Good value for the money
After reading reviews we were unsure of what to actuallt expect but booked anyway. We were pleasantly surprised. The drinks were strong, the food was good, the staff was friendly, no issues with getting rides in electric cars. Beach was clean. We will definitely recommend it if the price is right. We stated in a garden view building 7. Close to the pool. Only negative was the elevator button wouldnt work for down so we had to walk down the steps but could ride the elevator up.

Great Staff
The staff was fantastic! Very friendly and helpful. The AC needs some improvement and the could use some repairs. But over all a very nice stay. They were making repairs all over the resort while we were there, so this review may be improved soon. They are do push to buy an membership but its not as aggressive as some places ive been too.

We had a great stay at Blue Bay.
The staff were amazing and the property was well maintained.
We read a lot of bad reviews but took the gamble and it paid off.
If you’re looking for a good affordable, family friendly options that has two pools, plenty of food options, swim-able beach and great helpful staff this is could be the place.
We also loved all the different animals we saw in the beautifully maintained grounds and the cenote lagoon just down the beach

We had to change rooms 3 times. Once for broken doors etc. and secondly BED BUGS our room was fumigated and they expected us to sleep in that room for the remainder of our stay. Don’t waste your time or money on this resort!!! Not a 5 star more like 1/2 a star! Nasty all together. Food was awful!! Don’t let the photos on the website fool you! FALSE ADVERTISING AT ITS BEST!!!!!

Great buffet. Different buffets each day was awesome. Did not miss home food.
Beach was not great with lot of seaweeds. But you walk right to go in front of ocean maya royale and the beach there is great. Just 0 min walk. I would definitely come back.

Pool closes very early.
Service was great.
Rooms are not in their best conditions.
Avoid their “talk” about buying a vip membership. 2 hours to charge 14k. All the resorts are the same.

There are common areas that desperately need maintenance, as well as within the rooms (air con wasn’t working when we arrived and were told it was across the entire building, and took few hours to get working).
WiFi dropped constantly and lifts were on and off too.
Staff were amazing, which is what made the stay better.

Could you believe the only thing I liked here was the wild life only. The beach was so dirty, when we wanted to talk to management or any higher up’s there was nobody in charge. they only send you to the Concierge (which they do for any problem you have). We were a couple and we asked for king size bed that they never gave us even after we asked 3 different times and got moved to different rooms that were worst than the last. The WiFi was atrocious and some employees there need to be humbled because they have terrible egos. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all to anyone.

The way they train the staff to just say no to everything asked is frustrating. There was no space for dining, even when making reservations the food was not good nor was the service timely. Waited over an hour and never brought our drinks. Made sure to keep us there long enough for the buffet to be closed when we got out. Pools were dirty. Rooms stunk like some kind of sewer smell coming up from the pipes in the bathroom. Everything was outdated and in need of attention. Beach was not clean. I’m grateful for excursion that got us out of the resort bc it was definitely a 1 star experience from the moment we got there. The golf carts will pass you by and wave even when you are flagging them down for a ride. I’m very disappointed in this location and this was my 3rd time to Cancun. Will be sure to avoid this place in the future!
