Accommodations were wonderful! Food was good. Can't expect what you're used to at home. Lots of variety, two main cafeteria style restaurants. There are a la carte specialty restaurants, but, difficult to book at times. We had booked 3, the japanese one is amazing with live cooking in front of you. Just be sure you're at the right one because there are two almost in the same area. Even if you have reservation, you still need to wait a long time to be seated, but....it's worth every second! The italian restaurant we booked at was not as good, but okay. Like I mentioned before, we can't expect what we're used to here at home. The wait time between courses was very long! Reservation at 6, got out at 9! We missed the shows. We cancelled the 3rd restaurant after that. The beach was beautiful, but unfortunately we had lots of sea weed....nature's fault. Resort was very clean. Had towels every day, but had to go early for exchange. When we got there,they gave us each a color coded bracelet, depending where you're staying. Important to know: you're not allowed in other areas of the resort, ex fantasia. There's a guard at the beginning of every new section, stopping you from going through, but they're there till a certain time only. The shows are not great but the music is nostalgic, from the 80s, 90s, if you like that era, you'll love it! Don't expect shows like in Cuba, not at all the same. We saw a show in Fanatasia: a circus act, then they continued outside where the castle lit up, like in Disney, very nice. There are regular shuttle carts to bring you around the resort. We went to the Dolphin excursion, which was a little pricey but amazing! Staff is polite and go out of their way to help you. I would recommend this resort for sure, and would probably return. …

We are wrapping up our week at the Esmerelda so I thought I would leave my review. This was our 4th stay here and while things have definitely changed since our last visit in 2018, we still had an amazing time. Check-in: We emailed our room request and reservations 2 weeks in advance. 5 days prior I did the online check-in and our dinner reservations were not added so I went in and did them all myself. We got everything we wanted without issues. When we arrived it took 20 minutes max to get transportation from the Punta Cana down to the Esmerelda, check-in at the lobby and get to our room. The process was fast and simple. Room: We were on the 2nd floor in building 91 in a room that didn't face the pool which worked well for us. We travelled with our 8 year old and the pool area can be loud at night. The room was clean and exactly how we remembered from previous years. I let them know we were traveling for my husband's birthday and they left us a bottle of sparkling wine and some chocolates in the room to celebrate. Yes the rooms are a little out dated but honestly we were barely in our room so it isn't something that's going to make or break our trip. Housekeeping/Butler: In previous trips we met our butler immediately when we checked in. Our fridge was always stocked well based upon our preferences. On this trip we found we needed to leave a larger tip for housekeeping. However, my husband spoke to them on the 2nd day and after that we had the fridge fully stocked which was great (beer, water, pop, juice only, no mini bottles of liquor). We did not meet the butler till our 2nd last night when I requested a special bath (Jose) for our daughter at the concierge desk on the first floor. The bath made her night and he left his number to reach him on WhatsApp if we needed anything else. Last night my husband asked if we could get a bottle of sparkling wine for our last night and he brought that up with a plate of chocolate covered strawberries which were amazing 😍 I wish we had gone to the desk earlier in our trip as he really was fantastic. Meals: We ate breakfast and lunch at the buffets and the food/service was great. The staff were always super friendly. For dinners we ate at Maiko, Bella Italia, Tequila, Garden Grill, Thali, The Greek, and the Brazilian restaurant at the Esmerelda. Tip - take a screenshot of your dinner reservations in case something gets cancelled on you. We loved the restaurants and the food was fantastic. Thali we had an issue because our reservation got cancelled at some point during the day and we didn't realize. We used Google translate to help explain the issue and eventually they were able to find a table for us outside. Thankfully they did because the food and view were incredible. Bella Italia had great food but the service was very slow to start. The Greek we ended up leaving due to slow service. We were there for just over 90 minutes and had only received the appetizer and soup. Tables that were seated after us received their main courses while we waited. This was our latest seating for dinner so by the time 9pm came around our daughter was falling asleep so we chose to leave. I'm disappointed because what we had was great but it just took too long for the rest to come out. Bars: For the most part service was great. We found this was the area we had the most issues with language barriers but we were able to make it work. A little patience and google translate go a long way! Excursions: We did 2 excursions which were booked in advance through El Buey tours. My daughter wanted to swim with dolphins so we did the dolphin experience. While it is expensive, paying the extra for the royal swim was worth every penny. If you want photos though be prepared to pay a hefty price. We also went deep sea fishing. This excursion was a lot of fun. We caught a ton of fish, they let our daughter reel in one while we were out at sea and then 1 just before we got off the boat. If you are doing a trip like that make sure to take gravol. I packed a bottle in our bag and was handing it out to the other people as they all got sick. Overall: We have had an amazing trip and we are sad to be leaving. While there were a couple of hiccups, there was nothing bad enough that would stop us from returning again. The staff are great and do their best to make sure you have a great time. The beach party is fabulous. We never had an issue finding chairs on the beach with shade (went down around 8:30 each day). The kids waterpark is a must if you have kids. Seaweed varied (some days lots and some days none) but it's expected when you're swimming in the ocean. …

