Gran Bahia Principe Jamaica All Inclusive Guest Reviews
Just returned from the Gran Bahia Principe on 12/23/11. I must say up front that the common areas, lobby and grounds and pool area were breathtakingly beautiful. The rooms themselves were just average and we stayed in the gold club rooms supposedly their VIP rooms on the top level. Simple things you would expect from Motel 6 did not happen for us at the Gran Bahia. We did not received any wash cloths until well into our 2nd day as they ran out. Our 2nd day we did not received any face towel as they had ran out. The bathroom door would not lock and the toilet broke and would not flush. Once we reported the problem with the toilet and the door, they were fixed promptly.

My wife and I just returned from our 10 day vacation at the BHP Jamaica and we had an amazing time. First off the Hotel is massive and very well kept, the people and service was great except for the lady that gives you your winnings at the Sports Bar. We had a great time meeting the staff especially the lifeguards. Tyrone and Robert were very interesting and we really enjoyed Jamaica from their perspective. Our room was 18515 and it had an amazing view of the bay and was very clean and well kept. Our Maid was great, she kept our room clean and fully stocked. Tip...take some dollar store stuff for the maids, it goes along way. We have travelled to many different places and this Hotel will be hard to beat. The pool area was massive and very well kept as were the grounds. We spent the majority of the time at the beach wherwe simply soaked up the sun and swam in the beautiful crystal clear water. The booze was great and always flowing at each bar, great staff and if you want Vodca and lemonaide ask for Jamaican lemonaide. If not you will get Sprite.The food was great with each night being a different theme. The food was always full except the am bacon. Had to wait around many times for new supply but really who cares. We did the Dunn's River Falls excursion and it was a blast. Buy water shoes at the Shops and not in the hotel store, you will need them. Overall the trip was better than expected. We stayed from Dec 1st-11th and would return in a heartbeat.

Three people in our party had to change their rooms due the building works noise. 6am til 10pm. WiFi isn't free, and won't work in your room, sit in the lobby, but still pay, to check emails or Skype. Staff start pushing carts around to clean rooms from 4am, but your room never seems to be turned down til 3pm. Younger staff are fine, the older staff are quite rude unless you constantly tip. If you get a safe be sure to get your money back before 5pm if you check out at night, as they have no cashier - I avoided paying by card after the receptionist tried at every opportunity to get my card details.

I was very skeptical when reading other reviews but I'm glad I turned a blind eye and just went with my gut. The place is amazing! Very cheerful staff! The food was sooo good. Different theme every night with the many a la carte restaurants - you will not be dissapointed :)

Overall positive experience. Some random notes that might be useful to people: 1) If you are into trying local food, this resort option is great - it has a special section of the dining room devoted to jamaican food and a great jerk chicken station next to the beach. Jamaican food was excellent in this hotel. 2) All food was not consistently good; my wife got a minor food poisoining. 3) If you are a swimmer, this beach might dissapoint. The beach is shallow. There is barely any place where you can not stand. This is great for kids, but not great for people who love real swimming. If you want to snorkell, you'll enjoy it however (especially on the far end, close to the nudist part.) 4) no free wifi 5) good coffee
