Punta Cana Resorts

It reminded me of the melia caribe tropical hotel and resort, but cozier, hence easier to find family members when you pick a place for a wedding & not as costly. The wedding went well. I do not know if it was the actual hotel experience because I was touring the countryside 2 days prior to check-in, but 2 days into my hotel stay, I was invalid in my hotel room with a severe bout of diarrhea and fevers. Also, in the Family buffet, you get these scantily clad women at the only entrance / exit of the buffet haggling you for photos with them. Maybe this flies with the Europeans, but it's kind of embarrasing when you have a 3 year old.

They did have some premium liquor which was better than many all-inclusive places I have been. Pool in our area was nice with fairly low occupancy and lots of places to sit. Only one buffet for breakfast and dinner. Huge complex, but it seems to be several hotels in one and some things were not accessible to us, like the other 2 buffets onsite.

Beach was great! Several front desk staff and restaurant servers had very nasty and rude personalities; no remote control for TV and did not get one for 2 days despite asking repeatedly; food in main buffet was not kept very hot; I got Traveler's diarrhea while there because of the food; housekeeping did not clean room twice! I had a butler, who was not very responsive or helpful; I had to complain and act crazy with the front desk in order for them to do their jobs with regards to my room, room service, my butler,etc. I felt like I was working because of the lazy service instead of enjoying myself! Never again!

Pay the extra cash and go to a decent hotel , had to move rooms ,room was filthy and outdated, bedding stained and unable to lock the door between the adjoining room that was occupied with guests that I was not travelling with nor are you able room door

Despite the problems with the room, the staff was very helpful. They had to switch my room twice. The first room smell like a smoking room . The second room had a real strong smell of mold. After going back and forth for 3 hours I finally got a nice room. The hotel was too far from the city of Punta Cana

GREAT BEACH AND DRINKS BAD FOOD, TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE HAVE TO CHANGE ALL THE EMPLOYEEES,

Good shows Here in the United States most people get an average of 2 weeks off a year. Like many others I carefully plan my vacation and want to enjoy my precious time off from my normal hustle. I am a big fan of the Domincan Repulic with its beautiful beaches and great weather. I have stayed at some awesome Resorts including: Now Larimar, Melia, Barcelo Bavaro etc. Unfortuantley I can not say the same about Bahia. My fiance and I booked this trip to mainly meet with various wedding coordinators because we want to have our wedding in the Dominican Republic. We both have been married before and had 400+ person weddings so we figured if we do it at the DR we can keep it at 150 people. Just counting family and people we are 110% sure they will come we counted 110 definite people coming. So we decided to come to the DR and made an appointment with the Wedding coordinator for the day after we arrived to look at their packages, lucky for us we also made appointments with 5 other venues including a restaurant, a yacht and 3 other resorts. The top of our list was Bahia so we booked a room for two for this past weekend so we can get the full experience before we bring all of our friends and family over. The worst experience of any resort/hotel I have ever stayed at was this passed weekend at Bahia. And to be honest I am not exaggerating. I have stayed at maybe 10+ resorts in the Carribean before and this was the worst. It all began with the Check-in process which took an hour and 10 minutes. I guess I would understand the long wait if there was a huge line however there was no one in line when we got there. The gentlemen that was helping us was so distracted talking with other employees, trying to do multiple things at once, helping other guests that spoke fluent spanish (unlike us) that it took forever. To make matters worst he said he couldnt find our reservation (which eventually he found because he probably wasnt looking at the right place). Now lets talk about the first room they gave us. In the attached pictures you can see how awful our room was. When you go out on the balcony instead of seeing trees, the ocean or a courtyard we saw a huge pile of TRASH. Looks like a dump for the hotel. It was disgusting and smelled. How can you give anyone that room? Shame on you bahia! After complaining and complaining and complaining they finally gave us a "better room" close to the beach (Villa 9). This room was awful, the AC didnt work properly. The shower didnt work properly (the water would come from the top and the bottom thus causing minimal pressure). The tub would not drain water properly. The toilet would not flush and had to mainly be filled. I could keep on going but I think you get the point. At first we called guest services to get it fixed. They sent someone over while we were gone (we had to go meet with a wedding coordinator at a different resort) however nothing was fixed. We called again the next day with them saying they

The poll are a was lovely and very relaxing. Good variety in the restaurants although food was often not as hot as it could have been. Overall, I would say this was a four star not five star hotel.

The food, the beach, the sorroundings. Room service but it could have been because the hotel was overbooked

They change my room the first day to be closer to my family for the wedding The food was OK

Good seaside view. Nice big beautiful room (I had platinum suite). About 10 different tipes of fresh juices for the breakfast. The room was full of mosquitos! Was impossible to sleep. The food at the restaurant was really too salt. Some of the items were impossible to eat.
