Bahia Principe Grand La Romana - All Inclusive

* Extremely helpful staff * Nice pool and beaches * Great buffet * Pretty good a la carte restaurants

* water in the ocean is muddy (unless you go to the farthest beach, ~20 mins walk) * a lot of jelly fishes (unless you go to the farthest beach, ~20 mins walk) * free cocktails have taste of water and there is no other option * A/C has 4 settings - off, very cold and we even did not try 3rd and 4th to do not start another ice age

The beach was very nice. The staff was fantastic. I just hope the staff get paid well and that their wages give them a good standard of living. I don't like the thought of them working long hours, serving our every whim and having a poor standard of living with very little vacation and low wages. Food was good. The booze was okay but I'd love to know truly how watered down it is. Bahia Principe is very affordable so I'm not complaining, I'm just interested in knowing. The facilities were good. The choice of excursions was fantastic. We had a fantastic time.

That was an excellent stay ! Very good personel, kind. Good selection of drinks. Good ambiance. You can eat at 5am lol ! Excellent food. The only thing I can reproach is that after multiple messages they never answered about transport from aeroport. So, we ended up getting taxi (twice as expensive as official transport) So, for everything looking, go to Bahia website and look for transfer. I found it too late ☹ Again this hotel worth being visited and stayed in !

Everything went Excellent from the Room, recreation area (pool, beach ) and the Amazing Dinner every night the great dinner at el pescador with the assistance of Yoselyn and the Amazing treat and attention of Mauro the director with my mother my sister and I, and Oscar the waitress lovely guy . Will always be thankful for it. Amazing Resort ❤️Will definitely be back .

The accommodation for Persons with disabilities,it will be great if the property can have more than just 2 wheel chairs and to make sure that all are in good condition and well maintained

I stayed at the Bahai Principe Grand La Romana for 10 days before going to the Hilton Romana for a week to meet friends. After comparing them I can tell you Bahai Principe is way better. The staff is nicer, fun and cool unlike the snobby Hilton employees. The buffet is literally three times bigger and better (plus you can serve yourself). No one tries to upsell you - everything is included. If you ask for a specific brand you get top shelf alcohol from the bars. The outdoor pool is the nicest (and biggest) one I've ever seen. The Hilton pool is half the size of the Bahai Principe. Overall the Hilton was five times more expensive and not as nice as the Bahai Principe. Both are only 30 minutes apart. I used they gym daily which was good. The kids club (mini club) is good for young kids like 5-8. Lot's of entertainment but by far the coolest thing was the Beach Foam Party! They spray blue and pink foam about 4 feet deep and have a dance party on the beach. Super fun. Some fire dancing shows, a supercool guy who plays saxophone etc... I had enough entertainment that there was no reason to leave the resort. There is also a small casino which we went to one night. It gets hopping around eleven at night. We saw a dance club but never had the energy to go inside. The food was literally jaw-dropping. That's the biggest buffet I've ever seen. Sea fruits, fresh tropical fruits, traditional stuff like a pizza and pasta bar as well as great salads. They change themes every night. Breakfast is absolutely super - they serve anything you can possibly think of. Lunch is amazing - and they always have a huge baked fish or beef roast in addition to the other baked and roasted fish they serve. The desserts are literally works of art and cover three or four full tables. The guests can also book restaurants instead of eating at the main buffet each night. I tried them all and would recommend Le Gourmet as the one to book.

The main weakness is the beach water which is dark and has seaweed. It's not crystal clear like further up in Romana (at the Hilton). They've just added five new small beaches but they are extremely shallow - even all the way out they are only 2 feet deep. We swam in the ocean but the family didn't really like the seaweed and clarity of the water. However, you do get like a mile of pretty much abandoned beach down the other end of the resort which is great for hunting shells and jogging. We ended up staying in the pool most of the time.

We were upgraded to Bahia Bougainvillea. So the review will be about this hotel. Rooms, service, food, drinks, activities all was great. Concierge Gabriel and guest service Katarina were really helpful and professional. French restaurant is extraordinary. Service and food are like in expensive restaurants.

Electricity was cutting off very often. And without electricity there is no water. Been left in a shower few times with a soap on.

- Everything! Especially the staff:katharina at reception, joel at le gourmet, luis in el pescador restaurant, jonphy at las olas restaurant... all the entertainment guys gabriel, keisy, etc..they all made our stay so fun and welcoming! - our room was really cmfortable and we were happy with the covid safety measures. - we heard people didnt like the food but when you make peace with the fact that it is an all you can eat anytime and thy are cooking in mass..ita all fine! - the special romantic dinner on the beach was a dream for our anniversary! - they also have great policies for those in quarantine.

the food and staff kindness

the sea and the beach are not that good

Beach was good. Water was still cold and not much algae. The dinner staff was great youleisi and Mateo provided great service. We were upgraded to the Boungaville,but we chose to eat in the Grand dining room because the dining staff was so nice and friendly. They provided excellent service.

There were some mosquitos and you had to use repellent in the room balcony.

Staff and facilities were great, property huge and clean and well worth the vacation. There were a few staff that stood out on our stay, primarily buffet staff that went out of their way to make stay one we will never forget and for that we are forever grateful...

Food, while in large quantity; was really bland, couldn't eat anything (and enjoy it) after day 3... alcohol.... not what I'm used to, the type i liked you had to pay extra for (not apart of the all inclusive experience) but it was an above average resort. Quite a distance from the airport but a fun ride... Beach huugggeeee but was always brown water (never clear blue and beautiful)... place was also filled with large flies and mosquitoes...
