The service is 10/10 people who made our experience outstanding: Alexis at the Indian restaurant Anita in entertainment, she remembered everyone’s names and made people feel special. Melissa worked in buffet and the outdoor restaurant, we sat in her section and she always made us special drinks and was happy to see us everyday. Andre, Claude (?)and Genie in the Mediterranean restaurant, outstanding service! We had to move rooms because of noise level and the front desk was super accommodating and understanding. Shannale I’m guest services was on top of things making sure the room was up to standards. D’andre and Jurandy at the beach bar were awesome. Jurandy made the best icebergs around! D’andre checked in on us daily, we had the best conversations and he gave great recommendations, he was knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful and helpful. The guys at the beach who do not work for the resort but truly made an impact Jay, Dr. Slick, Doogle, Shawn, Malik, Swavey, and Smokey were friendly and also checked in on us daily to make sure we were comfortable and felt safe. The food was 10/10, the lady who made my eggs every morning would spot me and start my order before I said a word, sorry I didn’t write her name down but she’s from 9 mile. The people who work at this resort is what made the experience excellent. The rooms are outdated but kept VERY clean. The bar fridge was topped up daily and the room was cleaned once a day with turn down service daily. Service 10/10. The beach…bring water shoes for sure and a snorkel mask, we saw puffer fish, barracuda, needle fish, sea slugs, a yellow spotted ray and a gazillion other tropical fish. Bring lots of sunscreen too, saw lots of sunburnt people underestimating the Jamaican sun. First time for us and we are looking forward to returning. I’m super happy about choosing this resort.

We stayed a week in early May and I can honestly say the staff make the resort. From the perfect morning latte made by Erroll, to Petrinas non chalant singing and great service with a smile on the beach, Darius and the entertainment crew kept us energized and moving with dance and exercise and of course the fantastic chefs who kept the delicious jerk chicken fresh and tasty!! The rooms were clean, resort was beautiful, and although some werent impressed with the beach being man made it became my happy place with many cabanas and loungers available to enjoy the ocean view and some little fishies. Wear water shoes, there are sea urchins that can stab your feet hiding in the rocks. My only dissapointment would be that the pool bar service was slow, at times there would be 5 there, both bars lined off and they would hang out in the stairs and chat, ignoring patrons. The entertainment crew and DJ's kept people from getting bored while waiting. We will be back once it fully opens again.

Just back from our second trip to Bahia Principe escape so here goes it. Good: The staff we interacted with were great, friendly and professional. Did not have any issues at all. Room was kept very clean and housekeeping did a great job. Hotel area and beach were good, still some work being done but they’re still coming out of a major hurricane so that is to be expected. Didn’t have any issues finding beach loungers. Drinks at the bars and food at the reservation restaurants were great, no issues at all, had some great afternoons and evenings! Not so good: The food at the Jazmin buffet was a bit spotty, some dishes cold and some things undercooked but the Las Olas lunch buffet was always good. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back, going to be interesting to see what the other side looks like after renovations.
