    Entspannung pur - paradiesisch

    Wir waren das erste Mal im Bahia Principe Grand Samana in Santa Barbara de Samana. Das Hotel liegt wunderschön in der Bucht von Samana. Wir hatten ein sehr sauberes Zimmer mit Balkon und konnten in die Bucht schauen. An manchen Tagen konnten wir von unserem Balkon aus sogar die Wale beobachten. Von der Begrüßung bis zum aus checken wurden wir sehr freundlich behandelt, bekamen bei Fragen sofort eine Antwort. Der Umgang mit den Gästen ist im gesamten Hotelbereich ausgezeichnet. Die Teams von Restaurant, Poolbar, Lobbybar, Service, Lifeguards am Pool und Strand, einfach alle Mitarbeiter, sind stets freundlich, begrüßen die Touristen in deren Landessprache. Es stehen Seife, Shampoo, Conditioner, Dusche und Lotion zur Verfügung im Bad bereit. Hier wird Kundenfreundlichkeit gelebt und praktiziert. Die Auswahl vom Essen am Buffet bietet für jeden Geschmack etwas. Auch optisch ist Alles immer schön angerichtet. Man kann sich morgens Rührei und Spiegeleier sowie Pfannkuchen backen lassen. Am Abend werden frischer Fisch, Fleisch und Pasta nach Wunsch zubereitet. Man sieht sowohl den Sonnenaufgang als auch den Sonnenuntergang über dem Meer. Wir vergeben in allen Bereichen die volle Punktzahl und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Urlaub im Bahia Principe Grand Samana. Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland von Michael und Melanie Menzl

    Returning to Bahia Principe Grand Samaná

    My return visit to Bahia Principe Grand Samaná was as expected. Great weather and a pleasure to revisit the amazing staff. The people working here are the hotels best asset. From the reception to even the garden maintenance people all go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. It is truly uncommon for the workers watering the flowers to call you by your first name. It shows commitment and dedication. The hotel is small 149 rooms. A quiet resort not for the party crowd. There is no need to reserve chairs at the pool or beach. No line up at the buffet. No waiting for service at the bar. However the beach bar is closed only the pool bar and lobby bar are open. The buffet is above typical with the breakfast omelet superior. Service is great and the staff will try to accommodate your wishes. A nice quiet relaxing atmosphere.👍👍

    Nice & Quiet but Spend your money elsewhere

    Visited this resort in March 2025 with my wife. We are in our 50’s but definitely not over the hill yet. We are Privilege Club members but did not travel on our membership as we were outside our travel window but that didn’t bother us. Resort is extremely small and not much variety. The good: Adults Only King bed was creaky but decent and pillows were good. My wife and I had the massage and it was decent for the $100USD / pp / hour Super quiet if thats what you are looking for. Evening entertainment was very good in the lobby but it only lasts about an hour and a bit each night. All live music. The bad: Lots of stairs - but we knew that going in. Whole resort is very tired and in need of a facelift including the rooms. The place is over 20 years old afterall. Al a carts are only opened two nights a week so you would Be lucky to get two in the week stay. Food is at best - okay. No snack bar and no medium or top level liquor at all without incurring ridiculous over charges. Service is some of the worst I have experienced at any resort including the other Bahia’s. Beach is small and lots of jelly fish present so be careful entering or leaving the water. Overall this place looks like they are preparing to close it down like they did with San Juan a few years back. Save your money and go elsewhere - this is at best a 3 star resort now. Anyone who says 4 Or 5 stars just doesn’t know how great these places used to be when they were first opened and the employees cared about providing good service. No offence intended but I have been going to Bahia’s for over 20 years now. This one just doesn’t measure up in any way. Hope this review helps

    So So in Samana

    Our third floor room was very comfortable with an excellent ocean view. The furniture was dated. The room and the balcony was kept exceptionally clean by the cleaning staff. Thank you. There are many steps in the resort, but some could be avoided by using the elevators in the main and our accommodation building. The gardens were very well maintained and the resort was kept immaculately clean, including the many public toilets,although many were short of paper towels. The beach and pool were great, the pool clean all of the time. Shade at the pool was difficult to find. At every other resort we stayed at (and there are many) the lobby bar is open in the morning for coffee and drinks including alcohol. Not here. It didn't open until 4-00pm, meaning you had to go downstairs to the dining room for coffee, if you could get it, or pool bar. It had a coffee machine but was never used. Very strange!! The food for the most part was acceptable. The Don Pablo place was very good with excellent service. All of the meals were buffet style, with breakfast being the best. The problem with all buffet meals is that they can be good at the beginning of the meal period but deteriorate after 3+ hours. This was the case here, particularly supper, starting at 6-00pm and ending at 10-00pm. We like to eat late and by the time we get there, some of the food appeared inedible and unappetizing. It was very very pleasant to eat meals in the shaded open air overlooking the ocean. Something we have noticed about some resorts,The vast majority of staff and this is one of them, they often advertise so called "top shelf" drinks are included when they are not. Could this fall under false advertising !! ? The vast majority of staff were very helpful, courteous and work very hard. I can't remember the name of the young man at the front desk, but he was particularly helpful. Thank you all. From the foregoing we do not consider this resort 5 star
