Started out over an hour late for check-in. Two days in a row housekeeping came in and took the tips we left and did nothing, didn’t even exchange our towels. We had to ask for housekeeping on the 3rd day. Still didn’t give us wash cloths. Didn’t restock our mini fridge unless we asked. The bathrooms have no privacy, hope there are no secrets in your relationship but there are a few still in mine. They let very pushy vendors in that accosted you on the way to dinner 2 of the nights we were there. Very aggressive. We were there with a large group for a wedding and we had to give all of our group info to the report for them to never acknowledge it. It was a very mediocre experience at best. I would try a different chain and try DR again but this being a Hyatt resort had my expectations higher than they were able to deliver unfortunately.

Beautiful location with extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Many issues: lots of doors in the pool area don't close or lock properly, ordered room service that didn't arrive twice, housekeeping staff did not acknowledge the "no doorbell/do not disturb" lights (or use the doorbell at all). The buffet breakfast and lunch were good but the restaurants were hit or miss. The app did not correctly reflect which restaurants were open. The resort is definitely still getting its footing.

We enjoyed the ocean. I’ve had room problems. Willing leaking from above bathroom and 3 of our 10 days stay were in bad conditions. Food not as expected. The only place you can eat as soon as you go was the buffet. At restaurant we had 2 hours waiting and received food already cold. Best place to eat was at restaurants at preferred club location for both Secrets and Dreams resorts. Stuff has no experience but some of them are really trying hard. Really onest , the resorts ( secrets and dreams- at Playa Esmeralda) don’t deserve the price we’ve paid.

The beach is incredible, one of the nicest in the Dominican Republic. The pools, rooms, food, drinks and coffee house were very good. Our butler also was a gem and answered all our questions, made dinning reservations and even walked us to different areas of the resort. My wife and i enjoyed our stay very much.
