Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Very Large Resort

The resort itself is amazing. The food delicious and the beach goes on for miles. The only down side is the room we had. It was in need of some major cleaning and upgrading. When we walked into the room barefoot within seconds we looked like we had slippers on which told us the room was not cleaned in a while. The walls were thick with dust as well. The room smelled so musty that we had to keep our patio door open for a couple of days to get the smell out. One other bad thing is they didn [... read more]'t restock our bar fridge daily. We had to continually call for stuff. All in all if these upgrades were done I would definitely go back.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: No surprise, tropical paradise

The hotel was well maintained and well organized. It is styled in the classic Spanish fashion of the Grand Bahia properties. It boasts three pools, with jacuzzi jets and bars at all three. Chairs are plentiful at the beach but can be difficult to secure poolside. Staff are diligent about raking the beach if any seaweed washes up. We enjoyed all 3 restaurants in the Esmeralda part of the property and could have accessed others if we wished. All staff we encountered during our stay were friendly a [... read more]nd helpful. WiFi was available throughout, even at the beach.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: LBP Ambar Blue

I chose this resort because I wanted a 5 star adult vacation with a great beach. Jarius suggested Ambar Blue. My wife was sceptical due to the price. Once she got there, she was amazed. The resort is huge, 6 resorts in one. The grounds are clean, well lighted. Rooms are big, with king beds, refrigerators, safe, and lots of closet and drawer space for clothes. Bathrooms have quartz or stone walls, with showers and Jacuzzi. The pools are spacious and cleaned every morning. Go early in the a.m. t [... read more]o get your chairs reserved. The beach area is big, lots of chairs for sun and shade. Activities at the pool were fun, they really had to push to make people participate, but once they did it was exciting, such as a girl winning the push up competition, doing 67. The buffet restaurants at Ambar had more selection than the other resorts. The a la cartes, were delicious, each one unique. Make reservations early on the BH app. Make sure you see the Michael Jackson show on Friday evening. The village shops had a lot of the same product and the vendors were pushy. The new resort Fantasia was like Disneyland for the kids. Well thought out. resorts, something for everyone. The staff was friendly and helpful, and was grateful for a tip, Prices were in American dollars, and it was hard to get small denominations of Dominican pesos. The only issue we had was the door card wouldn't unlock the door, so we had to walk back to the lobby and get it renewed. I have never been to the same resort twice, but I would go back to this one.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Looks nice but not

The hotel is a nice looking resort and the rooms are very nice . It ends there. The beach area is small and broken up, not what the pictures show. The hotel is also confusing to get around inside because of the split levels. Less than year old and some of the elevaters won't work properly and get stuck. Service to repair clogged shower drains and other problems is pathetic. 4 days to get the job done. Dogs barking day and night from the neighborhood, along with stinking smoke. Staff that  [... read more]is not too interested in assisting wih a new room request, telling us that nothing is available for a week when rooms are being left by quests who are going home the next day. The food was ok but not great. 2 of 6 restaurants where good. Homeless cats left on the grounds begging for food and getting poolside chairs and towels dirty. ON the positive side the night entertainment was excellent. Most of the staff were very friendly. All this for only 7000$

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: excellent resort

Would go back in a heart beat food room service grounds keeping all excellent weather was perfect the whole week we were there staff waited on hand and foot all entertainment was wonderful it's defiantly on our radar to go again maybe even next year our travel agent definitely got this one right

I will be going back very soon, and recommend everyone to check it out, you will be amazed!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Nice Family Resort in need of some updating

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana from Jan 14-21. All in all the resort is very nice and very kid friendly. Unfortunately the rooms are very outdated and smell extremely musty and were not cleaned very well and the minifridge was not restocked daily. The resort grounds were AMAZING and always kept clean. The food as delicious - the best out of any resort we have been to.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: It was pretty good

The place was good , beach was pretty dirty. Food was pretty good for the most part. Overall experience was good, I would recommend it to my friends .one thing I was disappointed with Was is that we had no one in our buss on our way in to explain or talk about the resort or the country.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Grand Bahia San Juan

Just returned from 1 week. We had a great room which was ocean view that I did not ask for. The resort had a lot to choose from to eat...no one should have an issue with eating. It is kept very clean. Sure the beach is not your crystal blue water, but its a beach. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help u. It is a very large resort, but is layed out very well There is lots to do at the resort to keep u busy, or lots of quiet spots. My only complaint was the bus ride. We trave [... read more]lled an hour on a small bus, too many people confined to a small area and the driver drove very fast. I would definitely recommend this resort and return in the future. People need to remember u are in a third world country.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Best Resort I've Been To!

