I did not stay at the Bachata, I did however stay at the Mambo and it was great. My friend and I did walk the entire complex a few times a day and the staff at all 3 were very nice/helpful. There is only one nightclub on the premisis and it caters primarily to the european tourists - they played very little latin music - however what they did play was fairly new. They staff also assited in directing to us to local night clubs, as we wanted to dance with the locals. There are alot of activities through out the morning and afternoon - while we were there - they included: Water polo, Beach and pool volleyball, merengue and salsa lessons, bingo, and misc activities for the kids as well. There is a nightly show performed by the animation team, it was entertaining. Nothing Vegas style but very entertaining. The food was good, however breakfast in the main dining room is served until 10 am (I think, might be 11am) so if u miss it then you get continental breakfastat the bar. You can have breakfast and lunch at any of the 3 but Dinner is exclusive to your hotel. Be prepared - the Main Dining Hall doesn't have a/c and gets extremely warm. But, its pretty much the same deal for all 3 hotels - The pools range in size Bachata's being the largest and, I think, most elaborate - if you want a longe chair you have to reserve it early - in other words get up at about 9:30 am and take your towels and other things so that no one can take your chairs.
Hope you have fun.
