My family and I recently stayed at Bahia Principe Esmeralda and overall it was a fantastic experience with a few minor things to improve upon. The check-in process was seamless and efficient and I was ple...asantly surprised when my room upgrade request was granted without any hassle. The staff was extremely friendly throughout our stay and a special thanks to Juan who graciously offered a complimentary champagne and fruit plate as a courtesy after the sports bar was unable to locate the soccer game we wanted to watch. This thoughtful gesture was much appreciated. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The resort itself has great entertainment, with a variety of meal options at the many restaurants on the property or at one of many other adjoining and accessible properties. We made reservations in advance for dining selections and everything went smoothly. The food was delicious, and the restaurant staffs were welcoming. There are several bars across the resort offering a diverse selection of beverages. The beach is absolutely beautiful—fantastic for relaxing, swimming or just enjoying the sunshine. However, there was a bit of disorganization when it came to the beach area as guests would drape towels across multiple chairs to reserve spots, which took away from the overall experience. It would be great if the resort would implement and guest would adhere to a no reserve policy. Also, a grill day or a local dining selection at the beach would enhance the enjoyment. Our son enjoyed the daily beach volleyball games where he was able to form friendships with several of the other teenager guests. One thing that stood out, however, was the noisy mornings due to the cleaning staff, especially near where supplies were stored. The sound of individuals speaking and equipment being moved around early in the morning was a bit disruptive. Additionally, the pathway between the ground end suites needs to have some form of deterrent to prevent people from walking through, damaging the surrounding vegetation and imposing on others privacy. Another small issue was the lack of clear information about transfer pick-up times from the hotel since the bus pick-up location is at a different resort. It would be helpful to provide more specific details to avoid confusion. Despite these minor points, the overall experience was enjoyable. Bahia Principe Esmeralda is a smaller property but offers a great stay with excellent food, friendly staff, tranquil room and a beautiful beach. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway and we look forward to visiting again soon.
Excellent stay, will come again!

We stayed at the Bahia Principe Punta Cana last year and the Esmerelda was a big step up. Excellent service, the beach and facilities were clean. Less people than the cheaper hotel next door. Rooms were fa...ntastic. If something wasn't right, the staff took care of it right away. I have been to Punta Cana many times, this was one of the better experiences. Food was better as well. The only thing that still lingers is the non-english speaking staff and the constant barage of sellers from the beach. Just ignore them. The one big negative I have been noticing year after year in every resort is the cost of items. They scam you to mark it up very high for no reason. Bring your own lotions, soap, necessities. Do not buy them from the resorts or you will be paying high US dollar prices.
