The staff at Blue Bay Grande Esmerelda were amazing and very helpful! The rooms were clean. There were a few things that need maintenance in the rooms. The beach was disappointing. Not enough loungers and many needed to be replaced with working ones. The grounds were kept very nice.

The staff was great. Friendly and helpful. The landscaping was nice and well kept. The rooms were awful. We asked to be moved due to excessive noise all night at the beach. Our new room had a leak in the bathroom ceiling and the room smelled Musty. The sliding door was nearly impossible to open. The food was okay. We liked the Italian restaurant. The beach chairs were hard to get. We had to save a chair by 6:30 or lay in the sand. Not a great beach either.

Blue Bay is very nice. Large resort but trolley service if you don’t want to walk. Buffet restaurant have quite good food options. They had lovely vendor markets on Tuesdays right in walk paths. Fun music by pools. Lots of towels! Really only negative e was the beach. Sadly too much seaweed to even swim. We walked to other resort beach about 2 minutes where water was so much better.
