All-inclusive property outside Puerto Plata

BlueBay Villas, located on the coast just outside the city of Puerto Plata, offers all-inclusive resort living for guests over 18. The resort is especially popular for wedding parties, recently married couples, or vacationers just looking to chill out and relax. One partner can play a round of golf while the other indulges at the spa. Golfers are regular visitors since BlueBay is next door to the 18-hole Playa Dorada golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones. Four restaurants on site offer diverse dining choices.

Highlights
  • Proximity to sites in Puerto Plata
  • Exquisite beach
  • Robert Trent Jones designed golf course
  • Tasty food

Exciting vacation

Going during the off season, the hotel from very quiet and enjoyable. The food and drinks were excellent and our contact person to book excursions made the process very easy. Only complaint would be the beds were a little to firm for my liking. Would absolutely recommend this hotel.

I absolutely love the Blue Bay

I absolutely love the Blue Bay Hotel. It is the only "adult-only" resort in Puerto Plata. The grounds are beautiful, the food is awesome, the entertainment is excellent. The rooms are a little austere for the price you pay...I find more could be done in terms of better pricing. I have been to Puerto Plata 8 times and have done my share of hotel tours. The Blue Bay is very good and ranks pretty high with me. I would stay there all the time but the price is a little high in comparison to other venues.

Best Trip Ever

For 9 days, we relaxed, partied, drank, danced and more! The staff was amazing. There is all inclusive and available food and drinks around the clock. The excursions available are breath taking. I normally don't like to go back to the same place twice, but I think we're going to make an exception. We can't wait to go again. But this time, we're going to bring a group. I highly recommend Bluebay PS The location is excellent. Right on the beach and casinos and clubs just around the corner.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE at BLUEBAY RESORT

Bachelor Party. Terrible Customer Service due to their incredibly unreasonable hotel fee structure. The facility was not very well maintained; the pool was dirty throughout the day. The food was Americanized. There was very little resemblance of Dominican culture in hotel food. The rooms are small and smelly. Charging unheard of fees like daily Safe rental for $3 a day.

Family Vacation

I have stayed in this resort a few times in the past with my boyfriend. This time around I decided to take my family including my 21 year old daughter and my parents. Needless to say, they had a wonderful time. They can't wait to go back. My daughter made new friends and went to the clubs every night. My mother wanted to go into town and we spent the day just sightseeing. I must say we had a great time.

BlueBay Villas

I have to be moved to another room after one day because of the poor conditions in my first room. But my second room though a little better, the telephone system did not work the whole time I was there. Also, in the dining area, you had to constantly swat at birds to keep them from pecking at your food. The hotel staff was nice, but the accommodations need a lot of improvements.

For ppl who want to relax

This was an amazing resort, it was more suited for relaxing than for nightlife/partying. We stayed 5 days and 4 nights. Word of advice book tours and excursions at the beach in the resort it is way cheaper than the hotel prices. Between the only downfall is that there was no Maduros and I wish their was more latin dishes, but other than that the a la carte restaurants made up for it.
