Blue Bay Villas Doradas: will absolutely go again

I had the most relaxing trip ever with my sister Wendie and friends...everyone was so friendly and food was amazing, we took a trip by taci to the plaza, people were very help and everything you sent us was so easy to follow Thanks again

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: No bech in this hotel...

I would not recommend it to anyone. Room, food was good. Service was excellent . Pool,to many people, as I indicated not for retired people. We would not go beck there, because wee could not swim in the Ocean.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Fantastic Resort !!!!

Food, resort, accomodations and the service was 5 star / awesome. We will definitely return again next year. We HIGHLY recommend Blue Bay Cancun. Best server was named Eric (steakhouse)......top notch service!!!

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Fantastic!

As this was our third time in the last 4 years we will be going back next year. Beech is great, staff is fantastic, plenty of food to eat with different types for all taste, the entertainment crew is great there is always something going on if you want to join in or you can just relax. Place is clean and staff is always ready to help with anything you may require.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Blue Bay Villas

I spent a week at this resort and the pluses: staff tried to be as helpful as they could be, lovely beach, spacious clean rooms, delicious buffet with lots of variety daily. Other restaurants were also very nice, great staff and food, nice break from buffet. I couldn't book the grill, and never did find out where that restaurant was situated, but the Chinese and seafood restaurants both a treat.(although if the staff is enforcing no shorts for men, it would be a plus to also enforce NO HATS!!) C [... read more]lose proximity to airport a plus. Things that need improvement: Wifi not available anywhere without paying. Other resorts along this area all had free wifi in lobbies and in rooms. In 2019 not acceptable to at least have free wifi in lobby. Periodic times with no hot water in shower, 2 mornings in a row. Phone in room didn't work. I reported it, and 4 days later still not fixed, when I needed it to report a violent, drunk patron banging on the next door, I could not contact front desk to dispatch security to area. Beach chairs had to be reserved by 7am to get 6 together, although sign said not to keep chairs when not on beach, you had to save a few before breakfast, as there were not enough for most mornings on the beach. A 3 star overall.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Great resort

The resort was lovely with the staff being so friendly and helpful. Food was good, facilities were clean, only downside was the seaweed on the beach but they can’t control Mother Nature! Had a lovely stay.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: TRÈS BEL HÔTEL

UN BEL ENDROIT POUR LES JEUNES ET MOINS JEUNES, PLUSIEURS ACTIVITÉS POUR TOUS DANS L'EAU ET HORS DE L'EAU. ÉVIDEMMENT ON NE PROFITE PAS DE LA PLAGE CAR LES ALGUES NE SENTENT PAS MAIS PRENNENT TOUTE LA PLACE. ON A TROUVÉ 4 RESTO SUR 6 EXCELLENTS ( SAUF ASIATIQUE ET ITALIEN ...TRÈS MOYENS ). LES CHAMBRES SONT TRÈS CORRECTES, AIR CLIMATISÉ PEU RÉGLABLE MAIS OK. IL Y A UN MANQUE DE KART POUR SE PROMENER CAR LA PLAGE ET PISCINES SONT LOIN DU LOBBY. LES BUFFETS SONT BIEN DIVERSIFIÉS.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Would not book this hotel

Have been to a lot of hotels in Puerto Plata and reading the reviews on Blue Bay we were quite comfortable in booking this hotel. However we would not return to Blue Bay Villas Doradas. This hotel is worn out completely with having no hot water for four days (no water at all one day), safety deposit box not working, phone not working, bathroom door not opening all the way, tub wouldn't drain, broken tiles everywhere you see all around this resort. This resort is noisy also....especially around t [... read more]he pool and sadly the way the buildings are laid out you can't escape the noise it seems. We did manage to get moved the second day of arrival but only to be put down next to a hotel being built next to the building where we were moved to. If you want peace and quiet this is not the place to go. Now the good things.... the food was very good with friendly staff in the dining buffet. We visited two other specialty restaurants onside and they were good also. Staff on the whole was friendly and they do try.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Horrible resort

Buffet food was under standard. Thankfully the à la carte nights were good. The Asian Fusian was fantastic and the steak house. The rest was not! Don't ever pay for a Superior Platinum package. There is absolutely no difference. You are treated the same for the exception of getting a cheap bottle of rum in your room. Beach was great! Pablo and Santiago were the only ones that understood customer service. They were great!

