We picked this hotel mainly because of a special going on. Glad we didn't pay full price. The hotel claims to be 5 star and many web sites describe it as 4 star but I don't believe it is either. They tried to give us a room with two beds instead of a king and a view of a mangrove... more

The Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda was one of the best resorts that we have ever stayed at. They have friendly staff, fantastic nightly shows, and is in a beautiful location. Mind you there are the buildings that are together that allow you to spend time at one section of the resort and then the other builders are at the other... more

We booked our 6day/5night stay through www.BestDay.com - a large travel agency based in Mexico. While we had some reservations about BestDay - we were very happy with Best Day's organization and we were satisfied with the BBGE. We stayed from 11/8/08-11/13/08. We did get a killer deal and I'm not sure how much of the package $ went to... more

We (40ish couple) just returned from a week (Nov 7-14) at Blue Bay. This is my 4th all inclusive trip and BF's first. I always enjoy obsessively checking the reviews of places I've booked on tripadvisor for weeks before we go and we generally agree with the majority of the "good value/decent food/overall nice place" reviews for Blue Bay. I... more

My husband and I stayed @ Blue Bay Esmeralda from 11/8-11/15/08. FANTASTIC vacation!!! Rooms, beach, pool, food, shows were all well above average. We were a bit concerned about this place, considering we got a fantastic package price; but, for the price, we definitely stole our vacation. Our room was in Bldg. 6 (in the back), so it was a... more

We just got back from a 7 day stay at Blue Bay. Nov 7 to 14th 2008. Blue Bay is an amazing resort! We were worried after I started reading some of the negative comments but please don't worry, it is awesome! The resort is beautiful, no mosquitoes for us even though I bought three bottles, never even took them... more

This was our first trip of this kind, and we liked it so much, we'll probably go back. I will speak to various points that people have raised in previous reviews, and add a few of my own. The resort is rather spread out and though they have golf carts to carry guests to various destinations on the property, the... more

We visited Blue Bay in February 2008. We plannned a family vacation to celebrate my husband's 60th Birthday. We are a family of 10 which included four children ages 2, 4,5,9. We travelled from Nova Scotia on a night flight so when we arrived at the Resort we checked in and were quickly taken to our rooms. As it was... more

We just got back from Blue Bay after spending a week there with my wife and 2 year old son. This was our 5th trip to an all inclusive resort. The hotel is fine. Not superb but quite nice overall. Good value and excellent service. We were a little worried about the beach after reading the reviews. Let me try... more
