IF you love huge resorts, this one may be worth considering.
Mark H (Toronto, Canada) on Jan 08, 2026
We stayed at this huge resort over New Years, which is part of 6 different resorts on same property in the Bahia Principe family. You have access to only certain parts and restaurants on the other properties. The resort is easy to get around with the regular trollies that run the length of resort. We had an upgraded “premium” junior suite which allowed us to stay closer to beach. Our initial room was in Villa 10, which backed onto the very smelly Mangrove, which we quickly renamed the Poopgrove. After complaining to front desk, they quickly accommodated us by moving to a new Villa section which was terrific. Pros: 1) Super clean resort - staff is continually sweeping, cleaning and mopping resort. Seaweed promptly raked up 2) Food is very good at both ala carte restaurants and at the buffet. The New Years Eve buffet was spectacular! The Gourmet and The Flame restaurants were excellent. The Takara and Maiko are very similar, thus only choose 1 unless doing the Teppanyaki at Maiko. 3) Renovated rooms are good, although a little bit of a sewer smell present in bathroom 4) Ocean is beautiful and warm 5) Staff (except bar tenders) from the front desk, trolley, cleaners and servers are excellent and friendly. Special shout out to Suleika and Marienella - amazing individuals! 6) Trolley system is quick and easy, with clearly marked stops Cons: 1) Beach chair section is chaos! Not enough loungers for so many people. Lounger section is relatively small for a big resort and is also partially on a hill, which contributes to the chaos. Most disappointing was the lack of enforcement of the handicapped section, which was occupied by able-bodied individuals. There were multiple instances where we had to help people in wheelchairs find spots or ask people to move over in a clearly marked section. 2) Beach bar constantly had line ups with long waits and surely bar tenders. 3) Beach restaurant and snack bar food is horrible! Better to take a trolley to buffet. 4) The Mangrove (aka the Poopgrove) looks great, but the smell is overwhelming. 5) Lobby bar also had long waits with bar tenders who looked like they wanted to be elsewhere All in all we enjoyed our stay, but the size of resort is too big for our liking.
Never going back to this hotel ever again
Joumana A (New York City, New York) on Jan 06, 2026
As soon as you arrive, it looks fabulous! Grounds are beautiful, its huge ( you need the gold cart for going from place to place) The room was ok, but they had a tiny hand soap that we had to ask a million times for more as we are a family of 4, they don't change the towels or bedsheets. I dont know what they cleaned the buffet area with but eveytime I walked into that place it instantly turned me off of the whole place The food at the buffet was horrible, cold tastes bland, feels like eating cardboard. The food at the restaurants where you have to book in advance was relatively ok. I thought all of DR food was horrible because of that hotel, but then we rented a car and ate outside of the resort and it was wonderful! I even had decided that I wouldn't let any of my friends go to DR because of my experience with Bahia resort. But then we spent a day at Westin hotel and it was wonderful, all the people that work there are very friendly, they all spoke english, food was delicious. So I will give the island another chance but never Bahia Principe Grande Punta Cana. I really dont understand how other reviews are saying its a wonderful place, feels like we were on 2 different planets. I usually never write reviews, but I felt I had to so no other family has to go through this. I literally ate bread and cheese just because everything else tasted bad. We travel a lot and all around the world, so we have tn of hotel experience.
