Bahia Principe Grand La Romana

We recently stayed at this resort for one week which was very relaxing. We enjoyed every minute in our stay, on the beach and every where we go . All the staff were very friendly throughout the the entire resort. The food was amazing with variety to choose from. The room was very clean. The entertainment was good and engaging. We had a lovely time. Highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I took a week vacation here. The staff is incredible, and they keep you engaged in many activities. We stayed in the junior suite which was very nice but my only complaint is that they are a little out dated and I found myself looking for outlets! Room service was free and very quick. We were able to go to all 5 restaurants, but you need to book on the app within 10 days because every restaurant is always full and hard to get in to. The buffets and snack bar are open to everyone. Food and drinks were great except the breakfast. That was the only meal we were disappointed with. Also a big let down was the water on the beach is not clear. I was expecting crystal clear water and it is not since it’s near a river. Lots of jellyfish. Other than that the resort is absolutely beautiful with plenty of bars, a swim up bar, restaurants and 3 pools. Francisco and Alexis were amazing. Nathaniel was also a great server and extremely friendly. Would definitely recommend !!

The hotel and accommodation was very good. The service was excellent and the food was good. The staff made the holiday. They were always friendly, professional and very helpful. The guys at the pool bar were very good, I can't remember all the names but Darwin, Rigoberto and Mary are but a few of the staff. Antonio the hotel manager was always on hand and very polite and cheerful. A big thank you to Maribel, I think she was a medic, for assisting me when I had a fall near my room after a day in the sun and a few too many tequilas! Thank you to all the staff at the hotel

I had a great time on my family vacation, oscar is the best waiter they have he is the sweetest makes you feel extremely welcomed and always has a friendly and welcoming demeanor. The resort is peaceful. And had a beautiful view. The ocean this time of year had alot of jellyfish so be careful. But the pool was always clean. If you ever at the bar at the pool look for luis cardona he is so funny and makes great drinks.

Review from easy-going travellers who have been to over a dozen resorts. Been to Punta Cana 4 times, but this was our 1st time in La Romana. This should be no more than a Three star resort. Everything was just fine. Don't expect anything more than "fine". Pros: Accommodated request to change from 2 double bed room to 1 King room. Assisted us with storing our baby's breast milk in a freezer Beach is great - no sargassum, well maintained with people raking regularly, very calm waters, quiet & chill vibes Pool was spacious and clean with a good amount of pool chairs (as long as you got there before 9am to reserve one). Service at the swim up bar is pretty slow unless you insert yourself in and ask for a drink. Food is just.. okay. Buffet has plenty of options to give you a variety of choices, but the quality of everything is just 'fine'. Most items are overcooked, bland, and lacking flavour. But we're not picky eaters, so we never go hungry lol. The food at the a la carte restaurants was slightly better than the buffet (we tried La Pescador and La Gourmet), although even there the service was lacking and staff couldn't speak English which was a surprise. Needs improvement (everything): Property is dated and everything needs a full refresh. Interlocking brick pathways have hundreds of cracked bricks and you can hear & feel them rattled under your feet and stroller as you walk by. We joked that it was a xylophone walkway and we were making music as we walked on it. Funny.. but this can be a big injury risk if not resolved. Room is spacious but dated. We like a firm bed, but this bed was rock hard, and the pillows are paper thin. Even after getting a massage at the Spa (also just 'fine'), my back was in so much pain after 5 nights on this terrible bed. We woke up sore every morning (and we are only in our early 30s, not old people who are always sore lol). At checkin, reception didn't give any breakdown of description of property, map, amenities, etc. They were sending us on our way with no information, then we had to ask about each thing we wanted information on.. resort map, restaurants, reservations, spa, etc etc.. this information should be explained to every guest in detail at check-in. Service is just okay. It felt like most staff were not genuinely happy to be serving you, especially bartenders (and we were tipping at every drink). When walking past employees, many dont smile or say hello, they don't have the typical server manners of letting you walk before them at a restaurant. 90% of employees speak almost no English. I understand that English is their 2nd language, but this was the least English I've experienced in a resort. Even managers couldn't speak English and wouldn't be able to list the ingredients in a meal you want to order. We managed to get by with the broken Spanish we knew + the broken English they knew. Not faulting anyone for not being multi-lingual.. but I've been to over a dozen resorts and this was the least English speaking staff I've experienced. There were a LOT of spanish-speaking Dominicans on vacation here, over 50% of the visitors that we came across were Dominican. I wonder if it is from the resident villas on the resort that locals may have purchased. This may have something to do with hiring staff that cannot speak any English, if majority of the guests are Dominicans that speak Spanish. Entertainment was fine. Definitely on the lower end compared to other resorts we've been to. Poolside Entertainment was pretty basic and low energy- aerobics, dance lessons, etc. We had a child with us so we just sat away from it. We only went to the adult evening entertainment once and didn't go back after witnessing a pretty brutal rendition of Greece Lightning lip sync / dance. I cant speak to the other nights of Entertainment, but hope it got better. All in all, I'd only come back here if they updated that terrible bed and if I got an AMAZING price.
