TripAdvisor Traveler Rating
IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY A SWIMING POOL OR A BEACH RUN AWAY FROM THIS RESORT.
FranciscoGLebre (Lisbon, Portugal) on Jan 31, 2026
Very poor management of sunbeds — unacceptable experience The biggest issue at this resort is the complete failure to manage sunbeds at both the pools and the beach. From the very first hours in the morning, around 80% of the loungers are “reserved” with towels, yet left empty for hours. This happens despite clearly posted signs stating that reserving chairs is not allowed. The rules exist only on paper — they are not enforced. Staff members simply say they “cannot do anything,” which is difficult to believe. The situation is so systematic that it creates the impression that employees themselves may be informally benefiting from this practice. Whether that is true or not, the result is the same: total disorder and unfairness. No manager or supervisor appears interested in solving the problem. We are a family of seven, including a child and people who are more sensitive to sun exposure. Despite being paying guests, we have repeatedly been unable to find sunbeds — not at the pool, not at the beach. Meanwhile, rows of chairs sit empty but blocked by towels for most of the day. This is not a minor inconvenience. At a resort of this category, access to basic seating and shade should be guaranteed, not a daily battle at dawn. This situation is frankly disgraceful and reflects very poor management standards Francisco Lebre
NOT A 5 STAR RESORT
dana388 (Winnipeg, Canada) on Jan 31, 2026
I recently stayed at Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana, and this resort does not live up to its advertised five-star rating. This review is strictly of the hotel. Punta Cana weather is amazing, although the beach was covered in seaweed. From arrival, the resort felt overcrowded. Check-in took an extremely long time, with lineups everywhere, only to be given a terrible, outdated room. If you stay here, you must request a renovated room—otherwise you’re staying in what feels like a one-star motel with brick-hard beds. After two nights, we did receive an upgraded room, which slightly improved the experience of our 10-day stay, but it never reached anything close to a luxury level. The resort is simply too busy. There are long lineups everywhere, daily. They also constantly run out of towels, both at the pools and the beach, which is frustrating and unacceptable for a resort of this size. Finding a chair after 9 a.m. is impossible—every chair is covered with towels and nothing is enforced. The beach is extremely crowded at this resort. If you walk to neighboring resorts, the beach is noticeably less busy and you can easily find a chair. Dining was mixed. The food was good, and the entertainment was excellent, which were definite positives. Service varied widely. At most restaurants, servers did not speak English, making ordering difficult. The standout was the Flame Restaurant, where the service was excellent—especially if you are willing to purchase a bottle of wine through the sommelier. One important thing to note: if you stay at the Grand Punta, you do NOT have access to any of the other Bahia resorts, but guests from other Bahia resorts do have access to this one, which adds even more people and crowding. A bright spot for families was the kids’ water park, which was a highlight for our children and surprisingly not too busy. Overall, this resort is not a five-star property, or anywhere close to it. At best, it is a three-star resort with some good food and entertainment, but major issues with crowds, room quality, and basic amenities. Overall rating: 3 stars max. --- Pros: Good food overall Great nightly entertainment Excellent service at the Flame Restaurant (especially with wine purchase) Kids’ water park was a highlight and not too busy Punta Cana weather is amazing Cons: Extremely overcrowded resort Long lineups everywhere, daily Outdated, poor-quality rooms unless renovated Brick-hard beds in non-renovated rooms Constantly running out of towels No chairs available after 9 a.m. due to towel reserving Very crowded beach with seaweed Limited English spoken by servers in most restaurants No access to other Bahia resorts, while other resorts access this one If you want, I can also tighten this up for Google Reviews character limits or make it even more blunt.
