This Birthday vacation was the worse experience ever. I came with my husband, 2 kids, my mom and my father in law handicap. This was our 3rd time coming to Bahia príncipe. The first 2 in Fantasia with no issues at all. 1- while we were doing the check in the manager J M was so pushy to do a Review for the hotel when we didn’t even finished the check in. He took our phones to put the wifi in to leave the Dam review. Which called our attention right away. I’ve never seen this before from any other service. Don’t get fool and leave a review before having your own experience. 2- the 2 rooms were so smelly like a cesspool, they blame the rain. The house keeper also realized from the smell. We complain about it and the manager didn’t do anything at all. He supposed to give us another room the next day. No one call us the next day to let us know that the room was ready. The same day appears COCKROACHES one in the first room in the bathroom and 2 in the room #2 in the bed and couch, TERRIBLE!! 3- NO Ac or Heat vent Filters, visible electrical wires hazard hanging . In both Rooms. Unsafe Disgusting experience for my family and kids, in the day of my Birthday . I have all the proof videos and photos !

We had a really good stay at this all-inclusive resort in Kantakana! The overall experience was comfortable and relaxing. The rooms were clean and well maintained, the food options were nice with plenty of variety, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The beach and pool areas were beautiful and well kept. There’s definitely room for a bit more improvement in service speed and entertainment, but overall it was a wonderful experience

We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our anniversary, and we truly had a wonderful stay. The room was spotless and well-maintained, and the staff provided excellent service. I would especially like to thank Alexa and Alex for warmly greeting us from the moment we arrived until the end of our trip. They went above and beyond to help me decorate the room for a birthday surprise, and their kindness, helpfulness, and professionalism made our experience extra special. The outdoor pool was also perfect for relaxing and enjoying our time together. We definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and comfortable stay.
