Couldn't have been better.
Everything about this resort is perfect. We had a wonderful time and the entire staff was very accommodating. I would recommend the resort to anyone who wants to get away to a private place with more than you could ask for.
Wonderful vacation. Hotel is on a private island - access was by boat. Wonderful service, beautifully appointed rooms and hotel, Landscaping, pools & beach were beautiful. Very relaxing beach vacation.

Love this Resort
I’ve been to this resort twice and I love it. This is a layed back resort. Not too much entertainment by the poolside and beach. It’s perfect for couples that want to spend quality time in a relaxed environment. The Jr suits rooms are very comfortable with an open view to Jacuzzi. this might not be too good if traveling with kids and want to spend relax time in the hot tub, not much privacy from that perspective. Staff is excellent, food is amazing. The lobby is very cozy and elegant, good place to sit around have some drinks and listen to the live piano they have some nights. Overall I love this place and can’t wait to go back! Best of all all inclusive, I had a bottle of wine delivered every night to my room to have while in the hot tub (at no additional cost!).
The only down thing about this resort is the roads to get there. Really scary for first time travelers to DR. But once you are there its paradise.

A Mama Juana cocktail from the beachside Hibiscus Bar is a luscious concoction of rum, wine and honey that's especially wonderful while lounging under an umbrella on the pristine Caribbean beach.

Hotel Description
Gran Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado: All Inclusive, Seclusion and Serenity
Write your concerns a rain check, and escape to the picture-perfect Gran Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado in Samana, Dominican Republic, where nature and comfort form a perfect marriage on one of the world's most breathtaking islands.
If those pesky cares and concerns manage to stick with you past arrival, have them escorted off the premises by the talented staff at the Bahia Spa, where a dream-team of rejuvenation has been assembled to caress out all your kinks with an assortment of moisturizing treatments, massages and hydrotherapy. After the stress has been kicked to the curb, tango your toes through the satiny sands of the private island's Honda Beach and score a plush Bali-bed, tailor-made for relaxation. If wet-and-wild's more your style, wander over to the famous Bacardi Beach and get your fix with kayaks, catamarans and windsurfing. As a result of the island's protected position in the bay, waters here are calm and shallow with a plush sandy bottom--perfect for snorkel-lovers.
Luxurious canopy beds, private balconies and bathrooms fitted with hydromassage bathtubs will have you never wanting to leave the Gran Bahia Principe Cayo Levantado. Begin each day with 24-hour, all inclusive room service or make your way down to the breakfast buffet. Then, after fueling up, venture out into the glorious Caribbean sunshine for a trip around the jogging circuit, a tennis match, or a sunbath in the gorgeous solarium. Cool off in one of the resort's three pools, or let the kiddos play in the children's pool while you snuggle your honey in the adults-only hot tubs. When the sun retreats, treat yourself to delicious fare at Don Pablo Gourmet Restaurant, Mediterráneo, or Portofino Italian Restaurant.
The secluded island of Cayo Levantado has enough beauty and fun for all vacation makes and models. Stroll along the quaint avenues and browse unique local shops for handmade souvenirs. Or, clock in some wonderful family time while splashing the day away with the friendly sea lions before you head back to the Gran Bahia Principe in Samana for more leisurely good times.
