Our family has travelled to many destinations, and this was the worst ever. First of all, since it is a Spanish speaking country, we thought we would be ok since my wife can speak spanish, but the staff often acted like they did not understand her when it came time for them to give us change. Check in was a... more

Family Trip with 22, 27, and 28 yr olds. We enjoyed our time there. The resort is certainly gorgeous. We were in the Bavaro side. We found the staff in the Buffet to be quite friendly and personable. I have stayed in all inclusives before and was a little disappointed in the arrival. Normally you are greeted with drinks. We... more

We booked a week for our family (2 adults, 2 kids / 6&9)....We flew to Santo Domingo and drove to Punta Cana (3.5 hours) as it was the cheapest flight available. Once arrived at hotel we found out it was over booked...After initial disappointment we moved to other resort 2 miles down the road (RIU Palace Macau) for 4 days... more

We wanted to write a long and detailed review to explain just how great of an experience we had and why we will be making plans to go back as soon as we can.... My boyfriend and I returned from BP Bavaro a few days ago, and had the most perfect vacation. We literally had ZERO complaints about our stay--... more

My husband and I were married in June 2008 at the Gran Bahia Principe in Punta Cana. We had a rather large number (44) of guests attending the wedding and staying at the resort. We stayed for 9 nights and had guests that stayed as short as 3 days and as long as 7 days. Resort: The resort is rather... more

Stayed at Bahia Principe June 8th - June 15th. I'll start with the Punta Cana airport. Cute and quant and not airconditioned. Seems that they need to work on the schedule of multiple planes arriving at once since it can't handle large crowds. Overall, it still moved along pretty fast. Lines looked overwhelming but moved quickly. Just like in Cancun,... more
