Booked a deluxe garden view room, all we aw was a bit of grass and trees. Not my idea of a garden. Was supposed to be bathrobes in the room, there weren't any. Called for an 11:30 pickup for us and our luggage, on day of checkout, to take us to the lobby. It never showed up. Had to walk to the lobby. Wouldn't recommend this resort, sorry.

Disappointed and Frustrated – A Stay to Forget... I recently stayed at the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda, and my experience was far from what I expected, especially considering the significant amount of money I spent. Towel Policy Concerns One of the most frustrating issues was their pool towel policy. Guests are charged $30 for a lost towel, and this policy feels more like a money-making scheme than a genuine security measure. Despite being cautious, I was treated with zero empathy by the concierge staff, particularly Edgar. This practice felt exploitative, and I suspect the staff may be complicit in "losing" towels to enforce charges. Deteriorating Facilities The property is in desperate need of attention. Buildings are run-down, elevators don’t work, and some areas have an unbearable stench reminiscent of a septic tank. Restaurant Management Issues A particularly unpleasant incident occurred at the Mexican restaurant, where the manager, Enrique, enforced a baffling and inconsistent dress code. Guests wearing t-shirts, shorts, and strapped sandals were allowed, but I was turned away for single-strap sandals. This not only ruined our evening but felt inconsistently applied, as others with similar attire were allowed entry. Final Thoughts Overall, my stay at Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda was disappointing. Its poor policies, declining facilities, and lack of guest care make it impossible for me to recommend. I hope the hotel addresses these issues.

Grounds are well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful. Some rooms are musty smelling and mouldy. Sliding doors would not lock properly. Buildings and rooms need updating. Food was ok, not great. Most food items were luke warm at best. Pool was fine. Resort needs more deck chairs around pool.

This resort is horrible. The resort stole my room from me and gave it to another guest when their room caught on fire. When I complained about the hotel stealing my room the hotel manager threatened to call the Mexican police on me and send me to jail. I recorded the conversation and told Expedia about how the management treated me; however, Expedia decided to side with the resort and not accept my videos as evidence. Expedia was unable and unwilling to investigate this issue with the partner hotel and sided completely with the hotel instead of protecting their customer. Stay away from this hotel and Expedia.

THIS WAS THE WORSE RESORT I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! the food was horrible, my husband was sick every night we were there. There is no change in the food, the food was exactly the SAME every night. Booking the a la carte is so hard, the app to book it on did not work for us so most nights we had to pay the doorman to let us in. There are raccoons, lemurs and bird all around you when you are eating. The animals will jump up onto the tables. We had no working wifi most of our trip and were forced to turn on our roaming to stay in touch with our families. There was no hot water for us when we showered and from our experience the sheets were barely changed during house keeping. They would just fix up the same sheets for you. Room service was not free either even though you were paying for all inclusive. One of our nights there one of the building went up in flames. When they relocated the people in that building, they relocated them to a room that my brother was paying for and had not checked out yet. When we complained about this we kept getting “sorry there is nothing we can do” and when we finally yelled enough for a manager to come out we were told “we are going to call the police and you can sit in jail” We were treated terribly by the staff. Upon us checking out they hid our stuff in a back room for some time because they up charged our rooms and when we asked for a break down they didn’t have one. Many people had money taken out of their safes like thousands. DO NOT GO HERE
