Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Best week

This hotel does not lack for anything. The food was incredible. The rooms were quite comfortable. The beach, the beach is absolutely amazing with lots of chairs and lots of shade. As well, the beach you can walk for miles either way. There is not more you could ask for from this resort if you want a relaxing holiday where you are greeted with smiling faces whether it’s morning noon or night this is the place to be.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great Time

The hotel is about 50 mins to 1hr 10mins from Tulum Airport. We stayed at bldg 24A and were close to lobby, a la carte and buffet restaurants. Secondary pool, no entertainment, was right beside us which we liked as quiet and relaxing and lots of chairs to choose from around the pool. The beach is a 10-15mins walk or a short golf cart ride away. Look for the white/blue chairs on beach beside the small dock. Sea floor is mostly rocky so bring watershoes, but sand on the right side of dock if look [... read more]ing toward ocean by the white/grey beach chairs. Food was great for us, but everyone has different tastes. We did the Mashua Nikkei, Le Gourmet and Mikado a la carte and they were all delicious in my opinion. Manuel at the teppanyaki show was great! Will definitely look to staying here again of visiting Mexico in future.

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Beautiful resort

The room was spacious with lots of storage and cupboard space. The ocean view balcony was the highlight! Loved sitting out in morning enjoying a coffee. Food was good but we were disappointed that the Italian restaurant is no longer operating. Also the Sunset bar has been closed. The beach seemed smaller than it appeared on YouTube videos that we had watched. We found the days to be long as there were no activities offered. Lots of different areas on the resort to relax and read. Staff are extre [... read more]mely helpful and friendly. Lots of stairs which might present a difficulty for some. Perfect resort if you just want total relaxation.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Beautiful resort!

This resort is beautiful maintained landscape. The pool is very clean and the staff are always there to make sure no glasses or garbage are laying around. There are always many available chairs around the pool which provide sun or shade. The only complaint that I have is that it is quite a walk to the beach. If you have small children or mobility issues you must take the trolley. If you are looking for a wide sandy beach this is not the place for you. Once in the water you better have wat [... read more]er shoes. It is rocky and uneven. Since it is almost always rough, you cannot see the bottom to look where you are stepping.

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: A nice relaxing destination

This is a very nice resort. Small, only about 150 rooms, very close to the ocean so you can have the surf lull you to sleep if you choose. It was an hour drive from the Sumana airport. Our room was in the smaller separate building. Our room was well appointed and clean with a balcony looking out over the ocean. The elevator was out of order for the first few days but the staff brought our bags up for us and it really wasn't an issue. The grounds are lovely and nicely landscaped. The prope [... read more]rty has several stair cases and would not be suitable for people in wheelchairs or with severe mobility issues, although there were folks with walking sticks and canes who seemed to manage. The pool area was very nice with lots of lounges so it was never necessary to "reserve" or "hold" a chaise lounger. There was music playing at the pool and was not too invasive most of the time. I expect if I had asked it would have been turned down to a lower volume. There was no animation or games around the pool side and it made for a relaxing atmosphere. There really is little to do at the hotel, but relax in one of the seating areas or around the pool, or on the beach. I might have enjoyed a game of bingo or something in the afternoon to break up the day, but it would need to be somewhere away from the pool area as to not disturb the other guests. There were musicians playing at the lobby bar most evenings from 8-10pm and some of the guests enjoyed some spontaneous dancing to the music. There was a small gym on the premises with some good universal weight machines, treadmills, boxing stuff, and yoga mats. I would have liked a thicker gym mat to do exercises on but there was enough stuff there to get in a work out. We were warned not to walk out of the property on the road, and we were disappointed as we like to explore. There was good reason for the warning as the road has no sidewalks or even shoulders and the traffic is busy enough to make it dangerous to walk. We saw no one walking on the road, not even the local people. For $20US each way you could order a cab to the nearest town, which was the port for cruise ships and geared to tourists. The road can be noisy, as it is a main road with all types of traffic during the day, including large trucks, but we had an ocean view room and it was not an issue for us. The wine included at the buffet was quite bitter/sour to me and I wouldn't recommend it. The wine in the a la cart restaurants was very nice. There was one bar open all day, either near the pool area or in the lobby. These were never too busy. The biggest concern we had was with the temperature of the food on the steam tables in the buffet. For the first 5 days most of the food was not in the safety zone where bacteria cannot grow."Hot foods should be held at 140°F or warmer. On the buffet table, keep hot foods hot with chafing dishes, slow cookers and warming trays. Cold foods should be held at 40°F or colder." We noticed that most of the guests were keeping away from the cooked meat dishes on the buffet and this could have been the reason. The was a grill at all times and so you could get freshly cooked omelettes at breakfast and cooked to order fish and meats at dinner. Except for the concerns above, there was a good assortment of nice food at every meal, and we never had any stomach issues. We enjoyed our stay, as I said it is a very nice, quiet hotel. The staff were attentive and nice to deal with. There were no drunk or obnoxious guests, there were people who were seniors and younger people as well. It was quiet at night, and a nice to place to chill out.

