Extremely INFLEXIBLE and lacking COMPASSION!
Escape52464887147 on Apr 12, 2024
Extremely INFLEXIBLE and lacking COMPASSION! My family of 6 is booked to travel to Grand Bahia Principe in May 2024. My Aunt is sharing a room with my 15 year old son. My Aunt received confirmation yesterday that she has Cancer and is required to start Chemotherapy next week. She is more than likely unable to travel. We do not want to cancel our trip as the 5 other family members are in dire need of a vacation under the circumstances. Our Travel Agent reached out to the hotel to determine if my Aunt's ticket could be transferred to another person and was advised that Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica has a NO TRANSFER Policy. That is unfortunate, but reasonable. If my Aunt is unable to fly, she is willing to forfeit the money paid for her vacation to ensure that everyone else in the family can still go. Therefore, the room that my Aunt and Son have reserved is fully paid for. However, Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica will not allow my son to check into the hotel as a minor without my Aunt. They also will not allow my son to transfer into our room because they have a No Transfer Policy. Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica has advised that the only solution is to cancel the room (for my son and aunt). This would mean that my son cannot travel and will lose out on the vacation. They advised we could rebook my son at the current cost, but he would need another adult on the booking. The cost of the trip is more than double what we paid, and the airline is full. He would need to travel on another day. The other option is that my husband and I cancel our room, and then rebook a room for the 3 of us - again at 2 times the cost, and the airline does not have availability. It is very unreasonable that the hotel is refusing to offer a solution to this horrible situation. Considering the room is paid, my son should be able to either stay in the room on his own, or have my husband or myself transfer into the room to stay with him. And a final solution could be that we forfeit the room all together, and my son is transferred into our room. None of these solutions would cost the hotel any money. The last scenario the hotel would benefit from a fully paid for room with no guests. To complicate things even further, my Sister-in-law and Nephew who are travelling with us, will more than likely have to continue with the vacation without any of us. This is not very hospitable, this is not solution based, this is not customer centered. I am so very disappointed. I have attempted to reach out to the hotel to speak with them directly and have been deferred back to my travel agent. My travel agent, her manager and even Westjet Vacations has agreed to work with us to find a reasonable solution however Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica is standing behind their No Transfer Policy and offering cancellation as the only option. I write this message here in the hopes that a reasonable solution can be reached so that my family is not in a position where they have to forfeit a much needed vacation.
Amazing food and staff in a very large resort.

The largest resort on the island. Lots of walking. Large pool could probably use more seating. We were a little disappointed that there was no poolside service and the bartender service seemed a little slow, but not a big deal. Rooms are older, or at least part of the resort is. One part of our group had issues with the a/c and they were moved to another room quickly and without incident. We arrived earlier on day 1.. around 1030am. Of course our room wasn't ready and that's fine, we have dealt with this before and felt we could use the amenities. Here you can, however, you cannot get a towel or access wifi until you get your room keys (almost 5 hours later). But we could eat lunch and use the pool if we wished. So if you are arriving early.. maybe bring a towel. Book any restaurant reservations early. The spots fill up very quick! Food here was amazing. Better than any other resort we have been to on various islands. Both at restaurants and the large buffets. A large variety, well prepared and very friendly, accommodating staff. Beach is so, so. Broken up between rock out croppings and smaller areas to sit. One larger portion at the far end seemed the better spot but we mostly stayed poolside. Pool has adult only areas for those who want a quiter spot, and that was nice. One end of pool was much busier with kids, families and trendy music, while the other was a lot more relaxed, so accommodated many types of traveller's. 5 in our group age 18 to 73 and all enjoyed the facilities.
