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.

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.

I have some suggestion which are the following ; there is a need to have some food at the pool area. The restaurant at the beach should allow guests to bring food to where they are seat at beach. Caicu restaurant needs to improve the rodízio service.

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.
