Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda

“Great Family Vacation at Luxury Esmeralda”

We had a great week at Luxury Esmeralda. The size of the resort is perfect. It's very easy to walk to the 2 buffets or any of the restaurants, pools and the beach. With Esmeralda being part of a larger Bahia Principe complex, we had access to 5 other resorts as well as our own. The tram service was excellent. The trams were running constantly, which is a big difference we noticed from Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica where the were barely running and if they did, it was for Privilege guests. We did not have a problem finding a shaded spot at the beach or by the pool. We preferred the quiet pool over the pool closer to the beach. We have no problem with music playing but when the entertainment crew was there, the music volume was turned up A LOT and it became almost painfully loud. The restaurants were excellent with the Mongolian Restaurant (Yurta) being our favourite. Our least favourite was Naan. The Teppanyaki restaurant could use some work. It was very rushed, and not much of a show like at other resorts. They made us leave and sit with in the main restaurant for our dessert. It was odd and disorganized. We did not have a problem getting reservations and were able to enjoy 5 a la carte restaurants throughout our stay. We enjoyed the buffets but did find it hard to get your drink order. One night my beer came after we had already finished eating and were about to leave. Ah well. Luis at the front reception was friendly and welcoming. Alfredo at the guest services desk in Building 90 was extremely helpful, pleasant and engaging. And Kudos to Denny, the "best driver" at bell services. These 3 made an excellent impression on us and we appreciated them! They were vigilant with making everyone use hand sanitizer when entering the restaurants or buffets, which we appreciated. The resort was clean and there was sanitizer in multiple places. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

The hotel was amazing, we booked for a 5 year anniversary and was not disappointed. The rooms was spotless and the food and drink was so good! The restaurants are worth booking as an experience. (Try booking in advance) The entertainment team was unreal. I believe we will have a lot of the songs in our heads for a long time “Bahia Principe” song in particular! Good fun and games to be had everyday. Special shoutout to; Victor (Pool side bar service): Loved like a brother, always there when you need him! Brings out special drinks and always makes you feel welcome. Carlos (Breakfast and Dinner service): Very friendly, always happy! Loved the chats and he was very quick with the drinks and plates! Joamel (Lobby Bar): His drinks was next level, highlight of our nights. Always happy, loved feedback and overall was AMAZING! 10/10 drinks every time! Thanks again to all staff, we hope you enjoy as much as us!
