What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Great Dining Experience

I truly enjoyed the variety of dining options at the resort. The French restaurant was my favorite, offering exquisite dishes that satisfied my palate. With a rolling seven-day menu, each meal felt special and unique. I even had the chance to visit the steakhouse twice, and the steaks were so delicious that I'd have dined there every night if I could. Just remember to book a day in advance for these popular spots!

The spa at Bluebay Grand Esmeralda offers a fantastic retreat for those looking to unwind after a day of activities. I indulged in a relaxing massage that rejuvenated my spirit. The serene environment created a peaceful escape from the busy resort and is a must-try for guests wanting some pampering.

Comfortable Rooms

The bedrooms at the resort were quite spacious and kept clean daily. We had a king-size oceanfront room that boasted a beautiful view. Despite being a bit dated, the comfortable bed made for an enjoyable stay, and I appreciated the daily towel art that greeted us each day.

Fun for the Kids

My kids had a blast at the mini disco each night, with activities tailored just for them. The children's amenities also included a kids' club where they could engage in games and entertainment, giving us parents a bit of time to relax. It made our vacation more enjoyable knowing the kids were well-cared for and having fun!
