Pros: The staff is second to none. They are receptive to your needs and are very friendly.

Cons: Nothing.

9.7 Excellent

Cons: Reserving pool chairs//beds has turned into everyone dropping towels ~7-8am and often times not coming back until the afternoon (as backup there are plenty of beach cabanas). Restaurant reservation system also a bit frustrating, we often had the last possible time of 9pm even scheduling 2 days in advance (buffet never disappointed and 24hr room service was also good)

2.0 Mediocre

Pros: Other than the beautiful view of the beach and the couples massage at the spa there wasn't really much that we liked about our stay at the royal suites

Cons: This hotel was by far the worst that either of us have EVER gone to. The food was absolutely disgusting other than at the Japanese restaurant and even that was mediocre. Try calling room service and you're lucky if they even answer the phone. We were promised so much and given so little.butler service? Our butler was Andre, he met us the first day we tipped him VERY WELL and we didn't see him for the rest of our stay. The language barrier is a struggle everywhere you go. Do NOT BOOK EXCURSIONS with men on the beach. We were promised a luxury catamaran to Catalina island with an all day BBQ and drinks. What we got, a broken down old fishing boat that was docked 80% of the day for scuba divers. Aside from that the sink leaked, power goes out, door is VERY EASY to break into from the patio, some items had gone missing from our room, and the extremely small casino will tell you they don't want to pay you your full winnings because it's too much. Needless to say we would never come back nor suggest this resort to anyone. In fact our 8 day trip was cut 3 days short due to a huge snow storm back home...thank goodness.

7.7 Good

Cons: The things that we did struggle with was the taste of the food and we also felt like the Resort was catering to the American way of eating instead of giving us the foods of the Dominican Culture. I also will say that when is comes to the rooms they are in need of new furniture you can see the wear and tear on them.

Pros: We like the facilities for little kids. Family friendly, you have to walk (but we do not mind) they have 2 trolleys that pass every 6mnts. the personal is nice, it could be nicer the one in reception but they are ok. They help me to prepare the Happy birthday of my grandmother with music and the cake, that was the extra mile :)

Good 7.1

Pros: The resort is beautiful. The design and the landscape is excellent. I had a great time meeting new people while there. The service is really good, because the staff is wonderful and professional. I liked that there is a train that takes you from place to place. If you're an adult, you will spend most of your time in the Strikers Bar or Casino or one of the pools. The drinks were really really good.

Excellent 9.7

Pros: Upon arrival, the staff was helpful, polite and always willing to help. Our room was very clean and maintained every day. We had a jacuzzi on our balcony with a great view of the beach. Food was good, a little repetitive , but you can always find something that you liked. Overall an amazing stay...

9.0 Excellent

Cons: The personal is nice, it could be nicer the one in the front desk but they are ok. I know that the hotel was full, but every customer is important. Beside the monologues of yes and no (with any additional information) everything was nice.

5.7 Okay

Pros: Great facilities, beautiful setting, lots of fun activities available.

Cons: The food was absolutely terrible, both at the buffets and the a la carte restaurants. Most of the time the food seemed to be extremely dry, as if the food was pre-cooked and were sat under heating lamps for hours. The staff also seemed to be generally miserable, sometimes unhelpful and unfriendly. We were also left without toilet paper for an entire day, after the cleaner neglected to restock the bathroom. A lot of our calls to concierge also went unanswered or were redirected elsewhere to no avail. Also the lack of changing stations in the bathrooms throughout the resort is quite an inconvenience. We are a young couple with a nine month old infant, and having to go back to our room to change the baby is quite a task, as there is a lot of walking from the restaurants back to the rooms in the family section of the resort.

8.2 Excellent

Pros: The Spa was great!!! My husband and I purchased a couples massage and it was awesome.

Cons: It would have been nice to have been able to get food at the pool bars rather than having to go to the main buildings where all of the restaurants, inlcluding the 24 hour snack bar was located. We were a decent walk away from these and it was annoying to have to go so far for just a snack. At times, some of the bar staff was rather snooty too.

10.0 Excellent

Pros:

Cons: If I have only one critic it will be for the casino staff,only place in the resort where for some reason the staff absolutely not friendly,

Pros: everything is nearby . local is new.

Cons: room service is not good . and towels too old. 0ne day they only give our one towels for 4 peoples.

7.1 Good

Pros: ovation

Cons: horrible internet service would not return there because of it a lot of good with no taste

8.0 Excellent

Pros: The pools were amazing! Beautiful and very clean. The beach view was beautiful. Rooms were nice and cleaning service was good. Lots of fun activities for all members of the family.

Cons: Food was very hit or miss. The only thing that was mediocre on this trip.

