Had a great time here and hope to return. Exceptional facility...clean, madern and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The meals at the buffet..plentiful and a great variety...I would think anyone would find something they liked.The burger bar at the beach pool is a terrific spot to have breakfast and "stake your claim" for the day at the pool....

I want to start my review by saying I went with an open mind. I had read MANY reviews before I went. So here we go... The Good, If you think a carnival cruise is about as good as it gets, your going to love this place. If you think Disney isn't crowded in June & July, your going to... More

We stayed in the Bavaro section from Feb. 4-12. The grounds are very mature and well maintained. Staff are very nice, and the resort is kept very clean. Staff were always cleaning around the pool and beach area. Didnt have a problem with the language barrier, if someone couldnt understand me they would find someone who could. The resort was... More

We had a group of 8 staying at this resort. 3 of which had previously been to this resort a couple of years back. We were there from Feb 1st to feb. 11th. We stayed at the hacienda/diamond club suites and it was well worth the extra money to be close to the beach and having our own restaurant for... More

If you are looking to explore the Dominican Republic, and be at a resort with plenty to do, then look no further than Gran Bahia Prinicipe Bavaro! I'm a 22 year old female, and just came back from Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro with my boyfriend. We stayed in the Premier section which we knew was a bit of a walk... More

We travelled with a group of 6. Had an amazing time !! Can not understand why people complain so much. I am a fussy eater, but could always find something I liked. Recommend the Japanese and Steakhouse. Breakfast also was super..specialty omlettes as you wait. Resort was full, 7000 people but we never had to wait in line and no... More

We attended a wedding on the beach at this resort. That means we did not research this location, the bride and groom chose this resort and we where honoured to be involved. This is a beautiful resort. We have been coming to the Carribean for 25 years. There are many positive things to praise this location. I will mention a... More

This is by far the best resort or at least in the top 3. The beach is amazing, the selection of food is unforgettable. The staff in all areas were friendly, kind and always smiling. I would suggest staying at any part of the beautiful resort. More
