I love the service, their staff are wonderful. The cleaning around hallways, stair cases or floors could do better. I think the staff go beyond their job description to satisfy customers and make sure everyone enjoys their stay. I enjoyed the trip very much. Thank you to tall the staff and specially the employees at the buffet’s, they are great employees.

Check in was awful, they checked someone else in under our name. Finally they figured it out, told them we were with VIP Expedia then asked about room upgrade was told it would cost an extra 200. Declined to pay more, our room tv didn’t work, shower flooded the room. Toilet seat fell off.

We had an amazing time at Bahia Principe Esmeralda! The staff was amazing! Alexis at the pool was sooooo great! He worked so hard for everyone at the pool and was so nice and happy all the time! The entertainment people were also amazing. “King Kong” and Yuti were so fun and funny! We had so much fun at the pool every day! Thank you so much Bahia Principe! We will be returning!!

Esmeralda was great, newly renovated rooms. All the restaurants on the Esmeralda property were very good, we were impressed. I wouldn’t recommend branching out to the non-Esmeralda restaurants… we did one time and it was a significant decline in quality. With that said we love Bahia Principe resorts, this is our 3rd. Quality and consistency is always there. The beach here is turquoise and amazing, lots of chairs and huts. I would come back, and I recommend.

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.
