After reading many negative reviews for the Gran Bahia Principe in La Romana I was very sceptical about going. This was the best vacation I have ever had! The hotel was so clean, food was excellent (something for everyone), the housekeepers spoke french ( a first for me), and amazing....you don't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning... More

Just came back from La Romana. We stayed at the Bahia principe. Overall it was ok. If your looking to relax and veg at the pool than this is the place to be. If your a beach person as I am, you will be disappointed. Water is merky a greenish colour. Not turquoise as in pics. We found out later... More

As with all Gran Bahia Principe resorts, the grounds are exceptionally clean and well maintained. When I go on vacation to the Caribbean, I expect the water to be crystal clear and the sand to be fine and soft. NOT AT THIS LOCATION! The beach (which apparently is close to a river) is absolutely horrible. The water is brown, much... More

We travelled as a group of 22, The pool water was cold and so were the showers. All 22 people in our group were very sick vomiting and the runs. Alcohol is not the reason as some of us do not drink. The zip lining trip was to be a half hour bus ride, but ended up being three and... More

Stayed Jan 30-Feb 6/12. Service was excellent. Always a friendly face cleaning and/or serving. Exceptional food for a buffet. Many choices and well cooked. A-la-carte was not all it is cut out to be. It is very elegant and the food is well presented if you are looking for a 'served' meal although the salad and desert bar was buffet.... More

Nobody I know got sick. Our safe wasn't working but they fixed it ASAP and Air Canada Vacations people get the safe for... More

The villas, rooms, beach where very nice but the service and food weren't the greatest. Btw the water was very very murky. Management was also horrible if something goes wrong you are on your own. More