Bahia Principe Escape Samana: Not amazing

Clean hotel/Always hot water/Tub and shower combination/Would have preferred walkin shower/Lush gardens/Friendly staff/Noisy road beside resort/No activity staff/Very quiet resort/Many stairs/Anyone with mobility issues this resort is not for you/ Food was never hot always lukewarm/Definitely not 5 stars

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: BP Ambar was a great resort

The resort grounds, beach and pool were all outstanding. Ambar guests have access to everything at all resorts, except their buffets. Food was very good. Staff keep beach and pool clean. Beds were a bit uncomfortable.

Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine: Beautiful Grounds

We have been to BP Ambar Bouganville Esmeralda and Aquamarine 7 different times. We wrote them asking for a certain room and to say it was our anniversary trip and got nothing while many people did. The resort is getting old and tired. Entertainment is good. At the buffet it was hard to find a clean table and for some reason never had teaspoons, had to ask. Food was ok not like it used to be before Covid. The lobby bar has 2 coffee machines with excellent choice of coffees. The lobby bar ca [... read more]n get quite busy due to bartenders joking around and singing. It’s quite entertaining but not when there’s 20 people in line, I could see everyone getting frustrated. They used to put coasters under your drinks but I guess they cut back. Having a cold drink and water dripping from glass onto your clothes. Bring bug spray, came home with dozens of bites. I saw many people with bites.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: No Complaints

There was an ample selection of food, whatever your diet might be. If you are a vegetarian, you might not enjoy the Greek restaurant as they have a very limited vegetarian menu. The other restaurants were great. The grounds were immaculate. Everywhere, employees were raking, cleaning glass and tending to customers. On either side of the resort were long stretches of beach, perfect for walking. I chose this place because I wanted to snorkel off of the beach. There were many rocks, and one cou [... read more]ld see brightly coloured fish. Unfortunately, the water was often silty, which blurred the view through my mask. There are strong currents within the protected swimming area, so one needs to be careful. The entertainment crew led a variety of fun activities. The music was almost always on, but if you wanted a quieter area, there was another pool, much smaller, where one could have a quiet escape. I discovered a lovely little park with swinging chairs, a small pond with waterfalls and then a boardwalk across the creek. The hotel doesn't own most of this creek, but it would be to the hotel's and the environment's advantage if they cleaned it up and developed it as a walking/hiking area. The creek must attract all sorts of interesting wildlife. It was fun to spot the different types of birds and vegetation. Some of the tall trees were labelled as perhaps they were unusual. The small cats running around were enjoyed by many children and adults. Here, I think it would be very helpful if they caught the male cats and sterilised them.

