Great place for a family trip. Lots to do. I went with a large group (all family) and we enjoyed it. It was many years ago but very memorable because of the people that worked there. All were very friendly and welcoming. The people are just really great. The food was also awesome. It's a place where there's something for... More

We stayed here with friends the second week of April and had a good time. Our friends had to change rooms because they had bed bugs though. Make sure you check the mattress before you lay on the bed.The staff was very friendly but you had to call the front desk about 5 times to get water. The bar was... More

We travelled to Bahia Principe San Juan on April 23/12 to April 30/12. It was a very pleasant trip from the airport to our resort, lots of laughs, about an hour long. We arrived to a very smooth check-in (golden club) a welcome drink and we went directly to our room. The resort is massive. The food was simply amazing,... More

Went to this resort in January, check your room before sleeping in it! I brought bed bugs home, and after the exterminator has been here twice I still have them! Otherwise the resort was ok. I ignored comments i had read on here about them having bed bugs.... well it's true they do.

We visited the resort from the 18 april until the 3 May. The first week was fine with just small problems like faulty electrics, little hot water, broken tiles and sink unit stuck together with mastic. However on the Saturday of the second week chaos ensued. It was labour day bank holiday and nearly 2000 locals descended like a hoard... More

I spent 2 weeks during the Easter break here. I stayed in the diamond area, although paid the normal price. If you like all inclusive this is a lovely place. Unfortunately the beach isn't a white one with clear blue water, shame. The provision and service is really good, my room was excellent. My only disappointment was it was difficult... More

I went to this resort with a big group of people... we arrived in the evening and got our rooms no problem... check in did take a while but the staff were very nice. Just a note, it is a far hotel from the airport -- over an hour long drive to get to the resort. My room was fine,... More
