Bahia Principe Escape Aquamarine

We stayed at the Bahia Principe in June 2026 for a special celebration. The overall experience was mixed with positives and dissatisfaction. Positives: Personnel overall are friendly and customer-focused; the gardens are beautiful and well kept. However, we were dissatisfied on the following: rooms are incredibly outdated, rusted bathrooms and 5 of our rooms had AC issues; the music in the pools and bars is low quality and you can barely appreciate it; the nightclub is NOT included in your stay and incredibly expensive; the food quality is OK but not to the standards of an All-inclusive; when the buffet is closed, on multiple occasions the snack bar/grill area by the pools only offered chips and salsa/no personnel available for support; check in process is complex, they should consider an express check in line; and lastly the entertainment around the pool needs more structure and pool hours should be extended. It gets pretty boring to be around at times.

We stayed at the Bahía Príncipe Aquamarine. We had a pool side room on the third floor no elevator! The room was very clean . Atmosphere was a lot of fun thanks to Robert and the Dance team there! I recommend you download the App and book all your Ala cart restaurants usually allowed 5 days before your trip .. loved Meat restaurant and Mongolia! Flame was good too!! Otherwise you will eat at the buffet ! No chance to get in to those restaurants.. everyday we went to a different restaurant fun getting their welcome drinks.. This trip offered a lot for the price! Wonderful location close to the airport. I would go back .. Easy to get around with the extended golf carts! Thank you Bahía Príncipe ! Also a Hyatt property! Beach is a 2 min ride away!

Staff is extremely friendly. The hotel is very clean. Lots of food variety even for vegetarians.

Absolutely amazing holiday, excellent facilities from the room to the pools and restaurants. The staff are so attentive and friendly from the general manager to the waiters and the housekeeping teams, nothing is too much trouble for any of them. We have stayed here 4 times now and cannot wait to return. Would thoroughly recommend it to everyone.

Never been to DR before so all new to us check in was good and quick Carlos at desk was very helpful great surprise with our room very big with large balcony overlooking pool with no palm trees obstructing view as most rooms had them so very happy with that , nice big bathroom with whirlpool bath and large shower,food in buffet restaurant was decent always something to have couldn't knock it ,al a carte restraunts where we eat were good ,definitely recommend normad,. The 3 pools where large no issues with sunloungers entertainment team where always on the go , and work hard all day and night ,very loud at times , and if you know BOB you know iiiiiiiii and my friends from CANADA I must of heard this 3 thousand times lol been from England your mixing with alot of South Americans, Canadians Americans, etc but the ones I met and talked to where lovely people so this was a big plus . You get staff bringing drinks to you poolside and what we found out was the more people tipped the better drinks and glasses they recievied ,I don't go away to spend all my money on a service I have already paid for although I do tip generously ot still wasnt really enough , you could see some staff sticking to certain areas of the pool ,obviously where they were getting larger tips, so I done plenty of trips to the bar ,I only found one bar lad who seemed geniune that was sandros he was spot on , where the others give you the impression they didn't want you there especially kamika the small girl who only smiled at me on my last day lol I wonder why that was , maybe expecting a tip on me leaving ,didn't happen ,i do go by first impressions with people , but overall I couldn't knock the staff they do work hard all day , the pool area is always clean the pools are warm ,but they definitely have an issue with pipework corrosion, we googled it because our swimwear was turning green lol plus the wife's hair had a nice tinge of green in it after been in pool ,we just binned the ruined swim wear but the wife came home with me 🤣 we couldn't fault the place all in all and wouldn't write off a return , the night entertainment was hit and miss the retro night is definitely the best , we actually seen it twice and if you like a pool foam party theres plenty of them lol ,we prefare more laid back holidays these days but we had a great time and met some great people . There's one thing I'd say about the domincan, if you want to sell stuff to holiday makers stop trying to rip everyone off the prices in them shops at hotel are shocking 40 dollers for a cooler cup 6 dollers for a small toothpaste and the price of the cigars in a country where they originate from is beyond shocking take note you will sell more .
