TERRIBLE DON’T COME HERE
Thanks for your response Bahia Principe Esmeralda. Once again you have demonstrated clearly your lack of knowledge of the issue. We are still at the resort and nothing has been done, NOTHING, to improve our experience. I also sent an email to Grupo Piniero and am awaiting their response. If you were able to look at our records staying at Bahia Principe Esmeralda, Punta Cana and Fantasia, you will see this was clearly our 10th visit. Obviously front desk staff Darwin sent an email five days ago to confirm this info however email must have gone in trash or is traveling via boat from DR to Spain for verification. Don’t bother as I said in my previous review, to respond. Your response is a non response as you have taken NO ACTION to resolve anything. Unbelievable how BP Esmeralda service has fallen.

Not a 5 star
This is not a 5 star. We had roof leaking onto the buffets. People were sliding and falling. Maintance was terrible. We had many issues with our room door not locking..the AC leaking. Maid not coming The worst food we have had in any of the 11 All inclusives we have been to. The positive was the beach. We would never recommend this resort

Look elsewhere!!
This place should and and can be better its being generalist to say the staff are bad, but over all they don't give a dam, I am here at the moment and expected so much more....a forinstant...in the buffet, you order a drink after getting your meal the person taking the order then goes and continues his conversation with his friends , after having a polite word with a manager it seems nothing changed try another resort, I am sure you will find better !!

Lost Baggage
On my way back the driver did not pick up one of the bags from our transfer. He subsequently left us at the airport and did not care to assist me in retrieving my luggage that was left behind at the resort. All he did was provide me the number to the hotel.

Bahia Principe Esmeralda-Danielito
The resort had just opened two weeks prior to our arrival so things were just picked by up. However, Danielito made it amazing! He went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

Why this scores 41
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bahia Principe Esmeralda- Round Trip Shuttle - Punta Cana Airport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Cana.
How much does Bahia Principe Esmeralda- Round Trip Shuttle - Punta Cana Airport cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Punta Cana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bahia Principe Esmeralda- Round Trip Shuttle - Punta Cana Airport take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Punta Cana is not rushed.
Is Bahia Principe Esmeralda- Round Trip Shuttle - Punta Cana Airport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Punta Cana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bahia Principe Esmeralda- Round Trip Shuttle - Punta Cana Airport?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bahia Principe Esmeralda- Round Trip Shuttle - Punta Cana Airport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bahia Principe Esmeralda- Round Trip Shuttle - Punta Cana Airport?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Punta Cana can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Punta Cana and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bahia Principe Esmeralda- Round Trip Shuttle - Punta Cana Airport start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Punta Cana within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Punta Cana?
+
On Outty we rank every Punta Cana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Punta Cana Zipline - 8 lines and a suspenseful hanging bridge, Punta Cana Buggy or ATV Tour with Macao Beach, Cave and Tastings, Off Road Buggy Adventure. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Punta Cana?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Punta Cana?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
