Comments from line_66_ on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

The hotel is beautiful and cleanliness prevails. The room, in small buildings with 8 units are quite spacious. We had a private balcony where we could see our next door neighbor which is an advantage for me. The hotel staff is friendly and outgoing and they do everything they can to meet our demands. The buffet food is varied and tastes good.

Negative :

The remoteness of the hotel for a trip we must make a long journey by taxi. One trick to save money, hire a taxi service to many. We talk about $ 80 U.S. to go to Cabarete (1:00 drive). Reservations for a la carte restaurant are to be upon your arrival or you will not have more space and there are rotary closure so that we could not go at all restaurants. The food is good no more. beer is good for wine but you're better off taking the white wine and drink, which are made from mix and are not extraordinary. One last point, if you love beaches, avoid this place. Due to a significant erosion problem, they must protect the beach with sand bags and found in the ocean breezes waves. Personally it does not bother me but I know for some it is very important. Malgaré these few negatives, my stay was very pleasant and the temperature was nice to go all week. A nice place to rest.

Comments from Johanne on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

During our stay we noticed that the hotel took the known means to counter certain diseases after having experienced a closure for several months has had a client who brings a virus and infects the place. Purel of it are everywhere on the site. The resort is exceptional and the staff very courteous. Whether in restaurants, cleaning staff, the customer service, everyone is very nice.

Negative :

We had our second visit to this hotel, the first time we went there three years, everything was perfect and that's why we're back. Rooms in need of a facelift, they still use metal keys, air conditioners do not work nearly over, run fridges and many do not cool drinks, the ceiling fans do not work, outdated furniture. cons .. but everything is clean! Also, the buffet is redundant, they serve pickles, olives for breakfast! but there is something for everyone. It's sad to see such a beautiful site with an attentive staff both in decline. In addition, the beach was devastated by the storms. When we left, the staff worked very hard to repair the damage, adding huge pockets of sand in the sea to cut the waves that damage the beach. There are many rocks on the side elevation and one to enter the water but once you're there, it is very beautiful.

Comments from Carbonneau Robert on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

Very nice and quiet paysible. We were four adults who loved the beach, the bar and food. Excellent service filled with courtesy from staff very friendly and always smiling. The food is good and the buffet offers a wide variety of dishes. The cleanliness and rooms is exceptional. During our stay there had releases it and despite the influx of school children it was pretty quiet. We were able to see that security, ubiquitous, has done an outstanding job. I highly recommend this place of dreams

Negative :

Pouir those who love to dance, this is not the ideal place because there's no ballroom or dance bar. There is a piano bar that I likes to call a piano death because the atmosphere is not there. We found the evenings a little long. In the evening there is entertainment before the presentation of a show, this animation is poor and is in bad taste. So we enjoyed our stay at the dance but he did not adsoluement. It's a shame because it's missing it so that it is perfect.

Comments from Jean-Sebastien , Yves Langelier , Malenfant on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

A big plus is that the CLEAN is very present on the site always someone to pick up and to clean and more one is obliged to disinfect their hands with a sanitizer gel in ALL restaurants. In terms of the reception staff (Golden Club) everyone was listening you'd request a room on the second floor at the time of booking and we had a room at ground level but a small request and hop here we are back in a 2nd floor room with a carrier bag to bring us another room was not even a force after our suitcases. Many activities on the site very big animation team did what they could with what they had despite the weather. A very good thing is that there are no sellers tiring on the beach that you achalent to buy excursions, and no itinerant vendors selling souvenirs. In terms of vegetation is much EQUEURANT yen and always maintained. ************************************************** TO MAKE A CHANGE ****** SEVERAL COMMENTS Further claims WORLD CAN BE A 2ND DAVOIR CLEE FOR ROOM *** FREE *** IT IS SUFFICIENT TO ASK RECEPTION AND NOT EST Verily COMPLICATED AND THEY DO SOBSTINENT NOT EVEN. ************************************************** ******

Negative :

Frankly for a 4 * sup its a 3 * sup. I've seen much better on the table service in Cuba (Varadero) and the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana-). In terms of bookings for a la carte restaurant is quite difficult as the site is full of a crack were to eat a last service at 9:30 p.m. am 2 of 4 for a 3 day period .... Regarding the beach do not go to this site to the beach as it is quite devastated especially on the side of the club is ahead by golden waves. pockets of sand were deposited in rampart to protect it everywhere but say it is not pretty. there are a dozen very large pockets of sand that are later in the sea has'm around 35metres from the beach and c, is not very nice. I know the hotel did not control the weather but it was nice that 3 days in the week and it's weird but beautiful sunshine and 10 minutes after it's Intense Thunderstorm. For me I would not return to this hotel and I probably would not recommend it, but I'll probably go to other hotels in the Gran Bahia Principe chain to clarify: bahia principle means (4 * 4 * sup) and gran bahia principle (5 *) in-PUNTA CANA final ***** YOU MISSED ME *****

Comments from Sylvie on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

hotel very clean, cheerful and helpful employees, entertainment ... hat the morning till late they struggle with the smiles on the whole we eat pretty well, the site is well laid out and beautiful landscape, nature is in full maturity, tours, jeep safari, 4x4, are to do the dune buggy also, it's worth it to rent a scooter for 24 hours $ 30 and visit the surrounding villages, I found this area safe even in outside the complex

Negative :

the beach, especially the golden coast, not vargeuse, I spent more time in the pool that I never do usually in the south, the first day it was the spring break, so be warned it is better for my 22 year old son it was paradise, but we say that we were going to bed tot.Nous have not been spoiled by the sun, I do not know if it's always like that in this period, yet the better to learn, I will not return to this hotel, beach, ca does not count if more than that for you I recommend it for the rest

