Now is time for writing my review considering Mike from Toronto would like to read it !!! First of all I will start saying that the purpose of this visit was to celebrate my 70s BD with my partner !!! We did well choosing one of the best resorts only for adults. At my arrival we got beautiful decoration at the bedroom door and also delicious bottle of French champagne 🍾. My BD dinner was at El Pescador restaurant fine dining and was a memorable night considering the celebration offered by all staff at that restaurant and of course sponsored by the best two hotel managers: Ana Ortega and Leonardo, who every day made us feel important . Besides we met such a dedicated and courteous staff as Wilbert and Radaisi and Jazmin restaurant , Santa our memorable housekeeper, Chimichanga and Mickey Mouse excellent entertainers , and many others that with their lovely attitude and commitment are wonderful human beings. The facilities are beautiful, the beach is delicious and the culinary at any time any location , let us say fine dining and buffets is exquisite and very well presented

“Wonderful memories”

Our first time to La Romana but our 25 th time to the Bahia Principe chain . We had a longer then expected bus to the resort from the Punta Cana airport because of construction. We were about an hour and 45 minutes going to the resort and 50 going back . Things definitely out of anyone’s control .… more

Our first time to La Romana but our 25 th time to the Bahia Principe chain . We had a longer then expected bus to the resort from the Punta Cana airport because of construction. We were about an hour and 45 minutes going to the resort and 50 going back . Things definitely out of anyone’s control . Once we arrived at the hotel we had the best experience we have ever had at a check in process . We visited the Esmeralda in April and the check in process was an absolute mess as well as the checkout. We had actually thought of not going back to the Bahia chain but decided to give Bougainville a try . We are SO happy we did . The food was amazing. We had the buffet the first night and did 6 nights of a la cartes . Being a repeat customer of the Bahia gets you more perks ( loyalty programs, we have black status ). All the restaurants were amazing, not one issue with any , other than people showing up in flip flops and tshirts for dinner . The service and staff are fantastic at their jobs , from the gardeners to the managers, all were amazing. Special mention to the pool bar staff , Marien and Pedro , both are wonderful people who truly care about their jobs . The beach was not the best but we researched this resort before we booked and were well aware of the issues . It’s beautiful to look at but we definitely didn’t swim in it . Unfortunately we saw many jelly fish so we didn’t want to temp fate . Lots of golfers at the resort while we were there . Most were very happy with the courses on site . Never had any issues getting chairs by either pool . Always lots of shade available too . Never any issues getting beach towels . One area we need to mention is the lobby bars . There’s 2 !! Which is a great idea in the evenings . Lots of wait staff as well . More of the Bahias need to take lessons from here . Even with the lobby full of people , we never waited for drinks . Lots of seating areas as well . We definitely will return . Thank you for taking the bad experience from the Esmeralda and restoring a wonderful memory at the Bougainville .

Just waiting for pick up so not quite left yet. Absolutely fantastic time. Rooms ultra clean and spacious, Food, great selection and always well cooked and presented, staff....what can you say, everyone so polite and friendly. But a big shout out to 2 in particular....Marien and Pedro at the quiet pool bar, there hospitality was over and above what to expect. Anyone going soon and likes a creme de menthe cocktail ask Marien for a .....carole king .

“Musty rooms and the brownest water in the DR”

I had an enjoyable experience at this resort. I found the staff to be helpful and friendly. For a smaller resort the food options were excellent except for the actual process of trying to make a booking. The main property was clean and well maintained and easy to navigate. I did have an issue with my room which smelled so musty I had to change it, the second room was the same so I just assume all the rooms have the same terrible smell. My biggest disappointment was the beach, the water was so brown and appeared dirty. At the beech there are wasps buzzing around everywhere, which is also unpleasant. On two occasions I went to get beach towels and was told there were none left. I find it interesting that is gets a 4.8 rating on google and 4.0 on TripAdvisor, I think the reviews on TripAdvisor are obviously more accurate and real.
