The staff are very friendly, they do a great job in keeping the property grounds well kept and clean. The rooms are typically fine just have a few minor repairs they could make(like cracked tiles, and some outdated fixtures). I didnt like how crowded the dining area was all the time. They may need to open a second one during busy season or when they are fully booked. (They have the space the facilities to do that), Lining up for your meal can take 20 to 30 minutes, and you can never find a table, especially if you have more than 2 people in your group. Overall our stay was very gpod and would go back again. This was our second visit there.

The property had convince of walking but the staff kept mopping the marble/ceramic floors - which made it very slippery. The food was horrible, many different answers for 1 question, I bought a necklace one day for 1 price and the next day for a different price. Rooms were old and smelled of mold. I guess its true, you get what you pay for!

I did not like it. At check in I was given the rooms in separate houses when I have children. When I requested to be together in the same little house one of the Clerk told me he didnt care. The other told me what was they supposed to do to take the people out of their room. All i asked was to be together since my booking was with my children. One of the bed was broken. No soap was given to us. The food was salty and I found hair in my food twice. The only thing I liked was the beer. Other that I will never go back to this place again.

This property is absolutely terrible and old. Ants all in bathroom, ac not working, food was absolutely disgusting and staff are incredibly rude. Also the pics listed on Expedia are not the actual pics. They have a sister property next to it that is a really nice resort and they use those pics to list on Playabachata resort page which is catfishing and not as it seems. Please be wary I highly do not recommend. As someone who’s traveled a lot and stayed at many resorts especially in Dominican Republic I can confidently and whole heartedly say that staying at Playabachata was the absolute worst resort I’ve ever stayed at. It’s both a shame and disgrace to have that “resort” in the beautiful country of DR and beautiful town of puerto plata which is the birth place of tourism in the Caribbean.
