Bahia Principe Explore Punta Cana

“Couldn’t have had better experience”

My first all-inclusive experience, and I was a little worried. However, I couldn’t have been more delighted.

My first all-inclusive experience, and I was a little worried. However, I couldn’t have been more delighted. My room was just lovely, the food was superb and could not be faulted with excellent choices every day . I chose to go to a smaller pool which was quiet., there were always beds available and towels . The shuttle surface up and down to the restaurants and beach was superb and worked perfectly.. the staff were exceptional and as helpful as possible. There was evening entertainment every night if you wished to join it. My only slight criticism, was that I found the à la carte restaurants acceptable but not as good as the buffet.

“Bahia grand principle Punta Cana”

This is an excellent place to visit, guest services are great entertainment is outstanding and food is beyond expectations. Madeline is great with entertainment, all staff great with dining and the bar staff makes excellent drinks……….but you have to come and visit yourself

“Not the same Bahia as in past years.”

The service is not what it use to be. I've been to the Bahia Principe 6 times and honestly this time the staff are not friendly. The maids are only interested in tips and not pay attention to detail like making sure that she replaced the towels with fresh ones. 2 times I was left with no towels wha… more

The service is not what it use to be. I've been to the Bahia Principe 6 times and honestly this time the staff are not friendly. The maids are only interested in tips and not pay attention to detail like making sure that she replaced the towels with fresh ones. 2 times I was left with no towels what so ever. Not even a face cloth was left in the room. Lucky for me i had taken 2 of my personal towels with me on this trip. The pop machines were always out of service at the last olas buffet. There always huge lineups at the pool bar and found that if you speak Spanish your chances are better to get served versus an English speaking individual. The pools were not cleaned daily. A few times I found plastic cups at bottom of pool .Renovations are being done on the bavaro side but perhaps they should try to reduce the number of people as its very crowded instead of renovating to bring more people. Will not be going back to this resort. Buffet at lobby very repetitive.

“Good Resort and worth a visit”

Firstly, this was our second stay at this hotel. You can book here and enjoy yourself. The weather here is fantastic and the beach is beautiful. The grounds are well kept and easy to get around. Ample shuttles if you need them. It was busy while we were here, but you can find places that are calm if that is your thing. Our room was recently renovated and very nice. Great AC, Ceiling fans and lots of lighting. Very clean and housekeeping services were good too. We paid 1600 CAN for our week, and feel good about the value. Not sure I would pay much more though. We brought teenagers with us and there was lots for them to do and see. They had a great time. Bars and restaurants were really nice. Staff were great, but not overly engaging. Went to the Nomad, the mongolian restaurant, and the staff there did the best job engaging our family. Kids loved it. Most of the main buffet staff were a bit dull and less interested in us and service. A big difference from our trip three years ago. Buffets were good. Lots of selection and variety. Only complaint is that they don't name anything. Tough if you have allergies or dietay restrictions. Staff at the pool bars were very fun. The smaller pool (the one not under renovation) was well staffed, and Ramon and Juan made kept no lines and were very friendly. The main pool near the beach is done well. lots of space so you can play and not be crowded. But, ...there is a huge shortage of shade around and in the pool. Especially in the pool. Most of our social time was spent in the pools and its tough if you are burning. Wave rider was fun - bit pricey, but kids had a blast. Things to consider - breakfast buffet by the beach. Not crowded - open air and nice view. We only found out about it day 5. Worth the walk.
