Traveloni’s Traveler Reviews
Apple ReviewSteven C., Defiance, Ohio

BlueBay Grand Esmeralda ReviewKenneth M., Hunt Valley, Maryland
February 13, 2014
Resort Overall :
 If you go try to stay in one of the buildings closer to the beach. The shuttle between the far buildings and the beach ran less frequently than needed and it was a 15 - 20 minute walk to get to the beach.. The desk staff were not that helpful. We arrived an hour before check in (3 PM) and they wouldn't let us check in until 3:30! Very bureaucratic with functionaries seeming to enjoy frustrating guests. We were told we could upgrade our room to oceanview for $50/night. When we decided to do so after spending two nights in the far building, that room was no longer available, only an oceanview suite (very nice) for $80 per night extra!
Room :
Our room was typical, on the fourth floor (elevator building) a LONG way from the beach in the "new" section. It was clean, the bed was reasonably comfortable but not great. The toilet in the bathroom leaked onto the floor and the maintenance people had to come three times to finally fix it right. The view was over the jungle with no water in sight but because we were high up we looked out on acres and acres of treetops, a pleasant view from the balcony.
Pools :
The pools were a bit on the cool side, there were no hot tubs and no swim-up bars, something I missed. But they were quite large.
Beach :
Beach was on the shallow side with lots of seaweed on the ocean floor as you walked out. However, there were lots of chaises and not enough palapas to go around, so you had to get there early to reserve them.
Resort Activities :
The programs in the theatre were sufficiently entertaining.
Restaurants and Bars :
 The variety of restaurants was impressive and service in them was great. Reservations were required in each, meaning we had to hike to the lobby at 7 AM each morning to get a reservation for the following night! They wouldn't take them by phone. The buffets were good, too, so food was reliably great.
Nightlife :
Typical
Excursions :
Only took one excursion to Tulum, which was enjoyable.

BlueBay Grand Esmeralda Reviewsherry c., oxford, Michigan
March 31, 2013
Resort Overall :
This was on the 5 apple square deal. But was not a 5 apple resort. I have been traveling with apple for more than 25 years and am always pleased. This year the resort was not up to the standards that we are used to, Althought we had a very enjoyable time it had alot to do with the company not the place. We statwo weeks and let the reps know after the first few days and were told ther would be and upn charge to move. A credit for next year would be nice.
Room :
Dirt in the corners of the bathroom 2" thick, water damage and mold on the shower/ tub ceilings, no plugs for the tub, every other day we had to call for wash cloths
Pools :
Pools were fine however the rest rooms were in poor shape dirty, some with no towlet seats in the ladies.
Beach :
Resort Activities :
Restaurants and Bars :
Service was always good, but in the morning spoons were never put on the tables and seemed hard to come by at the pool buffet. food was ok but not like other five star resorts in the area. the 4 star Rui and the 4 star Santoes are much better.
Nightlife :
The only common area for the evening is a big ugly sports bar with a band once in a while. Other resorts have had nicer common areas with magic, ethnic dancing, piano music, singers etc.
Excursions :
