Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro Resort

An introduction to Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro Resort

You only need one word to sum up Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro – gorgeous. It's got the white sun-warmed sands, peacock blue waters and swaying coconut palms that are synonymous with the Dominican Republic. And it's got masses of tropical garden too. It's, quite literally, stunning. And that's before we get started on the pool area.

Two massive lagoon pools take centre stage on the beachfront – they're so close to the sea that the terrace merges into the sand. And with a generous sprinkling of sunbeds, hammocks and thatched parasols, relaxation comes easily here. Soak up the sun from the comfort of your hammock. Feel your troubles float away on a stream of bubbles in the whirlpool bath. Or simply sip an alcohol-free cocktail from the pool bar.

You don't have to lift a finger here if you don't want to, but if you do want to pick the pace up a bit there's everything from scuba and merengue dancing to spa treatments and entertaining activities to keep you busy. There's even a shopping square here called Pueblo Principe, so you don't have to leave the hotel to stock up on souvenirs.

When it comes to dinner time, foodies will be in their element. There's so much to choose from. Will it be the buffet or the Italian? Mexican or Japanese? Seabass in basil sauce, fillet steak or something deliciously Spanish? Decisions, decisions…

My partner and I had an amazing time at the GBP Bavaro. Rooms were large and spotless, and the resort was immaculate with landscaped gardens. The resort is large, but trams run frequently if it's too hot to walk. Great choice of food, from snack... more on this review
