Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Nice resort.

The staff are excellent, friendly, courteous and accommodating. The food was great as was the pool, entertainment and nice view of the ocean. The building is showing a bit of age and could use a bit of a touch up, but, no bugs, good a/c in the room. I would definitely go back.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Nice hot weather

Nice resort, beautiful well kept , shower had limited hot water, had to shave with cold water, food was the same every day, goumet restaurants were not gourmet. Too many real estate sharks bugging us every day.Bahia Punta cana was better last year

Bahia Principe Explore Legend: Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana - Feb 2025

This review is for Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana. Good: wrist band has a micro-chip that opens door to room; animation team (fun dancing, Zumba on the beach, aquafit, pool games, evening shows); food is mediocre between buffets and restaurants - fresh made pizza dough is delicious; can make reservations on a self-serve screen in the lobby or with Guest Service, Rodizio Brazilian restaurant was delicious! Nice beach (white sand, turquoise ocean); nice grounds with efficient trolleys to get  [... read more]around the property; self-serve coffee machines and wine/beer taps; the Village beside the hotel is useful with disco, shops, 24hr medical clinic, and specialty shows - need to make reservations for the Dominican Fiesta ($16 US). Bad: over 1 hour to check-in (after 2am, with mosquitos); no loungers available at pool or beach - many chairs sit empty with towels on them; overcrowded buffets and slow lineups for food - staff couldn't keep up with cleaning tables, plates, cutlery, making for a chaotic experience; have to pay for a fresh pina colada $5-$10US, otherwise, the bar mixed pina coladas don't taste very good. To know: big complex requires lots of walking or using trolleys to get around; my renovated room 22206 was well located near the beach but about 10 mins walk to the lobby for breakfast; gym is dark without enough weights for the few people using it, the leg press machine was unusable, I didn't see any cleaning between use of equipment. Bring: sunscreen, rain jacket and small umbrella, mosquito/sand fleas repellent, wash cloth (towels, shampoo/conditioner/shower gel/soap provided, but not cloths). Flights: Air Transat had delays on departure and return. My itinerary said "multi-meals", which means food for purchase, but Transat lacked choices. I ended up with a small, dry breakfast sandwich for supper, very yucky, for $10 CAD. Since it was a night flight (5:20pm), by the time we arrived at the hotel, there was only one gentleman to check-in a bus load of vacationers which took longer than expected. Punta Cana was 1 hour ahead of Ottawa; due to the flight delay (over an hour), the time to retrieve luggage, and the wait on the bus before driving 30 mins to the hotel, we didn't get there until around 2:30am local time. This turned into a 4:30am bedtime by the time I got to the room and found a snack (since a proper dinner was not offered on the flight). Maybe it's ideal to take a morning flight.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Very big property!

We had to change room 3 times! My Sister got really sick after eating a hamberger on the 1st night! The service at Fish House was really poor. After 90 minutes they served our entre before our Appetizer! The buffet at Bahia Principe Grand AQUAMARINE Was really good & staff was efficient & friendly!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: We had a fun time - but not a perfect time

Overall, the resort was nice, clean and organized. The grounds are well kept. The swim-up pool in our room was amazing (and made for some fun pool parties!). With a group of 16 of us, we were always on the go. We attended many evening functions (silent disco, live bands, karaoke, etc) which were ok and fun...not over the top. Overall, the food was a disappointment. We even had one a'la carte dinner that we got up and walked out of part way through our main course. Service was horrible and  [... read more]the food inedible. The buffets were inconsistent. We did like the beach BBQ and the Paella on the grill! Bar service was good from the bar, but the pool service was slow (up to 45 mins to get a drink to your chair). The main pool was huge and the swim up bar busy, but there were several "oil slicks" of grunge floating around most of the days. Kinda gross. This was our first "5 star" resort experience and we left somewhat disappointed. We'll probably go back to cruising!

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Excellent Spot to Relax

This hotel was amazing! The rooms were awesome and the swim up was very relaxing. Friendly staff and very accommodating. The Entertainment Team was incredible.The food was excellent at the buffets and the ALaCarts were very good! The only thing i would complain about would be the lack of lounge chairs available around the pool. People get up early and clip towels on the chairs snd leave them there all day! That was more than frustrating!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Amazing, beautiful resort.

