Description
Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana - All Inclusive is a large 5-star resort constructed in 2004 and renovated in 2013, offering 780 rooms across 24 three-story villas. The property features extensive facilities including two lagoon-style pools, a children's pool, a kids’ club for ages 4 to 12, and a spa center called Bahia SPA. Guests can enjoy a variety of free water sports like kayaking, snorkeling, and windsurfing for one hour daily, as well as tennis courts and beach volleyball.

The expansive 245,000 m² grounds include a private 500-meter sandy beach just 50 meters from the hotel, with free loungers, umbrellas, and towels. Though the resort is lively with entertainment and activities, reviews note mixed experiences with food quality and customer service.

Location
Located in Arena Gorda - Macao, Section Baigua, the hotel sits 21 km from Punta Cana International Airport, roughly a 40-minute drive. The private beach lies only 50 meters from the accommodation, giving direct access to the first coastline with 500 meters of sandy shore. Nearby, guests will find several restaurants including Restaurante Gourmet El Olivo at 164 meters and Restaurant El Pescador at 327 meters, though reviews of local dining have been mixed. The resort neighbors four other 5-star Bahia Principe properties and features a free shuttle service connecting various points on the large property. The resort is positioned to offer both beach and inland activities within easy reach.

Reviews
The entertainment crew was absolutely amazing and really made the experience. Special shoutout to Juan, Lorena, Frederick, and Ruben, such fun, energetic, and genuinely great people. The bartenders were also fantastic. I rarely knew exactly what drink I wanted, and whenever I asked for “something with ___,” they always came up with creative and delicious drinks. The food was great as well, with lots of variety, and the resort even had a coffee machine and a barista, which was a huge plus for coffee lovers like myself.
The beach was nice, with plenty of seating areas. There was seaweed in the water, but the maintenance crew was constantly cleaning it and making sure the beach stayed accessible.
This was my first time staying at a resort, and while resorts aren’t for everyone, I really enjoyed having a fun, stress-free week with my friend and not having to worry about anything.
That said, there were a few downsides. We noticed ants on the balcony, and both my friend and I had multiple bug bites on our legs, which may have been bed bugs or possibly something from the beach, we couldn’t confirm. Another downside was the cost of excursions, most of which were over $100 USD per person.
Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable vacation with great staff and entertainment.
We had issue with vegetarian and there wa not much to eat other than salads. We asked one more dinner reservation and they denied. Would expect some refund
