The buffet can get old very quickly so take advantage of the a la cartes that are available. Even they can begin to get old on a two week stay because of limited menus.

Very Relaxing Few Days

None of the rooms have great ocean views and the food selections at the buffet needs to be looked at, but everything else was okay. [...] at the front desk is very professional and addressed an issue that we had when we checked in regarding the air conditioning. He had our room changed immediately and offered prompt assistance as well. I would definitely return though. The staff is very nice and the resort is clean and well maintained. Remember - It's not Punta Cana!

Expect seeing many of the same food items for breakfast, lunch and dinner at the buffet. I hope that someone from the Bahia Principe organization reads this review and addresses this subject. I feel that the chefs and kitchen staff are doing their very best with a limited selection. Everything that I ate was good, but I only wish that it changed each night. I understand that breakfast and lunch can be similar, but there's no excuse at dinner.
