Vacation + Wedding - Dec 2024
We had our wedding ceremony at Bahia Principe in Punta Cana. Our group of 60 people all stayed at Esmeralda. Everyone in our group had a great experience and were impressed and happy with our choice in resort. The wedding celebration and all the perks that came with it were wonderful. The entertainment team did a great job keeping everyone as engaged and active as they could. The nightly shows were also must see! We were very impressed with the renovated rooms, hallways and the reception. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were clean with good AC and water pressure. Our guests tried the room service and depending in the time of day and how busy the restaurants are, wait times varied from very quick to about 45 mins. Our Guest Experience representative - Manuel Lopez (aka Manny) was absolutely amazing. He is fluent in English, continuously checked in on us, and helped us set up our a la carte dinners (as a group this was not easy). He was even able to squeeze us into last minute a la carte dinners at popular restaurants like Limbo and Yurta. I also recommend getting a massage at the spa and trying the romantic dinner by the beach.

Great 1st visit to Esmeralda
1st time to the Esmeralda and nothing but great things to say! Read some negative reviews that was not our experience. Staff were all wonderful!! Grounds are beautiful the access to all the other hotels and restaurants are excellent food was very good in the Buffett and exceptional presentation in specialty restaurants our favourite bars were the beach bar Jeral and Luisa are lovely!! The Limbo bar is a great atmosphere and very creative drinks.Pool activities were fun and the amount of pools and size of them were excellent. Nice beaches very nice spacious rooms friends of ours had the swim up pool rooms they were pretty nice.Room cleaning each day was wonderful! We will definitely be back and probably try the Ambar next time only because it is adults only and we are 50 and 55 and our kids are grown up. All in all pretty impressed and the staff are very friendly🩷🩷