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Nice Small Resort

This is a lovely resort if you are looking for a small resort with everything very close and easy to walk to. Beach and lobby both very close to all of the rooms. bathrooms and rooms kept clean and stocked. however, the entertainment is not so great at night- so if you enjoy that this is not the resort for you. The food is decent- nothing impressive however the staff are very friendly. Resort is close to a mall with shopping and restaurants- about a 3 minute walk. Good resort if you are  [... read more]looking for a relaxing week.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Good and bad features

The positive with this resort are the rooms are clean and the food is great. The buffet and a la carte restaurants were all very good. Our room had water come up through the bathroom floor drain. The staff responded very quickly to resolve it and any other requests. Wi fi service is good. Golf cart train to transport guests around this large property was efficient and always friendly. All staff were always friendly, service was terrific. The beach is not appealing. The seaweed dominates the  [... read more]beach, the water is muddy due to the natural stirring of sand. Yuck! Good luck finding a lounge chair at the pool or beach unless you park your towel or belongings on it by 9am. This practice is so annoying,especially when unoccupied for hours on end. The evening shows are poor and the images constantly projected on the entire stage backdrop may send you into epileptic seizures if prone. The staff member Florida was most annoying immediately upon our arrival. It quickly became evident she was not really interested in providing us with a welcome refreshment, but was selling time shares (choice one).

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great Value!

We had a great time at Blue Bay. For a small resort, it's well-appointed with amenities. The beach is beautiful, the food was great, and the staff were terrific. It was more of a party resort than I had anticipated, so if you like an afternoon nap make sure you get a room away from the main pool. ;)

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Great Vacation February 2019

I would highly recommend this resort to anyone. The staff were excellent, food was great and the pools and beach were awesome. I have already decided that this is one resort I will be returning to in the future

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Wouldn’t stay again!

The hotel wasn’t great. There was no hot water, the power shut off one day at resort, the food was awful and the beach was full of seaweed. Defiantly was disappointed. Wasn’t easy to get into the a la Carte restaraunts and the buffets were packed. Not a happy customer

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Crappy Resort - False Advertisment

If you like a pool party drinker resort with 20 somethings running around drunk all hours this is your resort. I go for beaches and this one was fill with rotting seaweed with flies. I fell completely ripped off. The beach was filled with a strong odor of rotting fishy seaweed. It made you want to gag. I took pictures to provide proof. They had 1 or 2 workers trying to combat the problem with rakes and wheel barrows but this made no different. You would think for a resort this size and suppos [... read more]edly classy. They would have a machine like the other resorts to clean this stuff up. This forced people into the pools. These were kind of kept by staff. They would just add approximate amounts of chemicals to the pool. My daughter got sick. Was is from the pool or the fact hand sanitizer was not used by guests when entering the dining area? She was sick enough that when we arrived at the airport on our way home she threw up blood. This as parent is a super scary thing to see, especially in a foreign country. BLOOD ..Let that sink in I would never in a million years recommend this place to anyone other then party college kids.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Not worth the price

We travelled to Blue Bay for a week in February. Pros The beach bar staff were great, the VIP section of the beach meant we always had a chair and towels. The buffet staff were friendly and attentive and we could always find something we enjoyed. The staff at the a la cartes were wonderful and made you feel special. Cons The rooms were very dated. The dresser in the closet and table in the room were poorly made and in need of a fresh coat of paint or replacing. The coffee in the lobby  [... read more]was an extra charge as was the room safe. The food at the a la cartes was ok, but there were really no vegetables and no fruit, they were very heavy meals. For the price we paid for platinum all inclusive I was very disappointed. We went for the sand and sun and ocean and those are what made the trip worthwhile.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Beautiful Resort

Loved the fun vibe of this resort. Ages varied from 20z to 80z. Very interactive with games around the pool and the evening shows were hilarious. Appropriate for all age groups.Beautiful walk to the beach every day that was filled with lots of nature. Great staff and really appreciated the top 40 music that was played poolside.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Never use Trip central

I would love to tell you what a wonderful time we both had on the trip, however my son had a medical condition that prevented us from going at all, I spoke to Wendy regarding the matter and unfortunately I wasn’t able to get any kind of compensation for a trip in the future. The only thing I learned is how important it is to have cancellation insurance for the vacation otherwise like myself I spent just under $2500.00 for NOTHING. I feel responsible for not reading the fine print and not purch [... read more]asing some kind of insurance for this particular medical condition. Live and learn. If you had any clue this actually took place I’m sure you would not be sending me a review. Thanks for taking my hard earned money and no I promise I won’t recommend your service to anyone.

Blue Bay Villas Doradas: Wonderful trip. Beautiful resort. Taylor was great! Highly recommended

Absolutely awesome!! Enjoyed every minute. This place has my best recommendations! Great people. Clean, fun and entertaining. Great place for a much needed holiday. You won’t be disappointed by the amenities or the excellent staff.

Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda: Great resort

it was very clean and well maintained. Shuttle service was adequate. the beach was covered in seaweed but did not impact our stay at blue bay. More control over guests which do not respect others noise levels. We were very fortunate to be on the fourth floor and could muffle the sounds of the noise from the parties on the first floor (all 50 of them) The food was very good at the buffet . Shout out to Alberto who was very attentive to our service. Elvis at the quiet pool bar restaurant  [... read more]also provided excellent service. We would definitely stay here again. Also would like to thank O'neil Graham for all his help in booking this and forwarding our requests for a poolside and upper floor with a view. Definitely would go thru trip central in future !!
