The rooms are renovated and well up kept. Majority of the staff are wellcomibg, kind and attentive, especially Manuel (private concierge/butler and Natelyn (front desk staff). The property is very big so if you stay at Esmeralda specifically you can enjoy some amenities at the other properties. À la carte restaurants like the Mongolian and French ones are very tasty and high end for an all inclusive resort. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fa5cd775-9700-482f-8092-42e80d058907-1774803982352.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alwynique Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 29 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Manuel at the front desk was very helpful for our group, especially given we were traveling with two other parties.

The staff is awesome, we can´t name one person who wasn´t nice to us. Kudos to the entertainment team, they will keep you busy the whole day with a bunch of activities. And the girls at the kids club, they are amazing, it shows they just love working with kids. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The beach was very nice. The buffet and the "a la carte" restaurant also good but ask for suggestions since some are better tan others.
