Viatges a San Cristobal

Muy bueno todo para poder descansar,relajarse y todo

We stayed at Luxury Bahia Principe in March and had a wonderful experience. The staff were fantastic—friendly, welcoming and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The pool bar staff especially stood out. They were always smiling and happy to make whatever drink you wanted, and even remembered us and our drinks from the day before. Those little things really make you feel welcomed. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the buffet so much that we ate dinner there almost every night instead of making specialty restaurant reservations. There was plenty of variety, everything was well seasoned, and the fish and meat selections were consistently excellent. I honestly don’t remember eating anything I disliked. We tried the Brazilian-style restaurant one night; it was satisfying, but we preferred the buffet. Drinks were fantastic, and the nightly entertainment was another highlight. There was a different theme each night, and the entertainment crew was personable and welcoming. They would recognize you around the resort during the day, stop to say hello and have a conversation. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend this resort. Great food, great drinks and wonderful people. One tip: skip the vacation club presentation. Whatever they call it, I’d rather spend that vacation time at the pool with a cocktail!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emotions Juan Dolio in late August 2026! It was our first time with the Emotions chain. We booked very last minute and were extremely happy with our choice. While much of the DR’s east coast was buried in seaweed from Miches to La Romana, Juan Dolio had beautiful clear water and a seaweed-free beach. As beach people, it was absolutely worth the 1.5-hour drive from the airport. The staff were amazing throughout the resort — from reception to the gardeners, everyone was friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Samir at Ola Lola beach bar and Celeste, our room attendant, who made our stay extra special. The food was very good at the buffet and all à la carte restaurants we tried. After many trips to the DR, this was the first time I had no stomach issues at all, which says a lot about the hygiene standards across the resort. We also loved the air-conditioned coffee shop with its hot and cold coffees and pastries — an absolute pleasure! We upgraded to a sea-view room in Building 1 and loved the VIP area, our terrace and the additional perks. Overall, an unknown, last-minute choice that exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely check Emotions hotels for future vacations. Amazing customer service!

We really liked the location and the service. Although we didn't sleep the first night due to noise in the room coming from the back of the hotel, we were moved to a more comfortable room the next day—we really appreciated that. We recommend this place.
