Bahia Principe Grand La Romana

We planned for our wedding dec 29th, 2020. After everything with Covid we had cancel. They require all guest to have their passport 6 months before traveling but since most US social security offices were closed that wasn’t an option for some of our guest. Also given the date of our wedding most of our guest would have had to quarantine 2 weeks prior to our wedding and 2 weeks after which meant 5 total weeks we would have had to ask our guest to quarantine and not work. It was just unreasonable and to top it off they didn’t even originally offer to us even postpone the wedding date and def didn’t offer us a refund for our rooms even though anyone who had purchased a non refundable room during those dates were granted a refund per their website. With the already troubling reputation of this hotel and the safety of its guest I guess it’s no surprise they don’t value the health and well being of their guest. Steer clear of this place

This was a fabulous place to stay. The staff were friendly and the hotel was very very clean, in beautiful kept grounds. I had one of my best holidays in this resort and would definitely use this hotel again. Europeans could really take some advice instead of extra charges on an all inclusive which is what I have found while staying in Cyprus, Turkey and Greece holiday resorts. This holiday included non motorized water sports hire for free, drinks in the fridge everyday restocked, Spanish lessons, gym sessions, pool activities, indoor activities all free. This was a very grown up holiday without any hassle or worry.This holiday was before the pandemic but still a fabulous holiday all the same.

A place with an excellent service and atmosphere, with dozens of helpful people, a main house with an astonishing architecture and beautiful surroundings and gardening, entertaining shows andnot to forget: -- the meals! Three meals a day – always overwhelming. Everything you could dream of you would be alble to find here. But: All meat, fish, pig or beef, is too well done to an european taste, too dry to be delicious and very often cold, having been on the buffet for a long time. But lots of salads, vegetables and deserts. And tasty spanish wine. The place is beautiful. For people loving beach and bathing it must be like heaven. For those that want to go somewhere in between – on their own hand – to see Santo Domingo f. ex., the capital of the Republic, and the place where Columbus more than 500 years ago put his foot on ”american” earth, it is like a prison. No public transport. The highway with overland-buses is not so far away, but there is no hotel-shuttle to a – now not existent – busstop. You can go on an organized tour, or hire a taxi for a day. But when you stay two or three weeks in a country you should have better posibilities to explore a little more than beach, buffet and bar in the place where you have booked -- without having to rent a car. Let us hope, that the days of corona soon will end, and that we then can return to and enjoy this remarkable place BAHIA PRINCIPE LA ROMANA and that – in the meantime – a way has been found for individual transportation

We are just back from a week stay in this fantastic resort. Everything was perfect. The staff (at all level) is super friendly, the rooms are perfect, very good beds, well lit up bathroom, good size balcony on the ground floor overlooking beautiful gardens. The food was very good except the desserts but then again I don't have a sweet tooth. The entertainment team was very nice but it's a shame that the holiday makers didn't want to participate more. The staff sometimes nearly had to beg to find willing people!! The beach is clean, beautiful, the sea very warm but not so crystal clear. Enough deck chairs even though at 7.30AM people have already "reserved" their place, which is really irritating. The pool is impeccable. 2 small negative points: 1) the pool + beach bars both closes at 6PM and ran out of (my favourite) Mojito sometimes as early as 4PM. 2) resort a little bit isolated so no walks to a local village or trip with local bus or motor conchos. Nearest place is San Pedro a 15 minutes taxi ride from the hotel at a ricidulous price of 20 dollars to get there or retur for 35 dollars. All in all great holiday where we might come back to. Highly recommended place.
