With the highest hotel capacity in the Dominican Republic, Bahia Principe’s diverse, value-driven properties set the stage for a variety of experiences.

MIAMI, FL – The Dominican Association of Tour Operators (ADOTUR) and Dominican Republic’s Popular Bank have named Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts 2017’s Hotel Chain of the Year.  The leader in all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts captures the Dominican Republic’s idyllic appeal and offers more accommodation options in the country than any other hotel brand.

Since the debut of Grand Bahia Principe San Juan in 1995, the Bahia Principe brand has flourished in the island country. Today, the Dominican Republic is home to 14 Bahia Principe properties and over 7,000 rooms. Each offers upscale, yet approachable, accommodations with opportunities for excitement and relaxation, appealing to travelers from all walks of life seeking singular resort experiences including: adults-only, multi-generational, off-the-beaten-path, health-centric or lively. With Bahia Principe, there’s truly something for everyone with a presence in Samana, La Romana, Rio San Juan and an expansive seven-property complex in Punta Cana.

“Bahia Principe is honored to be recognized for our ability to provide guests with singular experiences based on their budget, interests and needs,” said Helen Montijano, VP of Sales & Marketing for the U.S. and Canada. “With more than two decades of experience providing all-inclusive vacations in the Caribbean, the brand understands that every guest is different and has worked tirelessly to create a portfolio of hotels that offers travelers the opportunity to experience happiness in a way that is aligned with their specific desires.”

Samana
There is a reason Samana is considered one of the world’s most beautiful destinations. The peninsula offers unique must-experience natural sites like Los Haitises National Park featuring a wondrous display of Dominican flora and fauna and Salto del Limon, a cascading waterfall regarded as one of the country’s most alluring sites. For health-conscious travelers seeking a balanced vacation Luxury Bahia Principe Samana offers everything needed to relax, refresh and feel rejuvenated. This adults-only boutique property features the brand’s exclusive WE Wellness Experience. Based on three pillars, We-Care, We-Balance and We-Train, the program combines wellness, cosmetic treatments and sports activities to enhance the travel experience including activities such as Zen Yoga, meditative sessions, anti-stress coaching and athletic activities with a certified trainer. With only 149 rooms, guests enjoy an exclusive experience and personalized service.  

For families, Grand Bahia Principe El Portillo has the best of Samana. The resort’s Family Junior Suite and Family Master Suite accommodations offer the opportunity to stay connected on vacation with extra amenities for younger travelers including bath kits and a specialized minibar with juices, shakes, milk and soft drinks. Families who want a more exclusive experience can opt for Grand Bahia Principe Cayacoa. Nestled on the opposite side of the peninsula, the property offers plenty of opportunities for enjoyment and outdoor adventure within a more intimate and peaceful atmosphere. 

For guests who seek luxury and seclusion: the one-hotel island Cayo Levantado is home to the brand’s hidden treasure resort. Luxury Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado is Samana’s most upscale hotel with only 268 rooms. Guests here can enjoy serenity by the property’s two private beaches or by taking in the exquisite natural surroundings of beachfront Villa Playa accommodations that feature a balcony or terrace with hammock and outdoor whirlpool.

La Romana
Halfway between the capital city of Santo Domingo and the tourist mecca Punta Cana, La Romana is charming and serene, with attractions like Altos de Chavon, a colonial village with cobbled streets, and Isla Catalina, a SCUBA diving hotspot.

The brand’s La Romana complex features two resorts: Grand Bahia Principe La Romana, is ideal for families with a pool designated for kids and dedicated activities. The adults-only Luxury Bahia Principe Bouganville, is a quaint, colonial oasis with luxury perks like butler services and access to the brand’s La Romana Golf Club, a 27-hole executive course at Playa Nueva Romana, including an executive par 3, 9-hole course which will open in August. It/s the perfect choice for golf enthusiasts.

Rio San Juan (Puerto Plata)
Located on the northern coast, Rio San Juan’s Playa Grande and Playa Preciosa beaches are a favorite among surfers. Grand Bahia Principe San Juan, the brand’s first paradise, offers the perfect formula for enjoying the essence of the Caribbean with a one-mile private beach made for unwinding in style.

Punta Cana
Just as perfect for family bonding as it is for alone time with a significant other, Punta Cana personifies the ultimate Caribbean escape. Bahia Principe’s newest resort in its Bavaro complex, Luxury Bahia Principe Fantasia, offers activities and amenities where multi-generational groups don’t have to leave the property to enjoy a comprehensive vacation experience. Younger travelers will be fascinated by the fairytale castle in the center of the property and adults will be hard-pressed not to let out their inner child. 

Four additional family-friendly properties located in Punta Cana include Luxury Bahia Principe Esmeralda with prime beachfront accommodations, Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro and Grand Bahia Principe Punta Cana, the brand’s largest properties featuring 744 and 756 rooms, respectively, and Grand Bahia Principe Turquesa, home to a sprawling waterpark and a unique kid’s spa.

The brand also offers adults-only accommodations in Bavaro for those who prefer a more intimate setting. Aptly named, Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar Blue is situated on the destination’s beautiful azure waters and Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar Green faces its lush gardens.

No matter which property guests choose, they’re able to see, hear, taste and feel the Bahia Principe difference: a commitment to placing the guest’s needs above all else.
