Tips: 1) NEVER EVER go to a resort that is not adults only if you are not bringing kids. Kids destroy everything and the hotel has to cheapen out to make any profit and the adults suffer. 2) do yourself a favour and go to the Iberostar next door, this place is a dump. 3) Anybody that rates this hotel... more

THE GOOD: An immaculately maintained resort, with spacious rooms, friendly people, tons to eat monster buffets, lots of sand beach, beach vendors are everywhere not not pushy or a nuisance, great place for small kids ( our case 11, 9, and 7 years). Hard to beat. If you can get over a city sized resort, and move by shuttle most... more

we arrived in the dr at punta cana airport on nov 5 for a one week stay at the bahia principe bavaro, our second trip in a year to the island. we took a taxi from the airport for $20.00 to avoid the long bus trip and the lines, check in was no problems, the room was clean and as... more

We did the monster truck trip via our tour operator (Thomas Cook) which was good. Also did the parasailing and the speedboats via the... more

Left at 6:15 in the morning and didn't get back until 9:15 at night. Just a little too much for us. We were supposed to go on a tuesday so we got up really... more

We can be rather short on this one : fantastic resort ! All the great things you read in the reviews, are true. Food is great, hotel (rooms & premises) are extremely clean, the shows are worth while, ... We had a great time at Bahia Principe Bavaro (Club Hacienda). To nitpick, just a few details that were a bit... more

We chose this resort to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday having spoken to several reps on a previous visit to the Dom Rep. We read the reviews before we went and wondered if we had made a mistake but could not have been happier with our choice. We also wondered if we should have upgraded our stay, but were pleased... more

This was our first trip to the Dominican Republic. (Punta Cana) Before we left I read the reviews that were very much mixed reviews. Which put my guards up. I heard alot of stories regarding DR (not positvie I have to say). I still went with an open mind. We landed at the airport and it was a beautiful sight.... more
