We enjoyed our week at the Grand Bahia very much. Check in went quite smoothly and we liked the fact that the Porter put us and the luggage in a tram and drove us right to our room. We were in building 30 which was about half way to the lobby and half way to the beach. It is a... More

The resort was still very nice this time, however, this being our second visit in 3 years, I found the staff less helpful, and certainly fewer of them. The food was "good", but not nearly what it was before in the main dining room, but still wonderful at the specialty restaurants. We had a very difficult time getting little things... More

I travelled to Grand Bahia Principe this April. I must say the hotel was disapointing! Hords of tourists all packed in a gigantic propriety!

We went to the Bavaro for our honeymoon from May 5-May 12. We were with a vacation group, which was nice, because they immediately took us aside to give us a briefing and tips for the week.
