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.

Our new favourite place! We loved everything about this resort. Beautiful, spacious and clean rooms. Everything was close and walking distance which is a must with small kids. Dining options were fantastic! So much for kids to do. My daughter loved the waterpark, kids club, and endless virgin pinacoladas! The service everywhere was incredible. Staff were so friendly! We’re already planning our next vacation here. 10/10! Highly recommend!

Excellent stay. Upgraded our room to one with a swim up pool for an extra $35 per person per night which was great. Good food, buffet is better than most of the restaurants but the Mongolian restaurant was a highlight. Kelvin at the lobby bar is easily the best bartender in the area and will get a party started. No problem with beach access or getting chairs at the pool even arriving later in the day. Walked about 3 miles down the beach to a FANTASTIC restaurant called Captain Cook. Ate there twice in one day. HIGHLY recommend. Pay cash for activities for lower rates. Overall, great experience.

For the money paid i expecting alot more. Laundry service is a joke. Concierge svc takes 1 hour. Room not cleaned 3 x, had no hair conditioner on arrival, the soaps holder in the shower fell off the wall, never got fixed. Buffet tiny. No icecream for kids unless buffet is open. Attabey beach bar closed early ran out of ingredients. Coming2 airport transportation was late both times arrival and leaving. Will not return.
