Open For Business

The Bahia Principe Grand El Portillo in, Dominican Republic is now open for business and showing off a US$10 million transformation.

Committed to reactivating tourism and helping the local community in Samaná, Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts looks forward to welcoming guests at this renewed destination during the holiday season and beyond.

Isabel Piñero, vice president of marketing & communications at de Grupo Piñero, the parent company of Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts, said: “We’re pleased to bring this beloved property, Bahia Principe Grand El Portillo, back to life now with a fresh and serene new look that reflects the crystal blue waters that surround it.”

Piñero continued: “The property, which celebrates its 20-year anniversary next year, was not on the roster to undergo extensive updates, but after experiencing a fire on-site while closed and evaluating its value in the region as well as for the local community, we decided to make this substantial investment and bring it back for all to experience and enjoy.”

The company has a total of four resorts in Samaná, a peninsula located on the northern region of the Dominican Republic best known for its lush greenery and postcard perfect beaches.
