You have to see the place! The good service when you eat because of a wonderful man Bienvenido Coca R. The food manager. You feel special. The ocean is beautiful and a lot of fish just in front of the hotel. When you like to walk like us it's a paradise. I recommand this place at 110%.

My expectations of this hotel were high due to the Bahai reputations. Upon arrival I was disappointed, but as the week went along something happened....it turns out to be a special little spot not only for the magnificent beach that you can walk forever, but because of the special people who work there and are doing everything they can to...

Stayed at the El Portillo in May for a week. Fantastic hotel. Love the beach, food, friendly staff and cleanliness. The only issue I had was connecting with the hotel wifi. They should include a step by step guide notice with your package on how to connect with the free wifi. And also mosquitoes in the washrooms. Since the windows... More

The beach was beautiful! The hotel staff were very friendly, but there were way too many sales people walking around that were trying to push vacation plans, excusions, spa deals, and locals on the beach trying to sell things. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The only bad part about the rooms are the walls are so thin you hear... More

My husband and I with another couple just returned from Grand Bahia Principe El Portillo on May 11, 2013. It was a wonderful, amazing, and relaxing stay. The people at the hotel were so humble, pleasant and caring (Valentin, Daniel, and the dining room staff and cooks to mention a few) were always ready to please. The ONLY thing I... More

Resort As Expected... The Dominican Republic is a magical country for me. My husband and I have spent many relaxing and exciting days and nights (total 65) while in Punta Cana, La Romana, and Puerto Plata. Desiring to experience more of the DR culture, beaches, and landscape, we decided on the Las Terrenas area, and the Grand Bahia Principe El... More

Stayed at this property in a standard room for three adults, they recommend a junior suite when there is more than two adults but this one worked well for us, the only thing that we noticed was that the air conditioning was cool but you need to leave the key inserted all the time including when leaving as the rooms...

If you are looking for low-key and relaxing, this is where you want to be. The staff is excellent. Miladya, our concierge, made sure our every need was met and every question answered. (I tend to ask many random questions... plants - local customs.) If you have transportation needs, Martin is the go-to guy. Want a taxi to go shopping... More
