Before leaving for this trip, I read a year's worth of reviews at the Punta Cana and Bavaro sides. I felt prepared, however upon arriving quickly realized that litterally this is not Kansas anymore. The enormity of this place is overwhelming. And because of the "sister " sides it is easy to get turned around. Also...all of the villas look... more

Reading some other reviews on this site, I can't help myself to wonder if we've been to the same place. May I recommend that you also take a look at the reviews on the Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro as it is the same hotel, and the bavaro section is rated 14 of 93 while the Punta Cana section is rated... more

Having visited Cancun last year, my expectations of Punta Cana were very high. Boy, was I wrong to think that they would be similar. First of all, I have to say the Dominican Republic is one of the poorest countries I have visted. The hotel is huge. The room itself was big but we had no water one day until... more

let me start with the good things. the hotel is beautiful. the gold club rooms are great and worth the extra money, marble bathroom with jacuzzi, balcony, robes, slippers and closest to the pool and beach. the beach was the whitest sand and the ocean clear blue...just beautiful. now the not so good news: the food is not good, period.... more

The staff was friendly and attentive, all the restaurants, both buffet and a la carte, had a wide variety of foods prepared just right, and the beach and pools, although well-occupied, never felt crowded, with sunbeds aplenty. The only areas that need... more

Service very poor. Staff tried hard to get tips even though services are not there. Electrician changed bulbs which should have been checked before customer arrives. Once finished changing bulbs, he expected a hand out. Likewise, no towels for 3 days. Mirror faded from oxididation. Hotel is huge so guests were herded like cattles with proper branding. Need trams to... more

This was a great trip. My boyfriend and I just got back from a 9 day vacation there. Everything that I found on trip advisor before leaving was true i.e. Its important to TIP the bartenders if you want to get better drinks (more alcohol), the grounds are beautiful and well maintained, the food was great (we chose the French,... more

We just came home on the 29th of may, was very impressed with the place and grounds.The specialty restruants are hard to get into but we did eat in the seafood restruant and the food was limited to a few choices.I singed up for a deep sea fishing trip and was very dissapointed with the vendor, the vendor was called... more
