I bought a good room and then they downgraded because the hotel was full

I don't have time to write all things that I don't like. I just go say that if somebody asks me about a good hotel, I NEVER go to recommend it. Was my first and last time in the Bahia Principe Grand Hotel.

The property is excellent, I love everything about it

My stay here was great. It was Kid-friendly, my son enjoyed the little water park they have. The staff was great, the property was very clean. The beach was amazing. Calm clean water

Everything in the property was good.

Is wonderfull vacation en this property I like all

This is an amazing place. People are always happy. I loved the food. I’ll came back..

The beds were hard to sleep on. I like the Staff very accommodation special shout out to the chef and arisneidi. My sister is allergic to gluten and they went above and beyond. Thank you

Quality service from all the staff.The food was tasty and plenty.

Beautiful Beach for long walks & calm water for snorkeling and swimming Review of Grand Bahia Principe El Portillo Reviewed today I loved the location of this resort on a very long stretch of beach without any other high rise hotels in sight. You could walk as far as you wanted in either direction and when you encountered locals or vendors they were always friendly. The resort felt safe and secure and the employees were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and we were pleased to have hot water in the shower, cold air coming out of the air conditioner, daily housekeeping service and no bugs in sight. The housekeepers kept our refrigerator stocked with whatever we requested for beverages. The fitness room was small but I was always able to get on equipment when I wanted to work out. There was a sign up for reserving tennis courts and we enjoyed playing. While people did reserve their spot on the beach or near the pool with towels or books shade is easy to find with all of the trees lining the beach. It's irritating the resort allows folks to do this but it happens almost everywhere. There was lots to do if a person wanted to keep busy. Yoga, Zumba, Bingo, table tennis, bags, etc. We enjoyed playing beach volleyball in spite of the folks who don't understand you aren't supposed to touch the net. The food was better than average for an all inclusive in my opinion. I'm not a foodie though. We reserved our ala carte restaurants as soon as we got there but still ended up

Very pleasant and accommodating staff. They obviously work tirelessly for the clientele. Just wish more Northeast airports flew into the closer airport instead of all the travel from Santo Domingo airport.

Beach is GREAT. However, one always has to play "chair game"...Food is standard for an AI. Pools are fine. Resort is rather quite which is a plus for many guests. Excellent value.

This hotel is subpar with a very poor staff. The staff is does not provide exceptional customer service and lacks professional behavior. During my stay, the lock to my room was broken. I complained numerous times to the front desk and every time I went back to the desk to follow up they had forgotten to resolve the issue. Their response was that I needed to complain to the original person who I reported the issue to and that they weren't responsible. The front desk is supposed to be able to help with any issues you have during your stay and their staff was everything but. Upon checking out, we called for a shuttle to help us transport our luggage from our room to the front desk, we waited 30 minutes and no one arrived. We had to end up dragging our heavy luggage ourselves. The only good thing about this hotel was their food.

El Portillo is a nice resort but there are a few things lacking. I found some of the staff to be indifferent and not very accommodating. The room AC was weak, the room fridge was barely cold, and the TV reception weak. Otherwise food was good. The pool area was great. And the beach was amazing, best part of the resort. Clear blue turquoise water making it easy to snorkel. They also have a kiddie pool area that is great for the kids. My family enjoyed everything except for the little things I mentioned above.
