This site is absolutely huge. We loved the enormousness of the resort and with a great shuttle system in place it was no big deal. We stayed in the 32 building which is right in the middle, so it was perfect. The restaurants were absolutely amazing and rivalled anything that the Sandals chain has to offer. The beach was second... More

I stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro for one week in April 2013. The resort itself was enormous, which was expected based on reviews. The resort was beautifully landscaped, extremely clean and despite the size, it was easy to get around (straight forward for walking or shuttles passed by every 5-7mins). Reservations at the a la carte restaurants definitely... More
