HM Alma de Bayahibe - Adults Only

Loved the salt water pools, food, and drinks. Really enjoyed the sitting areas where they have sand to mimic the beach and lawn chairs with palm tree covers that was not a public beach but part of the resort. They have a shuttle that takes you to the public beach not far away with frequent arrival every 30 minutes. Also the views of the ocean and sunsets, cleanliness, and most importantly the staff especially the entertainment staff. Shout out to Ronny, Yulissa, Bellota, Rajael, and Alex for making it so much fun. Some hotel suggestions would be to have more plug-ins in the hotel bathrooms and making sure the towels are getting replaced in the room if they are put on the floor. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation.

The property was well kept. The staff were wonderful. There was a language barrier initially but I was able to find an app on my phone which helped with translation. It was nice and quiet with pharmacy on premises and close proximity to the beach along with five pools. My wife and I enjoyed our stay, can't wait to go back next year.

Staff were very nice and helpful Food was good The rooms were clean but needed to be updated Overall it was a great place to stay.

Staff is very attentive, the pool and beach area are excellent. The buffet is limited.The roads to get there is visually overwhelming. Piles of garbage abandoned lots, constructions.

I need whom ever is reading this to contact me ASAP, I almost got kidnapped because I was unweare that this place wasn't in Punta Cana but an hour away, Ispent over $100 there AND BACK (a piece over $100 to drive to this place and over $100 to drive back to the airport). This place was small as hell 2 star villa. The rooms were small as hell shower and bathroom TERRIBLE, I felt like I was in a bando (slang for a broken down home). I want my got damn money back I would never again book through fun jet or ******* and NEVER fly Frontier ever the hell again I don't care I'll spend American money to fly better!

Nice hotel. Pools are great. Very quiet. Could use a few more activities. There is a food truck and snack bar which are really good. The Mexican and Italian restaurants were not good, and the buffet is not very good either. The staff don't speak alot of english, which is ok.

Ignore the negative reviews! The resort was bought out in November and they are working hard to renovate and bring it up to date. We had a fabulous time! The staff was very friendly and worked hard to accommodate. The salt water infinity pools were terrific. We enjoyed watching the catamarans and boats come and go from the island. The entertainment was amazing. Raquel, Alexander and all the others were really great and got people involved in dancing! The drinks were really good…Robert was fun! The food truck and snack bar were great! We enjoyed the variety of the buffet…however, the hot food wasn’t always hot. Daniel was an excellent waiter! We visited Dominicus and Bayahibe which were only 20 minutes from the resort. Both are worth the walk.

This spanish owned smaller resort was awesome....clean, staff worked very hard please, and the ocean front location was incredible. The food in the buffet and restaurants was great, at least for me. There was fresh fish almost every meal (which was so good) as well as pork, chicken, beef. There was also an exceptional variety of fresh vegetables that were grilled or baked spanish style. Most importantly, no fried foods were served except at the beach snack bars (fries, wings, burgers). Also, desserts were so yummy but not sweet....dark chocolate, cinnamin and vanilla were featured instead of sugar. The late afternoon entertainment at 530 pm (during sunse t) was amazing....sax, violin players....so talented. The evening entertainment started at 930 pm, a bit late for us, but was really good (Spanish vocalist, MJ dancers). The ocean was also much calmer than in Punta Cana, which made snorkeling possible. Although it is not on a beach, the platform access to the swimming area with clear water was beautiful and could see the ocean bottom at 15 feet. A few things we thought could improve: 1) acces to coffee (no maker in the room and no hot coffee until buffet opened at 730 - the coffee carafe left outside the buffet was a not hot), 2) play more DR music by the active side of the beach ( there was some spanish music on the beach, but also a lot of older north American music) and 3) children were allowed in a supposed adults only resort (kids about 8-10 years in resort on day passes). Overall, this is a nice resort that more laid back couples would truly enjoy, us included.

After reading a lot of reviews before our holiday I was not sure about this hotel. But after first few days we absolutely didn't understand the bad comments from some people. Especially about food. We are both chefs and are quite picky about what we eat. The buffet had really a lot of choices of different dishes. Plus at every breakfast lunch and dinner chefs were doing specials in front of us. So really everyone is able to choose their favourites. Food was maybe not the hottest but in a buffet noone can be too suprised. It was just delicious. And amazing young waiter Juan was always making sure we have something to drink. Plus they have another 2 restaurants near pool when u need to book in advance. One Italian and one Mexican. You don't pay anything extra here. There is also sushi restaurant but every Thursday (I think) is sushi served for free alsa in a buffet. If u get hungry during the day, there's always some salad at the snack bar or a food truck when u can get burgers, nachos, wings and other things. All staff from all depar**ents were very kind and friendly and we never saw anyone annoyed or not smiling. So when you're there, tip them, they really deserve it. When we had an issue in a room with lots of mosquitos, reception send someone to spray the room and everything was OK again. Also brilliant transport every 30 minutes to the beach which is absolutely amazing. After 2 days we started walking there and it takes only about 10-15 minutes so it makes it up for no beach at the hotel. We can highly recommend excursions from hotel. (Guy sitting next reception) La hacienda is absolutely amazing and you have 7 experiences for the price of 1. We really enjoyed. And if u will desire to try diving, try with guys who are next the main pool. SeaKlub. Vincenzo is amazing instructor and really nice guy, patient to explain everything and much more just to make you feel good about it. Itwas our first diving and we absolutely enjoyed. We even booked again for next day. Evening entertainment also brilliant, especially acrobats, fire show and Michael Jackson shows are the best. Beautiful snorkeling at the hotel. Really good spot. We saw sea turtle, lots of ray fish and hundrets of other fish. We were snorkeling almost every afternoon after coming back from beach. The rooms were not the most luxurious one but we booked simple double room. We got a room with great view to the gardens. The shower sealing was probably a bit used as the water was coming out of it a bit while showering but we didn't see that as a big issue. We always spent time in the room just when we went to sleep so didn't need anything extra. Housekeeping coming to clean every day if u don't put the sign on your door. I could just keep going as everything was the way what we hoped for. Even better I'm rating this hotel 10 and if we don't move to DR until next year we will definitely come again. Thank you so much for amazing holidays.
