Bahia principe runaway bay is a fantastic resort. The staff are fantastic and very hardworking. Beach staff are constantly raking up the beach and come and chit chat occasionally. They are so happy all the time. "I love my job" Couple of problems. Not enough bars on beach and not enough buffets. They had a fire in the Italian restaurant... More

One reviewer wrote that if you need something from the front desk it was impossible to get. I had this problem as well and witnessd a few other people getting... More

Spent a week at the resort. Loved our room 23706 in new section of hotel - bed was great! Travelled with co-workers. (Boss paid for our trip!) Some had rooms in the 14000 building. Not so good. They were close to entertainment stage and disco. Ba-boom! 'til 1:00 a.m. every night. The 23000 building is nice and quiet. My roomie... More

My husband and I went for a relaxing Caribbean getaway the end of January. We did the tours on a previous visit to Jamaica. This resort met all our expectations. We were friendly and courteous to the staff and they reciprocated. If you're looking for little things wrong you'll find them - at a resort or at home ! Go... More

The resort is beautiful but very large. The beach was very big and beautiful (sand was a little hard and rocky), but water and views were perfect. Good snorkeling right off of the beach... Hotel rooms were nice. Pool was nice, but it closed at 7:00pm! I was a little disappointed that there were no hot tubs. After going to... More

Clearly there are some mixed opinions, but I have stayed at very different kinds of all inclusive resorts (even in Jamaica) and this by far was the worst I have ever experienced. The positives = lovely, clean beaches; great pools, pretty scenery, good variety of food (but I've tasted much better) The negatives = the most unhelpful, disorganized staff I... More
