While the grounds and the beach were beautiful, the rooms and the food left much to be desired. The room (double) was very basic: dirty white walls and tile floor; the bathroom was semi-clean, size was ok but the shower head was old and corroded with only a small stream of water and I felt like I needed to wear...

We stayed for a week, the room was basic but had what was needed plus cleaned properly each day and fresh towels provided. The staff were fantastic, very very friendly and helpful, one waiter even gave up his day off bless him, to take us to a nearby town on a local bus as there is truly nothing to do... More

I will start by saying that I requested a ocean view room and it was all I expected! Very calm, romantic view. Nice breeze, cool shade, extremely relaxing! Everything I was hoping for. Food was fresh and healthy. Loved the variety of the buffet! I will definitely be taking a trip back to Playa Esmeralda Beach Hotel! :)

I stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights. The room was adequate, nothing spectacular, but comfortable and clean. I had a room on the ground floor with direct access to the pool, which also gave the pool direct access to my room. Even with this situation, I felt comfortable moving around the resort, safe. The staff was nice and... More

My husband and I stayed here for our last night before taking an early flight home. As others have said, this is a quiet resort, mostly catering to (older) European vacationers who come for a week or two. The facilities are clean and the hotel is on a beautiful clean beach. The food served is adequate with some variety, but... More

I chose this hotel to spend a night with my boyfriend because it is close to the capital (Santo Domingo). We wanted to go to the beach and we hadn't got much time. Then, my boyfriend decided to give me a surprise by organizing a private dinner at the beach and we got engaged in a very romantic sightseeing. The... More

Initial impression was not good. I was told there was a 6% charge for payment with a credit card. Fortunately I had enough pesos with me instead of using credit card. There was no welcome drink or Coca Cola in refrigerator on first day. I had to plug refrigerator in myself. Air conditioner could not be regulated so it was... More

We stayed at this resort for 12 days (we were a group of 8) and in my opinion it is a gem. The service in the buffet, housekeeping and front desk was prompt and always professional. All needs were met in a timely fashion and everyone was more than happy to accomodate our requests for extra towels etc. The food... More
