We went from August 1 - 8, 2008. Having been to the GBP in Mexico, we thought this GBP would be comparable. WRONG! I would give this resort a 2.5 Star, not 4. Customer Service. Close to non-existent. Most staff appeared to not like their job and were not friendly. Twice we requested in 2 separate rooms, wake-up calls. Neither... more

What can I say!? I dont know what people expect from hotels, but this was the best holiday I have ever been on (and i've been on a few)! Me and my family (husband and 2 daughters 12 + 15) had the most amazing time. Everyone was happy and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble for them. These people... more

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the Bahia Principe and I feel compelled to write!! The flight is very long and dull and First Choice airways make you pay an additional £5 each to watch the best films and play the best games but you do get others if you don't upgrade. You do need to pay for... more

This place is fantastic! We got out quite a bit and done lots of excursions. the island is breathtaking. Callaton beach a must see! The lobster there is delicious! I even got a couple of tours of the local towns from some of the locals. I had the time of my life. The people are amazing and the happiest you... more

I stayed at the Bahia Principe recently with my partner. We were a little concerned prior to going here due to reading some negative reviews but decided that we should make our own minds up and put any bad reviews to the back of our minds. Initially the resort appeared to be fabulous, the bar staff, animation team, and food... more

My b/f and I returned from Dom Rep on 14th July having spent the MOST FANTASTIC two weeks at the Bahia Principe. I cannot praise the hotel staff enough for their "genuine" friendliness and dedication to the jobs they do. A special thanks goes to Eddy, he was always there with his jugs of coffee+milk at breakfast. The only problem... more

I went with my husband's family in June of 2007 and had a lovely time. The weather was beautiful at some point every day. Only rained 2 times during the day at the start of our vacation and the day we left. Otherwise sunny skies throughout. We arrived late at night to check in and we were driven to our... more

Just returned yesterday from this hotel having stayed there for two weeks with my 13yr old daughter. We had a fine time with fabulous weather. No issue with the hotel which was clean and well kept and service was (almost always!) with a smile but we all have our off days, I know I do. Most of the staff work... more

Cannot believe there are negative reviews about this resort. We stayed for 2 weeks at the start of july and it was fantastic. We were booked in on the bus and our bags were taken straight to our room, there were 3 of us but only 1 bed, when we reported this to reception they had a bed delivered and... more

Hi there, me and my girlfriend arrived back from bahia san juan this morning and felt we had to let people know urgently the problems we had. We have been reading the reviews on here for last couple of months before going and were a little worried after some of them, anyway we arrived on the 13th of july and... more
