Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro 5 * reviews of guests display one of the most comfortable in the network, because it is located farthest from the coast (600 m). It is windy on the Arena Gorda beach, the waves rise especially high in the afternoon. When tourists of this hotel in the morning rush to the beach, it is already beautiful, cleaned by the network staff from algae and jellyfish brought by the waves from the ocean.

Several options for how to independently get to the resort:

  • Take a taxi. The average cost to the beaches of Bavaro is 40 USD. It is fixed at the rates of the taxi company, there are no private cabs within the airport. Some sites offer to book a taxi in advance, then the driver will meet the passenger with a sign in the arrivals hall. In other cases, you can choose a taxi on the spot.
  • Rent a car... This can be done online in advance or at the counter of the rental company at the airport itself. The price will start from 2500 rubles / day and depend on the rental period and the size of the car.
  • Take a private “minibus”. Such carriers do not have the right to have a dealership at the airport, but they are still available to tourists in the back of the car park. Competent bargaining can reduce the price to 10-15 USD per person to any resort in Bavaro.
  • Take advantage of bus route long distance for tourists who are light. The Santo Domingo - Bavaro route runs daily, from 7:00 to 16:00. A full flight is three hours.

Great hotel - the whole truth !!! + tips.
We rested with a large family structure, my wife and my 14-year-old child and my parents from July 10 to 21, 2019. And now let's talk about everything in order, with interesting nuances that I did not find in the reviews.

The paramount point is that the country is Spanish-speaking, English is spoken poorly and not all, do not be too lazy to download an offline translator (I downloaded Google, dictionaries are downloaded separately - 100% understanding)

The second point is that you cannot take out starfish (a very large fine), alcohol is 3 liters per adult; in a suitcase no more than 3 liters per 1 suitcase, even if they are combined, then buy in addition in duty free.

The third point - no prejudice towards compatriots was noticed, everyone was served equally and friendly. Tipping is loved, if you deserve it, give it - then you will be persona # 1 for them.

FLIGHT: The tour was taken from Pegasus, respectively, flew by the Nordwind airline. Luggage allowance per person - suitcase 15 kg + carry-on baggage 5 kg. If the two of you are flying with one suitcase - submit an application for unification and you will have 30 kg per suitcase. The planes are normal - Boeings, there is enough legroom, they are fed 1 time and this is during the flight at 12 o'clock, the rest of the time there is water; juices - 2 times per flight, there is no sweet soda like cola at all (additional food, as well as pre-registration and seats must be ordered through the company's website for additional money, you won't be able to do this in the cabin or take food with you - we took, therefore did not steam); once again faced that on such long-distance flights there is no on-board entertainment system with screens on the planes (Transaero used to fly - they always were) - take care of your leisure time in advance, as it was a surprise for many and people were hanging around the cabin and going crazy, we this time we were ready for this and pumped up films and series in advance (for Apple devices I advise you to use the online cinema, we downloaded it on Okko); if you want to good places arrive at registration in advance - 4 hours in advance. Blankets are given only to children, then on a leftover basis. Otherwise, everything is fine, the attendants (stewardesses) are not helpful, they walked around the cabin like bloodhounds back and forth, almost looked into their mouths, looking for those who wanted to drink and made comments to everyone about or without, the ACA pilots.

There is no need to change money, all settlements in the country for tourists are made in dollars.

HOTEL: The road from the airport to the hotel is 30-40 minutes. On check-in showed possible options so that the rooms were close, they took building number 32 on the second floor - it was in the middle with an equal distance both from the sea and from the reception where the main restaurant and bar are located. No bribes were asked.

NUMBERS: They gave two numbers: in one everything worked, in the other - practically everything, after contacting the claim manager, they quickly eliminated everything, even replaced the minibar, which did not cool well. The rooms are chic and spacious, a large double bed with a canopy, a sofa, a coffee table with two chairs, a free safe, a TV (2 Russian channels), a drip coffee machine, tea and coffee set, air conditioning, a fan above the bed, a minibar (beer, Pepsi , Pepsi light, sprite, fanta, water - only 2 bottles each - replenished daily, though in the first days after the claims), balcony - a table plus 2 chairs, for whom it is important to have an iron and an umbrella. The bathroom has a toilet, hairdryer and jacuzzi bath, bathroom accessories (soap, shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, cap, toothbrush and paste) were replenished regularly. Towel - EVERYTHING changed daily. Cleaning standards are damp, the bed is made and the garbage is collected. The sockets are American, they took adapters with them, they cost $ 4-5.

MOSCOWS / COMARS: The area is processed daily. We took with us a fumigator and sprays from midges and mosquitoes - it helped us.

INTERNET: WI FI in the hotel is free, the speed is excellent, it works only in the lobby and requires daily reconnection and there is a paid one - $ 9 - it works everywhere, the speed is excellent.

TERRITORY, POOLS: The complex consists of 7 hotels, we could use the infrastructure of 2 more (Punta Cana and Turquesa). The infrastructure is large, but everything works clearly and harmoniously: the territory of the hotel is beautiful, everywhere there are palm trees, flowers, everything is washed, polished, care for the lawns and the garden, they make them shine and clean. The territory is huge, in the middle there is a pond with mangrove thickets where ducks, herons, fish and turtles live. There is a sports bar with free billiards. On the territory of Turquesa there is a water park for children, ankle-deep; almost reaching it a sports area: minigolf, Bungee trampoline, obstacle course in the trees, tennis court.

