Cannot believe there are negative reviews about this resort. We stayed for 2 weeks at the start of july and it was fantastic.

After reading some of the reviews on here I was a little worried about going here but as soon as we arrived I knew it would be a great holiday. The place is huge which it needs to be as there is nothing else around. The grounds and gardens are lovely and looked after everyday by a team of people.... more

After reading mixed reviews on this site I was pleased that I had chosen this hotel. Firstly I would like to say that I must have been staying at a different hotel to a lot of other people who had nothing but bad things to say about it. To say that ambulances were always taking people to hospital is rubbish,... more

We stayed at the Bahia Principe for two weeks from 26th June. We bought a house earlier this year so decided a budget honeymoon was the way forward. We got what we paid for! The hotel and grounds were beautiful. Our room was quite basic but always clean. The beach was nice but sand isn't white due to it being... more
