Everything about this resort was absolutely great except for the size and location of the beach. The beach was way to far away from the Premier part of the resort and to make matters worse our room was the furthest possible room from the beach on the whole entire complex! The beach was far to small for the number of... More

Hi, Just got back from one week in Punta Cana at the Grand Bahia Principe Premier. We are so desapointed as we were expecting (and paid for) a five star which it isn't. We were told we would have full access to the resort including buffet and it wasn't the case. When the employee called to see how our trip... More

My friend and I stayed in the Premier and we were really nervous because of all the bad reviews. I had nothing to worry about. I just want to say that overall the hotel was wonderful. I understand why some people had their issues, but it really was a wonderful and relaxing vacation. I would go back in a heartbeat.... More

Feb 23-March 1st , I am so trying to be fair on this review.. Room was clean but way to far from everything. I think if they had somewhere to have coffee for early risers like myself It would nhave been a little better. IF THEY GOT A BETTER SUQUEST REP it would be better as well. I didnt even... More

We, 4 couples have just returned from our second time at the Gran Bahia Principe Premier Section. We stayed here from February 20 until March 2. We had a wonderful time! We love this area and even though we booked in the Bavaro Section, we requested the Premier Section. When we arrived, we were quickly checked in, given the white... More

We stayed at the GBP, Premier section, from Feb 4 until Feb 11. Travelled from Calgary through Sunquest/Thomas Cook. 11 PM deprature. Flight was relatively uneventful. 5 AM breakfest served, not very good. Tourist cards are included in the price of vacation, which cost 10 dollars per person. Unfortunately on our flight they ran out of cards and a number... More
