Reviews
We stayed at the Grand Bavaro Princess over the holidays from December 24–31, 2025. Overall, it is a beautiful resort with many positives, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.
Pros
The resort is absolutely beautiful and very well maintained.
Rooms are spacious, modern, and comfortable.
The agriculture and animal sanctuary is a standout feature — peacocks, swans, turtles, and parrots roaming the grounds make the resort feel unique and special.
It’s an extra-large resort with many restaurant options and lots to explore.
The cappuccino and crêpe bar was our favorite spot — the best cappuccino on the resort and a perfect place to start and end the day.
The beach is stunning and well kept.
Buffet breakfast was the best of the three meals and very consistent.
Overall, the food quality is good.
Some bartenders were fantastic — especially at the Del Mar Beach Café, where service was friendly and fun.
This resort is huge so get ready to walk or take the train.
Cons
Guest service is not very service-oriented. Lady at Guest Services did a great job trying to resolve some issues, overall the staff did not seem focused on making the guest truly happy.
We had several issues with our room, and the response felt minimal rather than proactive.
There is a noticeable language barrier with many staff members, which made communication difficult.
Ordering at the à la carte restaurants was often frustrating — orders were frequently incorrect or not what we requested. Because of this, we eventually opted out of most restaurants and relied more on the buffet.
Nightly entertainment was okay, but we’ve experienced better shows at other Punta Cana resorts.
Overall
The Grand Bavaro Princess is a gorgeous resort with excellent grounds, great rooms, and a beautiful beach. It has a lot of potential and many things to love. However, improvements are needed in service quality, communication, and restaurant accuracy.
Despite the drawbacks, I would still recommend the resort, especially for its beauty and atmosphere — just with the understanding that some service improvements are necessary to truly elevate the experience.
Staff are the star of the hotel. They are very friendly, all of them smiling and very helpful in every situation. I never seen happy employees like them in any other sector.
Resort is massive but they sort out everything for your comfort to avoid the tiredness. There are cute train stops, they help you travel inside the resort. There are buffet, restaurants, bars close to the beach, to the pools and to the rooms. So you can access to food and drinks easily.
Beach was the cleanest of Bavaro and everything is in order. If there are seaweeds, hotel cleaning them very quick with the tractor.
Food wise, above the all inclusive standards and drinks are really the best.
Room was very comfy and big enough but old style stone makes humidity smell sometimes. But humidity didn’t effect to our stay.
We stayed 2 weeks and everything was fantastic highly recommend it.
One of the highlights of my stay was the bar service, especially Luis the bartender at Cafè del Mar. Luis was absolutely the best — always smiling, incredibly personable, and attentive to every guest. He made fantastic drinks and went out of his way to make everyone feel welcome. His positive energy truly stood out and made each visit to the bar a great experience.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this resort and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Punta Cana. Thanks to the great service, especially from Luis, this trip was unforgettable and I would definitely return.
The resort is huge, with a beautiful structure, and the rooms are incredibly spacious. We stayed in the Platinum category and have absolutely no regrets. The Platinum beach area is excellent, and the Platinum pool, located close to the beach, is also very good — much quieter than the main pool. The Platinum drink selection is far superior to the regular options, with many high-quality beverages and amazing cocktails.
I would also like to express my gratitude to the bartenders Marino and Glenys at the Platinum pool, as well as the bartenders at the beach bar. They are all extremely kind, friendly, welcoming, and always eager to make your experience better. Their service is truly outstanding.
Already making plans to return!
Beautiful and huge complex with very well-kept buildings and landscapes; however, there are not enough trains during rush hours, which delay dinner reservations and excursions for guests. Thus, prepare for delays....
Arrival & Check-In:
Upon arrival, the resort looked nice at first glance, but the welcome was underwhelming. Staff were available to assist with luggage, which was appreciated, but the open-air layout of the lobby made it uncomfortably hot and humid, there’s no air conditioning in this area, only ceiling fans struggling against the Caribbean heat.
We arrived around noon, knowing check-in wouldn’t be until 3 PM, so we were directed to the buffet to pass the time. Unfortunately, this dining area is also open-air, which made for an uncomfortably hot experience. Flies and birds hovered near plates, which made it hard to relax or enjoy the meal. The food was average at best and lacked variety, rotating through the same limited options each day.
In summary, this stay was disappointing and not at all what we hoped for. If you’re a young couple looking for a romantic or exciting getaway, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. You won’t get much value or enjoyment here. However, if you’re a family seeking a budget-friendly, kid-oriented resort, it might be more suitable.
Would I return? Definitely not.
