The resort grounds were beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly, especially the waiters in the buffet areas. The beach was amazingly clean. I would go back in an instance to enjoy the beautiful weather as well.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Very nice

The resort is beautiful. The rooms were spacious. Everything from the rooms to the grounds, pools, beach, restaurants, common areas, rest rooms were incredibly clean and well maintained. The staff were all very polite, friendly and professional. We never felt wary or uncomfortable at any time. Food and drink were always available. We were grateful for being in a quiet part of the resort, but appreciated the option to join festivities when we wanted to. Coming from Canada, we don't know  [... read more]any Spanish and the staff knew very little English so it was often difficult to ask questions. But everyone was very eager to assist. Both staff and guests were mostly Spanish speaking so we didn't socialize with many people during our stay. The food and drink was plentiful, but the islands have a very different flavour to everything.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Beautiful resort

The staff were very friendly, food was delicious, service was great! The only thing I did not like was the beach. It was very rocky and not clear blue as you would imagine a tropical destination. But about 10 mins walk away the beach is nicer. Overall it was nice. A long way from the airport in cancun! 1.5 hours.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great vacation!

We stayed at the Grand Bahia Príncipe which is part of a complex including Bavaro, Esmerelda and some other resorts all in the same grounds. Be prepared to walk or take the trolley which passes very often on 3-4 main "roads" to get from the lobby and buffet area to the beach with stops in between for the pools or your villas. Rooms were nice and clean although not always fully re-stocked (tissue, toiletries, towels) but clean and spacious. The buffet had a great selection all the time with fres [... read more]h fruits and great desserts and a theme each night for variety. I would have liked a snack station near to the 2 giant pools in the middle of the complex as we were drinking in the swim up bar but nothing to munch on. There is a snack bar/buffet at the "main" pools just before the beach. Those pools are always crowded and seemed less clean and peaceful for us. The kids have a fabulous water park with slides which is fantastically entertaining for the kids. The wifi is minimal (in the steamy lobby for 1 hour a day) which can be a blessing or a curse depending on your needs. Drinks were strong and yummy. I would recommend this resort and def this chain.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Best vacation

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Great Resort

We had a good time at the Grand Bahia Príncipe , the staff ,service and food was very good. The beach was amazing! The decorated our room for our anniversary, made us feel special. I hope to return soon.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Amazing vacation!

We arrived around noon. The check in was fast, the staff was friendly and helpful. The resort is very well kept, the staff will go above and beyond to please you. The food was great, with a variety of bufets and restaurants to shoose from. Will be going back.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Amazing Trip

This resort is very beautiful. Large grounds, good food, great beach.The staff was very friendly. Only thing is kind of difficult to book dinner reservations, they are usually booked, call and book in advance

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Great hotel and stay

The hotel is a great resort to stay at, however it is very large so if you don't like walking you must wait for the trolly. Excellent hospitality and friendly staff. Defiantly would come again and recommend to others. There are many a la Carte restaurants and plenty to choose from. The buffet was not bad good variety sometimes not the greatest however. The snack bar being open and accessible at almost anytime is very convenient. Overall a great place to stay.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Wonderful resort!

Well kept grounds, abundance of food and very very good, staff are very mannerly and friendly, clean rooms, very clean resort, entertainment was great, lots of activities during the day. Would not recommend Luminous Lagoon excursion, waste of time and money.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Beautiful resort

This resort has two sections Ambar 1 which is at beach area and is an older part, Ambar 2 which is further from the beach and is newer so therefore the rooms are a little nicer. If you stay in 2, it is a straight 8-10 minute walk to the beach or you can take one of their efficient shuttles, (not a big deal). The restaurants can be booked by email 2 weeks prior to departure. I would suggest that you do this as you can change them when there. #1 Bella Italia at Esmeralda, #2 Don Pablo, #3 Ro [... read more]dizio. Would not recommend Portofino or either Japanese rest. Breakfast and lunch foods 9/10, a little above most typical DR 5 stars. Entertainment- the usual shows everynight, fun if this is your first time seeing them. At ambar 1 they have a live entertainer 8-10:30, good for relaxing or dancing. Overall good resort!

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Ok resort!

