Cancun, Blue Bay Club Hotel Review

Overall Rating

We stayed in the Blue Bay Getaway (sister hotel) for 14 nights in May 2004. We had a superb holiday and have yet to go on another to beat it. Cancun offers something for everyone. Well recommended.

Our hotel was advertised as adults only. Unfortunately some of the entertainment took it a little bit too far. However, if you do not want to see the raunchy antics of some of the guests you can escape and you are not forced to join in! Also check which beach area your hotel stands on as there are variations as some hotels back onto the lagoon side of cancun where the water is obviously not as perfect at the side which has sea.

Cancun, Blue Bay Club Hotel - We were so surprised at how friendly the Mexicans are, they could not do enough for us. A big highlight of the trip was Isla Contoy (the kind of beaches you dream about). Be prepared to take extra money for trips as they really do make the holiday. Cancun offers a wide variety of entertainment and restaurants up and down the coast. Although you will find the usual MacDonald's and TGI Fridays which you cannot escape nowadays, we recommend that you try some of the smaller places that are tucked away for some amazing food.
Chitzen Itza is also another trip that is well worth doing. However when you have your holiday vaccines make sure you mention that although Cancun is in a low risk area, you will be going through the jungle areas for the day on this trip.
Swimming with dolphins is offered in several places around Cancun at competitive prices but be sure to shop around to see how much you will be allowed to interact with them as this seems to vary at each place.
We traveled with First Choice Holidays and would definitely recommend them to others. The resort reps were extremely helpful and well organised.
The food at the Blue Bay Getaway was fantastic and varied and drinks were constantly supplied.
The hotel offers two pools, one for those who want to get away from it all and relax and another for the ents team antics as I mentioned earlier.
All in all we had a fantastic holiday and would return to Cancun again tomorrow. Next time we would like to try another hotel as there seemed to be quite a variation in standards. We would recommend the hotel to those of you who either want to join in with the entertainment or those who are more than happy to turn a blind eye. However we have heard that the Blue Bay Club is not the best of the two to stay in on several occasions. So make sure you know which one it is you are going to. Happy holidays!
