"enjoyed stay tremendously. Always had something to do (or eat) Excellent staff willing to help at all times.Helps to hire a car ."
Top Tip:
"El Caleton is a small beach near San Juan where they serve an excellent meal on the beach. There is also a good and friendly restaurant "Cafe Paris" in San Juan run by a Frenchman where they serve excellent food and music. The people in the Dominican Republic are simply the best."

"my partner,son and i had a fantastic time at the Bahia Principe,from the moment we arrived we were welcomed by a smiling friendly waiter with a cocktail,the hotel is of high standard and our room was clean and well presented.Bahia Principe is set on the most beautiful beach with upteen sports to try. All the staff work extemely hard and this is shown by the great entertainment they provide ,there's never a dull moment because of the dedication they give. We found every one of them very friendly and helpful.This really is a great place to go on holiday to, especially if you have children ,it was great at night because it was safe for our 11 year old son to go along the street with his friends as there is sercurity on the gates. We really thought we were in paradise especially when we sat on the beach with our feet in the sea eating freshly barbecued languostines! Dont expect to lose weight here because the food and drink is fantastic and free flowing all the time,they cater for every one. the worst time on the holiday was the day we came home because we really could have stayed. The domican Republic is such a beautifull island as we found out on the trips we took, we are planning to go back next year because we found this holiday provided us with every thing and more and great value for money,so thankyou travel republic for booking this fantastic holiday."
Top Tip:
"my top tip would be to buy all gifts, souvenirs at the airport when you leave because you will find everything that you can get on the island but at a fraction of the price."

"I had seen many reports about this hotel saying that it was very run down. It was not as bad as expected but coul do with a refit. Our rooms were comfortable but the air conditioning unit did fall off the wall in my childrens room. If you have teenagers they will have a great time which is why I chose the hotel."
Top Tip:
"Avoid the beach when it has been raining. The sand flies are lethal"

Diane from Whitby reviewed the Bahia Principe San Juan Hotel
"Hotel and facilities were fantastic. The buffet food was always excellent in terms of quality and choice, and the 'mediteranian' restaraunt was exceptional. The evening entertainment was not always to our liking but appealed to the many families on holiday. The spa was well worth the cost for something special."
Top Tip:
"The excursions were well planned and great fun!"
