Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel's Favourite
We are currently in the last couple days of a vacation and have enjoyed the resort greatly. The beach has a good swimming area with a sandy bottom. There is some sea grass, but that should be expected at this time of year. If you walk north west about 300 metres, there’s a very nice snorkeling spot in front of the Gran Ventana resort. The food is very fresh (especially the fruit) with mostly traditional Dominican options. If you feel you need to have more traditional North American options, there is a pasta bar and usually pizza available. The pools are clean and uncrowded. The rooms are a little dated, but spacious. If you are looking for top shelf booze, you will have to pay, but if you’re not picky, the local rum and beer options are fine. The best part of the resort is the people. The staff are amazingly and genuinely warm people. If you are looking for a quiet getaway I would recommend this place. If you’re looking for a high end, highly refined experience, you may want to look for more expensive option. When it comes down to value for money, it will be difficult to beat Blue Bay.

Hi Everyone! I am just on my last day here at Bluebay Villas Doradas in Puerto Plata. Allow me to give you a FULL detailed review of my experience, which has been 4/5 stars. Food — I’ve travelled to POP three times, three different resorts. This is the BEST food I’ve ever had on resort. There were many options, we never went hungry, the a la carte was amazing (ltalian was my favourite) and everything was very tasty. There’s a snack bar on the beach at night that goes till 4pm that has great easy grub, especially if you’re as drunk as I am eveeg nights! Food NEVER missed — and everybody agreed on that! Staff - Absolutely beyond incredible. The people who work here are phenomenal and make this a home away from home. They care SO much, they will follow up with you and remember your face, your orders, they go above and beyond to ensure you stay is incredible. PLEASE tip them all well — they beyond deserve it. They take care of you — please take care of them just as well! They work tirelessly and our tips go a long way in helping these wonderful people have the things they need. Truly exceptional service on every level and department. Shoutout to the leaders here for clearly doing a bang up job! Entertainment — I understand the reviews seem to be low for this team — but I really enjoy this team and all they did to make us have fun! You will always be in great hands with Arielis, Jesus (pictured here with me!) Lisa, Edwin, Alfredo, and Kevin! I will be honest in saying some of the night shows are hit and miss — but a valiant effort to up entertainment value is clear! I’m excited to see where they go — I’m sure this team of 6 has big plans and make sure to show them some love! They are all lovely people! The nighttime disco is also WONDERFUL! You’ll have so much fun, they do a great job DJ-ing Beach - I really enjoyed the beach. Is it the nicest I’ve ever been to? No — but walk the coastline and your can see all the mountain ranges. They are BEAUTIFUL! The beach needs WAYYY more chairs though — it’s really such a measley amount and more can be done to accommodate the guests in this way! Rooms Rooms are outdated, but clean! We had some issues with ours in that it was missing shower glass. The staff offered to change rooms for us, but we didn’t spend enough time in the room to really bother switching! AC works well, though the card keys are a little wonky. They demagnetize really easily so don’t keep ‘em by your phone! Front desk is always happy to reset it for you! Rating this 4 stars due to lack of pool chairs and some room issues. But I believe that you will be well taken care of and have a very awesome stay at Bluebay! 💕🍻

I had a great experience at this resort! Starting with the rooms they did feel a bit outdated but we never spent to long in there so it didn't matter too much how it looked. The bed was comfy, the AC worked great and the water was hot when needed. The food here was very good aswell, a good amount to choose from and it all tastes great especially the pork. The pools and beach were all very nice aswell. A good walk along the coast with some very nice views. The shows at night were a bit mid and some were really not that great. The animation teams for the afternoon with all the games were alot of fun and with the right crowd got eveihaving a great time. Shout to Jesus and Arielis!!!

Hotel - Rooms were very clean and spacious with comfortable beds. The bathrooms were clean as well and everything worked well, especially the AC Food - the food was amazing, lots of Options at the buffet and everything was tasty and hot. Great selections and variety every night Pool and Beach - the only negative is a lack of chairs/day beds. Everything else was awesome and the drinks keep flowing Entertainment - The entertainment was amazing, very engaging. Tons of fun games and great shows after dinner. Big shout out to the entertainment team of the week including Jesus, Arieli, Alfredo, Kevin, Lisa and Edwin. They are beyond friendly and they will definitely remember your name and face!!

We visited this resort from Feb.13-20. It was disappointing in every way possible. The room was like a prison cell. The air conditioning did not work and the ceiling fan shook so hard we were afraid it would fly off and decapitate us in our sleep! The shower design ensured water would run out all over the bathroom floor. You could not get a chair or bed at either the beach or the pool after 630 in the morning. The towel game was in full force. We saw the same people in the exact same locations for the entire week! My husband and I get up very early for work in our daily lives- should not have to be up at 6 every morning to play these games. Not enough chairs for the amount of people present. I complained to management and overheard others complaining as well but nothing was done. Getting a towel was challenging as well,we had to keep ours for the entire week. Service is non existent at this resort. It's a serve yourself place. Coffee is from a machine. You must go to the bar to get your drink, there are no drink servers anywhere. Another note...premium alcohol is not included at the resort. Drink prices start at $7 USD, which we have never experienced at any other resort. There are also charges for a safe and WI-Fi. $3 per day for each. There is free Wi-Fi for one guest in a room, the other must pay. The food is mostly awful. Only decent thing are the omelets that are made to order. Lunch and Dinner options are terrible at the buffet and the Seafood restaurant meal was inedible. I became sick on my second day there and it lasted for 10 days. Had to go to the ER when I got back to Canada. The public washrooms rarely had any soap, so if there was any active illness, it was certainly going to spread without proper handwashing. Carry your own hand sanitizer! I read with interest all the rave reviews about the Entertainment staff. I must say I'm perplexed as we were never acknowledged by anyone from that group. The beach was pretty nice, but very crowded and very little shade. Pools had very little shade as well. Lots of sunburnt people. Smoking is a huge issue as well. Would've been nice to have separate areas for smokers. It was impossible to get away from the smoke even though there were no smoking signs on the day beds. Nothing was enforcedWe have traveled extensively to many all inclusives and this resort was so disappointing, especially for being "Adults only". Needs to be completely renovated in every way. Everything appears grungy. You get what you pay for. Save your money and go somewhere else! We spoke to many people in the airport on the way home and everyone felt the same way.