We travelled to Bahia Principe Esmerelda the last week of March 2023. We had downloaded the app and made all the dinner reservations before arrival, never had a problem, it worked well and all the A La Carte restaurants were fantastic. Great food, good service and wonderful selection. Since the Esmerelda was a Luxury listed hotel, we had access to all other Bahia Principe sites so we picked restaurants all over so we could experience the differences between the hotels (and see the well kept grounds). For one dinner we stayed at the buffet and were really surprised on how nice it was, large selection and the deserts were amazing. The pools and beach were well kept and clean. The beach can get a little crowded but it just gave us a chance to talk to different people from different parts of the world. We were at the beach in the morning until 3pm then moved to the pool until 5pm (whisky sours at the swim up bar with friends we met became a highlight of the day)! The rooms were fine, cleaned every day and fridge was restocked, what else could we ask for. We knew they were starting renovations in April so we expected dated décor but we had no complaints. Large rooms with all the necessary components! Key cards deactivated twice during our week but we went to the lobby and had them back and working in 10 minutes, I would not consider this to be a problem. Little things like this happen, but the staff fixed it and we moved on with our day... we had a drink and all was good. The staff were amazing, learned a few words in Spanish and they enjoy us making the effort... we are in their country after all. We found everyone tried to help and with a little effort and some hand gestures, everything went well. From the waiters/waitresses, pool staff and lobby managers, we had great service. We smiled, laughed and had an amazing week of relaxation, good food met some nice people and a few drinks by the beach. Cant wait to return to Bahia Principe and see the renovations for the Esmerelda! Thank you to everyone there.…

WE HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN A HOTEL THAT IS SOLD LUXURY BUT IS NOT. Since the day we left the hotel, we are trying to contact and agree on the bad experience we had and the hotel is not honest in trying to solve it. 1) one of the dinners that you need to reserve, we could not enter the restaurant due to their own mistake. 2) We found a cockroach in the buffet restaurant, I took a photo, passed to them and they did not give the necessary importance. 3) There were no supplies at the pool bar, simple things like a piña colada they couldn't provide us. 4) the room, BE CAREFUL because the door does not close well and opens easily 5) almost all of the staff treat you dry, often rude 6) the worst of all was the discrimination we suffered and so far the hotel is not honest with us due to the number of errors, find a solution. TUVIMOS LA PEOR EXPERIENCIA EN UN HOTEL QUE SE VENDE DE LUJO PERO NO ES. desde el dia que salimos del hotel, estamos intentando contato y acuerdo por la mala experiencia que tuvimos y el hotel no es honesto en intentar solucionar. 1) una de las cenas que necesitas reserva, no pudimos entrar al restaurante por um error de ellos mismo. 2 ) encontramos cucaracha en el restaurante del buffet , tome foto , pase a ellos y ellos no brindaron la importancia necesaria . 3) No habia insumos en el bar de la piscina , cosas simples como una piña colada no podian brindarmos. 4) la habitacion , CUIDADO porque la puerta no cierran bien y se abre con facilidad 5 ) el personal en casi su totalidad te tratan secos, muchas veces groceros 6 ) el peor de todo fue la discriminacion que sufrimos y hasta el momento el hotel no es honesto con nosotros por la cantidad de errores , encontrar una solucion. …

I don't feel as though this resort is represented accurately online and it is certainly not a 5 star luxury resort. The food was mediocre at best. The rooms were very dated and run down. When we would ask a question it felt ike we were sent from one person to the next and then the next with no resolution. Personally I won't return to this resort or honestly may not try the dominican again. Other Caribbean destinations have far exceeded by expectations and this place did not.

