I just arrived at the Grand Bavaro Princess Resort, and I couldn’t be happier. Not only are the surroundings beautiful - an elegant pond, stone walls, and gorgeous plants - but the service is impeccable. More specifically, I checked in with a man named Schneider, who was incredibly kind and accommodating to me and my friends. We arrived early and were anxious about the check in time, but he assured us it was okay. In addition, we requested two rooms close to each other, and he was able to accommodate us close to the beach. An amazing experience so far with Schneider!

Just got back and loved it! We vacationed without the kids and with two other couples. We decided to splurge and paid for Platinum. While we enjoyed being pampered, we would have probably been just as happy in non-platinum. Food at the a la cartes was great! Making reservations through the app was incredibly easy. We were able to make reservations 1-day before (non-platinum) without difficulty as long as you are not picking about eating time. Platinum allows you to reserve 3-days in advance. Food at the buffets was good as was the service. If we went for buffet, we would stick to Chopin (Platinum only) as it was quite. The two other buffets were loud. The beach area was beautiful! For the Canadians out there, the beach isn't Cuba beautiful, but beautiful just the same. Equally warm waters, just bigger waves and cloudy from the waves churning the beautiful white sand. No areas to snorkle, except off resort. You need to be up early to reserve a beach lounger, but watching the sun rise makes it worth it. Security at the beach was quite good. Security helps minimize the many vendors. While not a resort issue, the vendors can be quite aggressive. If you are not interested, simply say so and they go away. Try window shopping just once and you can expect to receive repeat visits. Rooms were always kept clean. Bar fridge always stocked, though it never got cold. All staff were very friendly. From the servers, to the bell boys, to the maids, and grounds keepers. While many had limited English, they did try hard to help everyone and please everyone. While opinions may vary, I experienced only positivity from staff. There were rude guests and demanding guests that simply cannot be pleased. Would I go back? YES! We did splurge and go Platinum, and would do it again, Platinum or not. …

Animation very good. The animation team is at the pool and lobby area throughout the day. They know how to keep you entertained during your entire stay. Sexy Bernie is a very good dancer and teacher. The restaurants are great including the 2 buffets.

My wife and I were in room 2522 There are so many pros that I will start with cons. Cons No night theme shows in the theater. The main pool gets a little gross in the late afternoon… needs a shock treatment everyday. The exterior of the main buildings need work however the interior is very well decorated and renovated. A little bit of problem with the AC with the wall thermostat but I was able to figure it out. Pros Super location with very nice beach. The algae were not a problem while we were there because they clean the beach every morning. Food is amazing in the à la carte restaurants. Buffet is ok. Food trucks were kind of cool and good. We had no problems to eat everyday in à la carte restaurants at around 8 pm despite what we heard. The app is good and we found we could book 2 days in advance between 6 pm and 8 pm. The service was great… people are mostly nice and if they have a bad day, smile at them and they will return the favor. They work long hours. Rooms are all suites and they are very nice. They have shuttles but from the main building to the beach, it is roughly 13-14 min walk… not the end of the world if you can walk. We never took the shuttle. Nice ambiance at the pool from 4 to 6 with a dj and foam party. There were small bands every night or so. To conclude, my wife and I needed a break so we were not looking to party everyday. That was perfect for us. If you are looking for more, either you go out of the club or go somewhere else. It is more a family oriented club but kids were really not a problem since we were there last week of March. People were really nice in general. We loved it… thank you Bavaro Princess. Nath and Marc…

Nice grounds and beach and that is about the height of it. The buffet was terrible the good thing was the omelets. Good luck with trying to book a restaurant using the app. In general when you were lucky enough to a reservation the food was not bad. As for the onsite ATM, it only spit out 1000 peso bills. No problem you can get them changed by the cashier, good luck with that, just ridiculous. The mini bar was rarely stocked even after asking serval times nor is it a mini bar as you only get 2 beer. If you want anymore or a bottle of wine you got to pay which is absolute BS. Also took a day to get toilet roll. To the manager when you reply to this review you have work to do, so drop the party line it is not helping you any. All the other negative reviews I have read are accurate, so wake up. …

