Judy and Maria's First Impressions of the Gran Bahía Príncipe Punta Cana Resort   Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana 001-200.jpg



Our first vision of the Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana Resort was of tall hand-forged metal palm trees surrounded by hand-crafted metal pineapples, all set in the midst of a flowing fountain surrounded by tropical greenery.  The polished marble floor and bright artwork on the walls, along with huge floral arrangements bring forth a realization that one's long awaited vacation is finally about to begin.
