Bahia Principe Luxury Bouganville

Thank you to Dario, Jasmin, Paolo, Isabel, Valerie and each and every staff member at Bahia Principe Luxury Buganville for your beautiful energy and smiles. You made our vacation a memorable one ! [Details]

Friendly staff, clean beach, nice pools good selection of restaurants. The hotel was quiet and clean. Great landscaping. Rated 5 stars and it is indeed 5 stars [Details]

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed our vacation immensely . A few points need attention please . Room was not cleaned daily, 2 times missed and towels not replenished so we had no towels at all. Buffet not hot enough. Entertainment was wonderful, but we wanted to dance and it just wasn't available enough times. A little far from the airport... [Details]

I came to Bouganville for the 2nd time. My first trip was next door at the family units.
I love the people The hotel is comfortable , the rooms are lovely The beach is so beautiful .
The staff are fantastic! [Details]

We visited resort on Dec.02-09,2021. Stayed in building #55 room 55110, nice and quiet place with garden and "no neighbor" view from balcony. We felt "covid" safe there, staff is friendly, tentative and cleaning constantly. They are really trying hard to please you. Check in was fast, welcome drinks and cool wet hand towel was a nice touch. The only thing was disappointing is the water at the beech was murky with seaweeds, but if you prefer pool, than it will be a lot of fun as well. Food was good in both buffet and restaurants (Don Pablo & Tahara) we liked better. Resort in general looks very clean, tidy and freshly renovated. Rooms are spacious with king size bed and crispy linens. We would return again 100%. [Details]

We liked the hotel very much. We got a very nice ,spacious and comfortable room. Oceanfront suite with balcony really worth it! Food was very good ( buffet and we tried two specialty restaurants: Don Pablo ans Los Corales) Hotel premises were beautiful and well maintained. Staff is attentive and courteous ( Joel, Joachin, Jose ,Erika, Daniel, Yohan, Israël) .The gym was closed for renovations. The two pools were very nice.The beach was ok ( in front of the hotel the water was not clear but we could walk to the Beach club and swim over there) .PCR tests to return were available nearby hotel.We had a very good vacation. [Details]

If you like lukewarm foods served at the buffet this is the place for you. If you like having to call 3 times to get a noisy toilet tank refill repaired stay here (it was quieter but still leaking when we left) If you like a room that does not have hot water you will get one here. Dirty toilets at pool ?....you got it!! As for rainy day activities, if English language TV that shows nothing but old NFL and MLB games and horse racing is for you, you'll love this place. If reading is your thing, a few old books and magazines that obviously were left by previous guests are available at the towel hut. Management has thoughtfully saved these and placed them in the huts. Those are your rainy day options. They would have to pay us to come back and even if they were to offer we might not want to waste our vacation time - 'nuff said. "Recommended for" is required for the review but does not include a "Not Recommended" option so we ticked "Shopping" but we do not actually recommend that. Overall not worth the money or time. [Details]

We really enjoyed our vacation.
The resort is beautiful. Our room was really nice and comfortable and quiet.The resort is really clean, service is excellent and staff always nice and happy. [Details]

Had a great time.
Had problems climbing the stairs as room was on third floor and no elevators. At least got my exercise in.
Should have dedicated areas for smokers away from non smokers. At the pool you get nice and settled and then someone comes next to you and lights up, did not appreciate that.
Staff was very friendly and made us feel special.
Al a carte Restaurants was excellent with the exception of the Italian, the staff there was not very warming and seemed not very organized. [Details]

An amazing luxury resort - wonderful suites, beautiful views on the palw trees beach, incredible food and warm great extremely friendly professional service. Nice pool area with jacuzzi and bar. I recommend Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville La Romana if you want to spent a few days of luxury in a beautiful part of Carribian sea. [Details]

This is a beautiful hotel. Beach the pools are all very nice. The staff are so friendly. The entertainment crew are great. Especially the lady. She has such a warm and beautiful smile that makes you want to get up an enjoy yourself. The people we encounter were all very friendly. Jose who works in the restaurant was such a great and friendly person. He took care of us and made us feel like family. Our butler Isaury was great. He surprised us with a bubble bath, champagne, rose petals how romantic. What a nice thing to do for us. Thank you again. [Details]

Our stay was enjoyable. Resort well laid out. Need water shoes if you want to go in the sea as the bottom a little weedy. Rooms very clean. Staff go out of their way to please very eager to please. The food was very good, buffet as good as any of the a la cart restaurant that we went to. Least favourite restaurant was the Raccio. [Details]

Beautiful resort, super clean, friendly & helpful staff, amazing food - delicious and incredible selection [Details]

If you are looking for a nice quiet relaxing vacation this is the place. Nice small resort that you will be pampered in. The rooms are nice and up to date. The restaurants are always clean and staff is pleasant. The a la Carte restaurants food is excellent and the service great. The buffet the food was always fresh and plentiful. The beach was amazing and plenty of chairs and palapas.

The sunset were amazing

The bus ride was a bit long from Punta Cana but we did stop 1/2 way and got beer etc.

