My fears of Mexico are gone. We had a great time at the Akumal !! The food, the room , the Zumba classes , the beach, the butler,the entertainment and the service staff was all excellent. Well done Bahia Principal Akumal!!!!

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Perfect escape from the snow!

We wanted to get away from the snow and sit on a beach; the firm beds and good food were a bonus! We were very happy with the resort minus the water pressure in the showers and the evening entertainment.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: all our needs were met! amazing!

Highly recommend! Thanks to Gail at trip central for all her help! My family had such a wonderful and super relaxing time! Wish we could have stayed for two weeks! Great food great service and no worries!Ola!

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: huge resort

the resort was very nice. stayed in the COBA section and only had access to the Tulum resort as well, not akumal as originally told. trams take you everywhere you want to go, including the beach. it's a great family resort, loud at the pools but fun.

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Nice resort

The ocean had a ton of seaweed which they tried to keep cleaned up but it was around you when you swam :( Pools were great. There were BUGS. We all had numerous bug bites so make sure you take lots of bug spray. Very friendly staff. Bathrooms are a bit outdated. Rooms are nice. Food was good.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Luxury Bahia Principe Akumal

This hotel gets a 5 tar or more fro me. I loved it there. The grounds, were done beautiful. My room was kept clean everyday. The food was great. One exception though. We went to the Italian resturant. There really was not alot of choosing on the menu. I found that there was only a buffet to get some pasta. When getting some, it was not cooked. I think they need a new cook. Otherwie the buffet for all meals was very good. A large varity to pic from.Everyone that worked there was always friendly a [... read more]nd helpful.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Three Thumbs Up

This was our second stay at the Luxury Bahia Principe Esmeralda in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Our last stay was two years ago. i brought my three children with me and we all enjoyed what the resort had to offer, from the gorgeous grounds, to the evening shows to the beautiful beach, the clean pools, the mini kids ping pong tournament, the free WiFi in the relaxing Lobby and most of all the friendly service from the staff at the resort. My children are still young but my oldest is at the age [... read more] where I was able to give him the freedom to go out on his own. I felt the resort was safe enough to do that and that gave me incredible peace of mind. Thank you Luxury Bahia Principe Esmerelda for another incredible memory. We are giving you "Three Thumbs Up"!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Large Group Trip

Hotel was nice, clean, but very large. I much prefer smaller resorts without all the different class/band types. Overall food was good, beach was beautiful, and resort was clean. Shows were fantasic. Only complaint is the size - way to big to relax.

Bahia Principe Explore Coba: Great Resort!!!

Overall the Grand Bahia Principe Coba lived up to and surpassed our expectations.We were guests in the Royal Golden section March 19-26, and upon arrival we were checked in fast and found front desk staff courteous and friendly.Our room was huge with a huge comfortable kingsize bed and large bathroom.We arrived late at night and much to our delight the buffet was open and the food was incredible.Our building was 24b which overlooked the adults pool and was situated close to everything.Staff was  [... read more]very friendly,expecially Abigail in the Golden Lounge and Andres in the Kukulcan Dining hall.The trollys that take you to different parts of the resort were fun and a fast way to get around,we really enjoyed the Hacienda Market .We also took the Collectivo (bus/van)into Playa Del Carman,which cost 70 pesos(about$5)per couple and came back about 10pm also on the Collectivo,it was great about a 30 minute drive and dropped us off at their station a 2 block walk to 5th avenue.The resort is huge,but there are lots of pools and activities to keep everyone busy,we loved the ampitheatre and the nightly shows.Our only disappointment was the large amounts of seaweed which drifted inward off the reefs,not allowing people to enjoy the beach as much as they would like...staff worked extremely hard gathering seaweed up with a frontend loader and rakes and bags,and derserve credit for this ,we enjoyed our last two days at the beach because of their hardwork...We would recommend the Grand Bahia Principe Coba to anyone,thanks for a wonderful stay!!!

Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana: Great family getaway!

Overall the hotel was fantastic! Positives: Good check in, nice rooms/amenities, beautiful beach, clean pools, large variety of food in buffet, and lots to do! Negatives: Lack of beach towels, lack of a-la-carte times, and 700+ drunk/rude S-Trip students.

