I had a pretty disappointing stay at Bahia Principe Fantasia Punta Cana. The choice of restaurants was decent, and the staff were mostly polite, but the overall experience didn't live up to the 5-star standards advertised. The cleanliness and service were lacking, and there were several maintenance issues in my room.

Rooms
5.0
My room felt outdated and was lacking basic maintenance. There was rust in the bathroom, and the layout felt odd with a huge window between the bathroom and bedroom, which offered no privacy. Plus, the air conditioning didn't cool well at all.
Service
5.0
The service was frustrating overall. I didn't see a single pool server during my stay, and the drink orders went ignored at the buffets. Although some staff were great, the overall experience left a lot to be desired.
Location
5.0
The location wasn't as convenient as I expected. It wasn't directly on the beach; I had to walk about 6-7 minutes or take a golf buggy to get there. This was definitely not mentioned in the advertising.
Dining
5.0
I was really let down by the dining options. The food was extremely repetitive, and there were times I was served cold meals. There was one instance when my son was given undercooked chicken, which was concerning.
Facilities

The facilities were decent, but nothing special. The evening entertainment area was extremely hot and uncomfortable because of the lack of air conditioning. It felt like a missed opportunity for a relaxing evening.

I had a fantastic four-night stay overall, enjoying the variety of kid-friendly activities and the beautiful beach area. The food was pretty good too, with lots of choices at the restaurants. However, I did encounter some issues with service when I needed help during a health emergency with my son, and it felt like the concierge could have been more helpful. Overall, I'd rate my experience high because most staff were kind and attentive.

My stay at Bahia Principe Fantasia Punta Cana was a mixed bag. The beach was beautiful and the pools were lovely and warm, but I found the overall service lacking and many of the staff seemed overwhelmed. The dining experience was decent but chaotic at times, especially during breakfast. However, I did have some great moments with the evening entertainment, particularly the Lion King performance.

The Bahia Principe Fantasia Punta Cana had its shine, especially with the fun water parks for my little one, but the service and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. While there were enjoyable moments, the lack of attention to detail in rooms and dining really impacted our stay.

Rooms
