Sep 06, 2026Dissatisfied
Awful, Hotel room was 24 C / 75 F. I was fighting from 4pm-10pm for them to change my room. They kept giving protocol excuses until I told them I was changing my departure to tomorrow. Pool water was HOT I couldn’t stay in the pool I felt started getting over heated. It was not refreshing felt like a hot tub. I’m from NYC and I’m use to toughness but their Buffet staff are clearly over worked, very very few were friendly. Never saw buffet tables sanitized between use. Why are the utensils placed on the tables, before seated I rather pick them up myself. people would seat touch them and then change their minds sit somewhere else. My son left sick with sore throat.

Aug 30, 2026HORRIFIC
⭐ 1 STAR — SAVE YOUR MONEY! DO NOT STAY HERE! Bahia Principe Explore Legend was the worst all-inclusive resort I have ever experienced. It advertises itself as 5-star, but our experience was nowhere near 5-star quality. Our room had mold, broken/falling doors, and housekeeping cleaned only ONCE during our 7-day stay. We constantly had to call for towels and washcloths. The “complimentary” minibar was never restocked, despite repeated calls to the lobby. The buffet was absolutely disgusting. We encountered dead roaches in food and live roaches crawling on tables and guests’ plates, as well as roaches in the bathrooms. We also saw termites throughout the cabinetry. Our family of seven, including a 4-year-old, was horrified. Restaurant reservations were extremely difficult, making dining outside the buffet nearly impossible. The beds and pillows were terribly uncomfortable, and the pull-out couch mattress was stained. The beach was covered in seaweed, despite being told it was regularly cleaned. The advertised “casino” was basically just a handful of slot machines. On our final day, August 29, 2026, two employees were screaming at each other in the hallway and nearly came to blows. I had to complain to management multiple times throughout our stay. For the amount of money we paid, this was completely unacceptable. I am requesting a full refund. 🚨 DON’T LET THE 5-STAR CLAIM FOOL YOU. THINK TWICE BEFORE BOOKING THIS RESORT. OUR FAMILY WILL NEVER RETURN.

Aug 26, 2026The air conditioning in the main restaurants is broken.
The air conditioning in the main restaurants (Larimar and Le Gourmet) was broken. According to the staff, the problem has been going on for some time, but I trust the hotel's efficiency and believe it will be resolved soon; I will provide an update once it is fixed. That said, it offers good value for money, with very good food and attentive staff. I’ll be back soon! El aire acondicionado de los principales restaurantes (Larimar y Le Gourmet) estaba averiado. Según el personal, el problema persiste desde hace algún tiempo, pero confiando en la eficiencia del hotel, pronto se solucionará; en ese caso, volveré con información actualizada. Por lo demás, la relación calidad-precio es buena: comida excelente y personal atento. ¡Volveré pronto! Ar condicionado dos principais restaurantes (Larimar e Le Gourmet) ESTRAGADO. De acordo com os funcionários o problema persiste ha algum tempo, mas acreditando na eficiência do hotel, em breve o problema será solucionado; neste caso retornarei com informações atualizadas. Além disso, o custo benefício é válido, comida muito boa e funcionários atenciosos. Retornarei em breve!

Disappointed
2nd time here, came here 7 years ago when it was known as the Fantasia. The shows were much better and the service was much better. Unfortunately it has taken a dip since then. You have to beg to get your room cleaned and many days it was often just left. Same as replenishing the water and soft drinks in your fridge. Most days I had to go collect them myself. Shows on an evening that were once impressive very poor these days. The main restaurant “Larimar” was once well air conditioned now they save pennies and leave the doors open for all the mosquitos to come in instead. Won’t be going back, there are better places to be had for the money
