We attended a wedding on the beach at this resort. That means we did not research this location, the bride and groom chose this resort and we where honoured to be involved. This is a beautiful resort. We have been coming to the Carribean for 25 years. There are many positive things to praise this location. I will mention a... More

This is by far the best resort or at least in the top 3. The beach is amazing, the selection of food is unforgettable. The staff in all areas were friendly, kind and always smiling. I would suggest staying at any part of the beautiful resort. More

The service and the food were amazing. Special mentions for Roman at Marias restaurant. Filay and Enrique at Il Pescatore and Linda at the lobby bar. They really helped to make this a memorable vacation. More

I'm not a world traveler, but my stay at the Bavaro was the poorest experience I ever had. Poor service, poor specialty restaurants, drinks were terrible, entertainment was amateurish the 3 nights I saw it. It's just to big of a resort w/ 3000 room. We were about 1 1/2 miles away from the beach. I would not go back... More

1st time to the Dominican Republic = SUCCESS!! I've travelled before, but this was beyond anything else!! Excellent food. A la carte menus were very good (book early they fill up fast, and go back to check for cancellations, this is done in the lobby on the buffet side). I had a chance to eat in both the Mexican and...

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana from Feb 1 - Feb 5. We transfered there after a horrific beginning at another resort. When we arrived we were welcomed by the Golden Club personel, and given access to the resort while our room was being prepared. Although the property is huge, it was easy to navigate with the...

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
