Was not on the beach, you had to walk over a bridge. The staff was 50/50 it seems the older staff was pleasant but the younger staff could care less if you where even there. The buffet needs improvement. There was no night life for an adults only place, the pool bar closed at 6 Not much for drinks except rum and vodka unless you went to the cash bar. The water was cloudy the hole time we where there either from the rain or the wind. We did do the city tour with blue tour guides, our guide Manny was amazing you could tell he loved his job A+ we did the rum factory and the cable car and the Amber museum which was pretty much a gift shop then on to the church which was beautiful and last we had lunch in town, the lunch was way better the the hotels! The vendors on the beach are a pain in the "donkey" but if your polite and tell them no thank you they usually won’t bother you to much
I was promised a bottle of rum on arrival but I had to call 4times to get it but other then that the hotel was good wish the room was bigger and more modern but other than that it was good
Excellent food and attentions. Great sea. Good experience. Recomend
Overall a ok resort. Grounds are ok, service is ok and rooms are ok and in need of tlc. I chose to upgrade to a platinum room for the description on the company site only to be told once I arrived there is no platinum room only slightly better benefits and all rooms are the same. Besides 10 hours of “free” internet I didn’t see any benefit to going platinum. Yet on the 2nd day there they gave me a tour of a room of which I was told vip and platinum members get every time if they join or are part of there vacation club. This room was in much better condition than the room I got. But upon check in I’m told all rooms ate the same?!? oh well you get what you pay for.
enjoyed a lot, entertainment great, food could be improved, overall had a great time
From the day I arrived to the hotel till the day I left every single staff were amazing in special front desk staff. About the room it was in optimal conditions!!... THANK YOU
Pros ; Easy check in and out Staff nice Night entertainment good Sea pro water sports on beech excellent Felix very helpful Cons; circle one vip club solicitation on day one? Terrible. Won’t stop stalking you all over resort until you agree to hear there pitch so sad when you just want to Enjoy your vacation in peace In short not worth 11000 investment they ask for Immediate 4500 down payment they ask for with rest paid over 30 years at 10% is a joke. When we said no They conviently came up with lower priced options so funny Worst than a used car salesman no class They offer a gift basket as soon as you sit down if Your credit card ends with numbers 12 . Would be Less obvious if they just asked if you have a credit card It’s obvious a ploy to see you you have a credit card or Debit card they can charge on the scam there trying to Sell you in my opinion. They want immediate payment with out even thinking It over so funny . They offered a free massage voucher at first my misunderstanding I thought it would be free but was Only a discount still have to pay the difference Bottom line don’t waste your 2 hours like I did Nothing in life is free there’s always a catch Just say no thank you and hope they don’t stalk you for Your entire stay like they did to me They will even wait outside restaurant until you exit So anoying in my opinion
This is a nice hotel, relaxing. My husband and I enjoyed our two day stay. The only thing that we really didnt like so much was the food from the buffet.
I traveled at the beginning of Aug. 2017. The hotel staff was amazing. The hotel is small, but we were fine with this. Given how small the hotel was there's not a lot of options to go to such as a night club or a bar lounge. Getting to eat a restaurant is very difficult to do. If you stay for a week you have a better chance. Just book it as soon as you arrive. The food was ok for me at the buffet. The selection was not my favorite, but my husband seemed to like it. Everyone is allowed to smoke. If this is an issue this resort is not for you. The landscaping was well kept. The cost to the airport is $35.00 one way. I prefer not to share a ride. If you do, the cab will cost you less. Never exchange your money at the airport. You always get a higher exchange rate at the resort. Overall I would rate my stay a 7. I don't think I would go back. I prefer a resort that offers more amenities. Again, the staff was awesome!!
The only thing i liked was the foam pool party at night.
Good food. Room was smallish. Nice layout. Can't complain. Only would go back if i had a suite. The base line room isn't nice enough to stay in again.
Hotel was okay. The room could have been better if it had better flooring (floor was cold cement) and bigger showers. All inclusive food and drinks variety was amazing! Room service was very prompt. Laying on the beach wasn't the most relaxing experience - sellers approached every few minutes. Locals here are very eager to receive tips. Overall, good stay.
