Really enjoying staying at Bahia Principe Esmeralda. The staff was really nice, especially Luisa by the beach bar. She made us feel welcome and made sure we always had a great time. There were minor instances when we felt a bit annoyed, like when the vendors by the beach kept coming and asking us to buy their services. Usually there is one or two, but this time it felt like we were being asked every 3-5 minutes. It was not nice. Something needs to be done. Other than that, this was a great experience. Entertainment was well done and they had enough variety for the whole family. From typical dancing shows with local folklore, to circus shows or bubble parties by the pool. Bahia Principe is getting better with time.

I have some suggestion which are the following ; there is a need to have some food at the pool area. The restaurant at the beach should allow guests to bring food to where they are seat at beach. Caicu restaurant needs to improve the rodízio service.

I have been to Punta Cana over 25 times. We always go to a different resort. This resort was by far the most organized, cleanest, staffed, great food, safe water, felt safe to walk around in the evening! I can’t have more better things to say. From families to couples this resort was outstanding!

Marzo 22-2025 a marzo 25: primera vez en un Bahia. El personal que nos limpiaba la habitacion fue excelente!! Recepcion tambien buena atencion, los maleteros muy simpaticos y amables. Decidimos solo usar el restaurant buffet para que nuestro hijo tuviera mas opciones al comer, lo que no nos gusto mucho fue el demorar en servirnos cafe x la manana y tragos, y cuando preguntabamos xq demoraban algunos nos ignoraban porque no era su area. No hablo de todos puesto que hubieron 2 chicas que fueron muy amables con nosotros pero lo que en si molestaba eran las peleas que tenian entre ellos por errores de recoger platos o servir , sentar o preparar mesas etc. Entiendo que pueden haber problemas en un trabajp pero los clientes no tienen xq saberlo y asumir que los clientes no entienden x hablar otro idioma habmeos muchos que hablamos espanol, y al pelearse entre ellos no hace el ambiente muy comodo. y nuestra otra queja serai un senor de coming 2, nosotros pagamos x un ride privado y cuando fui a preguntarle adonde me tenia que dirigir a tomar mi taxi para el aeropuerto me contsto de una manera ruda.Y en cuanto al servicio de transporte el chofer un profesional en todo sentido, muy educado y conducia de manera segura y excelente. Resalto el servicio de Wilder de los maleteros, Osiris el chofer de regreso al aeropuerto, la senora de la limpieza que no recuerdo su nombre y una chica del buffet que nos preparo unos postres para cantarle feliz cumpleanos a nuestro hijo.

Loved Bahia Esmerelda!!! Property was clean. Staff was so nice. Shout to to Kelvin and Orlando at the beach bar! Food was ok. Reservations for restaurants were booked up. I’d recommend trying to get them early. We had dinner on some of the other properties, but Esmerelda was definitely the better option due to being on the beach (less mosquitoes). We did parasailing and snorkeling and honestly they were really well priced! Will definitely be returning.
