Comments from Vincent Bérubé on Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro :

Positive :

I had read that it was clean and actually it's super clean everywhere. The beach is long, nice and clean. You can walk very far. The waves are not too strong and just enough fun to have fun in the water. The staff is polite. Quiet if you want to relax without too much noise, lovers or family. Do I recommend this hotel? Yes if you meet the criteria mentioned above.

Negative :

The site is REALLY too big. Fortunately we were not too far from the beach so we walked 5 minutes but if you're at the other end you must always take the shuttle. Constente strong smell of gas and diesel vehicles (bus, delivery truck, scooter of staff). Dinners at the maps are pre-booked for us and no real willingness to change the time or the type of resto.Ce is not a hotel for young people or those who like action. It is very quiet even in the lobby of the hotel with the famous player of electronic keyboard (!) Do merit may not be the 5 * 4 * but according to my trips to restaurants précédents.Les cards were buffet style and we were even going to use ourselves!

The nightclub opened its doors only 0:00 to 2:00 AM. Not much to say negative about this hotel.

Comments from Bob on Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro :

Positive :

The Gran Bahia Punta Cana is a destination! . Everything is perfect or nearly so. The food is excellent, the buffets are different every night. There are a lot of customer, but we never expected. The service is excellent, the staff try to talk to you in French if not in English. A beautiful destination.

Negative :

Market vendors in chip inside walls of Gran Bahia vraiments they are annoying, you will negotiate if you want a good price, do not get ripped off with the fact that they do not have the money right For ... rum, cigars and jewelry not too expensive, ask how to get to Nicole (She is out side of the hotel) about 10 to 15 minutes. And be careful at the flea market on the beach, do not get ripped off, you negotiate and not worry they do not pity. If you are not careful you will pay double the price ..... Do not be charmed because he speaks French and knows the cities of Quebec and expresions so connected.

Comments from L.lapointe on Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro :

great site but no waiting anywhere and lacks nothing except to smile at the beach bar and lack of staff at the reception .. by frequent experience of cards due to defective door?? spotlessly clean everywhere amazing for the size of the site parcontre flat? entertainment activities with little entertainment at night but the day very well at the beach and plenty of space and chairs despite the amount of people, beautiful beach although the sea a little dirty in some places that due to huge waves but very parcontre nice, beautiful beach for walkers, continuous shuttles to the site to move if desired

Positive :

cleanliness everywhere, amazing, delicious and varied buffet, tour the beautiful sun set catamaran attention to safari??

Negative :

smile, staff lack much speed, especially at the reception and the beach bar lack of communication between them???, even with tips ... smile not easy at the beach

Comments from mel2076 on Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro :

Positive :

Very nice, clean, spacious. The a la carte restaurants are very good in general (Japanese, Steekhouse, French = excellent). The beach is beautiful and the pool great but very noisy. (The bartender YELL loudly FUEGO FUEGO all day). Grand Chamber but ... (see the negative side) side buffet is good despite the fact that people assign you a seat instead of sitting where you want ...

Negative :

We paid for the golden .... What not to do .... Our room was never made before and 3 hours of this, when it was made. (They missed a day) Our floor was never washed, lack of washcloths, bed and never changed for the night service could use some work. (No idea what it is because we had nothing.) Guaranteed Restaurants (4) you are already assigned to your arrival. But hey. The arrival and departure with Transat were awful. When we arrived, our rooms were not ready (arrival at 12:00. We got our rooms to 4 hours) instead of telling us and we enjoy the sun, they made us fooling around in a room ... When we left, there was no bus to take us to the airport .... it's blah. By the way do you not have made the trip with dolphins ... This is the catch-tourists U.S. $ 140 for 3 minutes swimming with a dolphin worse .... I am generous Finally, this place is huge (not recommended with small children (I have 2 down 2 years) there is nothing for them (water slide, or fountains) Is what I recommend Hotel??? If you are in love, you loved to walk and you do not pay for golden .... yes if not, take another one. At least, the beach was beautiful and warm .. . wow

Comments from B.fortin on Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro :

We were mostly on the recommendation at this hotel for the beach, we were not disappointed, perfect for walkers like us can walk for several hours, the sea of ??the Atlantic is very beautiful. Great quotes, great complex, it takes two days to find, very clean, friendly staff, many Dominicans speak French. Several choices of a la carte restaurant, Japanese restaurant next book absolutely grill. The evening shows are interesting. I highly recommend this hotel.

Positive :

Beautiful beach, very clean

Negative :

No place is designated for smoking, very unpleasant for non-smokers!!

Comments from Veillette Nathalie on Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro :

Positive :

everything is extraordinary. It is clean ca not make sense. They wash comforters after each stays. Disinfects the room every day for ants and other. I say enough Clean like that this is not possible. The buffet is very very good restaurants and a la carte Italian sourtout more ... Staff really nice lots going to the pool and beach. Very large complex but easy to find this. Do not miss this hotel. The very beautiful spectacle

Negative :

The disco opens a little late midnight ... or no negative comment.