Bahia Principe Escape Runaway Bay: Good time

Had a good time with my friends we eat lots chilled my the beach and I even won an Ironman competition that got me a bottle of rum. I’d say only thing is the staff were rude to my friends and while most were great some didn’t care

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Trip to Punta Cana Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana

It was so nice to unwind and rejuvenate after a very stressful quarter of my job. Kevin was very helpful in sending us the required information of what was required and information details on the resort we chose. It was a last-minute interaction we received the information pertinent to our destination of choice. The hotel itself was lovely the grounds well kept, a 4-star review. I've traveled to Turks & Caicos, Bahamas, but was looking for a reasonable all-inclusive, trip with nice beaches good  [... read more]weather, and good food. The grounds were impeccable, rooms were decent, the pool was great, beach was nice, but for this resort possibly due to previous weather events very narrow and busy. Walking a couple of minutes, beach widens with more room. Ocean was beautiful, but I would pick a different location next time based on two things. Comfort and surroundings on the beach and mosquitoes. I was fine the first half of the trip but have several bites that are causing me a grief, and I am from Northern Ontario home of mosquitoes and blackflies lol. We managed but based on these two factors would choose a different resort. Food was good we managed to find something we liked everyday. Much better than Cuba! Great job for giving us the necessary paperwork we needed to enter Dominican but better customer service in giving reviews and a more personal review or extra effort on showing the pros and cons and personal reviews was needed.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Beautiful resort!

This is an absolutely amazing resort. The rooms were as stated, large & clean. The service was great. We had a problem with our safe and someone came within 5 minutes to help us. Always had clean towels, fridge was stocked daily. The main buffet was huge, clean and had wonderful friendly staff. We ate at a different restaurant every night and every one of them was fantastic. Beach and all the pools were great. The infinity pool was our favorite. Can't say enough about this resort. We loved it.

Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville: Amazing Resort

Wonderful resort in all ways, staff were helpful, happy and lots of fun. Grounds were kept very clean, food was excellent. Enjoyed a la carte restaurants - easy to book! Felt completely safe walking to golf course etc. Golf course in great shape - all round great vacation! Beach wasn’t great but we knew that before booking and prefer poolside.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great Vacation

The Resort is Beautiful with the Grounds kept immaculate. Wonderful Beach, Great Pools, Great Service and Friendly Staff always willing to help out if you need anything.Hardworking Staff. Excellent Coffee Shop to grab your morning coffee or Latte.

Bahia Principe Explore Turquesa: Horrible experience

During my stay I got food poisoning from their restaurants due to the food not being cooked properly and poor handling of the food by it not being cleaned and washed properly. I reported this 3 times to the front desk and guest services and was never compensated nor provided any medical attention or assistance. I was only given club soda and water that’s it. They took down my information but never filed it into the system. In addition to my poor experience we, as a young coloured couple were rac [... read more]ially discriminated due to our age and skin colour by given poor seating at the back of all the restaurants, poor service that the staff were acting obnoxious and rude and not respectful unlike the Caucasian elder people who came from European countries. I require compensation for the food poisoning that I obtained during my stay that I missed out over 4 days of vacation that I spent over $3000.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Excellent resort!

Staff is professional, food is top notch at buffet as well as at the a-la-carte restaurants. Grounds are well maintained and rooms are in good condition. Pools are clean and lots of sunchairs available. Beach is a little far away but the trolley service is very good. We knew this ahead of time as there is another resort (Akumal) between Coba and the beach.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Beautiful Resort

I would highly recommend the Bahia Principe Luxury Ambar. The resort and the grounds are beautiful. The staff at the resort very helpful and friendly. If you had a concern the would rectify the problem . The beach goes forever. It is kept very clean. Just a gorgeous place to stay and would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for arranging this holiday.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Fantastic Resort

The room was clean and spacious. The a la carte restaurants served various and delicious meals with such magnificent presentation and terrific service. There were always workers cleaning and landscaping and the grounds showed their results. The entertainment team worked their butts off and made everyone feel included.

Bahia Principe Explore La Romana: Great resort

As usual, rooms were spotless but dated and had very low water pressure in the shower which we were told was the entire resort. Food at main and beach buffets was excellent. Every night was a different theme and lots to choose from. Never a problem finding chairs either at the beach or by the pool. Lots of shade. Water in the ocean was murky due to the river close by. Not the blue you would normally expect. Lobby was massive with tons of places to sit and grab a coffee or a drink. Overal [... read more]l the resort was nice and we would go back.
