NOTE: When we arrived, we were immediately upgraded to the adults only Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganvulle connected to the resort. So this review is for that resort
We wen to the Dominican Republic to see Winter League Baseball games and we chose this resort based on its location between La Romana and San Pedro de Macoris. We booked through CheapCarribean.com and got a reservation for The Grand Bahia Principe La Romana. We were picked up at the airport and taken to the resort. As soon as we arrived, they told us they were upgrading our room to the Adult Only resort for no extra charge.
Eddie our “butler” was fantastic. He helped us with our bags, brought us champagne and rum and had a bath drawn for us when we arrived home from our tour, complete with bubbles and rose pedals.
Everything was great. The staff was attentive, the pools were nice, great swim up bars and a wonderful beach. We even took a mini sail boat out one afternoon. All included in our resort.
The rooms were nice and big and the maids cleaned every day. We had a nice balcony and the front staff helped us find taxis for the baseball games.
Only downside was the food which could be better, but I’d still give 3 out of 5 stars. There was enough to eat even if some of the dishes were a little disappointing. That being said, they offered us champagne when we entered the cafeteria, so no problem.
Overall, I think, for the price we paid and the quality of the service, and the location, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this place if you are going to see baseball or just want a nice relaxing week in the sun for a good price.
And by the way, don’t worry about news stories. Everything was just fine. I had heard to avoid the in room alcohol, but it looks like they have unopened airplane bottles now, so I believe everything is safe.