Would highly recommend this resort to couples looking for a quiet, romantic get away [Details]

Our 4th trip to a Bahia Resort. First 3 were to Bahia Punta Cana. We find Bahia PC getting too big with many more people and the beaches and pools not growing. The Bahia Bouganville in LaRomana is much smaller but just as enjoyable and upscale as Punta Cana was.
Staff is very friendly. Rooms are spotless. Pools and beach are enjoyable and very clean. One thing we found was that there were plenty of palapas around the pools and on the beach and we were always able to find a spot all times of the day.
It's about a 20 minute further drive then Punta Cana, but well worth it. [Details]

It was a piece of paradise. Beautiful grounds with manicured tropical plants, very spacious beautiful room, jacuzzi, shower, separate areas for quiet relax and entertainment. Live music for dancing every night or going next door for bigger performances. Beach has monumental tall palms, gently swaying in the wind and beautiful plants everywhere. Food is fantastic and plenty. Service is very friendly. Two large pools, with jacuzzi areas, also beds with shade covers in another beach area. Activity team was very lively and taking good care of singles. Haven't seen any mosquitoes. Excursions, spa, billiard, free wi-fi even at the beach, shops at the hotel and walking distance. [Details]

Hotel and resort were beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. [Details]

We had a great time, food was amazing. Few negative points: hotel under construction, found 2 cockroaches in the hotel room, balcony door is broken so we couldn't lock the door, toilet flushing system wasn't working only once in a while, beach water brown zero waves and pool closed too early at 7pm... Beside that everything was perfect, Dominican people are so friendly !!! [Details]

the best, we will go back. [Details]

The hotel is great the service is superb cannot ask for anything better.They make you feel part of there family. [Details]

We had a great time. Will go back and stay longer. Very clean. Food really good. Everyone treated us like kings.Steve [Details]

Everything was perfect couldn't ask for anything better [Details]

Overall it was a very pleasant stay. Staff was amazing, very friendly and helpful. Food was very good. It is more of a quite relaxing place. There are activities but nothing too loud or that lasted all afternoon. You are very close to the other hotel, Bahia Principe La Romana, so if you want livelier shows and entertainment you can go there. Only thing that we did not like was the beach. It is very murky and you can see factories on the horizon. However, if you take a five minutes walk to the left side of the beach, there is an area where the water is much clearer. [Details]

Very nice, very clean, all services close. [Details]

Loved the accommodations, but was very disappointed in the beach. We didn't see anyone swimming as the water was murky and brown.
There were so many chairs on the beach but very few being used because the view was just not nice. The pool was great, no problem getting a chair, no matter what time of day, but I don't think it was full the week we were there.
Also disappointing was the buffet. The food temperatures were inconsistent, hot dishes only warm,scrambled eggs one morning were cold,even though it was a full pan.
I would not consider this hotel a 5 star, possibly 3 or 4, due to the beach. The cocktails were OK but missing were the exotic drinks we had at another resort in La Romana. Also missing was poolside bar service we have experienced at other Bahia resorts. Unfortunately we will not recommend this resort unless they great improvements on the beach and food.
One thing that was exceptional was the rooms and the cleanliness. [Details]

new facility...bothered by maintenance crews on the last 2 days [Details]

There are two resorts here. A larger family resort and an attached exclusive adult only resort. We stayed on the Adults side which is much newer and has some separate dining facilities and a separate beach (it was quite funny seeing the glares of people on the Adult side when people from the family resort inevitably crossed the ropes and took spots on the adult side of the beach)

It's about an hour and a half trip from the airport but once you arrive and get shuttled to the Adult side the check-in takes about 5 minutes.

Rooms were very nice and we had a fantastic time.

A la carte restaurants were a mix (tip here to download the Bahia app and do all your reservations online). The Italian and Grill were nice but we didn't like the Mediterranean.

Only miss here was entertainment on the Adult side in the evenings. Your choice was either walk over to the family side and watch the usual resort faire (to give them credit, the Animation team works really hard and the energy is great but don't expect to see a Vegas style show) or listen to a mediocre signer singing english style songs. Note to the resort here - bring in more local dominican and latino music. I know you are trying to cater to people from all over but I'd rather hear some genuine local music rather than listen to someone stumbling through Karoke classics in a non native language.

Only notable flaw was going on an excursion that had some local Dominicans on it as well. Loud, rude and entitled early 20s who thought the english speakers couldn't pick up on enough spanish to realize that they were making fun of them.

The workers at the resort, the excursions guides and locals (including some Haitians working the sugar can fields) were all incredible and this is how we will remember the people in the DR. [Details]

Very nice Resort, Horrible water at the beach. And avoid the scuba diving centre of the hotel, their equipment is defective and not safe at all. [Details]

The resort is certainly a five star. Large, well appointed rooms, beautiful grounds. The food and booze is all top notch. Service is excellent and everyone that works there is happy and a pleasure to deal with. This resort is almost identical to the Luxury Ambar on Bavaro Beach in Punta Cana. The only negatives are is that it is an 1.5 hour bus ride from the Punta Cana airport to the resort and the beach is not small but isn't huge. My wife and I are beach walkers and this resort is on a bay and you can cover the whole beach in half an hour. The resort is very quiet and I wouldn't recommend it if you want to party. The bars close at 11 pm and the crowd is all over 40 which was fine with us. You don't hear a lot of English either. Lots of Russians, Euros and Quebec. [Details]

Beautiful, immaculately clean resort, catered to like royalty, ground are stupendous, great beach, friendly staff, small and quaint, definately a 5 star or more. We will go back for sure. Loved everything about this resort. [Details]