The only 5 Star for this hotel is for every member of staff. Every single one of them was great. And would go above and beyond to help you. By far the hotels saving grace. Food good and plentiful in the buffet. But expect to queue for omelette of fried eggs in the morning, and burgers at lunch. Plus the queue is in front of the cakes and pastries; hotel needs to plan layout better. Facilities limited in the hotel. It's pool or beach, or sit in the reception. The reception provided drinks and pastries all day, which was awesome. Beach was rammed in. Too many beds in one area. Not everyone able to get shade during the day. From first light people are on the beach putting towels down. Hotel needs to bring in a policy of the staff able to remove towels if the bed is not used for an hour. The pool was the same, equally a lack of shade. Every usable sun bed was taken before 8am. And people not turning up to use them till 11am or later. WiFi was dire or non-existent in most areas. Meal booking options. This is a stupid one. On the website they advise booking themed nights and gourmet restaurants before you arrive, but to book them you need a room number, which you don't get until you arrive. So when you arrive there is a touch screen in the reception to use, but guess what... you'll find all the places already booked. Gourmet restaurant dress rules state long trousers but they don't enforce it as I found out when I pitched up in my long trousers. Then in the gourmet restaurants they tell you to scan the QR code to access the menu... But then there is no WiFi so you can't. Sort the dress code and the WiFi please. Advertised as a 5 Star hotel... not really. Very tired. More likely 3 Star at best. Lots of things broken or don't work. If it was 5 Star they'd be providing better room facilities and toiletries. Extreme lack of electric sockets in the room. Our first room had one socket we could access and use. Second room had two. Razor/Toothbrush charger socket in bathroom didn't work. Rooms are not 5 Star clean or cleaned. The linen on the bed doesn't fit. There is a coffee machine that you can use to boil water, but they don't give you filter paper only instant coffee. So it'd make more sense to have a kettle. Especially as we couldn't get a pot of boiled water without it having some dubious black bits in it. The tv reception and picture was awful, our remote didn't work. The shower had a broken pipe and sprayed water into the light fitting. In both rooms the aircon was very noisy. No lifts anywhere. If you are on the 2nd floor it's stairs for you. If you have a buggy or disabled make sure you ask for a ground floor. …

Amazing resort Went with another family. Multiple restaurants Loved the Italian restaurant. All the restaurants were amazing and must visit. We did get to eat fresh mangos every day for breakfast. Staff were kind. Property was clean Room service was amazing. The sea had lot of seaweed as we went during August. The cleaning of seaweed was not done every day and it piled up. Did not like that. Will visit every year.

First thing I want to mention is this is a pretty nice hotel. There is definitely room for improvement but overall it’s a nice hotel. I’ll start with the pros. Both of the pools are extremely nice and well taken care of. The entertainment staff are absolutely amazing. They were always in a great mood and were trying to make your experience better. The lobby and lounge were nice and also was taken care of. The bartender’s were very nice especially Wendy. If you like pineapple pina colada’s go and see Yefri because he makes the best ones for $5 USD or charged to your room. The room service and staff were great. Highly recommend the nachos and pizza. If you are staying for a while, you will get tired of the buffet food really quick so I recommend booking a reservation at the actual restaurants because the food and staff are very good. Second, The cons. The keycards are very annoying. We had to walk down to the lobby everyday, if not multiple times a day. The staff said that we put it near our phones and wiped the key, even though they were far away from them from the day they informed us. Definitely not all of the staff but some of the staff could be pretty rude. I personally found some staff at the buffet (Los Geranios Restaurante) were probably the most rude out of all. I found if you did not speak Spanish they didn’t speak to you at all or they looked at you like you told them the worst news of their life. That’s not for all the staff at the restaurant but the majority. The room could definitely be in better shape but it was decent. The Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda was a nice resort but don’t think it’s a 5 Star. If they fix the keycards and if the staff is improved it would definitely would’ve been amazing. Book it thought because we had a great time regardless.…

Super bad experience every single steps We were 2 families in 2 rooms. March April 2023 Check in and check out,reception was ok . But rest was horrible service. Food is garbage only 2 places you can eat without reservation. Wait water, tea, coffee 10 15 minutes, people doesn’t speak English at all . There is no even normal butter, one day they gave us margarine in Bella Italia . Trust me no even bananas. If you normal food, you definitely will be hungry. Pools was dirty and smell like poop . Beach is also terrible always dirty seaweed and sales person everywhere they offer non stop some something and keep coming. Rooms also had some issues in bathroom, the shower has only hot water. Customer service zero. Idk how they still survive with this service. Please don’t waste your money and time.…
