Punta Cana Resorter

Typical bait and switch. Apparently we were told that every single room near or walking distance to the beach was not available. This was the case even though i booked six months ago. They literally put us in the last building on the property. The LAST building. It was even past the reception (or before if your coming off the street). It was like almost next to the street. This is ridiculous. When i spoke to Arnaldo, whom i was told was the manager (yet i saw no identification) he could offer nothing to help. No solution. No discount. No hope. My mother (who has never been to punta cana) is very upset. The hotel expects us to wait 10-15 to take a train to the beach (which is a 10 minute train ride away). If he really was the manager, he didn't solve anything. I am so disappointed at this experience. We are paying over $1,200 USD for 2 nights and this is what we are getting for it. Please avoid this hotel at all cost. If they actually act on it after i post this i will let you all know. Electricity went out on my last day. Some drinks were not included (therefore this was not all inclusive).

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.

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!

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.

I liked that the VIP section had their own private pool and members didn't have to make reservations. The food wasn't too good and got a few of us really sick.

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

Nice facility with great pools and beach. Most staff were friendly Buffet restaurant had good selection of foods and pretty consistent good food quality. No convenient/cost effective way into town. Taxi ride for 3 mi trip was minimum $30 US dollars, pretty steep for a very short ride. Wait at restaurants other than buffet was horrendous for stand by. If you didn't have a reservation you were pretty much out of luck. Female greeter at the Mexican themed restaurant "Margaritas" was just plain rude to everyone. Ignored peoply and seemed in her own world. Most gym equipment (treadmill, bench, eliptical, etc.) were in a state of disrepair or malfunctioning. Availability of gym towels was spotty at best. Ping pong table had old paddles that were worthless and no ball readily available. Gave up wait for a ball to be delivered after 15 min from when staff member advised they'd be right back.

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

We appreciated great location, especially the beautiful white sandy beach, fantastic all inclusive programme, food in big quality and quantity, friendly staff,... No complaints at all... Everything was all right...

Kids club staff were nice Beach was not that great, lots of seaweed at times. Front desk staff was so rude and just overall not pleasant. Food was ok but not worth the money