Electric cars run across the territory, there are many routes, the frequency does not make you wait more than 1-2 minutes. There are four pools with bars. There are a lot of people in them, they are cleaned in the morning with a vacuum cleaner and covered with bleach.

RESTAURANT: I ​​advise you to go to the main one, there the choice of dishes is many times greater. Diet: mango, papaya and pineapple all day long, very tasty and sweet; melons and watermelons - savory; ice cream 6-8 types for lunch and dinner; seafood every day in one form or another; dorado fish daily; salted salmon for breakfast; freshly squeezed juices - 6 types daily for breakfast (diluted by 20-30% with water); jamon all day; pizzas and burgers - lunch and dinner. Lobsters and Amars - NO! Dinners every day themed: Italian, Dominican, Gala dinner, Spanish, Mexican, American, Asian. We liked most of all the Asian (many different sushi and rolls) and Gala dinner (shrimps, mussels, crab claws - one BUT, you cannot eat them, since tongs are not given for them, but in the Rybny a la carte restaurant they do ask). I liked the service, they were escorted to the table, quickly served, all drinks: water, wine, beer, cola, fanta, cocktails, rum is brought by the waiter upon request, just order as soon as you were given the table, otherwise you will wait 10-15 minutes until they bring it.

Once a week, an evening is held where pina colada in pineapple and coconut milk in coconut are made free of charge, rum is added if desired.

BARS: at each pool, but I would note only two: the one at the reception - lobby bar: there were free and paid drinks (Brugal rum, Grants whiskey, J&B, Martini, Mama Juana, local beer and wine, etc.) coffee was made from the coffee machine - not very much. Cocktails are not ice, banana mom liked the most. Pina colada was poured ready, like many other cocktails. The shaker and mixer do nothing. And a good bar at the exit to the beach, where bartenders still sell alcohol and coffee from under the floor: they took Brugal and Juana's mother - $ 10 per liter.

OCEAN, BEACH: It is beautiful - Atlantic, turquoise, but only early in the morning until 8 o'clock. Then the seaweed, especially in the afternoon. There were days when there were fewer of them, there were like in an overgrown pond), but they were every day, now this is the norm and an integral part of the beaches of the Dominican Republic. Although when we were on the excursion on the wild Macau beach, it is located in the lagoon 30 km from ours - they were not there, and they asked people from other hotels on excursions - everyone has. Last year, at the same time, we were in Cuba - there was nothing of the kind. Yes, they are being removed, but the water is cloudy because of them, the visibility is half a meter, it is not possible to swim with a mask. The beach is sandy, the entrance is gradual - for the Lafa kids. There are plenty of sun loungers, no one for the future use and from the early morning does not take anything, half is free throughout the day. Free on the beach: kayaks, canoes. Everything else - cheesecakes, bananas, parasailing, etc. starts at $ 20. Various souvenir merchants walk along the beach. They left everything on the beach except money - nothing was lost nirazu.

ANIMATION: During the day on the beach and by the pools, in the evening shows in the theater and in the lobby bar, live music and dancing.

ALA-KART RESTAURANTS: There are 6 of them, we went to the fish (seafood) - I advise !, Japanese, grill, Italian, Mexican - I advise!

EXCURSIONS: Republic Pro: 1. We took a jeep safari - $ 134 for an adult and $ 67 for a child, as elsewhere we came off in a car, they didn’t spare the car, they didn’t ask for a license, Jeep Wrangler cars were automatic - the excursion seemed unreasonably expensive; 2. Saona: $ 59 per adult, there on a speed boat with a canopy, swimming along the way in the lagoon where starfish live, there are really a lot of them, we still saw a stingray, take a mask with you, then a beach with an included bar and lunch, and yes they really come to the island first - white sand, turquoise water and more than one alder), back on the catamaran to music and cocktails - I really liked the excursion.

I do not advise taking excursions through guides, everything is the same only 1.5 times more expensive. Also, I do not advise you to go to their pocket store - free transfer, the guide assured that the prices are the best in the Dominican Republic, in fact it turned out to be 2 times more expensive than in the stores at the hotel - I'm not kidding - we were in a SHOCK, it's good that we monitored the prices and didn't buy anything from them, only silver earrings with larimar - they have a choice norms, very dumb sell on the market and on the beach and not in silver. We have a lot of shops and a market in our hotel, you will find everything there and cheaper, you can bargain with a price drop 2-3 times.

DEPARTURE: Brought with them shells and local rum. The import of alcohol into the Russian Federation of hard liquor - 3 liters, we took more, no one checked. Duty-free prices for local rum are very high, but we knew this and therefore bought the Cuban Havana Club, the prices for it are almost like in Cuba) - $ 13 for 0.7, and in terms of quality it is in no way inferior to the Dominican. They also did when they were in the Dominican Republic earlier.

There were rains, after all, the rainy season, but only at night, the humidity is normal, the temperature during the day is 30-35 C.

In general, we were satisfied with the rest, received a sea of ​​sun, emotions and positive. Anyone who has questions will be happy to answer.
