Just returned from a week at Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana. Before I left I read many reviews to see what I could learn about the resort and get some tips on traveling with a toddler. I was concerned when people either rated it 3 and under or a 5! The reviews were so mixed. Now that I’ve returned I... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here. Beautiful, clean hotel; friendly helpful staff; excellent selection of local and international cuiusine; a wide range of cocktails; nice large pools with ample space at the pool bars and many sun beds; and a large sandy - if slightly busy - beach. The icing on the cake - if you can get it -... more

My daughter and me went to this hotel GBP on the 28th July 2008. We landed in the Dom Rep to very hot humid weather adding to this we had a very long wait for our baggage, so we were very happy to get on the air conditioned coach to take us on the half hour journey to the hotel.... more

This resort is big! So big you don't feel the need to leave. Clean. The place is spotless. There had to be a dozen staff painting the place all day long from dawn till dusk. The landscaping beautiful. The staff, very friendly. Book your a la carte restaurants early, the day you arrive, they fill quick. With two young children... more

The hotel premises are beautiful. Very large hotel that is supposed to be a five star but they do not even have irons in the room. We had several problems during our stay and unfortanetly this hotel lacks custumer service. They do not address issues at all. First, check in was fine until we walked to our room. Big no... more

I don't understand the negative reviews! There were a few things that could have been better, but my boyfriend and I didn't mind, we were on vacation in paradise!! Check in on the bus ride to the hotel was great! No need to wait in line when we arrived! Two friendly bellboys drove us to our room and carried our... more

We just returned from a weeks vacation and had a great time! We loved the set-up of the hotel - it had the feel of a village and the landscaping wha beatuiful. The beach was so clean and the bars and restaurants were great. The food was not the best but there was a great variety so there was no... more

Horrible experience at Bahia Principe. Items and cash were stolen from our room and the hotel staff was absolutely no help whatsoever. We were blamed for not locking the items in the safe, and even accused about lying about the theft itself. I would not expect this kind of treatment at a 5 star hotel. more

Loved it. I have to say, the airport surprised me, as it looks more like a beach house, that an airport :) Being an European, the first and biggest impact I had was the tropical weather. Hot humid air all day and all night is not something I'm used to, and as soon as I put my nose outside the... more
