  Good fiendly fun place to go with good food and excellent drinks

  The hard working friendly staff is what makes this place. The quality of service was excellent in the bars and restaurants. Never really noticed areas of dissatisfaction from other patrons. Everyone seemed to be having fun and enjoying their vacation.Bars and restaurants were very accommodating to everyone. Have been to many all inclusives over the years and this one is one of the better ones. Only drawback is that it is a big resort but then there are many carts around to shuttle you to your destination for the day. Would go back and highly recommend.

  Had fun!

  Location wasn’t too far, Atmosphere was energetic, Rooms were clean, water was hot A/C was perfect (could use an auto setting), outdated TVs, NO ELEVATOR to gain access to upper level rooms. Value was worth the cost. No problem with noise level. Service made a promise to change room location from first entry to room when there was no elevator found but was not resolved until the 3rd day at 430pm. Lots of amenities to choose from but lack of communication about all of them, and the sister properties and what they had to offer and what could be used at those properties. WiFi is bad so paper maps and menus would be a great addition.

  Annual holiday

  Beautiful hotel. Lovely beaches. Fabulous pools. We spent 2 weeks here and had a wonderful time. Our room faced the pool and entertainment.centre so it was a little noisy but everything was quiet by 11 pm

  We just hot back from the Aquamarine, another great visit!

  Just finished another great vacation at the Aquamarine, service was great from check in to Buffets to pool bars and all the A la Cartes! All the staff were very pleasant and helpful! Our room was very clean and the mini bar was kept stocked. The property is beautiful, the rooms although very clean could use an update but certainly wouldn’t stop us from coming back!!

  Another Aquamarine Vacay

  We visited the Bahia Principe Grand Aquamarine Nov 22 to Dec 4 with our three grown children and their spouses. The overall experience was very positive. Having stayed at this resort many times in the past, it once again met our expectations and impressed all. We have stayed at all the resorts with the Bahia complex except the Punta Cana, and Aquamarine remains our favourite. It is the best value, is clean and well kept, provides friendly customer service, decent amenities, plenty of activities and entertainment and tasty diverse food choices. The rooms are a nice size and well appointed though they have a tired feel and are in need of maintenance and or refurbishment. The cleaners did a great job and worked hard. Our AC worked fine, but expelled a lot of condensation. Bed was firm but comfy and there were lots of soft pillows. Water pressure was excellent with plenty of hot water always available. There is a whirlpool tub but we did not use it. We had a pool side view, which was great in the daytime but at night it was loud, therefore earplugs are recommended if you go to bed early. The grounds are gorgeous and very well maintained. The vegetation is varied and lush. You always feel to be in a tropical garden, no matter what part of the Bahia complex you happen to be in. We mainly frequented the pools while there. There are three, side by side and a quiet spa pool. There were plenty of loungers, with some always available. They could use more umbrellas as most people seem to want shade and if you didn’t get up early, it was hit and miss if you’d get one. The water was usually quite clear and the temp was refreshing. They clean it well every morning. The bathrooms do get crowded at times, especially the ladies, and the dedicated cleaner seems to get overwhelmed. The entertainment team was super friendly and provided assorted fun activities at decent intervals. Isaac and Ray treated us like gold but they were all great. The pool bar offered a great choice of cocktails and service was typically quick, though by the afternoon, it slowed down as small crowds developed at both the stand up and swim up counters. The servers in the pool area were excellent and we used them frequently as they rarely disappointed. They were all great, Luciano, Juan, Yorky, and Aldolpho. Luciano kept us topped up and is the sweetest girl, often calling us mamy and papy. The lobby bar had a good choice of basic hard liquor. There was a fee for anything top shelf. The bartenders were typically very attentive, though in the evenings, a short wait was not unusual. There was another bar available in the tented entertainment area in the evenings. This was also the main smoking area. Servers did make their rounds but were sometimes slow with drinks, especially in the evenings. An assortment of coffee. beverages were available from two lobby coffee machines. The coffee station also had water, flavoured water and sweets. Be advised it doesn’t open until 0700. Front desk staff were generally very helpful and friendly. We found Mikey was great! He was courteous, helpful and spoke good English. There is a (shared) modern well equipped gym located between the resort and the Ambar. It has a good selection of free weights, machine weights, cardio machines and a stretching area. The beach area is beautiful, with the seaweed not being too bad during our visit. Any that is present is quickly cleaned up early in the morning. The water was rough at times but we were able to swim often. Watch for the colour of the flags because if the red flag is up, you really are taking a chance going in for a swim. As Privilege Club members we didn’t use the Aquamarine beach area so we can’t comment directly. The beach is a 5-10 min walk from the lobby, but carts are available. The beach house buffet is a crazy spot at lunchtime, therefore we always avoided it. The buffet offered plenty of delicious choices and never seemed overly crowded. There were stations for freshly cooked omelettes and fried eggs in the morning and for lunch and dinner they changed to pasta and meat stations. The greeters and wait staff were typically very attentive and polite. Smiles and trying a little Spanish on them went a long way and got you better service. Edwin was super friendly with us and always ensured we were well looked after during breakfast. They list four ala cartes restaurants for the resort, but we’ve only ever tried the gourmet restaurant, El Olivia next to the buffet. We like it and have always had great service there. Our favourite waiter, Edwin works there in the evening. There’s a Sports Bar too which is shared with the neighbouring Ambar resort. It’s only opened in the evenings, offers outdoor and indoor seating, has games, lots of TVs and pretty a good selection of tasty pub fare. There are a variety of evening shows with early lounge type entertainment typically available and then a more traditional show around 2100. Some samplings included a circus show, retro show, silent disco, karaoke and fire show. It’s not Vegas by no means but it’s decent resort type entertainment most will enjoy. We tipped well and the service we received reflected that. It’s of course a personal choice but the staff are very appreciative and count on it to supplement their meager wages. USD, DOP and CAD (bills only) are accepted, with USD being their favourite from our experience. We would recommend the BP Grand Aquamarine every time. It is our favourite within the Bahia complex. In fact, we have our next stay already reserved and we can’t wait.