Bahia Principe Explore El Portillo: Great Resort

- Beautiful hotel and very well maintained - Always clean - Great for kids, many activities to keep them busy and happy including a water park and a well run mini club. - Great resort for snorkeling right off the beach. Equipment is free to use each day from the water center right on the beach. - Staff were always attentive and friendly, especially when your friendly to them, unlike many arrogant people we saw on this trip. You get the respect you show! These people work hard to make you happy,  [... read more]show a little appreciation by being polite. - Rooms were very nice, we had a large room so not sure what the standard looks like but heard they are nice as well. - Food is what you expect in the buffet, average, it is a buffet after all! If you want high end 6 star meals then go to a high end 6 star resort. - A la carte restaurants we tried were great, especially the Brazilian. The other we tried was the Italian, better than buffet for sure. They also have seafood and gourmet restaurants. Easy to get reservations, was never much of a line up. - Never much of a line up anywhere for anything, staffed well everywhere. Again, if your expecting immediate service all the time then go to a resort that has a personal butler. Might help if you tip once in a while. - Hotel is only 30 minutes from airport and it is a beautiful drive to the hotel with fantastic views. - We did not do any off site excursions. Overall this hotel was great and we would go again. Sorry for all the angry comments but it drives us crazy how many people travel with unrealistic expectations and arrogant attitudes. If your a friendly person who just wants to have some fun and relax then you will enjoy yourself. Stayed March 2015, travelled with family

Bahia Principe Escape Sian Ka'an: Amazing Staff

The food is good. The staff is amazing. The rooms are very clean but we were unable to sleep. Our room was right next to the street. The house keeping knock's on your door even if you have a do not disturb sign on it. The beach was terrible and the location was challenging. Since we were not close to the beach, shuttling around all the time got old fast. If your the type that hangs around the pool and a deep sleeper, this hotel will be fine. We found Tulum to be a better hotel and much more conv [... read more]enient.

Bahia Principe Explore Akumal: Great Vacation... Would Definitely Return!

Overall it was a great vacation. Our travel agent Tracy Duffin recommended this resort to us and we are very happy she did. The grounds were beautiful and kept very clean. Our butler Andres was wonderful, he was very knowledgeable abut the hotel an surrounding areas. The beach was very nice, the unfortunate thing was there was quite a lot of seaweed washing up on shore, The hotel, although they worked very hard, could not keep up with the cleanup.

Bahia Principe Explore Esmeralda: Great resort for cost

Hotel grounds and amenities are beautiful. Lots to do as its a huge resort complex. Rooms and staff are very nice. Only reason not a 5 Star is that the food is just "OK", nothing fantastic. Beach is a bit rough for swimming but great to look at! TripCentral was great to deal with for booking. For what we paid - we were very happy with our entire experience.

Bahia Principe Explore Jamaica: Amazing... But

The hotel was simply amazing. It was very clean, the service was excellent and the staff was super friendly and extremely polite. We were warmly invited to a sales presentation for the 'privilege club'. The presentation was awesome however the pressure sales tactics was very distasteful. Being pressured to spend $3000-$4000 while on vacation without given time to think about it has left a very bad taste in my mouth. To recommend the hotel I would first warn my friends and family to avoid the pre [... read more]sentation.

Bahia Principe Escape Ambar: Great resort, food was boring

Very clean. Staff were great. A bit expensive for what you get. Looking forward in seeing the other Bahai resorts. |This was my second time to this resort. In the amber you are very close to the pool and beach

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: beautiful resort

Bahia Principe Grand Bavaro: Huge Resort with something for everyone

Beautiful Beaches, warm water and plenty of sun. Great food on a huge resort. Couple of things to watch out for: Mixed drinks are really sweet, resort pricing is extreme (sunscreen ($25 US), pool noodles ($21 US)). Standard bait and switch marketing is in play for various things and pictures are expensive. Aside from the watch items, if you like it hot and sunny this is definitely the place for you. Presidente beer is an 'acceptable' way to stay hydrated! We would bring the kids back for anothe [... read more]r tour of this beautiful resort.

Bahia Principe Grand San Juan: Great resort

This resort is 12 years old and has been renovated recently. Clean grounds with staff attending to them regularly all the time Food selection was ok but would recommend the ala carte resturants Rooms were a bit small compared to other Bahia principe resorts Located in remote part of DR
