Résumé des avis

The resort is very clean and well-maintained, with beautiful landscaping. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is varied and excellent, especially the buffets and à la carte restaurants. The pools are lovely and clean, and the resort offers numerous activities and shows. The beach is also praised for its beauty and cleanliness. Occasionally, a few reviews mention areas for improvement, but these are not recurring issues.

⭐⭐⭐An absolute dream family vacation!
⭐⭐⭐An absolute dream family vacation!

We just stayed at Bahía Príncipe Explore Punta Cana and were thoroughly impressed by every service. The entire resort is spotlessly clean, and the continuous shuttle service made getting around the massive property with kids a breeze. There is a fantastic variety of delicious food options at all the restaurants to please every palate.
The absolute highlight for us was the **Kids Club**. It was exceptionally organized and welcoming, staffed by wonderful people who made our children feel safe and special. A massive shout-out to Yokairys and Maria at the kids club, who went above and beyond with their warmth and energy! They offered an incredible lineup of daily activities, including cooking classes, arts and crafts, and water play.
If you are traveling with family, this resort offers something for everyone. We can't wait to return!

Superb hotel but the beach maintenance was really disappointing
Superbe hôtel mais l'entretien de la plage vraiment décevante

Guests should be warned that swimming at the beach will be impossible due to the incredible amount of seaweed. Mountains of seaweed prevent access to the sea, and the seaweed is present in industrial quantities on the beach and in the water. We've never seen anything like it. We had to walk for two hours each day to find a less bad spot to reach the sea. It's a shame because the hotel itself, the cleanliness of the rooms, the buffet, and the restaurants are excellent. However, the buffet staff were neither friendly nor very helpful. The shuttle service was excellent, and the shuttle and room service staff were warm and attentive to our needs. Despite the positive aspects, since our goal on vacation is to make the most of the beach, we were very disappointed because hearing tractors all day trying to clear the mountains of seaweed was not relaxing. This meant the pools were overcrowded and lacked space. We will not return to Punta Cana given the seaweed situation. There is no such problem in La Romana and the water is clear.

Les clients devraient être prévenus qu'il ne sera pas possible de se baigner à la plage dû à la quantité incroyable d'algues, des montagnes d'algues nous empêche d'accéder à la mer et les algues sont en quantité industrielle sur la plage et dans l'eau.Du jamais vu pour nous.Nous avons dû marcher 2h par jour pour trouver un endroit où c'etait moin pire pour accéder à la mer. Dommage car l'hôtel, la propreté des chambres,le buffet et les restaurants sont excellents.Toutefois le personnel au buffet pas souriant du tout ,ni très serviabke.Service de navette excellent et le personnel de la navette et du service au chambre sont chaleureux et à l'ecoute de nos besoins.Malgré les points positifs puisque notre but en vacances est de profiter au maximum de la plage,nous sommes très déçu car entendre des tracteurs toute la journée pour essayer de ramasser les montagnes d'algues n'est pas reposant.Ceci fait que les piscines sont bondées et manque de places. Nous ne retournerons pas à Punta cana vu la situation avec les algues.Il n'y a pas ce problème à la Romana et l'eau est claire.
