We stayed at this resort for 6 days 5 nights. I’ll admit I was a little scared after reading all of the horrible reviews for this place but we went anyway and I’m glad we did! We got to the resort a little after 2pm and got checked in right away. Our rooms were in building 6 so we hopped on a golf cart and they gave us a ride although I’m not sure why everyone complains it’s too much walking. For us it was nothing! Rooms were clean and mini fridge was stocked daily. They did forget towels on day but we simply asked and got new ones immediately! The beach was covered in sea weed for most of our trip but so was the resorts on both sides of ours and it’s nothing they can control. We did see crews out daily working endlessly to rake and try to control it. One day they did have the beach almost clear for about an hour! We didn’t mind as we spent most of our time in the beautiful pools or at the magnificent lagoon that’s a few short minutes down the beach (you have to see it, waters clear as day!) we loved all of the food. Drinks were endless, facility was clean, and staff was very friendly! We are planning on going back next year with the whole family! Thank you blue bay for a great vacation!

Rooms are very old and not updated. Bathroom has current leakage which was noted to personal and no one fixed and cleaned for a week. Sea is full of sea weed and not acceptable AT ALL. We did not come to sit in a pool. Entertainment and transportation were good

Do not stay here. Worst experience. We arrived there on Wednesday night. We checked-in and sent us to our room. When we got to the room, we opened the door and the room was already occupied by people inside. We tried to talk to the staff and they tried to relocate us to another room, but we paid extra for the beach view. They said they couldn’t help us and we went back to reception. We spoke with the same girl that helped us at the concierge desk again. She did not apologize and just said that we could talk to her supervisor, but that was all they had to offer. We talked to the concierge manager and he said the reception manager wasn’t there. We had to accept the room and come back at 7 am to reception. We arrived at the hotel at 9:30 pm and we finally got to a only room at midnight. The room smelled like mold, with mold on the walls. The fan was basically about to fall off the ceiling and the shower drain didn't work. The next morning we woke up early and we were there at 7:00 am. They said the manager wasn’t there and we should wait until 9:00. We were furious. We left our luggage and we went for breakfast. When we came back at 9 am they had a room ready for us that wasn’t beach view. We said we didn’t want it and they have no choice after we lost our day because of them. The manager refused to come talk to us and the staff available tried to help us as much as they could. After us fighting a lot, losing the day, we got free massage and we were able to schedule our diners.
