Super underrated, we booked this trip before looking at the reviews...so we didn't really have an option but just to thug it out and see how it goes. Bam, best trip ever. Food was great, staff beyond nice and soo much to do. Beach was as clear as day and much bluer than the beaches beside our resort.

Staff was friendly and available. Know your Spanish. Very limited beach chairs, a la carte too much AC couldn’t stay to eat. Allergies beware at Buffet’s (fish/shelfish) food mixed. Partial ocean view guaranteed given full jungle (closer to most amenities no complaints).Never been happier with how available our room was cleaned (early or late) and fridge was stocked every day. If you like big resorts you’ll enjoy + if you have no food allergies

It all was wonderful. However we did have some septic problems and if you want to get a chair at the beach you better get there at 8. I had both of my credit cards gotten the one day i left the resort. Therefore no credit cards to get home and no one likes to take cash.

Love the staff! Very very helpful. Food was actually pretty good! Other resorts i have been to were not good, so well done! Very clean rooms. Only thing that bothered me was the cold showers, but thats expected in Mexico. I am a Canadian and am a fussy person 😆 seriously though it was cold but it did not make my experience bad, it was a wonderful holiday. We love Blue Bay Esmeralda! Thank you to all staff!!

Since being bought out it’s really gone down hill. Was so amazing two years ago but sadly new management is cutting everything to save money. Food is all catered to the bus loads of locals that they give day passes too that overwhelmed the resort. They give locals priority and pass over tourists. Disappointed and won’t be returning.
