My sister and I visited this resort from May 4th - May 11th and had a wonderful time. We were treated like queens. The staff at the resort are absolutely wonderful. Our maid was great and kept our room so clean and tidy. The bartenders were so friendly and always took time for conversation. The waiters at the a la... More

Before I went on this vacation, I read a lot of reviews. The majority of people that were complaining, said there was no room on the pool, the resort is "too big" and crowded, and the food is bland and not that great. I also read that in order to reserve a chair at the pool, you had to wake... More

This was my second time visiting this property....yes, it is big. BUT the walk either way is 5-10 minutes which is not alot by any means. Just not good for lazy people. Lots to do, food wonderful, if you don't like something they will try to fix it. Took 18 year old daughter last year and this year took my... More

Stayed the week of May 1-8. The beach was beautiful and everything was kept so clean. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, although many don't speak much english so having some basic Spanish would have been an asset. Food was great, and the night shows were fun and very entertaining. Would definitely return. More

I came here for a wedding. Would not have come here by choice and will not return. Pros: the rooms are very clean and air-conditioned and have balconies. The grounds, pools, and the rest of the hotel were also kept very clean. Filtered drinking water is available everywhere. Cons: the decor of the rooms should be updated. You need a... More

My husband and I just got back from a week stay at the Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro resort. It was really quite beautiful. As everyone has stated, it is a huge resort. Technically the resort is made up of about five resorts owned by the Gran Bahia Prinicipe company so it is huge and your lobby, pools and restaurant choices... More

Recently stayed at the resort. Big. Ten minute walk to the lobby from where our villa complex was. Trams cross the property to shuttle guests in between the beach and the rest of the resort. Grounds are beautiful. Food was generally good in the a la cartes (avoid the red wine!) Beach was clean and well maintained. Rooms were a... More
