Jan 21, 2026IF YOU LIKE QUIET AND CALM THIS RESORT IS FOR YOU!
We loved this resort so much that we will be going back next winter. The people there were 50+ and there were no wild parties, over drinking or bubba mugs. The bars closed early which was fine with us. As for the food, it was great. A lot of choices and they had a chef's grill that would cook different types of fish and prepare pasta for you. I don't know how people can complain about variety as most people only have 2 cereal boxes in their cupboard. The a la carte restaurants were great! The Don Pablo was amazing and they mentioned formal wear on their website, how people show up in shorts and a t-shirt is beyond me. The beach is private and very nice, close to 1/4 mile long. Try a mojito at the lobby bar and the coffee at breakfast is excellent! All in all it as a great holiday.

Jan 17, 2026Just back. A couple tips.
Just got back and a couple notes. On your way there get a bottle of Pepto and/or any meds you might need. I paid $28 US for a bottle of Pepto at the hotel market. Same for sunblock. We paid $45 US for sunblock. Not criticizing... just making a point. The hotel was great. Insanely clean. We opted for the romantic couples dinner out on the deck for $110. That was worth it. The gym was nice. Bring binoculars if you are there during the whale season. We watched whales with binos from our room. Bring a pool/beach bag and tervis/insulated cups.

Jan 09, 2026No longer a Luxury Resort
We booked through American Airlines Vacations. They have this listed as an all-inclusive luxury resort. This is incorrect information! We arrived for my birthday week and we had to pay an additional $500 for all inclusive! The rooms were dated. Our first room had a shower malfunction and a black slimy substance coming out of the jacuzzi jets (I have pictures). The staff did move us to a different room that wasn’t much better! The food was horrible and there were very limited options that they kept running out of! They make no effort to keep flies off of the food either. I will say that most of the staff was pleasant, but the place needs a complete renovation!!!!! We would’ve left, but we’d spent money that we didn’t have for this to be all-inclusive!

Dec 29, 2025Dilapidation
Dilapidation and general lack of care is apparent across the board. It is clear that Bahia Principe has lost interest in this resort (perhaps coinciding with the downgrade to "Grand" from the prior "Luxury" title). In our ground level oceanview room we saw that all outward facing doors were unable to be locked and dead ants piled under our couch cushion. These issues were (haphazardly) fixed after we complained, with one door not entirely fixed and some ants still popping up every so often. Across the hotel, holes and cracks are seen everywhere. Rusty bolts can be found on our balcony (thankfully I had a tetanus shot recently!). Water jets in pools are broken, jacuzzi is cold (which actually can be nice on a hot day). Despite the website claiming three a la carte restaurants, only two are operating as we are "out of season" in December. Most of what is said on grandbahiaprincipesamana.com is either out of date or incorrect. There are no snorkels, kayaks, or other sports equipment available. In spite of all this, the service was friendly albeit slow and at times haphazard (requiring multiple calls to get things looked at). The food was also good and the beach was quite nice. Overall, I probably won't be booking again with Bahia Principe. I saw people make similar complaints and decided to photograph these issues once it became apparent that they were indeed as bad as they described.

Dec 27, 2025Not for Handicaps
This place has ZERO accessibility for handicaps on a wheelchair. Too pricey for the average food and almost ZERO entertaintment. They can only offer outdated rooms with a nice balcony view but you could find somewhere else much cheaper. Service personnel at the bufet are really nice. The counter personnel would not do much to accomodate or solve issues unless pressured. The beds are uncomfortable. I came here in 2023 and it was much better. They have downgraded almost everything they used to offer before.
