Attabey beach bar closed early ran out of ingredients. Coming2 airport transportation was late both times arrival and leaving. Will not return.

A big resort with lots of fun things to do. A wonderful beach and we loved the fact that there are a few pools so it wasn't too busy. There isn't enough things for teenagers the water park and kids club are mainly for very young children. Our room wasn't clean when we got it, after reaching out to reception they made sure it will be cleaned. There were other things like bed renovations- ugly renovation finishing in the washroom that just made it feel less of a 5 stars resort.

We loved everything about our stay at Esmeralda this time. The pools and the beach were clean, the food and drinks were of good quality, the room was spacious and cozy. The most remarkable part is the genuine friendliness of the staff, especially Armando at the front desk, Alexis at the wet bar, Awilda at the buffet etc. Thank you all so much for a wonderful vacation

Our recent stay at your resort had both enjoyable moments and areas that need serious improvement. Starting with the positives, we really appreciated the kids club staff—they were energetic, friendly, and constantly engaging the children in fun activities. Our kids had a great time there, especially enjoying the pool and splash sessions, which were definite highlights of the trip. However, we faced significant issues with the cleanliness and hygiene of the room. There were ants, cockroaches (even in the washroom), and lizards, which made the environment very uncomfortable. Our children were frightened and hesitant to even use the washroom, which seriously impacted our experience. The food was average overall. While there were decent options available, the menu was repetitive and lacked variety over the course of our stay. Considering the level of discomfort we experienced due to the hygiene issues, we feel a partial refund would be appropriate. We hope you take this feedback constructively and make the necessary improvements for the comfort and safety of future guests.

The room was very nice (we had a jr. suite). Large four poster bed & balcony overlooking the quieter side of the property. The hotel itself, pool and beach areas were all very pretty and well-maintained. As non-smoking individual, I did not like that nearly all outdoor areas on the property were smoking-friendly.
