Compared to other resorts, it is a quiet environment which I loved, however my husband prefers more of the party scene.

The Alma de Bayahíbe is a truly beautiful facility with five great pools, lots of poolside lounging, excellent restaurants, inventive drinks, and most importantly, a wonderful and caring staff! Definitely recommend this place for quality, service, comfort, value, and some of the best ever sunsets!

Just want people to know that This place is not a resort, from my experience, it does not have even a hotel quality. The rooms are very much rundown, Not clean neither. Staffs are not professional. Food is just ok. The pools are nice with nice ocean views. 45 minutes drive from Punta Cana international airport.

We were greeted by some of the most kind, caring, and cordial people you might ever find. The staff is superb! This is not a fancy resort. This is a highly serviceable experience without many frills. The food is steady but it is largely buffet style. My granddaughters and I found the food quality to be highly satisfying and appetizing. The evening waterfront entertainment is excellent. The sunsets are simply unbelievable! This is a resort of excellent value. We thoroughly enjoyed our seven days. In every way!

Booked an ocean view, which we didnt get. Room floor tiles broken, hand prints from previous guest on bathroom walls, other rooms could see directly into the bathroom/shower. It was like pulling teeth to get towels, started with 2 face, 2 hand, 2 body then day by our 2nd/3rd day only had body towels left by the cleaning. Requested new face towels and never got them, only a rude employee that would bring body towels, when asked her directly for face towel, said no have and walked away. Buffet is ok, i do not recommend eating any of the seafood they cook though, as nothing seems to be cleaned. Staff in the buffet and bar though very friendly.

There is no transportation to or from the hospital, except for private taxis. The food was terrible. It was too late to cancel, we just tried to make the most of it.

Staff needs to be trained who to serve customers 4 days over 7 no Tv..we had to pay for safe for restaurants, for any upgrade.. No beach..bar coses at 11h00..sometimes no water...and i can keep going...

The location and the property was beautiful, but we were underwhelmed by the way it was managed. With proper attention, this could be a truly spectacular experience. Our chief complaint was the food: The resort offered a huge buffet, and three ala carte restaurants, as well as a food truck. For the buffet: There's no way to put this gently - - The food was just bad. The fish was old and really smelly, the calamari was rubbery, and the desserts, weren't sweet or flavorful. The only exceptions were the "local" selections like stewed beef and chicken over rice, the fried yucca and the bananas/plantains. The rest was just bad executions of American or European dishes. Chef should stick to and expand on the local offerings. I would have paid MORE for better quality. Skip the Italian ala carte - - we detected no Italian seasonings in the lasagna, the Alfredo, or the pizza, and the canole (normally one of our favorites) was so salty that it just wast edible. Tashimi, their Japanese restaurant wasn't any better - - the Filet and strip steaks we ordered turned out to be just round steak. Best choice: stick with the breakfast-only, and go offsite for dinner. Would we do it again ? Frankly, no - - mostly because we don't really like the "rich people behind walls" mentality of an all-inclusive. We thought we'd give it a try again, and hoped this place might change our mind. Instead, they only reinforced our previous choices to go our own way and take our chances.

The check-in process was very slow. We arrived at 0930am and they would not allow us to check in early. After waiting until about 3:30pm, we finally got our room. When we entered, it was not the garden view room we paid for. We had to wait another 30 minutes to get a garden view room. Once we got in, the shower head was broken and there was no hot water, whatsoever. We asked several times and they said they would send someone to fix it, but it remained cold for the next few days. On day 3 they finally switched us to another room with hot water, but the toilet would not flush. Overall, the resort did not even have 1 jacuzzi, the food at the buffet tasted terrible, and the bars serve very cheap liquor. Also, if you’re flying into Santo Domingo International Airport, be prepared for a 1.5 hour drive to the resort with a very expensive taxi service fee. Uber does run in the area, but after reserving your Uber, the driver will message you and try to double the price set by Uber. Overall, not a country we would ever want to return to. You get the feeling that you are being taken advantage of every step of the way.

The pool

Was a great experience. The staff were very courteous and helpful. There’s always an option for food from the buffet spread. Japanese restaurant was top tier. To the front desk staff - thank you for adding the cherry on top of my trip! Appreciate all your efforts!

The property is really nice and convenient., staff very friendly.

The staff was extra ordinary. I will visit again.
