    Everything was 5 star, I can not fault this hotel in anyway, from arrival to departure everything was wonderful. The rooms are beautiful with lovely comfy pillows and four poster beds, they are cleaned daily and everything is immaculate. Food choice was fabulous, with A La carte Restaurants of various choices all serving quality food and with top notch waiting service, The Buffet was also 5 star, lots of choice and elegantly laid out with waiters filling your glasses up constantly. The wine was nice and the bar choice was amazing throughout the various bars and restaurants, serving good quality imported drinks, and good quality wine. Plenty of areas to sit, undercover and in the sunshine, bars, lobby areas and just pretty little canopy covered areas. There are 2 pools with plenty of sun beds and both with pool bars, additionally they offer food at lunch time on a snack trolley. I visited in May, there was a nice amount of guets and it never felt crowded. Beach is beautiful.

    The transportation to and from the hotel felt extremely dangerous. Especially the drive to the resort. The first driver was sick, he drove erratically, and stopped at the store to get himself an energy drink (possibly alcoholic). The food is not great either. The water doesn't get very hot, and there was an issue with the drain in my son's bathtub. The bath tub would not stay stopped up. I asked for a different room and they said they would come fix it, but they never did. Something about the hotel and my entire stay in the Dominican Republic felt off as a darker-skinned black traveler. I was singled out at security at the airport and people just were not very kind. I probably won't be coming back to the DR, but it was a good experience to see for myself. Overall, I can't support a place that treats a group of people (Haitians) like black people and immigrants are treated in the US. I hope building a wall between DR and Haiti solves all of their problems (spoiler, it won't because scapegoating never works).

    Some of the staff were very nice. Bring plenty of dollars for tips, and the staff will be much nicer. I'm happy to tip overworked (and likely underpaid) workers. The room was spacious and clean.

    Rooms were comfortable but could do with updating. A couple of leaks in bathroom but these were fixed promptly. Minibar fridge didn’t work but we were given a stand alone fridge. Beer and snacks weren’t refreshed daily. Bathroom toiletries were basic and not refreshed regularly - had to request tissues and shower gel. Bath mats seemed to be in short supply! Main swimming pool was VERY noisy and more like 18-30 holiday! Quiet pool ok but not enough space for everyone wanting to escape the noisy pool. Very North American type of resort that has apparently (info from people who have been going there for years) become much noisier and loud over the years. Beach next to noisy pool that detracts from it. Sea is very cloudy rather than Caribbean blue due to its proximity to a river flowing into the bay. One of our group was vegetarian which was informed to the restaurants but he was still presented with meat filled ravioli and fish. Staff didn’t seem aware of dietary requirements. Very little option for vegetarians and nothing really for vegans. Golf was very expensive.

    Hotel is a nicely designed with airy feel to it. Several restaurants and great choice of food in main buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff were exceptional - very friendly and helpful. Reasonable golf course nearby.

    For a 5 star this needs updating. The rooms were tired and one of us had a leaky bathroom toilet sink and ceiling that they fixed. The Asian restaurant was not high quality enough for a la carte. We had a dinner on the beach and one of us was vegetarian. We told them this when booking and said no meat no fish and then they brought out chicken ravioli that was replaced by veggies and salmon. If you choose to be vegetarian or vegan this wouldn’t be the best choice unless you are ok with buffet every meal. They need to have a vegetarian option on the menus marked clearly. If you want clear Caribbean waters this hotel doesn’t have the blue clear waters as the bay is murky.

    The grounds are beautiful, it is kept very clean. The staff were amazing and very friendly. The buffet food was amazing!

    The buffet air conditioning needs repairs ASAP. We need to decide to go another place because it was not appropriate and may damage the food.

    The staff is awesome!! Should check about the weather with the staff, they need to provide another kind of uniforms like bermudas because is too hot 🥵 and make them sweat and that’s normal but not fair for them.

    Too many flies in the buffet area, the other thing was the TV in room 54217, problems because I saw the TV with bright lines. Little things like the controller didn't work and sometimes I would report it to be fixed, the jacuzzi was fixed instantly because it kept emptying.

    I love everything, Servers like Buenaventura and Johan do a great service. Exceptional service. And I Love the entertainment crew, they make me feel super Special, Mickey is a great person with great personality like all of them. My Name is Ricardo Fuentes from Puerto Rico.

    Staying at bahia bouganville adults only was an expirience like no other, the views, the daily activities and the amazing shows from the property are just worth your stay. The meals and cocktails offered by the all day buffet and the ala carte restaurants were an international expirience for the taste buds. Of course lets not forget the exceptional kind staff who were there to help us around the clock , teach and share the true expirience of how the dominicanos live in this lovely island. Over all loved it and will come back.

    One cannot compare this beach at LaRomana to the Bavaro beach at Punta Cana but it’s still a nice beach.

    The grounds were beautiful and although not huge very nice for walks. Liked the idea of two wonderful pools one for louder fun activities and one for those looking for quiet relaxation with both serving good drinks. The beach and water is not “pristine” but still very nice with warm water, modest waves, clean sand, many shady palms and ample lounge chairs at pools and beach.

    The location isn’t great. The ocean was murky. There were jellyfish and my partner got stung. Our telephone didn’t work, so 24 hour room service was not available. We had to go down to the lobby anytime we wanted to ask a question. The speciality restaurants were bad. The main buffet was way better.

    The property was nice and fairly well maintained
