Description
Grand Bavaro Princess - All Inclusive is a large 5-star resort established in 1991 and renovated in 2013, located in Punta Cana with 808 rooms spread across a 365,000 m² property. The resort features a tropical park where guests can see flamingos, peacocks, and other birds, adding a unique natural element to the stay. Accommodation options include suites and bungalows such as Family Club Junior Suites, Presidential Double Suites, and Honeymoon Platinum Double Suites. Guests have access to multiple on-site dining options, including five à la carte restaurants (Argentinian steakhouse, Italian, seafood, Eastern cuisine, and Chopin with live music), plus three buffet-style restaurants. The resort offers a wide range of facilities including tennis courts, pools, a spa, fitness center, and a children’s club with a mini-zoo. While the beach is just 30 meters from the property with free loungers and towels, note that the large size of the resort means walking distances can be significant.

Grand Bavaro Princess is located in Gran Bávaro, Punta Cana, 17 km from Punta Cana International Airport (PUJ), 60 km from Iguay city, and 231 km from Santo Domingo. The property is 270 meters from Playa Arena Gorda beach, providing direct beach access with a 300-meter beachfront. Nearby dining options include Restaurant Gabi Beach (298 m) and Aqua Restaurant (316 m), both highly rated. The resort’s large grounds include shaded walking paths and a tropical park, making it easy to explore without leaving the property.

This place was a huge disappointment. We stayed in a suite in the villa, and the air conditioning during the day was completely useless; the room never cooled down. It only started blowing somewhat cool air at night when the outside temperature dropped. There's no elevator, so if you don't call a bellhop, you're lugging your luggage up and down stairs yourself. It's at least a ten-minute walk to the restaurant, and in the daytime sun, you'll be drenched in sweat by the time you get there. One morning, I walked into the bathroom to find a large chunk of plaster from the ceiling on the floor. If that had hit my head, even if it didn't crack my skull, getting plaster in my eyes would have been awful. The internal phone in the room didn't connect to any department. On checkout day, I couldn't reach concierge for a pickup and really didn't want to drag my luggage for ten minutes in the scorching sun to the front desk. Luckily, I used my cell phone to make an international call to the front desk, and a luggage cart finally came. At checkout, the front desk even had the nerve to ask if I enjoyed my stay. After hearing my complaints, there wasn't a single word of comfort, and even their fake smile disappeared. It was an attitude of 'you're leaving anyway,' completely unbothered. If you don't want to suffer, absolutely avoid this place.

I recently stayed at the Grand Bavaro Princess Resort in Punta Cana for 4 nights, and unfortunately my experience was extremely disappointing due to a THEFT.
After returning home, I discovered that jewelry I had carefully stored inside a pouch within my makeup and skincare bag was missing. These were not items left out in the open — they were placed בתוך my personal belongings, which indicates that someone went through my things.
During my stay, my sunglasses also disappeared. At the time, I assumed I had misplaced them and even checked with Lost & Found, but nothing was reported. Given what I discovered later, I now believe those were stolen as well.
This situation is very distressing. Beyond the monetary value, the jewelry had sentimental importance as they were gifts. What is most concerning is the lack of security — guests should feel safe leaving their belongings in their room without fear of someone searching through their personal items.
I have contacted the hotel and requested an investigation, but I want to make other travelers aware of this experience.
I strongly recommend exercising caution if staying at this resort.

One of the best resort I had ever been! It would be perfect if there is also a free transportation to the airport but all was great! I will definitely comeback again..

Grand Bávaro Princess – All Inclusive was a great experience.
The best part, without a doubt, is the beach: wide, soft sand, turquoise water, and a truly beautiful view. Perfect for relaxing, long walks, and spending the whole day by the ocean. The location is excellent and the resort feels comfortable to move around.
Overall, the service was very good: friendly staff, quick to help, and always with a good attitude. The facilities are well maintained, with several dining options and plenty of areas to relax. The food was better than expected, especially at the à la carte restaurants—well presented dishes and great taste.
Ideal for solo vacationing, couples or families looking for a large all-inclusive resort with an amazing beach and a calm atmosphere. I would definitely come back.

Grand Bavaro Princess – Stay Dec 24–31, 2025
We stayed at the Grand Bavaro Princess over the holidays from December 24–31, 2025. Overall, it is a beautiful resort with many positives, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.
Pros
The resort is absolutely beautiful and very well maintained.
Rooms are spacious, modern, and comfortable.
The agriculture and animal sanctuary is a standout feature — peacocks, swans, turtles, and parrots roaming the grounds make the resort feel unique and special.
It’s an extra-large resort with many restaurant options and lots to explore.
The cappuccino and crêpe bar was our favorite spot — the best cappuccino on the resort and a perfect place to start and end the day.
The beach is stunning and well kept.
Buffet breakfast was the best of the three meals and very consistent.
Overall, the food quality is good.
Some bartenders were fantastic — especially at the Del Mar Beach Café, where service was friendly and fun.
This resort is huge so get ready to walk or take the train.
Cons
Guest service is not very service-oriented. Lady at Guest Services did a great job trying to resolve some issues, overall the staff did not seem focused on making the guest truly happy.
We had several issues with our room, and the response felt minimal rather than proactive.
There is a noticeable language barrier with many staff members, which made communication difficult.
Ordering at the à la carte restaurants was often frustrating — orders were frequently incorrect or not what we requested. Because of this, we eventually opted out of most restaurants and relied more on the buffet.
Nightly entertainment was okay, but we’ve experienced better shows at other Punta Cana resorts.
Overall
The Grand Bavaro Princess is a gorgeous resort with excellent grounds, great rooms, and a beautiful beach. It has a lot of potential and many things to love. However, improvements are needed in service quality, communication, and restaurant accuracy.
Despite the drawbacks, I would still recommend the resort, especially for its beauty and atmosphere — just with the understanding that some service improvements are necessary to truly elevate the experience.

It's a big resort and the service is subpar as any in Punta Cana. Nothing is fast, with good quality and makes a positive impression. The beach front is excellent, the food scores 5-6 out of 10. The room is spacious but lacks upkeep. It doesn't really compromise the stay but can be annoying. Loose toilet, windows that don't seal, faulty front door.... bottom line, if you're a guest that requires good quality and bang for your bucks, think twice.

We stayed 2 weeks and it already became one of our favourite holiday.
Staff are the star of the hotel. They are very friendly, all of them smiling and very helpful in every situation. I never seen happy employees like them in any other sector.
Resort is massive but they sort out everything for your comfort to avoid the tiredness. There are cute train stops, they help you travel inside the resort. There are buffet, restaurants, bars close to the beach, to the pools and to the rooms. So you can access to food and drinks easily.
Beach was the cleanest of Bavaro and everything is in order. If there are seaweeds, hotel cleaning them very quick with the tractor.
Food wise, above the all inclusive standards and drinks are really the best.
Room was very comfy and big enough but old style stone makes humidity smell sometimes. But humidity didn’t effect to our stay.

Consistently good food here. Coming early is better (when the doors open) to get fresh and hot off the grill.
