I stayed at the BlueBay Grand Esmarelda from 3/22-28 with a couple of girl friends - we're in our early 30s.

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon where we stayed at the Grand Esmerelda. We are typically picky people and expected to have a few annoyances however we were BOTH very very happy with our week long stay. The staff is EXCEPTIONALLY friendly, the food was fabulous and the shows at night were funny and entertaining. This... more

Let's start with what we saw that would either confirm or dispel other reviews that I had read prior to our trip. First the staff was great and worked out all of our wishes, as well as I have seen from a caribbean vacation over the last 30 years. The bartenders were typical of all-inclusive and the maids did a... more

We just got back last night from a week at the BBGE. I will start off by saying we had a great vacation here. I was very concerned after reading all the negative reviews.
