This is our third year at Grah Bahia. First two years was awesome, this year just average. They have changed the "rules" and they don't do a very good job of orienting you to that. They took away the private pool for Hacienda club upgrades and moved the restaurant from the Italian Rest to the Santa Fe restaurant for the... More

We came to the Gran Bahia Principe on two occasions. We first went in November 2010 along with 14 persons. We were wed there. The staff took care of every single details making that day so special and simply perfect. All the guests really enjoyed their stay. We returned my husband and I on November 2011. The staff was awsome.... More

First of all, let me begin by saying that Jimmy, from Bahia Principe Bavaro, our Apple concierge, was FABULOUS!!!!! My friends and I did a 5 red apple deal from Chicago to Punta Cana. We found out at the airport that we were going to the Bahia Principe Bavaro. When we arrived at the Bahia, they were overbooked. (No one... More

I JUST came back yesterday from the Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro..Before booking this trip I relayed on the reviews of others who have been to this resort. I was taken aback because of the amount of negative reviews and was quite honestly a little nervous to go. I booked the trip at this particular resort both because it ranked 34... More

Stayed August 11, really disappointed as i beleive this complex is by far larger than you can imagine and it certainally isn't advertised at being so huge, more like a holiday camp than a 5 star hotel, food hit and miss, Spanish, Japenese and Italian were the best with the buffet resembling a cattle market buzzing with flies. Rooms average,... More

We've been there one week at christmas 2011. I went to a lot of "all included" and this place was too big for me, too crowded and you need to use a shuttle to move from the beach to the lobby, a lot of shuttle passing in front of our room. The staff was not very friendly. The food is... More

Stayed Jan19-26 with our 11 year old daughter. Bavaro section. We are seasoned (10x), AI travellers. 1st time in Domincan. Pd $1000 per person, taxes in. We lucked out on the weather! Consistently between 26-29, windy, bit cloudy. The breeze was refreshing. Light jacket/sweater for the nights, no mosquitoes. Water rough but fun to body surf the waves. It did... More

Just returned from our trip that was booked through Apple and was VERY disappaointed with this place. The beach is way too far from the rooms, the food on the buffet was always cold (when it should have been hot!), the staff was not friendly, no one spoke any English, room attendant often forgot towels or bath mat and even...
