Some people think this resort is too big but once you get your head around it there is no problems. Plus the shuttles are running all the time so okay if you dont want to walk. The food is first class as is the service. I would recommend couples upgrading to 'Amber' if you like a little more peace and... more

My husband and I travelled to Bahia Principe the week of Aug 17th for our Hunniemoon. We arrived and our room key did not work! (which is no big deal) We are NOT picky people. We have been to Cuba as a couple 5 times and have had No problems. First of all for "Off Season" it was soo busy,... more

My husband and I and our 2 children (11, 12 years) returned last week from a 14 night stay at the Gran Bahia Prinicpe Bavaro . We were a bit concerned due to some mixed reviews, but we had a really nice stay! We were upgraded to the Hacienda Club for free . The villas are closer to the beach... more

Don't worry about bad reviews but if you don't like big hotel complexes, fairly crowded beach and sea, some queueing in the dining rooms, then this is not for you. All in all decent clean rooms. Use bottled water for cleaning teeth Mosquitoes evident - there is a mangrove area on site with standing water - take repellent with 50%... more

Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro is part of five hotels in a huge complex. Had to walk or take a shuttle to do everything. Complained and called Expedia neither do anything. My idea of a vacation is just to go down to the beach and relax. Not to walk at least twenty minutes or wait for a shuttle that is full... more

I just returned 3 days ago from the Bahia Bavaro and I'm still sick. But i am also going through withdrawl! We arrived around 12:00, got onto out bus and we recived our room numbers and wristbands on the bus. We arrived at the hotel around 1:00 and we had to wait until 3:00 to get checked into out rooms,... more

First of all, I know everybody says how this resort is so awesome and all that. So I'll give the negatives. First of all, there were BED BUGS!!!!!!!!!!. Trust me, we all slept in one bed and we woke up with red bumps on the back of our arms, clearly there's a bite if you look closely at it. Second:... more

Weather was hot hot hot. Negatives... I got bit a million times- bring repellent!!!u need to wake up early like 7 to reserve spots in... more

Got back two days ago from a week long stay at Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro. To be honest, I was a little nervous: my dad planned the trip himself and the reviews on this site were a crazy mix. It just proves you shouldn't take everything you read to heart - I kept a lock on my suitcase all week... more
