Took a couple of days to get my bearings as this hotel is one of 5 (or 6?) in this complex. This hotel lobby is nearly a kilometre from the beach but the good news is that they run frequent shuttle buses along the two “avenues” that run either side of the hotel grounds. I think this must have been the original hotel as the rooms looked a bit dated. Having said that I think they looked authentic, tiled, a very good size, huge bed and very clean, so no complaints. Wonderful powder sand beach. Disappointing for me were the loungers around the pools, poor quality and when you sat on them the headrest bit popped up, a real faff!

The buffet was excellent and the service by Lucy great. The Mikado and Rodizio restaurant was delicious. Good experience with the service at pool bar and snack bar. My friends and I enjoy de pool, shows and lobby bar. Room service was excellent.

We have travelled 70% of the world and our three weeks here is one of the best vacations we’ve ever had ! Hotel & Service “ OUTSTANDING “ Location “Superb” food incredible !! Big shout out to Manuel , Dominga in the buffet room and Richmond on the bus service .

My husband and I have travelled to numerous countries and cities and enjoyed 5 star hotels across the world. Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana rates in the top 5 hotels we've stayed in. The food is first class. The service is so friendly and outstanding that you are made to feel as if you are at home. A big shout out to the real characters of the hotel to Manuel, Dominga, Yelissa, Richmond, and Winston.

Overall amazing hotel and experience! We booked with TUI and received grey wrist bands from the Bahia principe grande Punta Cana hotel which gave us access to all facilities in all the hotels owned by Bahia principe which flow into one another. We didn’t see many people with these wristbands. The grande hotel was beautiful and the room was nice, big and clean. We spent our days across in the Ambar (5star) on the beach front which was definitely a level up with a luxury feel such as waitress service. To get from one place to another it’s always worth waiting 1-2mins for a buggy to come along which will take you to where you like. The entertainment staff were amazing and work so hard from 9am-12pm! Make sure to get involved in the games as there are great prizes to be won. Also there are some free activities we got with our all inclusive on the beach in front of the ambar beach buffet… we only did kayaking, but there are many others to do at a small fee! We booked some excursions with the hotel such as saona island (full day tour with the 3 hour island access, snorkelling, natural pools) and the full day activity excursion (full day tour with mud buggies, horse riding, zip lining, cave pools & natural spring water, hot choc, coffee & Mana Juana tasting) The maintenance around the hotel is impeccable… always gardeners throughout the day. The beach was stunning with staff cleaning the beach. Make sure to go to the beach at night as the moon lights it up, a perfect photo moment. The food was great! Definitely make sure to download the Bahia principe app 10 days before you arrive as you can start booking restaurant's as these can get booked up quickly and avoids buffet every evening. Although the buffets were great! We only had 5 hotel restaurants we were able to book and TUI give you 1 extra. The rest we ate in the sports bar and the buffets. The Indian was the best by far! Room service is free and we had free top ups of our room bar (water, beer, coke, fanta) A great holiday with great value for money! 10 days is more than enough to get what that nice break!
