Great Staff

The staff was fantastic! Very friendly and helpful. The AC needs some improvement and the could use some repairs. But over all a very nice stay. They were making repairs all over the resort while we were there, so this review may be improved soon. They are do push to buy an membership but its not as aggressive as some places ive been too.

Sure, here's a revised version: --- The hotel is not bad, but it is not the best either. Many parts are under construction. There are only two buffets, which at night are used as restaurants with reservations. The staff is very good, although they try to sell you programs that, according to them, are no longer "time shares," but in my opinion, it's the same dog with a different collar. They tell you that they will give you a welcome breakfast and that they need 90 minutes of your time, which turns into almost 3 hours. We paid $7.00 USD for a hotel taxi to take us from the lobby to the hotel entrance because the tour bus could not come to pick us up. The room is not bad, but it is not the most beautiful; it is a bit old. There is only one swimming pool, although it is quite large. If you travel like I do with the all-inclusive package expecting to enjoy Coronas 🍻, let me tell you that this is not part of the all-inclusive. The check-in service is a little disorganized, and the heat is horrible. The beach has a lot of seaweed, and I didn't really have time to enjoy it. In conclusion, if you are looking for something economical just to sleep and barely be in the hotel, it is a good option.

After reading comments about this property and it’s staff before our trip, I did lower my expectations already. The property was massive. Staff are incredibly great and helpful and respectful. Some may find them very rude maybe because most of them does not understand nor speak english. Despite this, they still try their best to help us in every way they can. Food, I may say is very sub par, they can do better. The only time we enjoyed our meal was when we had dinner at the Italian restaurant. My daughter had a blast! She was given a second entree when she asked and our server gladly gave her the lamb chops that she asked. They truly made her day ( she was sick and is on bed the entire day). The downside is that we had to make dinner reservations the day before. Our Steak night dinner was such a disappointment. As I’ve said, they can do better. My daughter had the duck, in which we have to pay extra (around 20 usd). Steak and duck are both salty. They asked me to sign the charge slip even before our dessert was served, which by the way took them forever. Maybe they did this because my husband and my MIL left before dessert was served. Avoid breakfast and lunch at the buffet area by the beach, so much flies! Drinks, all are too sweet for my liking. The cocktails are so sweet it can give me diabetes. The only cocktail that I liked was their margarita. Pool closes at 7 pm, too early! Beach area is ok. Beach along the hotel zone is way more better!

The resort was clean, beautiful beaches beautiful pool the food and drinks were great the service was excellent the entertainers were very friendly and very good, overall was a great experience I would recommend the resort to anyone and I will definitely be going there again. The only downside is unfortunately the little coatis (raccoon) in the balcony in the room all day and night we weren’t able to enjoy the view from our balcony because the coatis was taking over our balcony, we understood they are not dangerous but it is somewhat uncomfortable having them in your balcony if you leave the door a little open they will definitely come in your room, they are animals and not dangerous but they should try to come up with a way of trying to keep them out of the balcony. Other than that it is a great resort.

beautiful place but not sanitary found mold, ants, roach, dust, blood, got a rash, drain wasn't going down, brown water, water all over the floor after a shower, bed was broken in half and unpolite staff at lobby area. just a horrible experience at both rooms. When we called maintenance hours later no call back got switched to a different room the next day after calling 3 times and still dint come until an hour, after. the door barely opened or closed kept getting stuck Golf Carts would barely stop. Always coming in the room without permission. made a report and took photos of us. we supposably made too much noise threaten to call the police and accommodated the other customers after what we said about the first room the second one was worse. most of the staff were selective on who they were nice to. Other than that, the staff at the bar and the women were awesome very nice and helpful.

We had a great stay at Blue Bay. The staff were amazing and the property was well maintained. We read a lot of bad reviews but took the gamble and it paid off. If you’re looking for a good affordable, family friendly options that has two pools, plenty of food options, swim-able beach and great helpful staff this is could be the place. We also loved all the different animals we saw in the beautifully maintained grounds and the cenote lagoon just down the beach
