What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Great Culinary Experience

During my stay, I was thoroughly impressed with the dining options available at the resort. Every meal we had was delicious and offered a diverse selection. I particularly enjoyed the Jamaican food prepared daily at the pool for lunch. It added not just to the menu but an authentic cultural experience that I truly appreciated.

Comfortable and Spacious Room

I stayed in a large room with a beautiful view of the ocean and pool. The ambiance was serene, and the space was quite comfortable for relaxation. The room was well-maintained, and the cleanliness was impressive. I particularly liked the double sink feature in the bathroom, which made it very convenient during our stay.

Relaxing Pool Experience

The pool area was beautifully arranged with plenty of lounge chairs and shady spots. I loved the swim-up bar where I could enjoy cocktails while relaxing in the water. The ambiance was serene, making it a perfect setting for unwinding. The poolside entertainment was fun, but it didn't overshadow the tranquil spots where I could just relax.

Engaging Entertainment Options

I found the entertainment offerings at the resort to be quite engaging. The shows varied from live music on the terrace to entertaining performances that showcased local culture. The aquatic ballet was particularly impressive, and it was a good way to spend the evenings.

My stay at Luxury Bahia Principe Runaway Bay was a mixed bag. While the resort is vast and visually stunning, the service fell short of expectations, especially concerning the promised butler service which never materialized. The food varied in quality, with some fantastic dining options but also frustrating waits and limitations. The location is a highlight, providing access to beautiful beaches, yet the atmosphere can get party-centric during the day, which may not suit everyone.

This resort has a nice atmosphere with a beautiful beach and some fantastic views, but it falls short in service and dining quality. The beach is definitely a highlight, providing clear, gorgeous water, but the dining options weren't memorable and often disappointing. Overall, while there are redeeming qualities, I wouldn't say it's worth the price paid.
