Hi Ladies .. I have recently recived group rates for November 2012 and the difference between the GRAN BAHIA PRINCIPE BAVARO and the BARCELO PUNTA CANA is only about $42.00 per person. Group rates do end up being a little higher in price cause they do guranatee everyone together, so to get all those seats together, they do raise the price a bit. I have recently received photo's from the BRACEL PUNTA CANA and is it absolutely not worth it for the private dinner reception , it is not nice looking at all. After doing months and months of homework, the GRAN BAHIA PRINCIPE BAVARO is a much better deal for you buck and is an ultimate destination wedding location and venue. Just to let you all know a well, you can ask to rent the gazebo after your semi private dinner to have you dancing if you desire. It is an option as well.
