    Menus

    For a 5* hotel you’d think they would have cocktail menus on the bars. Been here 4 days & not seen one 🤷‍♂️ got another 10 days to go, so come on Mr Manager let me see those menus. Have even tried online, but no luck there either. Apart from that staff here are very nice & polite

    Couples getaway

    The Bahia Principe is still one of the better hotels in the area. Love the Bahua Principe the food and accommodation is good. The restaurant with the Tent cover by the beach should have some type of fan or ac unit to blow cool air in that location. It is too hot to enjoy the food in that area. Entertainment needs improvement, better shows. Overall the property is good.

    Hotel was okay

    I will not say the photos are misleading, but I will say rooms need an upgrade. Immediately. The property itself is beautiful, you can see at some point it was the creme de la creme. But the rooms....things broken, falling apart, the smell of mold in some hallways. I will definitely visit again once some renovations are done.

    Luxurious food, pools, and entertainment!

    We mostly had a wonderful stay at Bahia Principe Luxury Runaway Bay - I would recommend this resort. I’ve stayed at both the Grand and the Luxury side. Luxury food is better. Service and rooms about the same. Luxury was less busy which was nice, easier to get pool chairs and reservations. The lobby and pool at Grand are better. No air conditioned indoor spaces to hang out besides the sports bar in the lobby at grand which wasn’t that cold. Noise level is the same due to music at the pool. Food 4/5: I enjoyed the food variety and quality at the buffets. Wish they offered mango consistently at the buffets. The luxury indoor Jazmin buffet was the best, but it wasn’t always open for lunch when we went. Las Olas is outdoors in a tent by the pool, Piscis is at the beach on grand side - both decent. The best specialty restaurants on Luxury is 1) Rodizio Brazilian BBQ 2) Picasso 3) Takara. On grand, we only tried Don Pablo which was good, but I’ve eaten at the Knife steakhouse before and remember it as excellent. We made reservations on the day we arrived and had no problem booking the 3 luxury restaurants. Almost all the Grand restaurants were fully booked for the week but had openings later so just keep checking. You can book reservations 10 days in advance on the app if you check in early. Drinks were fine, standard. Service 3/5: Mostly good but front staff/cooking staff at poolside BBQ and omelet stations were not the friendliest. Entertainment team was fun and high energy. The wait staff at all of the buffets and specialty restaurants were nice and prompt. Greeting staff and bell boys were good. Shoutout to Garfield, Rajuan, Jason from the gym, Thunder. Room/cleaning 2.5/5: Our room was in building 25 on the 6th floor. Good AC, big room, strong water pressure, bedding was comfy, but mattress very squeaky and room is outdated. There were loud renovations happening on the 7th floor that no one disclosed. The front desk/concierge both didn’t have any info on their hours or anything. We asked to switch rooms but they only had a first floor room which we did not want. Luckily the construction was usually when we were gone. Maids come in twice a day to clean (turn down service) and do a nice job with the bed and towels, but they forgot to replenish the mini bar everyday. It is easy to request water through the app though. There were a couple of mosquitoes in the room sometimes and just at the resort in general. Pool/beach: pools were 5/5, much better and bigger on the grand side if you don’t mind the kids. The beach on the luxury side was basically nonexistent 1/5. It was a little cove with rocks and seaweed. To get to the nice beach, you need to go all the way to the Grand side. Definitely was no Negril beach but it wasn’t bad. No washed up seaweed, just seaweed growing in the water. Beautiful sunsets though. Entertainment 5/5: Lots to do. Live music, karaoke, and shows every night. Loved the Bob Marley show. Xaymaica show is $15 pp and the resort tries to sell you on it hard. Sunset yoga, fitness classes, foam party, fire show, beach disco, trivia at the pool - you name it!

    BAHIA PRINCIPE PRIVILEGE OF HELL

    I've just endured the most aggravating 5 days at the Bahia Principe Luxury Resort in Runaway Jamaica. My family and were treated with disrespect and disdain The basic tenets of customer services and decency seem to be beyond your staff and management. Why is this?
