    If you’re looking for a 5-star hotel, Bavaro Princess is definitely not it.

    When we arrived at the hotel, they tried to assign us a room very far from the beach, since the resort is huge. I asked if there was any possibility to place our family closer, and the receptionist told us that officially it would cost $400—but if we gave him a $200 bribe, he could make it happen. The room we ended up in was okay, but I wouldn’t call it 5-star. There were only three large towels in the entire room. The fridge doesn’t actually cool—it’s just a chiller. It takes about 24 hours to cool a single bottle of water. I requested a crib for my 15-month-old baby. The crib was in terrible condition—screws were falling out and it was wobbly. It was simply unsafe. The buffet food was, to put it mildly, not tasty. Especially at dinner—the line for steak, for example, could be 10–15 minutes long. But if you speak Spanish and ask, the chef will gladly serve you ahead of everyone else. I’ve never seen such favoritism in my life. Not only were the steaks like shoe leather, but in line you might not even get served at all if you don’t speak Spanish. The Wi-Fi was awful. If you want something better, you have to pay $20 for premium Wi-Fi—which still doesn’t always work. The main pool was absolutely dirty and at times smelled like urine. At 8:30 in the morning, it was still filthy from the day before, with leftover food and trash floating around. The kids’ pool was actually very nice. The beach was completely dirty—seaweed just lies there for days, completely uncollected. On top of that, aggressive vendors pass by every two minutes trying to sell you something. You simply can’t lie down and relax in peace. There are only two air-conditioned places on the whole resort: your room and the sports bar. That’s it. We did really enjoy the Italian restaurant. The service was top-notch and the food was excellent! Overall, I absolutely do not recommend Bavaro Princess.

    This one is really bad specially if you are dominican

    1. Welcome center very unhappy worker, all look very tired nothing to impress and no costumer service at all I had to help them speak English with two people because the reception girl wasn't speaking a fluent English. 2. The food ... extremely poorly, the quality was abysmal, straight 3 days sever the same old things and the buffet was infested with no much of choice. all restaurant mostly soooo salty. the only great to us was indian Restaurant (great food great service without mess up in order..) I would not recommend this place to anyone... Don't waste your money and time and to be end up - un-happy with your vacation that you planed for several months

    Poor Management and Services

    El Gand Bavaro Princess requires personnel and Management training. Customer service is at its worst. I will be contacting all medias because this is no longer a 5 stars. I'm also a Platinum Member with Royal-Holiday and have visited this facilities multiple times. Mario Zamora
