The only reason why I am giving this resort any stars, is because of the staff in the Hispaniola Buffet, the Trapiche Buffet, Focaccia Restaurant, and a few of the waiters/waitresses in the lobby area. The front desk/reception area is horrible, they have no idea what is going on in the hotel, they never have any information, and god forbid anyone in the front desk smiles, it's so morbid to be in that area. The day we arrived, we asked about Covid testing, we were told by the front desk, that no appointment was necessary, we would just need to take the test two days before we leave. The cleaning staff that is supposed to clean your room, does the bare minimum, change towels and change bed sheets, that's it, and no manners whatsoever. One morning, they knocked at my door, this was around 8:30 am, I opened the door and this lady says she's here to clean the room, and pushes past me, I told her to wait that we are still sleeping, there was a do not disturb hanger on the door. The staff in the remaining restaurants suck and they were rude. We were on a family vacation, there was 17 of us, and we knew that it would take a while to get orders down and so forth, but to roll your eyes when you're taking the orders is horrible. This happened every night. The hotel looks like it was built in 3 months, it was rushed, there was plaster every where, on the toilet doors were the size of the doors written in black sharpies, the look of the room was not designed clean, which was another disappointment from the photos online. This beautiful fountain they show on their website to showcase there lobby, was completely underwhelming, and the water was green with filth. During all of this we are making the best of it, beautiful sun, nice weather, with my family and having drinks. Finally the day of the COVID test comes up, we didn't want to take a chance of showing up late, so we arrived at the office at 7am as per the directions of the front desk. When we got there, we kept knocking on the door, after ten minutes a young woman opens the door, half asleep and asks what's the matter, we explained that we needed to take the COVID test, since we are leaving on Sunday, she said they are closed and for us to come back at 9 am, I asked her if we needed to make an appointment and she said no. So, we went for breakfast, and took the trolley back to the office, it was around 8:45 am, we saw a line of about 15 people. So I asked them if they were online for the covid testing, they said yes. Then I heard yelling, another guest stated that they have to wait on this line to make an appointment for the test. This was news to us, so I went back to the office while my family waited in the line, and I asked the doctor who was there now to see if this was in fact true, did we need to wait in this line to make an appointment, and he said yes. So we are waiting, the staff to take the appointments do not show up until 9:30am, now mind you we have a buggy excursion booked for 11am, this was the slowed moving line I have ever been on, we missed the excursion, waited in the line for 2.5 hrs to make the appointment. However, the appointment was made for 9:30am Saturday, we ended up having to do a Rapid test due to the new US Mandates. So we get the testing room at 9am (not wanting to take any chances), there was about 10 people ahead of us, the staff doesn't show up until 9:30am (why have hours that state 9am-1pm?), in any case, this woman probably asked us 15 times if we needed to make an appointment, and we kept telling her that we already have an appointment. They put everyone on the same line, every thing and every one was so disorganized. My wife goes into the appointment office and explains that we are waiting to take the Rapid Test, then they inform us that we have to pay $35/test and its cash only, finally after an 1 hour and 45 minutes, we completed our test. All of this was took away from our vacation. The day we checked out, they allowed you make your appointment on line via their app. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL. STAY AWAY OR BOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK.…

The hotel is quite nice but the service is really bad, i was forced to write my first review about this hotel while i was on the beach from the animation team, the animation team is not respecting the privacy of the guests, they keep coming to you everyday and inviting you to games although you made it clear you’re not interested. At the restaurants, the chef whose grilling the meat is not interested about your saying, you kindly ask about medium done meat and they burn it for you! They also smile only to girls, once i was standing and waiting on the row, the chef totally ignored me to serve the girl behind me although i told him its my turn now. In the main restaurant, they always close parts of the restaurant although a lot of people are standing and there is no place for them to sit. At steak house restaurant, i have waited for 30 min for my turn to enter the restaurant and then i was waiting for the waiter to take my order for another 30 min seeing him taking the order of three people who came after me (one of them even started eating while im still waiting for my order to be taken). There is a big mess with the services and the staff. The room AC is not working properly, i couldn't sleep normally during my whole vacation its either really cold or really hot, it was changing by itself. The room wasn't cleaned on a daily basis, although i called many times to guest services and asked them to clean my room on a daily basis but they even hang up the phone on my face. The owners of the hotel really need to pay attention to those details because its a game changer for the hotel. And please do not go and force people to write good comments about the hotel because this is cheating and lying to people.…

