BlueBay Grand Esmeralda

I had such a great time staying at this resort. The atmosphere is relaxing, the territory is beautiful and well-maintained, and the beach is just a short walk away. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I really enjoyed the variety of food and drinks — everything was fresh and delicious. The staff were polite and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. It was the perfect place to relax and recharge. I’d definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, all-inclusive vacation in Mexico! Alondra, Kaci , valentina , silver y lalo

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the BlueBay Grand Esmeralda for my first time in Mexico, and it was an amazing experience. The resort was exceptionally well-maintained and clean, which immediately made me feel comfortable and relaxed. One of the highlights of my stay was definitely the beach. The views were breathtaking, with decently clear waters and soft, white sand. I spent hours lounging by the sea, soaking up the sun and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. The food at the resort was also fantastic, with a wide variety of options to suit every palate especially the Mexican restaurant. Lastly, the entertainment was very fun, with engaging shows and activities that kept me entertained throughout my stay. Overall, I highly recommend the BlueBay Grand Esmeralda for anyone looking for a clean, beautiful resort with great food, entertainment, and stunning views.

Spending a week here from a cold, wintry city in Canada, with a family of two teenagers, two near 50 yr olds, and an Octogenarian! We are enjoying the sun, and the sprawling property that allows us many strolls in sunshine. There are golf cart rides available for anyone not wanting to walk. The food at the buffet is pretty good, especially if you enjoy fresh salads and fruits. The restaurants offer a change from the buffet, but the food/variety might be better at the buffet. The coffee shop has delicious iced coffee and soft serve ice creams! Plenty of smiling people to serve you, but it feels like a tip is expected so carry a lot of small dollar bills! Drinks are a bit too sweet (aspartame?) and watered down, but if you tip well, you can get the cocktail you want! The beach at the resort is un-swimmable (seaweed, rocks) but there is a lagoon belonging to another property that you can swim in….as long as you walk about 10 mins, along the beach. There are two big swimming pools for the pool kind…not too crowded. There are a LOT of young, beautiful people around (polite youngsters, but the youth can be daunting to the middle aged!), a lot of people speaking beautiful Spanish all around (guests and staff), but everyone understands English. It’s very expensive to travel out of the resort (taxis charge upward of 50-100 American) , and the tours are very expensive (150-200 American dollars). All in all, a great place if you’re looking to stay put in the resort for sunshine, long walks, decent food, and a lot of Spanish!

I recently stayed at BlueBay Grand Esmeralda and had such a memorable experience! The resort itself is beautiful, with lush greenery and a laid-back, tropical vibe, but what really made the trip unforgettable were the amazing people and the energy they brought — especially at the pool! The pool area is the heart of the resort. It's spacious, clean, and always buzzing with music, activities, and good vibes. There's plenty of room whether you want to relax on a lounger with a drink or join in the fun — and trust me, you'll want to join in. A HUGE shoutout to Pamela and one of the entertainment staff (I wish I remembered his name — tall, energetic, always smiling!). They were incredible at getting everyone involved and making sure people were having a great time. Their energy was contagious! They encouraged dancing around the pool every afternoon, leading fun choreography and making everyone feel comfortable and confident — even if you had two left feet. You could tell they genuinely loved what they were doing. Thanks to them, the pool area felt more like a party with friends than just a resort amenity. Whether it was reggaeton or classic party hits, Pamela and her partner turned the pool deck into the place to be. If you're looking for a place with a beautiful setting, great service, and unforgettable poolside entertainment, BlueBay Grand Esmeralda is the one. Can't wait to go back!

We stayed at this resort 2 weeks ago, first time. Myself, husband and 2 girls (14 and 15). I gave 4 stars for our room only because the sink drain had a strange smell. But the water pressure and temp in showers were always perfect. We stayed at building 6. Housekeeping had our rooms super fresh, the rooms were very clean (despite being dated, they keep their property very clean). Fridge was always stocked. The service from every single staff member there was phenomenal. Staff was so kind, attentive, helpful and made us laugh, feel so welcomed and really connected with us. We requested our room be decorated a certain way for our daughters 13th birthday, and it was beautiful! She felt so special. At the steak night restaurant a server made Minnie mouse ears out of their cloth napkins and put them on our girls heads, it was so memorable for us. They laughed so much. I really appreciate the kind gestures they have made to make our stay very enjoyable. The food was fantastic and so many options - even for picky eaters (hot dogs, burgers, fries, salads, fruits, the list goes on). They had many shows, which we all absolutely loved. We were however a little disappointed in the lack of loungers throughout the day by the pools. I would see alot of people leave towels on loungers for 3 to 4 hours (while being absent from the pool area), which could have been left open for others to enjoy. But this issue didn't put a damper on our great stay. Our stay was fantastic nonetheless. We will definitely be back. Thank you all at blue bay grand Esmeralda. We appreciate everything you did to make our stay incredible 😊
