The water

Beach is not the best but was ok

Stayed in April 2024

Its not a proper 5 star hotel – bar closes at 11pm, shower in bath, bathroom doors rotting, a/c old and noisy, cools just. We stayed at 4 hotels, while in the Dominican Republic and saved this one for last since it was the most expensive. It badly needs renovation, we moved room 5 times until we were put in 1 with every thing working. A typical palm beach, however, the sea is never clear it varies from a dark/green soup colour to blueish and there are many patches of slimy mud & rocks on the bottom. No this hotel does not make the grade, we went to 3 better and they were all cheaper in price and at better sites.

Food is good and the La Carte restaurants are better than most. Staff are brilliant, helpful and mostly always smiling.

Beach (I was expecting better water)

Room, territory, pools, entertainment

Stayed in March 2024

Upon arrival, the room a/c was not working and it took them 24 hours to get us to a different room. A/C problems on the other room too. Be aware that the advertised location is misleading. This hotel is not in La Romana, but in a secluded place like 20 miles away called Nueva Romana. The beach is not very nice. The nighly entertainment is not at par with others in the area, Punta Cana, etc.

Staff in general provided great, amicable service. They go the extra mile to fulfill the guest's needs. Food was somewhat better than expected. Pool area was clean and nicely kept. Took a golf class with a good and cordial pro.

one pool limits options and artificial beach was closed due to storm a few days before. the water pressure was low and the hot water was out of service one day.

close to santo domingo, not too big and not too small. clean and spacious rooms. good food and options for kids. staff was kind and friendly.

The shower glass door inside the bedroom could be more comfortable and don't have the water spill out the bath.

The people's energy and joy is contagious, made us feel on a real vacation. Everyone is very helpful and kind. Many different activities to do every day. We had such a great time. Thank you guys you are the party 😀 the soul of Bahia Principe!!!!

I think that that there is not much variety in the restaurants menus so work on that a bit. And breakfast- make it till 11am. But that’s little things that didn’t harm the experience

As someone who work in hotels for the last 5 years, boutique hotels and 5 stars hotels. I got to say I’m surprised! The food was surprisingly very good!!!! In the buffet and in the restaurants of the hotel. All of the staff are very kind, nice and helpful I want to thank to everyone and especially darliana and heury from guest service who took care of everything I asked for. Ronal from the front desk who helped me to get my medications on time with pleasure and a big smile! Also drabi, Alejandro, aldo and the rest of the front desk staff who was always helpful and with a big smile. Camili and margarita from housekeeping who were so nice and adorable:) Jose and Francisco from the itailian restaurant, and Juan from the French restaurant - serve with a smile and small talks which is very important. And the one and only - my favorite - Alfred Bautista :) Keeps the energy high in the sky Always here to help with a smile Thank you all for making my time in the DR unforgettable!!! I will be back soon. I promise ♥️

The beach was terrible not a Caribbean ocean at all. The restaurants needed reservations and it was so difficult to get the reservations and the rooms had too much roaches big ones

The Entertainment was excellent

Stayed in November 2023

the rains ruined the beach while we were there so that was disappointing, but not their fault. The rooms do look a little worn out and might need a touch up. There was a lack of communication resources, we never knew when the pool/beach grill opened or closed.

Service was good, kid friendly, pool was nice, small and easy to walk around, buffet had good options, the a la carte restaurants were really good. The spa was really nice. They also had a lot of activities during the day and at night to entertained us.

It is said in the previous question.

Everything, excepts the beach, but is not your fault o lack of service or cleaness...WERE THE AMOUNT OF SEAWEED. That's the only reason.

Stayed in September 2023

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...

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...

Beach needs easier access. Since shore is been washed away.

Specialty restaurants were excellent. activities were good.

Stayed in September 2023

The waters of the beach was filled with jelly fish. Made it impossible to enter the waters. Pool only.

Service and staff were superb. Special thank you to front desk and to senor Gomez of the restaurant service, for going the extra mile with a smile.

Outside of our rooms smelled like sewage at times. Our initial room also had the sewage smell and hot switched.

Management and employees were proactive at addressing issues right away. They are also working hard to improve their service. Very friendly staff especially the entertainment team.

They are missing entertainment activities during the day and night

Everything is close

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.

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.

No wifi connection in the rooms, and restaurant reservations should be noted in advance
