The food there was amazing; especially the buffet. Every night there was something different. i.e American, French etc. I enjoyed the amount of detail that was taken into consideration; such as the 24 hour bus service. What bothered me and my dad was the maid service because our maid seemed unhappy and always chose to do the bare minimum. Also... More

My GF and I just got back from this fantastic resort. We stayed May 13th-20th. I agree with Tony. When reading about bed bugs, there isn`t any. Beach: The beach is the best part of this resort. I`ve read about people not getting spaces but we never found that to be an issue. There is a guy on the beach... More

This is a large resort but the busses that run nearly 24 hrs mean you can get from the lobby to the pools and beach with ease. My wife (Susan) and I found the accommodation, grounds, pools, beach, bars and restaurants to be very clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful and our room was cleaned and the... More

First of all, I read reviews that made me don't want to go, but when I asked a friend and she recommended the Bahia Principe chain, as she tried Bahia Principe Bavaro in Punta Cana, DR and also tried the Bahia Principe in Mexico too, we decided to go for it. It's our first time in the DR, Punta Cana.... More

We stayed at the Esmeralda for 2 weeks and had a very good experience. The staff were wonderful, especially in housekeeping and the restaurants. A special mention goes out Nicanor who was a great help to my elderly parents. More
