Congrats on your engagement!!
Just wanted to say that I was at Bahia Principe in 2006 and loved it. That's where my fiance asked me to be his girlfriend (awe) so we thought it was only fitting to get married there. The service, food, pools, everything was great.
I know there are some bad reviews out there but try not to let them scare you. Keep in mind more people who have bad service post comments to the web then those who have great service.
We loved it and can't wait to go back. Plus the coordinator I've been working with is fabulous!
Good luck with your plans!!!