This resort is great!! The staff here is fantastic! The suite was very clean and the grounds were kept immaculate. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Food and entertainment were great. No problem with transportation around the resort. Had a great time and cannot find one thing to complain about!!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Must Go Here

Top notch. No complaints. Clean, exotic, spacious. Welcoming. Great food with lots of options for all types of eaters; regular, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan. Lots to do at the hotel or close by arranged by the hotel or through the tour company. Staff was exceptional, friendly & helpful. We really liked the freedom to go to the different hotels trying different a la carte restaurants or buffets or entertainment. We had a fabulous time & will definitely go back!!

This resort is...small..but not too small..quiet..relaxing...food was great..lots to choose from on the buffet..ala carts were delicious..the staff are always friendly and helpful.. Shows in the evening were entertaining..beach area is clean and lots of chairs and huts for sunning..

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Very relaxing Vacation

The hotel was very nice. Well maintained. Rooms were pretty clean. Beds and pillows need to be upgraded. Pools were great and clean also. Could use a washroom around the swim up bar. Good food thru the entire resort. The resort is huge, but the trolleys come frequently. Over all great resort. Very nice staff

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Decent Resort

Good Facilities for adults and kids. The resort has ample space and good activities. Evening entertainment was good for both kids and adults. Some of the infrastructure needs maintenance, however its not very bad.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great resort

I enjoyed our stay and the Bahia Pricincioe Coba, the grounds were beautiful, the food was great Andrew the entertainment was wonderful. A wide variety of things to do for all ages. The trams run often, the pools are kept up.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great Vacation

I traveled Jan 13-20, 2017 with a friend. This is a solid 4-star resort. Our room was a bit dated, but clean. The rest of the resort was great. Very nice lobby area for hanging out in the evenings, with spotless bathrooms. Beach was amazing, soft white sand, turquoise waters, and palm trees - postcard beautiful. We spent pretty much all day, every day at the beach. It is a busy resort area so beach is a bit crowded, no room to throw a frisbee, but it's great for people watching. However [... read more] if you're willing to go for a long walk, once you get past the Hard Rock there is a big stretch of undeveloped beach with no hotels, houses, vendors or anything which was really cool (but a lot of garbage, sadly). The only downside to the beach is that is faces northeast so you get the sunrise, but not sunset. Due to the tall palm trees the beach was in the shade by late afternoon. On a few days we migrated to the pool after 4:00 to catch the last few hours of sun. Pools were clean. It was quite windy for most of our stay which made sitting in the shade at the beach a bit chilly at times. The positive is it made for great fun playing the waves, however the waves were too big for kids. The last two days the wind died down and there were no waves, so we experienced both. Mostly a mix of sun a cloud with just a few short showers. The food was good, lots of options at the buffet, including some Dominican cuisine which was nice. We ate at the Mediterranean (seafood), Dominican, and Garden (steak) a la carte restaurants which were decent. The concierge can make your reservations right after you check in. I ate everything, including salad greens, and drank water everywhere except out of the tap and never got sick. Brushed my teeth with tap water and was fine. We had requested two beds and they had given us a room with only one bed, but we just went to the beach for lunch while they waited for a two-bed room to check out and they re-assigned us. Unfortunately it was the furthest possible room from the beach, but closest to the lobby/buffet so you win some/lose some. This is big resort which is good and bad. Lots of activities, lots of dining options, but also a bit crowded at the beach. But there were lots of chairs at the beach. You had to be there early if you wanted a lounger in the first row, but there were always a ton of empty ones in the third and fourth rows even on the days we slept in. Bottom line is I would go back and would recommend this resort to friends and family.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Nothing Special....

The grounds were impeccable, the beach was gorgeous the weather was great. The food was edible, the a la carte was terrible from booking to dessert, however that never came. Service was slow, if you were served at all. The resort was too large for my taste and pool chairs were hard to come by. However, I didn't pay a ridiculous price and had a great time.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort for the price

I had a great time with my friends at this resort. For the price we paid I have absolutely no complaints. Rooms were nice and clean , food was good, pool were great , beach was great and long, so perfect for walking 😊

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Relaxing Trip

The room was a very good size and very clean. Although the resort is huge with a lot of people, there are different areas you can go if you don't want to socialize. The grounds, pool and beach area very clean. This is our second time at this hotel, I must say the service was much better the first time, too bad this is a very niece hotel. Enjoyed the shows very much. My husband and I enjoyed the Jamaican night at the Restaurant very much. The turn off for me was the cold food at the bu [... read more]ffet, the warmers are not working. We had a reservation at the Italian Restaurant, the food and service was great. The bar service on beach great not so much in the lobby. If you focus on the little thinks that drives you crazy you miss out on having a relaxing and enjoyable time.
