Outstanding staff and cleanliness
People are friendly and the service is excellent!
Set up for disappointment...
- The fact that our Villa was only 20+ yards from the beach - a la carte options were alright (3-stars) -
- 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.
What a pleasant surprise
Immaculate resort that caters to its customers needs. Excellent food, excellent service, and very friendly staff. All other hotel operators should get a lesson from Bahia as to how to run a hotel. I will definitely recommend it.
Honeymoon
Great customer service
A little too Americanized
I will definitely return
Most of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was not luxurious but extremely pleasant and tasteful as well as quite roomy. The food was great. I booked two restaurants but ended up eating my meals at the buffets which had spectacular selection, presentation and taste. The beach is gorgeous- couldn't get enough!
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.
The Bahia Principe is one of the smaller, more luxurious options in the Bahia Principe resort complex. With an airy, relaxed scene and beautiful surroundings, this seaside locale seems to attract an even mix of families and couples.
There are five separate resorts offered at the Bahia Principle complex. The Luxury Bahia Principe Esmeralda is directly on an area of Arena Gordon Beach, offering a nice stretch of sand and ideal swimming conditions for all ages. Not much can be found outside the resort gates.
On-site at the resort, guests have unlimited access to a range of restaurants and bars, as well as other amenities across the complex. Restaurants include la carte restaurants like Tex Mex, Mediterranean, Italian, Spanish, seafood, and Japanese. Nightlife options include the disco and 24-hour snack bar, where guests can keep the party going after the lobby bar closes. Directly on-site food options include the main buffet with specialty themed nights and the Snack Arrecife.
Guests often choose this beach hotel location for the turquoise waters. Ideal waves for swimming, unlimited use of non-motorized water sports, and beach and lounge chairs are some of the perks. There are two pool areas for kids and adults, as well as a kids’ playground and Bahia Spa.
Esmeralda has 570 cheerful rooms with colonial-style furnishings and modern bathrooms. Unlike most resorts that offer numerous room types, there is only one type at this hotel, the Deluxe Junior Suite. Vacationing families or couples can choose from one king bed or two full beds with canopies and pillow menus. In-room amenities include a terrace/balcony, sofa bed, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and minibars stocked with beer, soda and small liquor bottles.