We stayed at the Bahía Príncipe Akumal, adult only resort and cannot say enough about it. The rooms were beautiful, so spacious and clean. The grounds were beautifully kept, we had our own pool, restaurant and beach with lots of chairs available. The drinks were yummy, the food delicious and the people so friendly and helpful. We do not have one bad thing to say about this property and we will definitely be going back. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Bahia Principe Luxury Esmaralda AMAZING!

Can't say enough about the resort. Room was modern and clean and bed was a pillow top with just the right softness. Food was amazing at the a la carts, and the buffet had everything you wanted. Staying at the Esmaralda gave us access to all the other Baha Principe within the complex. The only downfall about the whole trip was the mosquitoes at night (certainly no fault to the resort). Never experienced such an influx of mosquitoes while vacationing in January/February. I guess there is alw [... read more]ays a first time.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: first class resort

everything awesome about resort and people..no nightly shows however..food excellent...beer too weak..room cleaning excellent...staff very friendly..our trip central rep janet awesome. will go again through her

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Fun and relaxing!

We just returned from the Luxury Ambar, this was our sixth visit. We are always pleased with the resort but it's the staff that makes it memorable. The entertainment crew are always planning fun things for all ages. Everyone makes you feel welcome. A special shout out to our sisters at the lobby bar, Anyeli and Diocelina we can't wait to see you next year ?

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Average resort

Very well maintained resort with very clean and comfortable rooms The buffets are very repetitive and the a la cartes are not waiting in line for as the quality is just average at best. The beach is nice to walk but the ocean is murky. The quiet pool is ok with a good bar and service.

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: best resort we ever stayed at!

Very clean and well staffed. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Food at a la cartes were amazing from beginning to end, buffets and snack bars well stock with an array of great food. Staff very approachable and appear content or happy at work. Trolley ran frequently, never a long wait. It had something for every one, quiet areas and more active area. We will definitely be coming back!

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Awesome!!

Awesome!! Love the resort! Clean accommodation, wonderful staff, fun activities! Have been several times and plan to go back. Would recommend to family and friends. Thanks for a wonderful time!! Already miss being there!

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Would Recommend

Can't think of anything to complain about! Loved having access to all of the resorts and the shuttle service was quick and often enough that it made frequenting each resort very convenient. The food was great, so were all of the employees.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Vacation

The only problem is the hot water, the rest is perfect. Very nice and helpful service, very clean and really wonderful greenery in the resort. Great appreciation for the fabulously colorful cakes. Thank you.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Great Resort

The staff at this resort are all amazing, super friendly and always wanting to help Rooms are large and clean, wonderfully large balconies Great bartenders! Food is good Only one thing they could work on is water pressure for the showers in the rooms Fantastic resort, will definitely return

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Third visit to El Portillo!!! Love it here!

I would say our 3 favorite things about this resort, is the proximity of ocean to pool and buffet..lol! The incredible , friendly staff, which means everything to me! The entertainment and relaxed, family inclusive activities on site!..I said 3 but the selection of good food probably should be number 3, atmosphere 4.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Beautiful Resort

The resort is nicely kept, good beach but not a very good access to the sea for the kids. A bit dissatisfied with the greyish colour of the water instead of the turquoise like in other Caribbean beaches. The food was great lots to choose from, staff very friendly. Overall good experience.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: A wonderful week with family at a great resort!

We have stayed several times at this resort! It is always beautiful, clean and the people are awesome! The resort is large which we love because we can run without leaving the resort! The beach is amazing! You can walk for ever on the beautiful white sand beach! The a la cartes were wonderful! There is lots to do if you want or you can relax and just enjoy the sun at either one of the pools or the beach. Loved it!

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Bahia Principe Luxury Runaway Bay

Beautiful resort & rooms very clean, surrounded by beautiful pools and lots of chairs..,very big resort.Staff go out of their way to accommodate you. We had a couple of little minor issues which were looked after right away. The beach area is not very big but if you walk down behind the Grand they have a beautiful stretch of beach. Food was good but very hard to get a la Carte restaurants booked upon arrival.,Carla Love in the front lobby (customer service/butler) was so amazing.. it was like sh [... read more]e was our best friend by the time we left.,she went out of her way when off duty to purchase a luggage lock which got broken. She started her shift early just to take the time to deliver the lock right to our room, and looked for us daily just to say hi and make sure had what we needed.. nightly entertainment was a little disappointing..we only went 2x which were good entertainers. Plenty of stuff happening around the main pool all day. All in all it was an enjoyable vacation.