Comments from Amélie on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

I just returned from a trip of two weeks in fact I went just 1 week on 2 ... the hotel was overboker then they offered to leave to Samana in two hotels for a period of 6 days ... we has not regretted any disappointment ... san juan ... In fact if people who read me are still in the process of drinking as holes, to the swimming pool, entertainment and eating fine, but nothing, well it is your hotel ... If you go to the beach, nice weather, heat, room, etc. ben forget that 's not for you ... we are in peak season I went from 6 to 21 March so what more could, very windy out there no matter what time of year when there are plenty of Winterlude activities included in water but no way to do anything there all the time the red flag ... and after lunch too cold to stay on the waterfront, go to the pool but that's all strung like mullots you can not find room, we were found in the mud on hahaha the lawn The animation is good, they travaiellent like crazy and still are shaped in the evening I wow my hat ... the food is good, there is not much to say .. we ate well toujiours is also on there best but it gets worse, too, have not been sick and we were generally satisfied with the food .. except when a la carte restaurant is full when you eat cold very cold ... I'm not finished my plate I was lifted and we went to the buffet hahah the best a la carte restaurant is Italian (lasagna) after the seafood (grouper stuffed with shrimp, there is to the sentence) and the mediterranean (salmon) and then for the Mexican fatitas ... The beverage bin is when you change you see the hotel différencce quality drinks if you're satisfied ... in the 2nd week we went to Samana and the drinks were wow, not the same .. . There's lots going to the pool, it's a cheap hotel so young =! but young people who do not drink hahaha and yet I went through there, but it seems that for 2 weeks Tabarouette you're pretty tired of seeing this ... there are good excurions, the jeep safari and everyone loves the buggie is sickening, services bringing candy you start young, it's trippy, you come back wet and muddy in the mud, but it really is whales for fun ... well ... I liked parcequon has seen a lot and it took 1 hour 30 minutes before seeing (in waves) people later in the week it took 2:30 ET ben's vomited before seeing then people have been sick and did not like is the chance ... Has left the beach is much nicer and even off it is water clear and green, beautiful c, is of much value Quil sale this ammene lot of sand ... the seveurs erviables are very dynamic and young, not a word to say either ...

Negative :

The room is the minimum, a bed, a balcony, sucked furniture, toilet ... it's small and old but they are struggling to clean never a word to say about that ... but it is small and it depends on both the AC rooms feel much smoking especially in section 19 ... labor représantants air transat ... very disappointed .. I left my kodak on the pool in another hotel samana 1 hour after I asked the representative if she could communicate with the representative of transatlantic the other bahia principle to go on the pool if it was my KADAK I knew exactly where he was vennais I take pictures but we had to go back to san juan, they made me believe that they had put the hotel staff over there and even told me they were themselves ... BOULSHIT ... the kodak stayed there all day are qc who saw all day, since no one was presented, they did some research and I have finally recognized at the airport, returning one week later, they said the hotel had not done anything ... what a disappointment ... The hotel has even said that we were French in France ... hahaha have a chance that people can count on honest! Inform you if you are in the springs break me but I did my due agte a mistake because we were in it ... it's not fun at all the broken glass everywhere, condom on floors in hallways, drinking, Cree on floors and on the website and what about the battles of cocks and then I'm not talking about animals hahah ouff ca did not make sense .. I will never go back! this is my 6th all inclusive, there are a lot better elsewhere!

Comments from jcls99 on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

The site is very clean, the vegetation is superb. The animation is continuous. The employees are very nice. The rooms of the standard section are a little tired, but the 2nd floor rooms are golden side much better. The a la carte restaurants are good, the Mediterranean is the best. The buffet is large and varied, but there is a little wait. Value, the Golden Section is a very good choice, at this price, we will definitely return many times. Diamond section is the most beautiful and private restaurant buffet internationnal is excellent and very enjoyable.

Negative :

Booking Over the entire period of 24-02 to 10-03-2009. They have transferred dozens of couples in Samana for a few days with free trips. The reception staff at night is poor. Any side Golden Beach is devastated and under construction. Dozens of bags of sand are everywhere on the beach. The beach side is really beautiful Diamond. Amateur lettuce, you will be disappointed, no lettuce during our stay of two weeks. Wine and drinks are low in alcohol. If you went to Gran Bahia Punta Cana or Riviera Maya, do not expect the same quality of room, buffet, beverages and restaurants, but at half price, this is a very good choice.

Comments from Mario Et Lise on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

Very nice location. Huge site and very clean, no matter where you are on the site. Staff very friendly and attentive to your demandes.Les buffet menu very varied, even counter sante.Tres little wait at the buffet, despite the number of people on the site. Go to the march to chip Indiana, good price and we speak the same français.Aller take a little trip to the casino. Many "evening entertainment on the Pueblo Principe. I am going back at least another day.

Negative :

The beach can be not the most beautiful of the Republic, but everything else on the site compensates.

Comments from Nancy & Marc on Bahia Principe San Juan :

Positive :

Priority no. One of the hotel is the friendliness and cleanliness; We had to wash our hands at the entrance of all restaurants, there are bins and ashtrays everywhere on the site and on the beach, staff is really nice and courteous. The food is excellent. Long live the Bahia Principe!

Negative :

Not much to say except that water was falling out, go to Playa Grande, which is 20 minutes from the hotel and especially do not forget your swimsuits and your cameras. (For those who will choose the Golden Club there is almost always waiting time is to book the a la carte restaurants, activities or have access to internet).
