Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville

Best vacation ever, and that’s saying a lot because we travel south 2-3 times a year. First time at Bouganville and did not disappoint. The service was impeccable. Every single customer service or hospitality staff was polite and professional, bending over backwards trying to accommodate us. We had a poolside king room that was just as expected- very nice with a lovely view of the quiet pool. Housekeeping, the best we’ve ever experienced. Our maid cleaned and restocked our room so well we kept increasing the tips. The food and options to eat were impressive . The grounds are beautiful. Loved both the party pool and quiet pool. Never a problem getting fresh towels or loungers. Beach was great, mind you we are lounge on the beach people and only dip our toes in the surf. Each à la carte restaurant was great. The Los Dalias buffet was fantastic, but I do agree with other reviewers about the lukewarm food temperatures. We had the opportunity to enjoy a couples massage at the spa- it was wonderful. We did experience a problem during our stay but the resorts manager Patricio looked after it personally and rectified the situation more than adequately. For that reason, we know with 100% certainly that we will make a repeat visit to this resort. Suggestions for resort TV- no channel guide available, either built in to the satellite service or a printed copy by the bed. And for an adults only resort, there’s no corn channels like at other adults only resorts we’ve been too. Sometimes adults want some spicy content if you know what I mean. Pool Bars- scanning a QR code for the drink menu with your cell phones means you are risking dropping your cell in the water. Please consider just putting the drink menu out in writing. The lobby bar has a printed menu so the pools should too. Internet- free wifi was spotty and very slow. I did a ookta speed test and it was 8.7 mbps. Anything under 25 mbps is slow and so this issue should be looked at. I doubt the premium wifi would have been any better because I’m sure it’s running off of the same routers and wifi extenders. Suggestions for Guests Mini fridge- keep the cabinet door open so your fridge will cool drinks better. Fridges need air circulation to work their best. Drinks- bring a 20 oz Yeti mug, a bit of dish soap, and a sponge. Get your large coffee in the morning, wash your mug in the bathroom sink, and drink whatever you want the rest of the day. Beach Party is Saturday night, bring a white outfit. Tips- tip the staff generously. They work very hard to make you are happy. This resort was a 10 out of 10, highly recommend for us.

Amazing experience. I really enjoyed my stay. The food, the people,the shows; everything was amazing!

2nd time back to Bougainville wonderful people and wonderful friendly staff can’t wait to come back

We love the Bahia Principe Escape Bouganville in La Romana. We took my cousin there for her 50th birthday. When making the reservations I requested to be on the first floor due to having a bad back. When we checked in, they had us on the fourth floor. The young lady at the front desk said she would see what she could do, she was able to help us get on the first floor. We had lunch on the Explore side when we arrived. Radaisi was managing the buffet, we were greeted with a big smile and hugs from her. She is always helping her staff and making everyone feel like family. She is a big reason we always keep coming back to this location. Radaisi asked us to come back over for dinner Saturday night and we did. the food was great. She had us go to Le Gourmet Restaurant (on the Explore side) for dinner on Sunday night, Chef Lola cooked our steaks to perfection, it was amazing. I would highly recommend seeing if she is working and go see her as well as Radaisi. The back pool swim up bar is the best, the bar tenders are fun and engaging, we spent most of our time in the pool. We met a lot of nice people from all over the world. The lobby bar was a lot of fun and the bar tenders there were great! Omelets are the best there, the chef preparing them is always friendly. The young ladies at the entrance greet you with a smile and a good morning. The entertainment staff at the back pool are lots of fun and keeps everyone doing something most of the day and night. They are always having fun. It is a little more expensive since it has changed to Hyatt and the buffet on the Escape side was a little different from the past (it was good but not as good). You can't go wrong staying at this location. We hope to go back in a few months to see Radaisi, Chef Lola and everyone else.

Everything about this vacation at bahia principe- Bouganville was perfect! The room was quiet, clean, and cold. The food was delicious, and everyone was extremely accommodating. 2 individuals made our visit particularly amazing; Ronnie and Ronaldo. From my understanding both of their primary resteraunt is Don Pablo, but we saw them everywhere. They were absolutely delightful and the relationship my boyfriend and I built with them through our vacation definitely effected our vacation in an extremely positive way. We ate at Don Pablo twice, they coordinated a wonderful birthday for my boyfriend's father and the food was delicious! I personally recommend the sirloin. Another top resteraunt for us was Takara. We didn't particularly enjoy the Brazilian steak house or the Italian spot, but there will always be restaurants that don't hit if the rest are winners! The staff that cleaned our room was also very prompt and did a very good job. I could not have asked for a better vacation, truly.
