The room was covered in mold, on the mattress, painting, light shades, curtains, and walls. We complained, and they openly said that all the rooms are like that. I’ve been to several humid all inclusive spots, none of which had mold. The waits for drinks were insane, over 20 minutes at some times. Even with reservations, we still had to wait 20+ minutes to get into our restaurant. The pool was fantastic, very clean. And the activities were well put together, but that was the only good part.

Super underrated, we booked this trip before looking at the reviews...so we didn't really have an option but just to thug it out and see how it goes. Bam, best trip ever. Food was great, staff beyond nice and soo much to do. Beach was as clear as day and much bluer than the beaches beside our resort.

The staff was very hospitable. The public facilities were neglected as well as the rooms. The restrooms near the pool weren't working. The sliding glass door from the balcony was missing a handle to come in. The handle for the shower faucet fell off. They came and fixed it quickly. We had to ask for hand towels a few times because they didn't leave us any after they cleaned the room. They brought them quickly.

Staff was friendly and available. Know your Spanish. Very limited beach chairs, a la carte too much AC couldn’t stay to eat. Allergies beware at Buffet’s (fish/shelfish) food mixed. Partial ocean view guaranteed given full jungle (closer to most amenities no complaints).Never been happier with how available our room was cleaned (early or late) and fridge was stocked every day. If you like big resorts you’ll enjoy + if you have no food allergies

Love the staff! Very very helpful. Food was actually pretty good! Other resorts i have been to were not good, so well done! Very clean rooms. Only thing that bothered me was the cold showers, but thats expected in Mexico. I am a Canadian and am a fussy person 😆 seriously though it was cold but it did not make my experience bad, it was a wonderful holiday. We love Blue Bay Esmeralda! Thank you to all staff!!
