I hadn’t been to Mexico in about ten years — we’ve been going to Cuba and the Dominican instead — but decided to switch it up for a siblings trip. At the time of booking, the hotel was rated as a 5-star. The Good: Check-in went smoothly. The room was decent, though definitely not what I’d consider 5-star quality. The food was good — Mexican cuisine is usually reliable. I remember it being amazing years ago, but it was still better than Cuba and slightly better than the Dominican. The beach vendors weren’t overly pushy, which was appreciated. The Bad: During my limited time at the beach and pool, I witnessed two arguments over lounge chairs — the classic “towel down at 7:30 a.m., show up at 1 p.m.” situation. For a resort of this size, there’s very little shade and not nearly enough seating. The property is quite spread out, so be prepared to do a fair bit of walking (not necessarily a bad thing). If you enjoy long beach walks, that’s limited as well — the beach either ends or is blocked off. The Ugly: Maybe I’ve been spoiled by Cuba and the Dominican, but this wasn’t an ocean you’d want to swim in — at least not when we were there. The water was murky and full of seaweed, which made it pretty unappealing. Overall, for the price we paid, I expected more. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return.

A great place for a vacation for a week. Yes there were pros and cons but like any place. I wouldn’t rate this a 5 star maybe a 4. Beach was a little murky but the alcohol was great lol. Rooms for me were fantastic, we were in Building two. The food was pretty good a little bit repetitive at times they’re always a lot of options. The entertainment was really good. The shows could’ve been a little bit better. I wish they had a nightclub as it only closed at 1 AM at the black-and-white bar other than that a great vacation.

Our stay at Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda was absolutely fantastic and truly memorable. We would especially like to thank Alex and Yulissa for their exceptional help and professionalism. They organized a beautiful private dinner for us with a private Mariachi concert, which was an incredible experience and showed a very high level of care and attention to guests. The food throughout the hotel was delicious, with a wide variety of options. The themed restaurants are on a top world-class level, offering excellent quality and great atmosphere. The service across the entire hotel was friendly, professional, and always helpful. The hotel offers a very rich evening entertainment and animation program, so there is always something enjoyable to do in the evenings. The rooms are very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Garden-view rooms are a real highlight — they offer beautiful views and the unique opportunity to observe wildlife directly on the hotel grounds. We saw coatis running along the pathways, as well as deer, raccoons, and many other beautiful animals, which made the stay feel very special. Electric golf carts run constantly around the resort, making it easy and convenient to get to restaurants, the beach, and other areas of the hotel. Beautiful hotel, excellent food, and warm, professional service. Highly recommended!

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda was a great resort for us. The pool is huge and can accommodate everyone. The beach is a bit dirty but there is another beach nearby that is really nice. The buffet restaurants in this resort were not so good but the speciality restraints were amazing. There is lots of bars and also games like arcade games and pool tables in the black and white bar. A short walk away there is a really nice lagoon too. The room was spacious but the toilet got clogged once and we also didn’t get our room cleaned one day, but the beds were very comfortable. This resort is really big and golf carts do come by but you need to be slow to walk to get around. Also, the shows were absolutely stunning. Huge effort by the entertainment team. We saw a variety of shows like a magic show, a fire show, and a special Christmas show and parade. The entertainment crew also worked very hard at the pool and always had activities for guests. Overall this was an amazing resort and I would recommend it to other people.

We loved our time at the resort. We signed up for circle one. Francisco was very helpful and explained how circle one works. They upgraded our room too. The private members beach was nice, we didn't have to worry about saving a beach lounger. All the staff was very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend joining circle one.
