My girlfriend and I recently returned from a five day stay in Playa Del Carmen. After reviewing handfuls of testimonials, pictures, etc... We decided that the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda would be a great place to stay for the duration of our vacation. Upon arrival to the resort, our excitement began to fade. The van-ride from the airport included several... more

Our first trip to Mexico...chose Blue Bay after seeing beautiful photos of pool and beach. The pool is very nice and large. Lots of space, some shady areas which are taken very early in the morning. Its great that sunning chairs are in the water. Loved that. (Be aware that there are topless tanners.) No swim up bar. Bar service... more

The resort was beautiful, food was great, and the service was great. But unfortunately we had money stolen from us from our room and then from inside our safe in the room. The first time it happened my husband looked in my wallet and noticed $20 missing and I blew it off thinking we spent it or miss-placed it. So... more

We just returned from our week long stay at BBGE today. The resort is very nicely maintained, with clean, comfortable rooms. We stayed in the Tulum building in room 1139 and it was very nice. The building is close to the beach and main pool area, and about a 7 minute walk to the lobby, main restaurant area, theatre, etc.... more

My 3 girlfriends and I stayed at Blue Bay over the Labor Day holiday and had a fantastic time. I would say that we are all seasoned travelers and have been to Mexico previously and would rate this resort as great, but not fantastic. However, I would definitely recommend the resort for a wonderful and inexpensive getaway. Here's some specifics... more

The bedrooms are very comfortable and spotless, our mini fridge was stocked up regularly, we were never short of water or anything else. The staff are courteous and friendly,... more

Just got back from a 2 week honeymoon to the BBGE. I was worried about scattered bad reviews here but just chalked them all up to picky people. But you know what, after 2 weeks I'd agree with just about every single review here at TA. Likes ------------------ * Pool was big * Great looking buildings * Open air buffet... more
