First time here and I was not impressed. Beach is overcrowded. If you are a non smoker, definitely do not come here. People smoked everywhere witnout restrictions. Staff was rude. They don’t smile or acknowledge you. I will not come here again.

Thank you for taking the time of sharing your opinion with us which we will take in the highest consideration. Regards from Punta Cana! Adriana Peguero Bahia Principe Bavaro Resort
Successful girls trip!!!!
We just returned from a 6 night stay at Bahia Principle Bavaro. This place was very nice. We had stayed at the Amelia before and some quick differences that we noticed were that even though this resort is big, the pools were more centrally located to rooms so you didn't have to go clear down to the beach to use the pool. We were taken care of from the minute we got there. Our flight out of Atlanta was delayed 8 hours but the check-in at 4:30am still happened in less than 30 minutes (Melia took us an hour plus!). They also had food 24-hours a day, which the Melia didn't.
There are different levels so make sure you chooose the one that fits your liking. Next time (and yes, there will be a next time!) we will go to the Adults Only area. There were a lot of kids which didn't bother me; however there seemed to be more activities poolside at the Adult Only areas. IF you bring your kid(s) - make sure you don't drag them to the bar with you late at night. Saw plenty of that...just not okay at anytime!
The swim-up bartenders and also lobby bartenders are busy but just a smile or quick conversation would make things more of a better environment. They would also make more tips!
The food was good - could always find something we liked. One egg maker and pasta maker (sorry, can't remember their names) but they were the best! Always had a smile and loved what they do!
Thanks for the great experience - we will be back!!!

Beautiful place, amazing time
I am not sure why some people have any complaints about this hotel, but I couldn't have asked for anything better. The food was great especially the steak house, the pools and beach were perfect, rooms were clean comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Any thing we needed we had. Highly recommend this hotel and cannot wait to go back some day.

Tile floor, which is fine but dirty. The room itself, very dusty. Bathroom mirror stained. Terrible lighting. Had to call lobby 3 times to get a technician to room to re program safe. Safe not included in "all inclusive " rate.

Two Star - More negative than positive
Pros:
The grounds are nice and the children's area is good.
Cons:
Need to reduce the size of the resort to more manageable levels. It is just too big.and booked heavily
Location:
Grandchildren enjoyed swimming with the sharks and manta rays.
Spent a week at the beginning of February. Have stayed in the complex two previous times. IMHO the hotel has gone down hill until would only give it a 2 star rating. The grounds and the outward appearance is still good but the room quality is less than previous trips over a six year period. Went as a family with six people ranging in age from 3 to mid 70"s. In one room the minibar was not working and the bathroom ceiling, was leaking from the unit above. But probably the greatest disappointment was the food quality which seemed to be recycled always from the previous day .Both my grandson and I came down with food poisoning from offerings at the super bowl party. When I first came to the resort six years ago the workers went out of their way to provide good service especially if you were leaving a small tip of even a dollar. Now they seem to feel their tips for anything should be $5 to $10 dollars.The resort tries to meet everyones needs and as a result is meets none It is too huge and has lost its focus. You are herded like cattle from place to place. They need a new property manager!

Amazing Getaway!
This was our second time at The Grand Bahia Principe. Our first trip was in 2004 and the resort has definitely grown! Our reservations were originally for Bavaro, but we upgraded to Ambar Green on our second day. The more luxury ammenaties were well worth the small price paid for the upgrade! All staff was willing to go above and beyond to accommodate! The breakfast and dinner buffets, along with the snack bar, had better food selections in Ambar than in Punta Cana or Bavaro. Finding chairs for beach or pool was also easier in Ambar. We were able to book restraunts at night with ease, as we had heard they book up quickly. As parents of four small children, we love kids, but Ambar being adults only was definitely a plus! Our first and only day in Bavaro was far from relaxing due to unsupervised children running here and there, and especially being all in the food at the snack bar. Clearly unsupervised children are the responsibility of their parents, so in no way did I feel like this was any fault of the resort! I cannot say enough good things about The Grand Bahia Principe and it will certainly not be 13 years before we visit again! Looking forward to our next visit!

nice hotel but
Pros:
room was nice sized rooms
Cons:
cleaned in a timely manner and without having to ask
Location:
lost of things to do here if you spend alot of money
resort was very pretty and the grounds were clean and well kept. the food on the other hand was bad all but the garden grill it was great. at 10pm there is no entertainment it was boring at night, we had to ask daily for the room to be cleaned. DO NOT leave your cell phone in your room are it will be taken. the party boat was the best thing we done and the zip line was fun. the beach was nice but the water was rough to swim in
