We travelled to Jamaica June 7th-17th, 2013, and stayed at Gran Bahia Principe. The resort itself is great, the front lobby and terrace were very enjoyable. Our check in was quick and our room was good, overlooking the ocean.The room decor was basic, but it was always clean, the AC worked well, and we got our mini bar restocked every... More

I've also went to Dominican staying at Riu Palace and I have to say this resort falsely advertises their resort as a 5-star and all inclusive. As far as I know, all inclusive means all drinks and food are free... More