7.1 Good

Cons: I hated the towel service (you have to bring your own towels to the pool in order to switch them out). There's a huge distance between everything (hence the train). Waiting on the train can be timely, so you may have to walk a lot to get to places. The disco tech has a bad DJ, but we made it fun. I didn't like paying for wifi. The food wasn't all that great. I hated that the only swim up bar was on the side wasn't on the adult only side, so that means you will see kids peeing in the fountain or walking around without diapers, even though they are not supposed to do either. I also didn't like that there's no food service by the pool. The tv didn't work in our room, and we had the repairman come by twice. There are so many mosquitos and flies.

9.7 Excellent

Cons: We were able to use the pool at the Bavaro Beach side but they would not serve us any drinks or let eat at the buffet.

Excellent 10.0

Pros: A great Resort. Extremely clean. Pleasant and friendly staff. Plenty of beach chairs, at past resorts we found it annoying that everyone would get up at 7am and claim every beach and pool chair before breakfast and then not even use them for the entire day, leaving those late risers with no chairs to use ever! this resort had plenty of chairs at the pool and at the beach thankfully! Also, it was nice to have multiple locations for food and dining...although for dinner you had to book ahead for sit down dinner reservations. I would definitely come back!

Excellent 9.7

Pros: A 5 star in most respects. Some of the staff were less than welcoming but, overall, service was very good. Super facilities. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Pros: The beach was great, and the pools were nice.

Cons: The “all inclusive” food was not great. And we had the “Premiere” level which included mini bar (all that was there was juice boxes and soda and 4 mini cans of beer, and also 4 bags of bad chips) and room service (very limited menu and bad quality). Also, there are bars everywhere but no food! You have to go to the buffet for food. No service by the pool or anywhere. Also as part of the package we were supposed to have a $1000 credit which was actually just a %20 discount if you bought anything. Why not just say that? The first night we had towels exchanged and chocolates delivered but after that nothing . The service was very inconsistent. Also, we used BD travel for airport shuttle and they forgot to come pick us up for our airport return. Do not use this company! They required us to come meet with them at 2 pm on our second day there to reconfirm our airport return. Victor called me at 8 am to remind me to come and then he wasn’t there at 2. He was 20 min late. And then he just wanted to sell us activities. And then they did not show up for our airport return....possibly because we didn’t book any activities with them? Overall it was a ok hotel but not luxury and not 4 or 5 Star. Definitely 3 Star.

Cons: - The staff was not that helpful nor welcoming. We understand "island time" but staff did not seem willing to help on anything from booking reservations for the restaurants, to discussing excursions. Only people who wanted to really chat were the ones trying to "sell" you on their private club membership. - Buffet options were horrible (1-star) - We booked 'Esmerelda" when it was Adults-only, specifically because of that reason, however when we arrived we were notified it was family-friendly as of May 2017. No notification was sent prior otherwise we would have rebooked. The previous reviews from travelers is what got us excited to book and stay at the Luxury Bahia Principe - Esmerelda however after a week at the resort, it left a lot to be desired.

Cons: The Staff at the front desk was not very helpful and sometimes, depending on who you spoke to, not very patient. I was a first time guest, not familiar with their protocol but they acted as if i should know what to do and where to go. I would have enjoyed much more "island music" as far as the entertainment. Not that much to do at night in my location, which was Esmeralda. I walked to other areas but did not find much else. either. I would have loved more opportunity to dance to some live music.

9.7 Excellent

Pros: Great customer service

Cons: A little too Americanized

Pros: Absolutely beautiful! The main pool was huge so there was so much space. The beach went on for miles and miles.

Excellent 9.7

Pros: Beautiful resort and grounds. We had a swim out unit that was wonderful so we were right next to the pool. The staff was very helpful. The beds were very comfortable. I liked the beds because they did not have a pillow top. The restaurants were very good and you have lots of choices. We came to relax and that was what we did. One time my husband went to pick up his towel from his chair and take it back and the employee told him that was his job to put the towel in the laundry and my husband was on vacation and to enjoy it. We were very happy with our accommodations. They have activities if you chose to participate. The pool is like a long lagoon and the rooms surround it. We chose to be in the Excellence Club and felt it was worth the money. We were in Building 7 which was close to the restaurants, main lobby and pool so we liked the location.

Excellent 9.4

Pros: Really enjoyed our 12 day stay! Drinks were strong and excellent. Wait and service staff was excellent. Resort will be undergoing a renovation over the summer. We met several couples that had been there many times before. Beach front was amazing and the sand was very soft. Would definitely go again!

Okay 5.4

Pros: We were there to celebrate our anniversary. The room was nicely set up with champagne, fruit, etc. Several food options. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the swim-up bar. Very comfortable "bed-style" lounges on the beach.

