We stayed at the GBP, Premier section, from Feb 4 until Feb 11. Travelled from Calgary through Sunquest/Thomas Cook. 11 PM deprature. Flight was relatively uneventful. 5 AM breakfest served, not very good. Tourist cards are included in the price of vacation, which cost 10 dollars per person. Unfortunately on our flight they ran out of cards and a number... More

Hello again! This was our 2nd time staying at the GBP in Punta Cana. We had previously gone 3 years ago, but got an entire week of non-stop rain and hurricane-like weather. We figured that we would try this resort again as we felt that we didn't get to see much of it a few years ago. Having stayed in... More

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Principle Premier from Jan.6-13. We are in our late 50's and take two or three all inclusive trips a year. We flew Thomas Cook Ruby Service and were very happy with all details regarding the staff and the flight. Our flight arrived in Punta Cana on time. The check in was quick and we... More

We stayed here for 2 weeks last December over the holidays. We upgraded to the Diamond section which was basically a section closer to the beach onto which they had pasted a Diamond sign. Having been to umpteen AI's over the years, we were not expecting much in terms of food but the food and the service was quite good... More

My girlfriend and I are from Victoria, BC, Canada, and we are used to the absence of smoking in all public areas for the most part. While we expected some smoke when we came down here, we weren't ready for the amount of smoke we experienced. At least in the Club Premier lobby there were less tables, so there was... More

Stayed from Nov 16-23. The Premier is NOT premium (compared to rest of resort). It's just a bit cheaper and further away from the beach. If you've been to this resort before (like I was) and are lucky to get a slick concierge, he may choose to upgrade your bracelet so you can eat in all buffets (instead of just... More

Rooms are big and very clean. Pools are huge and very clean. Service is great. Very friendly. Food is good. Beer and wine were not good. Stick to pure Rum or any drink containing Rum. Excursion to Catalina Island was great. No room service. More
