Overview
Sitting next to its sister property – the adults-only Blue Diamond Riviera Maya – along secluded sands just a few miles north of Playa del Carmen, BlueBay Grand Esmeralda caters to guests of all ages. The resort's 979 rooms are particularly comfortable for families, with ample space for parents and kids, as well as flat-screen TVs, minibars and Wi-Fi access (for an additional charge). BlueBay Grand Esmeralda also makes a great home base for beachcombers looking to sprawl along the sand, while the three on-site pools (one of which was created especially for kids) provide an idyllic setting for sunbathing. For more active travelers, BlueBay Grand Esmeralda features tennis courts and pool volleyball. And for those in need of a little extra R&R, the on-site BlueBay Spa boasts a wide range of soothing treatments. Meanwhile, the resort's seven restaurants ensure that everyone's palate is pleased. While a spectrum of cuisine options is a plus for many guests, the highlight of a stay this property is the excellent customer service. However, a few outspoken guests do caution that the guest rooms are starting to show their age.
