I don't usually leave reviews, but my recent stay at Playa Bachata Resort compelled me to share my experience. Unfortunately, the resort fell short of expectations. The check-in process was chaotic, and the room assignment process seemed disorganized.
The bedrooms were not only dirty but also plagued by mosquitoes and other issues. The bathroom water had a strong sewage smell throughout my three-day stay. The pools were unclean, and the lawn chairs were broken and covered in bird droppings.
The main dining area was infested with roaches of all sizes, which was unappetizing and disturbing. The food lacked variety, was often overcooked, and didn't look appealing. The chefs' handling of food was careless, and their attitude was unfriendly.
It's disappointing to see a staple resort in Puerto Plata in such a state of disrepair. Despite the challenges, the staff were kind, helpful, and resourceful, making the best of a difficult situation. Hopefully, this review will highlight areas for improvement.
