Bahia Principe..just returned from second visit..Questions? |
|
Happy to try and answer any questions |
|
Going there in about 2 weeks. Is there construction? How rough is the ocean? Are there alot of kids? (we are bringing our 6 year old daughter) What resturants did you like best? How was the entertainment? How was the drinks? Were there alot of skeeters? | ||||||

There is construction on the Bavaro side mid resort up to the lobby...and there is construction on the front of the Punta cana lobby... I believe it was your post on which ala cartes I answered... The ocean was mostly calm..a few choppy days..nothing an adult or a six year old who can swim couldnt handle...keep in mind when you hit the beach..you dont have to swim directing in front..the beaches stretches a fair distance to the left and right...and is nicer and less crowded if you walk a little...beware swimming beyond the lines as boats do come in my mind way to close to swimmers.. There are a lot of children...but keep in mind most of the travellers in the summer months are spanish speaking..your daughter will have no trouble finding friends to play with I didnt see a single mosquito..never used repellent and not a bite..if you venture on any excursions..be sure to use it..especially the jungle tour | ||||||

Was the construction a nuisance? | ||||||
|
not really...but our villa wasnt close to it...a little noise in the punta cana lobby in the evening | ||||||
|
Hi lbarrett, I talked to the Royal Golden Rep and he said the lobby entrance construction should be completed this week. Hope you had a good vacation. Steve | ||||||
|
HOw is the weather right now? | ||||||
|
it was hot and sunny with occasional cloudy brief periods...I welcomed the intermittent clouds as the full sun was really intense | ||||||
|
Was the food ok or so so? | ||||||
|
Keep in mind that 5 star carribean is not 5 star north american...I would say the food was average..the pizza at the buffet was actually very good more like a flat bread..you wont go hungry as you will find something you like...the breakfast buffet was nice and you can get made to order omelette... Where you will see a big difference is the meat...I did have a nice (they called it tenderloin of beef) at Le Grill...they try very hard and the presentation is great | ||||||
|
If I can add my 2 cents! I thought the Mexican a-la-carte was fantastic, and you can't go wrong with the fruit smoothies for breakfast! The overall food experience has improved at the Bahia PC. It had been almost 2 years between our first and second visit and we noticed a dramatic improvement. | ||||||
