BUDGET MINDED – 4 star

An adults-only resort geared to lovers of romance and the great outdoors, Bahia Principe Grand Aquamarine is ideally situated on beautiful Bavaro Beach where sunbathing and water sports rule the day. Spacious junior suite accommodations are housed in several 3-storey villas with exceptional views.

“While the Bahia complex is huge, I didn’t find that the Aquamarine itself felt large and I never had a problem getting a lounger by the pool or getting into restaurants. The pool area is massive, with three whirlpool baths and there are loads of activities and amenities, including a full-service spa with a water circuit, a Scuba diving centre and even a casino.” — Karla Hatfield, Maritime Travel agent, Burnside, NS