Stayed there for 3 nights and 4 days. I had a great vacation and I would recommend to my friends. But there are definitely some things that can be improved as a 5-star hotel. Pro : 1) Food is great(a lot of options and delicious, drinks are included as well), 2) Beach bars, sun beds, etc. awesome 3) the beach is beautiful and well taken cared of. (they clean the pool and seaweeds in the beach everyday) Con : Everything is great until you encounter problems... 1) I requested one queen-sized bed but got a double single beds. Asked to change but said there was non available 2) Cleaning service can be improved. They will clean your room everyday but I think they only make the bed and clean the floor. There were still hairs left in the bathroom and unorganized towels, etc. 3) There were some personal items I forgot to bring such as toothpaste, brush, etc. I asked if there was toothpaste at reception/information 4 times but I NEVER got it or heard back from them. They only said, they will ask housekeeper in my zone to bring it to me but they never did and never explained to me where I could buy it.…

Just returned yesterday from a great week at the Grand Bavaro Princess. The renovations have made this resort even more appealing then before. We were platinum and the option's added make it more appealing to go this route. The platinum check in was fast Juan is an absolute pleasure to deal with and the attached buffet for breakfast & lunch was a great place to have a quieter meal than the main buffet and beach buffet at the steakhouse. The platinum pool although small was a hit and the PBG bar above this area was a great place to have a drink after dinner. Luis there is one of the hardest working guys at the resort. He made the drinks and when necessary he was out taking orders to ensure no one had to wait too long no matter how busy. Always had a smile on his face and one of the most personable approachable people here. He deserves the accolades. The guys at the platinum beach bar are still a happy personable group as we have come to expect. Great workers and people. The added restaurants have been the best additions with so many choices available and when platinum can reserve on the app on your phone. A bit disappointed now the steakhouse has only 1 steak available without additional charges however it is a good steak and the meat medley was excellent so it was not a total disappointment lol. Tanuki (Teppanyaki) is always a great entertaining meal. Never disappoints. Focaccia restaurant is a primarily pizza restaurant and the pizzas were as my lovely wife said fantastic and I would agree. Many choices and served fresh and hot. The PBG grill by the platinum pool served a great burger thick hot and well done. Another hit with my lovely. The soho lobster was good as always although we did top up that meal at the main buffet lol. The main dinner buffet has so many choices you will always find something to satisfy your hunger. Hacienda (mexican) was a decent meal. Not great but certainly decent. The Rebels snack bar was the only disappointment food wise. I ordered a 1philly cheesecake and what I got was a bun with a couple of pieces of philly on it..no cheese and no peppers or anything else lol.My wife had the Quesadillas and it was a small one cut into 4 pieces. Good place for a snack perhaps. Beach The platinum beach was as always a great place and yes I was up by 6-6;30 and got a bed however by 9 there were the odd singles if you searched which some people are right are left empty for the better part of the day. We used ours right after breakfast from 8:30 or so until after lunch and left it for others. We did see a young people come in around 11am and speak to security people about a bed which had a table and towel on it but had not been used and they were nice enough to remove the table and towels for them so they obviously will help if asked. The main beach seemed to have chairs available most of the time we walked past. We went to the main lobby bar a few times and service was quick and pleasant. The food trucks seemed to be a hit. Burgers fries etc. Located by El Gaucho on the beach. There is an ice cream truck open in the evenings in the main lobby area. In closing this resort remains our happy place and the renos have only added to that and rest assured if you go regular bungalow suite or upgrade to platinum you will not be disappointed.…

Solys and Evelin did a fantastic job with Spanish lessons for a group of 8 . They taught us the basics of what we can say to interact with the staff and other folks. They were so kind to the little girl who was eager to learn. Evelyn warmly approached us at the beach and invites us to join her. So polite and kind. They engaged us and taught us and allowed us to try out out our accents! I highly recommend these lessons.
