We had a group of 8 staying at this resort. 3 of which had previously been to this resort a couple of years back. We were there from Feb 1st to feb. 11th. We stayed at the hacienda/diamond club suites and it was well worth the extra money to be close to the beach and having our own restaurant for... More

If you are looking to explore the Dominican Republic, and be at a resort with plenty to do, then look no further than Gran Bahia Prinicipe Bavaro! I'm a 22 year old female, and just came back from Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro with my boyfriend. We stayed in the Premier section which we knew was a bit of a walk... More

We travelled with a group of 6. Had an amazing time !! Can not understand why people complain so much. I am a fussy eater, but could always find something I liked. Recommend the Japanese and Steakhouse. Breakfast also was super..specialty omlettes as you wait. Resort was full, 7000 people but we never had to wait in line and no... More

We attended a wedding on the beach at this resort. That means we did not research this location, the bride and groom chose this resort and we where honoured to be involved. This is a beautiful resort. We have been coming to the Carribean for 25 years. There are many positive things to praise this location. I will mention a... More

Feb. 11, 2012. Just got back from a week in paradise! We stayed in room 94007 and we walked out of the building, across a driveway, and we were at the lobby, pool, several restaurants and the amazing beach. Others were in buildings further away but there's a "shuttle bus" (like golf carts pulling several other cars) that runs every... More

This is by far the best resort or at least in the top 3. The beach is amazing, the selection of food is unforgettable. The staff in all areas were friendly, kind and always smiling. I would suggest staying at any part of the beautiful resort. More

The service and the food were amazing. Special mentions for Roman at Marias restaurant. Filay and Enrique at Il Pescatore and Linda at the lobby bar. They really helped to make this a memorable vacation. More

I'm not a world traveler, but my stay at the Bavaro was the poorest experience I ever had. Poor service, poor specialty restaurants, drinks were terrible, entertainment was amateurish the 3 nights I saw it. It's just to big of a resort w/ 3000 room. We were about 1 1/2 miles away from the beach. I would not go back... More

1st time to the Dominican Republic = SUCCESS!! I've travelled before, but this was beyond anything else!! Excellent food. A la carte menus were very good (book early they fill up fast, and go back to check for cancellations, this is done in the lobby on the buffet side). I had a chance to eat in both the Mexican and...
