BE AWARE: CUBAN-AMERICAN FAMILIES AND OTHERS

Felix Osmany B (Hialeah, Florida) on May 10, 2025

As someone who values respectful communication and conflict resolution, I was shocked by the treatment my family and I received at Bahia Principe Esmeralda. We were abruptly forced to leave a jacuzzi due ...to an unplanned event nearby. From the start, the staff’s attitude was hostile, treating us as though we were causing trouble. They even went as far as calling security on us without justification — a humiliating and unnecessary escalation. To make matters worse, a staff member named YULIS made a blatantly offensive comment, saying, “Se nota de dónde vienen, Cubanos, se creen los dueños del hotel.” If that’s not discrimination, then what is? Adding to the discomfort, other guests, including Americans who didn’t understand what was happening due to the language barrier, were also dismissed. We came to this hotel to relax and feel welcomed, not to be judged and humiliated. As a Cuban-American family of 11, we will not be returning to a place that employs individuals who display such open hostility and prejudice. There are many other options where guests are treated with respect and care. Choose wisely

I have never been to a resort where i could not get food for half of a day until now. Turned away from breakfast at 9:30 (breakfast served until 10:30) and told to return at 11. Went back at 11 and told co...me back at 12. Went back at 12 and told no come back at 12:30. I have health issues and require some kind of food regularly throughout the day, but management all just said sorry and pretended not to understand me. If you do not speak Spanish, you are treated very poorly here. Will never return and will maybe never return to Punta Cana. Jamaica and Mexico are much better for luxury, customer service and good food and drinks. Plus all of the small children at the bars and hot tubs and screaming all day and night long. Very bad experience!
