Blue Bay Villas Doradas - Adults Only - All Inclusive Reviews

When we first arrived to the room safe and refrigerator were not working and staff made us wait over an hour before having the problem fixed. After this incident things became a little better but not enough to recommend

We traveled with 10 total adults, and stayed from 1/9 through 1/16/15. We were given a room very close to the nightly entertainment area, which concerned us a bit at first, but it turned out to actually be more of a convenience than anything (e.g. going back to the room for sunblock, etc). The rooms we cleaner than many we have stayed at throughout the Caribbean/Mexico and lacked that musty smell that I very much despise (Yeah!). The property is well maintained, pools were sizable, and the ocean was only a short walk from the rooms. We did have some issue getting towels the first day, but got them every morning thereafter. The Animation crew (Anna, Pedro, Coca Cola, etc.) were hard-working and lots of fun. We weren't pressured by 'time share' salespeople at all and found the food to be satisfactory (Rafael was waiter #1!). Oh, and the drinks were good too (thanks Franklin and others!). The beach vendors will buzz you most of the day, but a friendly "no gracias" is all you need. They work hard too...and I offered them water frequently.

my room was located too close to the swimming pool. My room did not have the led lights i saw in the picture of flat TV, was a little disappointed. However, was still nice and clean and was a villa. My friend had the room just as the picture in one of the building, very well decorated. Staff was great and service was great. Food was also very good. Entertainment was OK, however, i went outside for entertainment. Very romantic environment if reserved.

Everything was great. This was my second time here and the hotel didn't let us down. However the reception staff did lose my reservation and ran my father in law off after they repeatedly refused to work w/ us on a solution. We had 8 rooms rented and they wouldn't let us add a paying customer to a room w/ only 1 occupant. Rusdel Acosta has terrible customer service skills.

I made Reservation two months before my stayed and when I got to the hotel I was told they were over book and I had to stay for the first night at another hotel next door..they gave me a romantic dinner at the beech to compensate. I was told by a manager that the dinner included lobster in it was a $150 dinner. Turns out lobster was not included nor the good stuff on the menu.. the setting was very nice so I ended up spending $50.on the dinner. I felt tricked.. I made my reservation on Expedia as always. But some how this was a disadvantage to them at least that's what they made me feel. Overall I would not recommend this hotel based on that inconvenience. They are to many hotel's in Dominican Republic lots of competition.

We stayed in this resort for 3 nights and it was disappointing... First, it is not all-inclusive at all. There is an extra charge for Wi-Fi, even though it is listed on the website "Free Wifi". There is also an extra charge for using the safety box in the room. And extra charge for room service and local call. So don't be fooled. Second, there is not much food selection on the menu. All three restaurants have very limited items. Last, don't book the tours in the resort by the pool side. We booked a Paradise Island Tour with lobster lunch, but NO lobster. Our Waterfall Tour was $20 more than other people. So take time to compare the price before you book.

Blue Bay Hotel exceeded all of our expectations. The grounds were lovely and lush and very well kept up and clean. The room, though a bit small, was clean and more than adequate for our needs (we were at the beach most of the time and rarely in our room). The staff was so friendly and helpful and they all went out of their way to make our vacation truly memorable and wonderful. We were there over x-mas and the hotel worked hard to make this a very festive occasion. Food was good and abundant, beach was beautiful and great for swimming and relaxing and activities were a lot of fun (if you choose to participate). We also felt very safe at this resort since there was a guard on the beach and on hotel grounds at all times and it is part of a gated community. The Dominican Republic is a lovely island and Blue Bay is a great representation of its beauty.

Standard room was not much to talk about. Certainly nothing like the pictures. The facilities and the entire staff from management to maintenance were simply amazing. They have a VIP section at the hotel but the staff treats everyone the same. Friendly and eager to make sure you are enjoying your stay.

My husband and I stayed here for three days in December. The hotel facilites, food, pool were all great. We loved the sauna. There were just a few things we didn't like. There were never beach towels when we needed them, the staff seemed more friendly and helpful towards the foreigners ( I am a foreigner but could pass for local and my husband is local). Compared to other hotels we have been to, this is the poorest treatment we have received from staff. The other thing was that the room only had one funtioning lamp/bedside plug and the water in the shower was not as hot as it should have been. Other than these few things, we enjoyed the hotel and got a well deserved rest. However, I don't think I will go back there because of the inferior we received.

The entertainment employees at the resort tried to force me to write a positive review before my stay was over. The staff is overbearing. It would be nicer if they just let you enjoy your vacation. Younger couples may prefer to go to Punta Cana.
