The reviews on this hotel, in my opinion, are not really fair. This was my second time to the Dominican Republic and like my 20th time to an all inclusive property. This place is a STEAL for the price. The property is pretty is well kept. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The beach is calm although the water is... More

Okay so we booked this trip for a quick get-away for memorial day weekend. The hotel was clean and quite nice, but would I stay here again? Nope. Food was mediocre at best and drinks was simply sugar water and cheap booze. We were fooled because we stayed at grand Bahia in punta Cana and it was awesome! okay so... More

We (my wife and I) went in May for four nights, and we loved our stay. The highlights for us were the nice staff, very kind and helpful. The rooms, which are all junior suites, are clean and spacious. The food was actually better than expected for an all-inclusive, It was good and had various options, the best, of course,... More

Our stay was extremely pleasant and surprisingly laid back. The grounds at this resort are LUSH, with a very large pristine pool in the center of the resort. There were three smaller pools, perfect for children or just wading. The white sand beach is very picturesque, but the ocean was sadly too murky to snorkel in. We were overjoyed that... More

Just got back and am missing it already. Pedro, Juan, Wilson were fantastic. Carlos from the jewellery shop was so friendly and helpful. The hotel is quite a distance from town and a good two hours from the Punta Cana airport but that gave us a chance to see the town and country like we wouldn't have otherwise. The grounds... More

We decided to book this trip for a quick, inexpensive, anniversary weekend. We had e-mailed the hotel twice to see about upgrading our room. Our e-mails didn't receive a response, so we called the hotel directly. We were assured that a note about our anniversary would be placed in the reservation and we could upgrade once we arrived. Getting through... More

A group of us girls went to the Gran Bahia Principe La Romana for my friend's bachelorette party, May 10-13th. We were not expecting anything fancy, so our expectations were in line. However we were not expecting to experience a complete lack of service, uncomfortable accommodations, below average food (at best), dirty rooms and to not be given what was... More

I've been to a number of all-inclusive hotels in the Dominican Republic over the last 20 years mostly for corporate meetings or sales incentive trips. This hotel is located in a very nice place, the grounds are nicely groomed, the rooms are outdated and run down, the food is frequently lousy and infrequently good, and service from their key staff...

I took the wife and two daughters here May 14-21, 2012. We always read Tripadvisor’s reports and then still make our own decision. Generally we find that we get along with everyone and have not really ever had a bad vacation. The good: The Santo Domingo airport was not crawling with people trying to sell you something the moment you... More
