GRAND BAHIA PRINCIPE SAN JUAN / Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

  “ I like booze and dancing” We got there at night and enjoyed a very bumpy ride on a bus for an hour or so to get to the resort . Our check in was quick and painless , we received diamond club bracelets which entitled us to 4 A La Carte restaurants a week and a special dining area for breakfast and lunch , this was great for when we didn't want to wait in line at the buffet . Thank God the resort was 90% Canadian people because we love to party and get drunk. But the alcohol used at this resort is pretty weak like 30% or less . If you have an opportunity to bring some booze from Canada ....Do it!! The pool is great and if you love to bath in the sun its the place to be . Avoid playing Volley Ball or any other beach treading activity because of an overwhelming abundance of sand fleas that will keep you scratching for days. When looking into doing an Excursion i suggest talking to the SunQuest Rep , Will . He is a Great guy. We did 2 excursions and enjoyed both very much . The first was a horseback riding one with a traditional lunch and a visit to an amazing beach , and a little hut where the best coffee is traditionally made. The second one is The Catamaran Excursion, its a lovely full day on a Catamaran and snorkeling @ two beautiful reefs . As for the food off the buffet its a hit and miss some day it was amazing and other days it was adequate . Remember to bring some Imodium if your not used off eating Abroad . The Alcohol is all made by the company Normandy and is kinda weak , many variations of fruity and traditional , remember that coconut is a natural laxative . The Seafood A La Carte is the best by far and the entertainment never ends . Remember your Ipod if you get sick of spanish music like i do . I would definitely recommend going for a good tan and a good party , the disco is a walk up the lane way and gets nice and sweaty .
