The staff is really friendly but the service overall is poor. Checked in as "privileged" and was disappointed with the service. Requested a crib from check-in and up until now it wasnt delivered. No babysitting service after 5pm. No iron board in room. No personal map or info to use and do certain things in the room.More

Taking safety measuresBooking.comTaking safety measuresWe are staying in the adult only side of the hotel. We were here 6 years ago and it was fantastic. Well not anymore. The food is cold unless you go to the cooking stations. We went to the Takara restaurant tonight. Ordered a glass of red wine which was cold! We hadn’t finished our starters and they brought out the main course, which was tasteless. I watched them dish out the main course’s and they sat under a heated lamp for 10/15 minutes before anyone picked them up and they weren’t even cooked fresh, just taken out of a saucepan, a 10 year old could have done a better job.! Our shower door didn’t close, our patio door didn’t lock and no light on our balcony. The toilet lights in reception only stay on for 45 seconds then you have to waive your hands in the air to get them to come back on. (I have complained 3 time). First choice advertise that that there is waitress service around the pool (only if you can find someone). This hotel is for young adults and not for older couples. The music just bangs. The guests bend over around the pool and shake their bums to the people in the pool, which is encouraged by the entertainment team. I could carry on, but there is no point. Everything has gone downhill.

My husband and baby checked into the hotel on 5/3/22 to 05/11/22, along with my 2 friends. We booked 2 rooms. One king and one double. The check in was the nicest part of our reservations. Everything went downhill from there.
1. We went to dinner the evening we checked in only to find out there was no food there we felt we could enjoy. This is a restaurant in the island of Jamaica, we were excited to enjoy the food only to find out the only had Jamaican food on theme nights, which was one night a week.
2.We went down to eat on different occasions for breakfast and dinner only to find the food was gone. No one was monitoring the food to see when it ran out and when it was brought to the supervisors attention we were told it was the chef's responsibility. The dining room seem understaffed, we had to wait for simple things like table setting, water, coffee. The service was poor and the staff didn't seem to care.
3. My luggage was dropped off by the airport and after going to security and signing for them to have it delivered to our room, we came back at 2 AM to no luggage. When we asked security where our luggage was, we were told they didn't drop it off the way they promised because we were out and proceeded to inform me they could only send the luggages up if the bellman could take it. What a joke.
I went to Guest relations to make a complaint about the fact that i had to go on the street to purchase food while i was at an all inclusive resort and the other issues we had faced, thinking the issues would have been fixed, only to go to breakfast the next day to no food.
This time i spoke to the manger of Guest Relations. To my shock , she pretended to listen but didn't seem to care. The restaurant manager came over and pretended to listen but his only recourse was to offer to bring a plate of food to my room that evening. What I expected was for someone to take the issues seriously and to do something to make changes. Giving me food today and having the same issues tomorrow did not solve the problem.
4. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS HOTEL. They do not care about their guests. Once you are there, nothing that happens to you is anyone's problem. Our rental car got hit on the property, when we asked security if they had cameras in the area our car was parked he shrugged and said he didn't think so. Based on their attitude, we paid from our pockets to have the rental fixed as going through the insurance would cost alot more.
My one year old daughter's sandals went missing, 4 days before we checked out. There is alot more negative experiences i could put in this review but the overall point is this is definately not a 5 star or 4 star property and the staff definately doesn't care about their guest at all.

First of all this hotel is huge , in fact it’s literally 2 hotels in one the rooms are nice and the main lobby area is lovely but always rammed with people as you’d expect for a hotel this size and here lies one of the main problems as it’s quite frustrating if you need to speak to anyone or if anything goes wrong whilst you are here. I recommend downloading the Bahia Principe app as it’s soo much easier to order stuff for your room from that and book the ala carte restaurants etc and saves a lot of time in the process. We have been made to feel very welcome by the staff here and they are really nice people who cannot do enough for you, the food is good and we really enjoyed the Picasso restaurant which stood out from the others that we tried. If I were asked if I could recommend this hotel then I would say yes because it’s relatively cheap and good value for money , but if you are expecting Sandals for half the price then it’s probably not for you. All in all you can have very enjoyable holiday here and the beach area is beautiful with a bbq and a open air restaurant serving food throughout the day.

I have been waiting 3 weeks for a refund from the tour company in the lobby lof the Bahia Principe. We had to get Covid tests prior to going home and we were promised a reund if we could not get them early in the morning before the tour. We were told the clinic opened early enough that we could get tested and leave right away on the tour. They said if not, they would refund our money. I am still waiting for a refund!!!
:( They take your money very quickly......
