This resort may at times scare you by its vastness, but after just one day, keeping in mind that at one end is the beach and the other is the main lobby its impossible to get lost. this resort is exception in its cleanliness and the staff no matter where you went were more than accomodating and made you feel...

Got off to a bad start... The lady at the front desk offered me an upgrade for 50$ a night. i declined. She then said...howabout you give me 20 bucks, and i'll give you the upgrade anyway. I wanted to make it special for my gf for her first tropical trip so i agreed and slipped her a 20. She... More

We would have to mirror the previous report of this resort. It is not able to handle the 7,000 people. The grounds, rooms,pool,lobby and beach are beautiful it is unfortunate that finding a place to sit or even walk around between the loungers is a real obstacle course. One huge problem is the bathroom by the main pool usually has... More

We went Jan 27th. We were the Canadians with our balconies decorated with Canadian Flags. I feel it takes about 3 or 4 days to know where your going at this resort. Do I like it...yes...good food...clean rooms....little things like only two beers in our fridge a day...ice buckets in room but no machines...but hey we can live with that.... More

Our family just returned from spending a week at the Bahia Principe Punta Cana. This was our third trip to the resort. Sadly, we doubt that we will be back. There are a LOT of great things about the resort (obviously - why else would we have gone so often?) - the resort however has grown to such monster proportions... More

My husband and I and our two teenaged sons spent one week at this resort, from Jan 28 to Feb 4/12. It's very well kept-up. Our rooms were very clean and well maintained and the people were always out on the grounds working on things, fixing, washing down the walkways, etc. The food quality at the buffet was good. We...

We have stayed at the resort from 18 - 25 January 2012 and as some people have mentioned it is really big, however, we enjoyed walking (especially after meals) so it wasn't a problem at all. We didn't upgrade and stayed in villa 17, the room was nice and no mosquitos at all (heard from other guests they had in... More

We had the upgraded Royal Golden package with Air Transat, which I would recommend to anyone. We had the most amazing vacation ever! The whole resort is absolutely gorgeous with well maintained...

This was our first try @ this resort, I liked that we got our room key and some information on the bus... We got a green wrist band and if you don't know what your wristband means then ask your travel agent or the front desk... Green wristband is the second lowest of the bands and there are 7 different... More
