  Money pit from hell- pay 2000 more and go to an actual 5 star . I paid 5000 for 1 week through airtransat

  **Absolutely Not a 4-Star Resort — Avoid** I stayed **6 nights** and mentally checked out by **day 3**. Calling this place a **4-star resort is misleading at best and dishonest at worst**. There is **nothing classy** about this resort. If you’re looking for **quiet, relaxation, or any sense of refinement**, this is not the place. The crowd is loud, chaotic, and clearly drawn by the **low price point**. If this is what someone can afford, they may think it’s great. If you have standards or value peace, you’ll feel completely out of place. The resort is **tiny, outdated, and unbearably loud**. Entertainment is blasted over a microphone from **early morning until 11 p.m.**, bouncing between the buffet and the beach. There is **no escape from the noise**. If you have **sensory issues**, this place is overwhelming and exhausting. Everything costs extra. I paid more just to be **closer to the beach**. You are **not allowed to take food out of the buffet**, even if you’re sick or unwell. Room service costs extra **even after a room upgrade**. This place exists to **nickel-and-dime you nonstop**. The beach rules are absurd. If you move a **pillow from a lounger**, staff immediately take it back. They literally **patrol the beach like police**. Relaxation is not encouraged here. Drinks are **cheap syrup garbage**. If you want real alcohol, you’ll pay **$4–$15 USD per shot**. The term “all-inclusive” is meaningless. They aggressively push a **timeshare-style scam** called *Circle One*. Around **$45,000**, **$15,000 down**, a **25-year commitment**, and **10% interest**. They don’t even own the resorts — they resell access to unsold properties. Even after paying, you still owe **weekly resort fees, per-person charges, and flights**. Avoid at all costs. Food is **barely average**. À la carte restaurants are difficult to reserve unless you spend extra money. If you’re not constantly paying, **staff attitude changes quickly**. Rooms are **old, musty, and uncomfortable**. The smell was so bad I could barely breathe. Cold tile floors, limited towels, and bizarre electrical outlets that barely work. Wi-Fi **does not work in the room at all**. The TV couldn’t load anything. If you need internet for work, forget it — you’ll be standing outside. The **only redeeming quality** is housekeeping, which was fine. By the third night, the resort feels **claustrophobic, noisy, and hostile**. You’ll start counting the days until you can leave. **Final verdict:** This is a **budget resort pretending to be upscale**, designed to extract as much money as possible while giving as little back as it can. If you value peace, comfort, honesty, or quality — **book somewhere else**.

  Vacaciones

  Entertainment crew is amazing, invested going above and beyond (Ruth, Lisbeth, Michel). Any doubt or problem we had we got it solve at guest services right away. Location is very good with a nice beach area and bars. I would have expected a little bit more of the food variety and rooms.

  Great people and location, outdated facilities

  The workers were great (especially the entertainment team: Ruth, Lisbeth, Michel). The food was ok, and the rooms a bit outdated, but the beach was lovely.

  The perfect resort for dancing and fun times!

  This was our third girls trip to BlueBay and it did not disappoint! This is such a fun little resort with great vibes. The staff are all fabulous. The buffet staff are friendly and attentive. The bartenders were all great, especially Pablo and Santos with their amazing drinks and happy demeanor. Front desk staff are always helpful. And of course there's the entertainment crew - I cannot say enough about this group, they are absolutely amazing. They work hard to keep the fun going and give the resort a very positive atmosphere with their smiles and energy all day and all night. Special shout out to Michael, Ruth & Alfredo - thank you for the fun times and memories. You guys are the best. Keep up those smiles and dance moves! I love the games and activities going all day long, I especially enjoyed the beach walk, kayaking and bike tour. The evening shows are pretty good too. I like the mix between providing outside entertainment and bringing up guests on stage for competitions, kareoke, etc. I thought the disco Friday and Saturday nights was better this year as the DJ played a better mix of music for the crowd that was there dancing. The rock and roll night on the beach was my favourite night and was the perfect way to end our trip! Loved every minute of it. After 3 trips to BlueBay I still highly recommend this resort. If you're looking for a good time and good food, beautiful beach and friendly people, it is a good bang for your buck!
