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: What a great resort in so many ways but what a disappointment in many others!

We had been to a Bahia San Juan at Puerto Plata 2 years ago and so were familiar with their general layout and operation. We had not been to Punta Cana and so decided to try the Grand Bahia Luxury Esmeralda largely on the recommendation of the travel agent we used 2 years ago. We knew the place was big but had no idea it was SO big. There are 5 hotels on the property and I was told there are over 4000 rooms. First the good parts. 1/ food was outstanding. We ate at several a la cart restau [... read more]rants and always enjoyed our meals. Big problem was in getting a time around 7 pm. Apparently one can book well ahead and for your entire week or two should you wish. This means that late comers are often out of luck. The buffet restaurants were very good and had lots of choice. The Esmeralda offers outside dining at one buffet and that was nice most of the time. We found the indoor dining often to be chilly. 2/ grounds were immaculate both in cleanliness and in landscaping. It was a treat to walk the paths and be surrounded but lovely vegetation always. 3/ building exteriors were lovely and in very good state of repair from what we saw. 4/ Fantasia was a new hotel area which caters to youngsters and it was gorgeous to walk thru at night. Some lighting engineer had done a wonderful job with the buildings being floodlite as well as coordinating lights with the fountains. 5/ pools were immaculate. They always looked and felt lovely. 6/ the help staff were almost always willing to help you with a cheerfulness that was warm and appeared genuine. 7/ the beach was fine sand and felt nice to walk on for as long as you wanted in either direction. So why did we come away disappointed? 1/ SMOKING! No matter where we went, aside from indoor dining areas there were lots of people (largely from Quebec) who smoked. With most generalizations this is not fair but it seemed that every time we turned around the smokers were speaking French. We couldn't escape the smoke on the beach while resting in the chaise loungers nor around the pools. 2/ BUSY. There were so many people who fed on to the beach area from the 5 hotels that one had trouble finding a spot unless you were prepared to go early and "reserve" a chaise by throwing your towel over it. This is a pet peeve of mine because often people will do this and not return to their chair for many hours. The lineups for lunch at the beach buffets were very large and smoking was not controlled in these areas. getting any seating was a problem and woe betide you if the folks nearby decided to light up. 3/ Entertainment....the live music offerings were done by quality singers however the seating for listening to them was limited and once again smokers made the enjoyment less. The acts that followed were done on a small stage area which didn't provide very much seating around the pool unless you were prepared to park yourself very early. The Michael Jackson concert was pretty good but the smoking got to us there too. 4/ We talked to a few other people there who like ourselves found that once you had walked the beach a bit and then lay around the pool a bit you ran out of things to do. The Bahia Village was a bit of a walk and most folk took the shuttle bus to get to it. Once you walked about looking at the typical tourist stuff there was little reason to return. There was no shuffleboard. Bocce was mentioned but we couldn't find it and we aren't really into beach volleyball in the full sun. 5/ NOISE. Our first room was an end unit which happened to be the location of the shuttle bus bringing in tourists at all hours. The first 2 nights we were awakened by these buses at 1:45 am. There were also people who thought they should have loud conversations right outside our door and they didn't take kindly to being shushed even at 2 am! We moved to another building where we encountered the same problems of loud conversations by females who had too much to drink. The noise was so bad that people in an adjoining building came out to find out the source. 6/ VIP Safari...offered by Transat Holidays. A rip off! We had taken a similar trip at P Plata and had a wonderful time. This time we were kept waiting 50 minutes before starting, there were 20 people crammed into a truck-like vehicle with poor suspension and we spent some hours bouncing over rough roads. The guide was good and had no control over the numbers (or so we were led to believe) but the experience of crowding was continued on a boat where we ate lunch. We both flet we spent a lot of time and money for relatively little.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing resort

Good service very clean amazing people enjoyed the beach food was excellent had so much fun I will definitely will go again beautiful resort very well maintained very safe the shows at night were very enjoyable so is shopping I'm glad I have made good choice to go and the most I like to thank my travel agent saskia for helping thru it all good job thanks to you all trip central

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Beautiful resort

We had an amazing time. The grounds were stunning, our room was spacious and clean and overlooked one of the 3 pools. Meals were good and staff were wonderful. High fives to Sexy chocolate and the rest of the entertainment team and to Juan at the main pool for those awesome drinks. We would definetly return but would stay longer next time. Thank you to Diana at Trip Central for recommending this beautiful place.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: A beautiful resort

We arrived at Sian Ka'an and my husband asked if we could get an upgrade. We ended up staying at Akumel in Building 83 which was still all adult luxury accommodation. We did eat, golf and wander the grounds at Sian Ka'an and found it to be above expectation. We also have a friend that stayed there and raved about how nice it was. We golfed four times and the golf course is kept - as everything else - in impeccable condition.
