Cana Bay Golf Club and Cocotal Golf and Country Club are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Arena Gorda Beach and Los Corales Beach. Consider Coco Bongo Punta Cana for a night out, and don't miss Sirenis Aquagames Water Park if you're traveling with kids.

Good for a vacation where your expectations are not extremely high. If you are looking for a great place to get away good food drinks beautiful beach pool shows this is the place to be.
We spent one week to Bahia Principe Fantasia, my 8 years old son loved it and wanted to stay more days. Staff was professional and nice.
I liked the food and the service as well.
Would like to go back again,
Great resort for families! Close to the beach (only a golf cart ride away). Big pool with 2 different sections. Plenty of activities for the kids (the kids club is great!)
Clean rooms, good friendly stuff, great pools and beach. The only complain would be the food, food could be better, otherwise great property to stay in especially for kids.
Was very kid friendly and the staff was amazing a lot of things to do. All of the pools close at 6 PM and the buffet lines are long be patient with the staff. They are amazing and they try their best overall great experience for the price.

Great for kids, autism friendly, food was good, rooma ste a bit run down, a few blackouts during an early part of the morning
Excellent hotel. Very family-friendly, beautiful and clean. The staff was very kind and the atmosphere was perfect for families with kids. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.
We loved spending time at Bahia Principe! The food was amazing! The best of DR so far. They had Dominican dishes. The pools were great. The music and entertainment so fun. Thank you so much!
Very kid friendly! Our kids enjoyed the multiple pools and different water features. They had different water entertainment during the day such as a paddle board race, aqua show and an inflatable activity. Amazing dinner show at Onerio! A silent disco, and neon show as well.
Very clean, good staff, property condition is very good, my only complaint is the food, the food at the buffet is very poor, bad quality and very repetitive.