Excellent 9.6

Pros: Outpouring friendly staff. Large, clean and comfortable rooms. Variety and quality of food. Check-in and check-out process. Cleanliness of resort particularly the beach and pool areas.

Excellent 10.0

Pros: Great service. Beautiful accommodations and grounds. Beach was long, clean and deep, with plenty of chairs. Pool also had many chairs. Food was very good. We've been to other AI in PC and this is still the best.

Good 7.7

Pros: The place was a higher quality than most of the resorts in Punta Cana but only slightly higher cost. It was clean, food seemed a little better and staff was friendly.

Excellent 9.7

Pros: This is one of the best resorts that I've ever been to. It was gorgeous, clean, and the staff was amazing. We already talked about returning next year.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful! The main pool was huge so there was so much space. The beach went on for miles and miles.

Cons: They need a dehumidifier for some of the rooms.

9.7 Excellent

Cons: The sand on the beach is hard to walk on and your feet sink in. It is very fine sand and not packed down. The entertainment is good but not great but that is not what we came for. You have to reserve your pool chair early in the morning and some people would put towels down and never come the entire day. I think the staff should monitor that.

9.4 Excellent

Cons:

5.4 Okay

Cons: The pool closes ridiculously early (6pm). Although the ones you were able to find were friendly, there was not a lot of staff around. It seems that unless you're in the Excellence Club (which costs more) you don't have anyone to help you with a beach chair or to take orders while you're on the beach. Had to set up our own pool and beach lounges, had to go into a room to get towel myself, etc. The facilities are a little shabby/worn. For example, the jacuzzi tub in our room appears to be pretty old.

9.6 Excellent

Pros: Outpouring friendly staff. Large, clean and comfortable rooms. Variety and quality of food. Check-in and check-out process. Cleanliness of resort particularly the beach and pool areas.

Cons: Lack in variety of nightly main evening entertainment. Lack of on-site beachfront water activities. Constant strong surf.

10.0 Excellent

Cons: Absolutely nothing

7.7 Good

Pros: The place was a higher quality than most of the resorts in Punta Cana but only slightly higher cost. It was clean, food seemed a little better and staff was friendly.

Cons: As far as the all inclusive part, they could have more activities. Also I always hate dressing up in long pants and long sleeve shirt when it's 95° out (we were even told for one restaurant we needed a coat so we skipped it). For casual dining food is very limited. My biggest complaint is the beds flat out hurt. They room was beautiful but I couldnt get a good night sleep because the bed left my back in pain.

9.7 Excellent

Pros: This is one of the best resorts that I've ever been to. It was gorgeous, clean, and the staff was amazing. We already talked about returning next year.

Cons:

Pros: Service was excellent!

Cons: The family environment. The vast complex and how far everything was. The culinary experience.

8.0 Excellent

Pros: Great service and attentive staff. Rooms were spacious and beautiful. Overall, nice place for adults, families with young kids and hosting events.

Cons: Poor food choices for vegetarians. No variety of foods in buffet and limited in room dining with no vegetarian options present. Rooms were never cool enough despite getting fans and keeping it at lowest setting of 65 degrees F. And there was significant discrepancy about alcohol options all over the resort. Top shelf was not readily available or easily "finished" every day. At night, you would be asked to pay cash for drinks in the casino and charged to go to the club on site which is ridiculous.

4.3 Okay

Pros: food was ok. the view in really good.

Cons: the cleanliness of rooms are really poor. at night is very noisy even at the rooms. the room service is always late (after 2 or 3 hour after your request!!). Attention by the staff is really bad. It is not worth the 5000 to 600 per night at all. you can find several hotels all-inclusive in the area with much better service. I think they have sacrifice money by attention as they focus in large number of people. I felt like a code bar , there ins't personalize attention as you expect for that value.

9.4 Excellent

Pros: Spa service was exceptional. Bars have a good selection of drinks, and the bartenders were friendly. The staff in general was very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Bag delivery and delivery service could take a long time.

Pros: This was for our honeymoon and it was extremely relaxing. We enjoyed everything from the room, the food and the location. However the staff really made us feel welcome more than anything. Evelyn was the sweetest lady and helped us with our Spanish which was really cool and made us want to come visit with her everyday. The whole crew was amazing as well. Just to name a few that went the extra mile were Yahaira, Alberto, Black Barbie, and Franchesca. They were excelente!! Also their were a couple guys that did a paddle board yoga session with us and they were hilarious and a lot of fun but unfortunately we forgot to write their names down so now I can't recall. Overall though we would definitely recommend this place it was an awesome experience. Spending the extra money for the exclusive membership is worth it as well because the place is rather large and it's nice having your own butler and desk to help you with booking reservations and excursions. Their was only one restaurant we weren't huge fans which was Sea & See but a lot of others liked it. Just wasn't for us I guess. We loved the food everywhere else though and the drinks were always coming and very delicious as well!

