My wife and paid £550 each through First Choice for two weeks here in May. At that price it was an absolute steal - so no real complaints. Very well appointed hotel; a superb fifth floor sea view room (see pictures), and sunshine for the vast majority of the trip – what more could you want for a bargain basement... more

My girlfriend and I booked a 2 week break to Samana with First Choice at the end of June with the intention of having a peaceful and relaxing holiday... and I’m pleased to say that is exactly what we got. The Cayacoa Hotel is great and really does have all the amenities that you could wish for during a 2... more

My husand, myself and two kids (ages 9 and 6) stayed at this hotel for 1 week at the end of June. We didn't know a lot about Samana but were willing to take a risk. My husband booked this trip via TargetVacations. This was a Bahia Principe Roulette. We were not told till we picked up our tickets which... more

I will start off by saying that we booked this holiday at the last minute and paid less than £700 each for 2 weeks all inclusive. We have paid well over double that for other holidays.

Just got back from the holiday at Gran Bahia Principe Cayacoa on last Friday and would love to go back already. We had the most fantastic holiday ever, this hotel and Samana itself are probably the best kept secret of the Dominican Republic, everyone kept saying it was so much better then the overcrowded holiday centres such as Punta Cana.... more

We stayed at the Gran Bahia Cayacoa recently and found it to be a lovely place. We would definetly go back. We travelled with First Choice and although the flight was delayed we were very satisfied and arrival was easy with the First Choice reps waiting for us and we were checked in on the bus, what a delight ,just... more

This review is based on a total British point of view, following visiting other resorts within the Caribbean in previous years, including the Dominican Republic in last 2 years. 'First Choice Airlines' great apart from the initial delay of 1 hour before departure following boarding the plane, due to some luggage hiccup, but this was soon forgotten when up in... more
