My husband and I came here for one week of our two week honeymoon. We loved the fact that it was an all inclusive resort - but if you want to eat at the restaraunts (besides the buffet place) you must make reservations EARLY! There's a person who sits outside yoru building at a desk and they take your reservation... more

The point is your going to read all these reviews and take what you want out of each of them so here we go! I went with 3 of my high-school girl friends and we were cerebrating our 20 yr reunion. We read the reviews and hoped for the best expecting nothing and expecting everything. Here's what I got out... more

I went down for a 4-day trip with a friend for Easter weekend - it was a very impulsive trip, and we managed to get a really great bargain - I think $750 for everything? Anyways, because it was such a short trip, any of the usual all-inclusive snafus could have reduced our relaxation time significantly, and - because I'm... more

After reading some of the reviews I was almost panicked on the way down to the Blue Bay - thinking I have possibly screwed up our yearly vacation with a bad choice of resorts, I couldn't have been more wrong. I really think you need to take the negative reviews with a grain of salt(and tequila) - If you are... more

We recently went to Blue Bay for a seven day stay that turned into a 10 day stay, because Hurricane Ida had other plans for us. The resort was fantastic. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. There are tons of activities, shows, and restaurants to keep you busy and well fed. We enjoyed the nice beach palapas and the pool.... more

My girlfriend and I traveled to BBGE with another couple (Ages 26-28). First off I think some of the bad reviews might be the result of BBGE being advertised as a five-star resort. This may have been one when it first opened but there are clearly some signs of aging everywhere. That being said this is still a very nice... more

This was my first stay at an all-inclusive resort, but that said, I would definitely go back here. After reading many reviews of different hotels and resorts near Cancun, I had some concerns, but to summarize: the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, the rooms were neat, clean, and well air conditioned (it got a bit cold at night!), food... more

Just came back from our first ever Mexican vacation, and we want to go back already. The resort is gorgeously designed in minimalist style, with superbly comfortable rooms and showers! Admittedly, this is off-season, but this is what we wanted - no crowds. The resort crew has active events going on from 10-30 to 5-30 pm (yoga on the beach... more

Just had 10 nights at the Bluebay grand esmeralda and for someone who does not normally do all inclusives I have to say that I was pleasantly suprised, I could not faul the service, the staff were always friendly from the reception to housekeepers, always said hello when walking past and nothing seemed too much trouble, the food was very... more

When we arrived, the front desk told us what we needed to know, then they sent us to the concierge desk. After Pepe was giving us this whole talk, I realized that it was a time share they are trying to sell us. We were tired, sweaty and not interested. Twice he called the room at 8:oo am and woke... more
