The "app" is a website you can access via a QR code once you arrive at the hotel. You can only book the restaurants on the same day, so you must be at the resort when you book. It doesn't matter what platform you used to book the hotel when it comes to reservations at the restaurants 😃

We didn't experience the Platinum section of the Grand Bavaro Princess or its Perks, so we can't comment on it; however, we had a great time as regular guests. That said, we also had a great time as regular guests at Lopesan. Right now, Lopesan is ranked number one on our list, and the Grand Bavaro Princess is number four. 🙂

Is there airport transfer to and from and can you book excursions at the hotel?

@NittyGrittyTravelers

Жыл бұрын

Hi! You would have to arrange your airport transportation since we're not aware that they offer any free transportation. We recommend you book your excursions online for better pricing and more options to chose from. We sell excursions on our website here: nittygrittytravelers.com/puntacana - other than the obvious reason of making money if you book online with us, we STRONGLY recommend booking them online for a better experience and to avoid pushy salespeople.

Hola Ernesto! We loved both places, Lopesan is huge and has a lot of amenities and restaurants, which is great for longer stays, Margaritaville is smaller and more intimate, but if you're staying for more than 4 nights, you could probably get bored. Either place you stay, you'll probably have a great time because both resorts are amazing. Hope this helps 🙂