Terrible resort. Do not bother coming here. The food was mediocre and drinks were not even drinks at all. Just small portioned drinks with barely any alcohol for an all inclusive resort. The employees are very nice at times but aren't the brightest bulb in the box. For example, my boyfriend and I had problems with our room key and had us run back and forth to the front desk and all they did is just reprogram the key card which was useless which then they finally came with a machine to override the door for it to finally open and the problem continue afterward until we demanded a room change.To add to the staff members they are VERY unorganized with papers all over the place and the employees running around the front desk with only 2 computers. Besides that one incident, the beach vendors would not stop harassing you while you are trying to relax at the beach which made us leave. It is so bad that they make "rounds" if you stay long enough and take notice. To top it off, the Time Shares representives would stop harassing us to make us buy a time share. He hold us up for 2 hours of the day trying to persuade us even though we told him NO several times. Overall this is a 2 star resort disguised as a 5 star resort and I will return to this dump of a resort
My family and I were taken cared of as soon as we walked into the lobby. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I have been to many all inclusive resorts in the Dominican Republic, this has been the friendliest, kindest staff I have encountered. They create an atmosphere where people can meet, play and have fun together. I will definitely come back.
Buffet leaves something to be desired but otherwise very pleasant.
I recently stayed at the Blue Bay Villas Doradas – Puerto Plata, DR. I arrived on 11-May-2017 and left on 15-May-2017. I am writing to warn potential future customers about my experience. I have submitted this review in advance to both Orbitz and Blue Bay Resorts to allow them a chance to response prior to my posting here...but they have not responded. 1. I made the reservation through Orbitz.com and specifically reserved a “Superior” room because the Blue Bay website states that all Superior have a whirlpool tub. When I checked in on 11-May-2017 I made it a point to state that I had reserved a Superior room. The person at the front desk agreed that is what I would be given. The room I received, room # 8108, included only a walk-in shower. No tub. Additional details supposedly included with a Superior room were also missing such as turndown service, extra towels and bed linens, robes and slippers, etc. I had really been looking forward to relaxing in the whirlpool tub and I feel cheated and misled by the Superior room description and what I was given. 2. On 2 separate days the bathroom did not have hot water for showering. On 12-May-2017 I had to alert the front desk twice before someone arrived to fix the hot water. On 14-May-2017 I had to call the front desk 4 times before someone finally arrived to fix the hot water. In all my years of visiting various hotels I have never been forced to waste so much time waiting to take a shower. This was very frustrating and should b
I love this hotel was there with my girlfriend had the most amazing time of our life we spent 8 nithgs room very nice the food delicious and nice pool also i recomend it a lot i am planning to go again in september .
When we did the booking through Orbits they advertised that the room comes with Wifi. That was not true , they made up excuse that the contract was finished with some company , and if you need wifi you have to pay for it and it is expensive. The food is not all that , I was sick twice from eating there. The alcohol they serve is the bottom of the bottom, any drink you order they put couple drops of alcohol the drinks taste like water. Rowdy customers at night door slamming , and loud talking every day at 2 am , it rained two days I had leak in the room got my bed wet. I rate this resort at 2.5 I do not recommend. To get to the beach you have to walk across a bridge and you get hassled by people who try to sell you things they come bother you all day even when you say no the first time management do not do anything about it. Do not give any deposit in cash to any activity they try to sell you if it rains and you want out they tell you they do not have the money just to try to go the next day.
This hotel exceeded our expectations by far. As far as pros and cons go, the only coins I have is that the main pools close very early by about 8 p.m. there is no entry into the Main pools there is a spa pool that is open until 11:30 but it is very small and there is no jacuzzi / hot tub. Johnathan G at the front desk is absolutely outstanding as far as service and professionalism go, he will go above and beyond for you every day of your stay.
The staff was great especially the bartenders and wait staff. The beach is great. There are a lot of locals trying to sell you stuff on the beach, but if you dont want it a simple no does the trick. The rooms could be a little bigger. Love that is adult only. Get the platinum package if you want to drink top shelf liquor or there is cash bar for that. Food is good.
