I did not like that i paid more to stay at Esmeralda while others paid to stay at lesser hotels, but were still able to use Esmeralda facilities.

This is the 10th time that I have stayed at a resort in Punta Cana and the second time that I have stayed at the Grand Bahia Resorts..
What I liked about the Esmeralda
Both resorts were beautiful and overall the food and service was excellent. As with all of the resorts that I have stayed at in Punta Cana the beach is the best and the value for the money is second to none...It keeps me coming back for more.
What I disliked about my stay at The Esmeralda is the behavior of One of the staff members (Jose).. I came to Punta Cana with a beautiful young lady and was looking forward to spending 5 days relaxing with her and enjoying her company. This was our second time traveling together. On the second day of my vacation I was in the pool while my friend was lounging in the sun. As she was lying there Jose struck up a conversation with her and started asking whether I was her husband or boyfriend (Very unprofessional of him it was none of his business) When she said neither he asked her for his phone number in case she needed anything. During my entire trip he was texting her trying to get her to come meet him. Finally she started to ignore his text message.
After we got home from our trip I met my friend for dinner and she told me that Jose had called her that day and made some really bad comments about me about things that I allegedly said about her. I am furious. Is this the way a 4.5 star resort treats guests. I spent a lot of money on my vacation and did not deserve that.

This is the second time that I stayed at the Grand Bahia Principe properties... Both times the resorts and the food were excellent and the beach was Gorgeous. I stayed at the El Anbar resort a few years back.. I have been to Punta Cana 10 times and I love the resorts... Best value for the money...

Hotel was next to beach. Beach was beautiful. Bahia Principe has several different resorts in one spot, so you need to read the review for where you want to stay. Esmeralda was next to the ocean and the staff was amazing. Be careful of the peddlers near the ocean, they will let you take pictures with their animals and then ask for money afterwards.

Great AI resort!
Pros:
excellent food, staff were wonderful (Bianca is the queen of poolside waitresses), lots to do, gyms, beaches, very clean grounds & rooms, pillows!
Cons:
A little softer beds would be nice. By the end of the week, my hips ached and felt like they were pushing into the wood holding up the mattress.
Location:
Private transfer took about 25-30 mins from Punta Cana airport. Monkeyland is a MUST do!!
The Bahia Esmeralda is a fantastic choice for a family wanting an AI resort. The food was fantastic. Lots of choices for my family of 4 (Myself, Husband, 16 & 12 yr old boys). The Japanese restaurant at the Esmeralda was my kids favorite, due to the abundance of Sushi. I preferred the Buffet over the Beach restaurant for lunch, but late in the afternoon the Beach restaurant was a good option. Breakfast was the usual for an AI. There were so many pools at the resort, it was hard to pick one. The pool at the Esmeralda, seems to have older people around it. However, the absolute BEST poolside waitress is Bianca! She is at the Esmeralda pool. She will take great care of you, so make sure you go down early & reserve your lounger in her section. Bianca is extremely hard working and always had a smile, or a kiss kiss, for all of her customers. The entire staff are so friendly, but Bianca really stands out as the most friendly, helpful one. The seaweed was REALLY bad while we were there (end of July 2018). The fisherman we went with deep sea fishing, said it was the worst he had ever seen it. The hotel does a good job trying to keep it raked up, but it seemed like a constant, long, hot job. Swimming was kinda gross with seaweed wrapping around you(its a little stinky), until you got past the break, then it eased up a little bit. The beaches themselves were lovely, despite the seaweed.
Our maid was also lovely, but forgot to get her name! The beds are a little firm.

Family vacation 2018
My family and I loved our stay at Bahia Esmeralda. The hotel’s grounds are well maintained and the staff were very nice and accommodating.
We love having Meldy as our Butler. He tended to everything we asked and needed; from making specialty restaurant reservations to having in our room all we asked for in a timely manner and with smile on his face. He truly made our vacation special. We did not have to worry about anything.
The entertainment staff were fantastic.
Meloso, chocolate, caramelo and Alexander did a magnificent job engaging guess on hotel activities and making sure everyone was having fun and entertained.
