We had a great time at this resort and came back to Montreal with a great tan and a relaxed mind. We booked with Voyages Bergeron, the option Royal Golden (villa close to the beach, bottle of rhum in the room and VIP check-in). Travelled with Air Transat without a single complaint. The resort is HUGE and it took around... More

Upon arrival, was told that we never booked the top floor King bed room..so they sent us to the end of the resort to a bottom floor room, 2 double beds, in the smoking area. After fighting with the manager for 1/2 an hour, our room was "magically" available...even with paperwork they still tried to tell me I didn't book... More

We are very grateful we were able to escape the cold weather and get some R and R. We travelled with sunquest through west jet. The plane was 2 and a half hours late due to motor problems. No food served while waiting and none left even to purchase. That made for over 9 hours before we had a meal.... More

This resort may at times scare you by its vastness, but after just one day, keeping in mind that at one end is the beach and the other is the main lobby its impossible to get lost. this resort is exception in its cleanliness and the staff no matter where you went were more than accomodating and made you feel...

Got off to a bad start... The lady at the front desk offered me an upgrade for 50$ a night. i declined. She then said...howabout you give me 20 bucks, and i'll give you the upgrade anyway. I wanted to make it special for my gf for her first tropical trip so i agreed and slipped her a 20. She... More

We would have to mirror the previous report of this resort. It is not able to handle the 7,000 people. The grounds, rooms,pool,lobby and beach are beautiful it is unfortunate that finding a place to sit or even walk around between the loungers is a real obstacle course. One huge problem is the bathroom by the main pool usually has... More

We went Jan 27th. We were the Canadians with our balconies decorated with Canadian Flags. I feel it takes about 3 or 4 days to know where your going at this resort. Do I like it...yes...good food...clean rooms....little things like only two beers in our fridge a day...ice buckets in room but no machines...but hey we can live with that.... More

Our family just returned from spending a week at the Bahia Principe Punta Cana. This was our third trip to the resort. Sadly, we doubt that we will be back. There are a LOT of great things about the resort (obviously - why else would we have gone so often?) - the resort however has grown to such monster proportions... More

My husband and I and our two teenaged sons spent one week at this resort, from Jan 28 to Feb 4/12. It's very well kept-up. Our rooms were very clean and well maintained and the people were always out on the grounds working on things, fixing, washing down the walkways, etc. The food quality at the buffet was good. We...
