We recently returned from the Bahia Principe in Rio San Juan. This was our fifth time to a resort in Puerto Plata but our first time to the Bahia Principe. We were extremely disappointed with their accomodations. The first room we were given had a broken lock, broken safe, no air conditioning, phone did not work etc etc. They offered... more

Just returned from 2 week holiday at Bahia Principe San Juan. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and found the complex really lovely. The room we had was excellent, spacious, spotless and really comfortable - couldn't fault it. We visited the a la carte restaurants but to be honest, found the buffet restaurant better.

The beach is great and well cared for but the water is a little murky and not the greatest for seeing anything snorkeling. There are a... more

On arrival at Samana airport went thru immigration and paid 10dollars entry, airport clean also the toilets. Coach transfer to BP bit bumpy, due to potholes in the road, took about 1hr 30mins. drinks on arrival, cases took to rooms, reception staff very friendly. Rooms spacious, and clean, nicely furnished, huge comfy bed. clean sheets, and towels every day. Powerful... more