Cons: The lunches had mass produced cafeteria taste to them, filling but not very flavorful. (This was not the case at dinner, the sit down restaurants were amazing.)

6.8 Good

Cons: One of the pools was drained and out of use so the first two days we did not use the pool because the other pool was full which was really annoying. Dinner reservations to specific restaurants could only be made in person so it was an inconvenience to have to go to the front and worry about something that could be easier if you could call from your room. They have an unnecessary policy for beach towels that I have never experienced at another resort. It's like a trick because they know someone is bound to lose their towel card and incur $25. Wifi was spotty and unreliable at times.

Pros: The Reserve and surrounding resort are absolutely beautiful. The room amenities can't be beat: jacuzzi in the room, hot tub on the balcony, double shower, living area, dining area, awesome a/c, free mini-bar. The food was pretty good, but as a vegetarian there were hardly any options. They were very accommodating and would make me veggies, but there was little variety. The staff was awesome and would go out of there way to serve you. The beach was gorgeous and came with ample amounts of beach towels, little catamarans and wave boards to rent for free, comfy chairs, lots of shade, and plenty of booze. All and all it was a beautiful trip and the perfect place to stay while my husband and I were married at the nearby Jellyfish Restaurant.

Excellent 10.0

Pros: Everything. Hard to find anything to complain about. Spa was absolutely delightful. Enjoy the food, especially at Passion. Staff was very friendly and informative.

Pros: Amazing resort, but hands down the The staff definitely made this experience amazing! Super accommodating, eager to go above & beyond. Took my boyfriend for his birthday & he felt like a king. Jose Minaya was helpful the entire trip, he showed us around, was our personal driver & on the last day he even surprised us with a bottle of wine. On my boyfriends actual birthday while we were at dinner, the maids came in & decorated our room with rose petals, balloons, & set up the jacuzzi with bubbles with champagne waiting! Beautiful surprise. Out by the pool, we met Domingo, who was so friendly & escorted us to a personal bed by the water. He brought us drinks & even offered to bring us food. The property itself is beautiful & the experience was great, but hands down the staff went above & beyond! Very grateful

Pros: Friendly staff and a beautiful pool and beach.

Cons: The food was pretty average to mostly bad, I didn't care for it. Housecleaning was very inconsistent on towel replacement. The living room TV broke, they promised to fix it the next day but I never heard from them the rest of the week - oh well. The staff was really pretty friendly overall so that was positive

7.1 Good

Pros: The pool, the beach... beautiful view but definitely not a 5 star hotel

Cons: mean people at the front desk, long lines, the bedrooms smell like humidity, a guy trying to sell us open bar at the night club and ending with a bullshit night club full of kids for 100/800 for couple.

8.0 Excellent

Pros: Aesthetically nice, staff are friendly

Cons: They overbooked, so it was a very disorganized check in

Excellent 10.0

Pros: Where do I start? Well, from the first step that I took at this Resort, we were immediately greeted with a "Welcome Home". We were offered refreshing towels with a mint scent. Reception was fast and friendly, the welcome team "Carlos" gave us a little tour around the Resort while pointing out everything. The hospitality level at this Resort is top notch, everyone you see and encounter will greet you with a humble smile....by the way the resort has this amazing way to answer you on how they feel..EXCELLENT... By the pool and bar area, Ana Luisa, Jeffrey, Ruben and Elias are an amazing team. The entertainment team will make sure that you have an amazing time as well, Big Papi, Tequila, Blacky and Grupi are full of contagious energy. My hat also goes off for my favorite Bartender "Antonio" at the Preferred Lounge. Antonio will costume make any cocktail or drink of your choice with amazing skills and hospitality...the best Michelada and Old Fashioned ( with Rum) at the resort. And if you need an answer to any questions or solutions to anything, fell free to ask Romylenis or Josefina at the Preferred Lounge. Thanks Josefina for helping me and my lady overcome the anguish we had when we miss our flight.

Pros: Clean resort. Buffet restaurants are very good. Staff is very friendly.

Cons: Resort did not pay any attention to bed preference. All 3 couples in our group requested king beds and all three were placed in rooms with 2 separate double beds. Lighting in the rooms is terrible, you cannot see anything in the mirrors. Drinks are watered down (including white wine) and drinks at the pool bar barely have any alcohol in them. Food is terrible anywhere except the buffets. Everyone on our trip experienced stomach issues at some point in the trip.

The towel was full of hair from my brush.... after showering and using the towel that was hung up..... needed a new shower to take off all the hair. I realized then, they just picked up the towel from the floor.
