I travelled to Grand Bahia Principe this April. I must say the hotel was disapointing! Hords of tourists all packed in a gigantic propriety!

We went to the Bavaro for our honeymoon from May 5-May 12. We were with a vacation group, which was nice, because they immediately took us aside to give us a briefing and tips for the week. Check-in was very easy, and the rooms were spectacularly clean and very nice. However, the bed was slightly harder than I would have... More

This was my first trip to an all-inclusive resort and I must say it will not be my last. The grounds at Bahia are gorgeous and lush.
