The property had convince of walking but the staff kept mopping the marble/ceramic floors - which made it very slippery. The food was horrible, many different answers for 1 question, I bought a necklace one day for 1 price and the next day for a different price. Rooms were old and smelled of mold. I guess its true, you get what you pay for!

I did not like it. At check in I was given the rooms in separate houses when I have children. When I requested to be together in the same little house one of the Clerk told me he didnt care. The other told me what was they supposed to do to take the people out of their room. All i asked was to be together since my booking was with my children. One of the bed was broken. No soap was given to us. The food was salty and I found hair in my food twice. The only thing I liked was the beer. Other that I will never go back to this place again.

This property is absolutely terrible and old. Ants all in bathroom, ac not working, food was absolutely disgusting and staff are incredibly rude. Also the pics listed on Expedia are not the actual pics. They have a sister property next to it that is a really nice resort and they use those pics to list on Playabachata resort page which is catfishing and not as it seems. Please be wary I highly do not recommend. As someone who’s traveled a lot and stayed at many resorts especially in Dominican Republic I can confidently and whole heartedly say that staying at Playabachata was the absolute worst resort I’ve ever stayed at. It’s both a shame and disgrace to have that “resort” in the beautiful country of DR and beautiful town of puerto plata which is the birth place of tourism in the Caribbean.

The food was the same everyday and it was cold! The electricity would turn off constantly. The beach area was ok until the wind hit and all you had was sand all over and could not even enjoy tanning. It’s an overall old resort. There was one time we came from the beach and into dinner and they didn’t let us in even though we were covered but the next day someone else was dressed the same and they were allowed which was unfair.

Food was great, staff was kind and rooms were clean. Had some free activities like wind surfing and kayaking! Beaches were well maintained and beautiful. Our toilet wouldn’t flush and there was poor water pressure. The room style is also very outdated, some drawers wouldn’t open or their handles would break. You will need to rent an adapter for your charger for 3USD (refundable deposit) since three prong chargers don’t fit in rooms.
