I went there with my husband's family and had an amazing time. My only super minor complaint was that we rarely had hot water to shower but given how hot it was down there. A cold shower the odd time was refreshing. We arrived late at night. Got booked in quite quickly and were driven on a cart to our... more

This was our first trip to the Dominican Republic and it was real value for money. We found the food was wonderful and the main restuarant had different themes every night. They still catered for the "normal" foods as well on these evenings. They have provided anti bacterial gel at all the entrances to the restuarants and everyone is encouraged... more

Just returned from a 2 week trip to this hotel. A little teething problem at the start - room had 1 bed and we asked for 2 beds - only took them 3 tries to get it right and the room we ended up with couldnt be faulted. The hotel and its grounds are lovely, but the Prinicpe Shopping Street... more

Came back my holiday from the Dominican at the Bahia Principe about 3 weeks ago with my Fiance and 4 year old daughter. Took us a few weeks to get back to normal. Didn't want to leave as it was so good and never feel like this about holidays, we are normally glad to get home. We even hoped my... more

We have just returned from our two-week holiday in Bahia Principe and we had the most wonderful time. Before we went I was a little concerned after reading a few negative reviews but we found it to be a lovely place and did not have any complaints whatsoever. We arrived late afternoon and were greeted in reception by the entertainment... more

We cannot believe some of the recent reviews of this hotel!! Toilet paper hanging from fans?? come on.. Cases left outside door - well perhaps if they had went with the porters and allowed them in with the room key, may have been a better idea.. We checked in as well at 10pm - were offered option of restuarant but... more

Just returned from this Hotel and we were very disappointed. The hotel appears on the surface very good but although there are good points I must warn people that during our stay there was many people there that were robbed. Lots of Guests had belongings stolen. Others had sickness and Diahorreah. Unfortunately, many guests had slipping accidents at this hotel... more

My husband and I have travelled extensively (especially in the Caribbean) and have never had any problems with any hotels over the years except for this one! We booked the Club Golden and knew exactly what type of accomodation, food, etc. we should expect. This hotel is not for the faint of heart! To start with when we arrived at... more

Just got back from this resort and can only wonder at how anyone could fail to have a great time there. My boyfriend booked this trip for us as a surprise birthday gift and told me the week before we were due to leave. After reading the reviews on here i was really nervous about what to expect upon our... more