We stayed from Aug 7-14, 2016. The hotel was nice. The staff was friendly. Some issues we encountered: 1. Room was dated. 2. Bath tub had stains. 3. Ran out of water while in the middle of a shower. 4. Cockroach in the room. We've told the front desk about these and was advised they will have someone look at it. They cleaned our room and left 2 shirts and a small bottle of liquor in the room, I guess to appease us. Food and drinks are good. There are times when some are too salty. We've [... read more] had a few occasions when we've had to wait a loooong time to get some agua. Also, dinner at Dolce Vita took the longest. We left after 1 hr & 45 mins. Dessert took so long so we decided to just have some coffee at the lobby bar. The beach was small, not white sand! The pools were ok. The beach and hills villa pools are more private and quiet. Overall it was an ok stay. We won't come back.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Amazing hotel

Good location . Verry good food no one got sick.Nice big specious rooms . Great customer service . To bad this will be all adult hotel in the near future. Polls little bit to hot not great for cooling . Kids had lots of fun as the shuttle going in to the other resorts every couple minutes , verry nice kids are with water slides .

The Eurostars Grand Cayacoa: Beautiful resort

Resort is massive! Beautiful! Clean and well maintained. It's got spectacular views from every point. Food was great! We had a fabulous stay! And we definitely recommend Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa. We would def consider coming back!

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Fun times

Hotel is very comfortable. Staff is very friendly. Beach is beautiful. Property is very well kept. AC in the rooms works really well, best I've experienced in an island location. Only downside is that you have to get up early to reserve chairs.

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Best vacation ever

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Príncipe Punta Cana we loved and enjoyed every moment in that resort. Service, food, rooms, everything was exceptional. We definitely recommend this hotel . We would for sure come back !

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Nice Resort But Not a 5-star!

The resort's grounds are beautiful and well kept;however the rooms are outdated especially in the adult only section Ambar 1 the lobby was gorgeous but the minute we entered the room it was outdated...the bathroom was terrible(rust on mirrors , broken ceramic tiles, and not cleaned properly).We had requested 2nd or 3rd floor and they placed us in ground level floor. The rooms don't face the ocean either. We were there to celebrate our anniversary which they were aware about and we didn't get any [... read more]thing special and other rooms we noticed had something special done. The staff was nice however the staff behind counter in lobby always looked bothered and not very approachable. Food was good. The à-la-carte restaurants were good... Except the Takara(Asian) ...terrible service and food seemed like it was sitting there for a while(although we had our reservations at 9pm ..food should always be fresh). The one thing that bothered us the most was being given a privileged card and then you waste an hour of your time to go to the Esmeralda hotel where there are a bunch of salesman trying to show you the suites and everything and then very insistent on trying to sell you vacations (almost like time -sharing concept) and they are nice and everything until you have to tell them more than once you're not interested and then you notice their change of attitudes. Oh and if you want a spot on the beach ( closest to the sand where u can actually see the ocean) then you better wake up at 6 a.m to go reserve your beach chairs. It was overall ok ...would I return to this hotel? ...probably not.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Mixed feelings

It is a very disorganized hotel, and it took us well over 2 hours to get to our room. We were sent from one area of the lobby to the next three times before the check in process even started. Then we were sent to another counter to get the key for the safe. Of course after that we were sent to another line to the "cashier" who advised us that we did not need to make a deposit and handed us the instructions for the safe. The room had a metal ceiling which was not attached to the wall in the corne [... read more]rs, and we got quite a few bugs as a result. Other than the years worth of soap scum in the shower stall, the room was kept pretty clean. The mini fridge was only stocked with three beers only when we left a significant tip. Otherwise the fridge guy left it completely empty. The food was good, there were lots of options and many of them were delicious. The snack bar is a buffet of lunch leftovers sitting in the heat for hours on end. We tried to order room service the first night as we arrived late and we were told it is not available after 10pm. We went to bed hungry that night. When we asked the front desk the next day the lady called room service and gave them a hard time, so we did get room service on subsequent days. The beach is man made, very icky to step on with a LOT of seaweed and even mud on the bottom. It is hard to swim because it fluctuates, so you may be 10m out and feel seaweed brushing your leg or belly. Some of the servers were amazing though, and we did have a good time in spite of all the issues. We were approached by 80% of the staff trying to sell us all kinds of drugs. Many of the describes upgrades for the royal golden were not received, but the view was nice.