Dear 532louiset. Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you choose our hotel as your tourist destination but we deeply regret that your stay was not a 100% positive one experience because we always do as much as we can trying to offer our visitors the best possible service. We want to extend our most sincere apologies for any possible inconvenience you might have experienced while you were staying within us. Regarding our food, this is a very subjective point of view which we honestly respect but we cannot share it at all, it is hard to think that food lacks quality or is not varied. We understand that perhaps flavors, cooks, methods, seasonings, among others; may be different from those that you are getting used to. It is simply your perception which is very different as most of our guests consider our food not only good but varied. Our ATM is located in our hotel simply to provide comfort to our guests, that is, so that they do not have to leave the property in search of money, since we are not responsible for any inconvenience that may occur outside the hotel and absolutely no one until today had complained about this, on the contrary, they have been grateful that there is an ATM in our hotel but since it seems that everything is a bother for you, it is your responsibility to bring cash to the hotel. There is little we can do if you did not want to read our policies before making your reservation, since the standard of the mini bars is clearly detailed in our web app and official hotel website and even a child understands it without any inconvenience and even with threats you are not going to get more than the standards indicate, if you want extra drinks, you have to pay an extra charge like any other place in the world. Our advice for future stays. Please, read. Finally, I personally thank you for your advice that will be taken into account, in order to improve our service, while I remind you to read, read a lot to avoid inconveniences when you travel to another place. Honestly, J. De La Vieja General Manager Grand Bavaro Princess.

Spent eight days at this resort. Overall review: Check In: Checked in online two days prior, at the resort this took maybe 10-15 minutes. Seamless and English Speaking employee. Room: asked for a room near beach and pool and this was honored when we arrived- I asked when I booked and not when we arrived. Spacious room with a very nice patio. We had hot water, no issues there. It was clean although the couch (white) is gross. Get rid of it. Bed was comfortable and AC worked. I did have an issue when I woke up one morning with major bug bites on my head and neck- super itching going on. Took two Benedryl's and I was fine. Didn't see any bugs-- maybe the NoSee Ums. (?) My husband was fine. Room was a tad damp, didn't notice while there- noticed at the airport when I changed out of beach clothes. There is coffee in room, bottled water, soda, and two cans of beer. Fridge is not super cold, but it does trick. Our safe broke on day #1. Maintenance had it fixed in 30 minutes- broken wire. Food: you will have to eat the buffet night one. The reservation system is complicated at first. Basically copy and past the link off the QR Code in Google, once you get that it's easy. Only times we could get were between 7p and 9:30p. We are a couple in our 50's so this was fine. We liked the food, and this is our third AI since December. Mexican was fantastic, the Hibachi grill (twice) was excellent, Steakhouse was good, and food trucks and buffet were good. The outdoor grill by the food trucks was very good too. I did not care for the music group in El Gaucho Steakhouse- the one guy kept meowing at me. Like a lot. Not a fan of that. Shuttles: One night we had to walk from the Sports bar to building 29 at 1am. No shuttle to be found- this was fine- it was a nice night for a walk. Other than that, no issues. People do need to watch themselves and their kids if they are walking as not to get hit. Resort feel: tropical and the grounds are beautiful Beach: no to little sea grass until our last day- yesterday. Seemed to move in on Saturday night. The workers were out there bagging it up. The resort really should get a tractor or something to help these employees out. Water was refreshing. Beach vendors are present, but respectful. A simple no thank you is all you need to say. Lots of chairs- no need to rush for a spot unless you want a specific area. Sand is soft and clean. Staff: I have no idea why people are saying the workers don't speak much or any English. #1 this is not your country and #2 I thought most staff did great at communicating. Relax and give them sometime to work though communication with you. Pools: We were by the big party pool. It looks kind of gross by the end of the day with lotion and such. And- don't get mad, but the kids - little ones drinking mocktails by the pool and spilling it while trying to swim. Most are wearing swim diapers. Party area was overrun by kids and little kids. It's a huge pool and I get parents want to be in on the party, but believe me- your time will come. Keep them out of the party area. There are two awesome looking waterparks for kids- barely in use. Move your kids out of the party area and over to the other shallow ends of the pool. You can still hear the music and see entertainment. We did not go to the quiet pool, because as adults we wanted to be in the party area. Also, there are a ton of chairs. You do not need to rush and reserve a spot- this was awesome! Public bathrooms: hit or miss. Big pool bathroom was gross by early afternoon. Beware. Rest were fine. Animation: They do a nice job on the beach and by the pool. Nighttime entertainment is music in the courtyard which we really liked vs. big shows. Sports bar has music a few nights too. We like the lobby bar too at night. Would have liked to dance, but the floor is overrun by kids. Sports Bar: good food, good music and great staff. Ice Cream Truck in Courtyard at night: Husband loved. I don't care of ice cream (odd, I know). Vendors on resort: two days they allow vendors by the party pool. Did not care for this. I already shopped on the beach, I don't need to be bugged on resort. One night they had lots of vendors in courtyard. Did not care for this either. I understand they have goods to sell and need money, but I don't want to be hustled on resort. Drinks: no top shelf, but we did like the drinks. We love Presidente Beer so all is good there. Water: Bottled water is plentiful everywhere- we loved this and appreciated this. It's super hot so water is important. We really did like this resort, perfect for families. As adults who now have grown kids, we won't be back and will be moving to adults only resorts. …
