The food Could be improved, also the beaches were nice but very stony in areas. Other than that it was a great time with great music and relaxing vibe.
Very nice resort but didn't like how far the swimming area on the beach was from our room. Food was excellent. Most of the staff was nice but when checking in, the girls were snotty. Overall, a nice place.
I go to montego every year but this time was a bit different. The room was beautiful with a perfect view. Property immaculate. So much space we found plenty of quality time moments...no fighting for beach chairs and shade spots. The night club was up to date with the tunes. And no fighting for the last of the best dish cause there was plenty....excellent experience
As beautiful as the pictures indicate. Food as expected -Dolce Vita Italian restaurant was excellent. Japanese restaurant so so. Buffet as expected, wish there had been more authentic & labeled foods, but understood many cultures to cater to. Entertainment alittle lacking at the main lobby terrace for those not wishing to wander at night.
Everything and everyone was so nice. I mean the service was upscale and professional. Ask and it was delivered. The food was extraordinary. The activity on site was very entertaining. I would say thank you for making our stay a positively memorable experience at the Grand Bahia Jamaica Lauren
Hotel staff not friendly or engaging only the people who are trying to sell you something. Food not great, too many options that wasn't great. My room was nice and very clean but the mattress was horrible big dip in middle. The drinks are water down didn't get any type of buzz. Pool was very nice. Beach was okay it was small and had lots of rocks. Elevator VERY small and slow. Carpet in hallways dirty. WiFi only worked in lobby.
Excellent resort! Plenty of choices to eat and swim. Piper at swim up bar is awesome! Great service and very personable, look him up! Marlyn head of the restaurants is doing an amazing job, always helpful and very Good at his job! Marvelous Micheal in the buffet restaurant ( breakfast and lunch) off to the right side is awesome! Excellent service to all in his area, always very friendly and polite. Cat wait to go back!
The food was very cold the jacuzzi did not work many of the lights did not work repeated call to the front desk and house maintenance did not resolve the problem the room needed to be much Cana
My birthday experience started off horriable. Check in took more than 2 hours because the room was not ready and another mix-up with the room. Very hard to get reservations at speciality restaurants and when you do portions are very small and food is not tasty. Customer service is poor, we waited 3 days into our trip to speak to a manager. Thankfully the resort was beautiful, very scenic with an amazing view. But I would not stay there again.
The hotel was impressive. the grounds were super. This is a great place to vacation.
I had a wonderful time. Everything was to my comfort
Enjoyed this trip immensely my only issue was the availability of the hotels restaurants and the buffets weren't great
great hotel but needs to have better food. Staff was very friendly.
The first day at the hotel were perfect. Nice lovely room, lovely food, lots of different activities to get involved in, sadly things took a turn for the worse when the AC in the room stopped working. It was at this point that the 30 degree hot humid Jamaican weather took its wrath upon us. Could not sleep a wink it was so uncomfortable. I do recognize that this was likely an isolated incident, but that did not console me during my sleepless night. So for the next 2 nights it was literal torture. But apart from that the hotel was pretty good.
This is a wonderful all-inclusive resort for the price! The pool is huge, plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The beach however, is not that great. It is very rocky and does not feature the crystal clear waters you would expect to find in the Caribbean. Plenty of water sports are offered on the beach (kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, etc.) at no additional cost. If you are looking for a picturesque beach this is not the place for you. The food was good. Omelette station for breakfast was great! The buffet has a huge selection of American foods as well as local Jamaican food. You only get a limited number of a la carte's depending on the duration of your stay. I was there Friday-Tuesday and received only two a la carte reservations. Reservations are required for all a la cartes. The food at both a la cartes was okay, nothing amazing. I preferred the food from the buffet. The bars at the resort are wonderful! service is quick and drinks were delicious. Wide selection of tropical cocktails is available. The swim-up bar was awesome! No need to leave the pool at all. The room was amazing! I was on the 7th floor of building where the lobby is located. The view from the balcony was incredible, had a direct view of the pool and the ocean. The room was big and comfortable. Lovely bathroom.
My husband and I had a wonderful time , the staf was great, the hotel is beautiful, we could of stayed longer.
The property and view looked just like the pictures. I had a room over the lobby, which provided a perfect central view. Although, I didn't try any of the a la carte restaurants, the food and service in the buffet was still top notch. The staff was always very friendly, helpful and courteous. Ive stayed at GBP in another country and I will give them my business when they are an option for any of my vacations.
I would not stay here ever again. The hotel is flooding in multiple rooms and the staff are horrible. Mini bar is never stocked and the manager is the worst ever I will never stay at a Bahia again. Ever
Grand Bahia Principe Jamaica is a huge resort. I booked a privileged club room which came with slippers, bathroom, and ocean view. There is a lot of walking depending on where your room is located. I think service in the buffet could be improved. It took a long time just to receive two drinks and even longer for a refill. Also, the buffet should be more cooler inside. It felt very warm. The food choices varied each day. I really enjoyed the beach grill restaurant that had some of the best jerk chicken I had in a while. The speciality restaurants I tried were average (Steakhouse & Italian). Overall, I did enjoy my time at Grand Bahia Principe Jamaica. I enjoyed the beach grill restaurant, drinks, pool, and beach.
