Pluses - look of the resort, pool areas. The rest is very questionable. Service is very bad, even rude at times (restaurant La Gourmet was the worst experience in all categories - never go there). Our check-in lasted almost 2 hours, full of mistakes and strange talks. Exhausting! It is true - rooms are musty and our clothes smelled bad... more

My name is Greg and I just returned from the Grand Bahai Principe Bavaro in the Dominican Republic. We did a lot of checking on this resort before hand to ensure we would be satified. My girlfriend and I are very experienced travellers and have been all over the Carribean and have stayed at 3, 4 and 5 star resorts.... more

I will keep my review short and simple. The beach and resort is beautiful and well maintained-thats about it for the positive. Our room smelled, it had a strong musty odor and when i asked them to do something about it they didn't. Needless to say, all our clothes stink and after washing them all, they still smell like hell.... more

Before i begin my review. let me just say that you should never take to seriously someones online review (including me own). everyone goes on vacation expecting something different. and everyone perceives things differently. some people can stand in line for 20 minutes and write a 2 page rant on how terrible the service. Others are more understanding and choose... more

Here is an excerpt from the email I sent when I returned from my trip: I am writing to attempt to express my displeasure with my recent stay at your resort. I purposely waited a few days to send this email because I wanted my anger to subside and I needed to get some rest. My accommodations consisted of adjoining... more

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Principe, Punta Cana side for 2 weeks. We booked our holiday through Thomson travel agents. When we first arrived to the hotel there were some maintenance works going on at the front which was really annoying because you couldnt hear the receptionist. But the reception is so far away it doesnt effect your stay.... more
