They do not provide airport transportation. Roaches in rooms, no resort activities, one pool, 2 bars only one is 24 hours, have to wait 15 minutes for shuttles from rooms, food is very basic and not a great menu, room service is $8 per delivery. Hotel is not on beach where you can swim you have to walk 10/15 mini down the beach to swim area.

The beach directly in front of the Blue Bay isn't the best, but if you don't mind walking 10 minutes to the left, you'll find a much nicer stretch of beach where you can have a great time. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews—those are just Karens being Karens. Me being an American, I felt disgusted when another American said, "I'm an American, I need the HVAC to work." They were being disrespectful to the staff, asking them to hurry up at check-in. This place is actually fun and offers great value for its price. The rooms are extremely cold, which is perfect after a hot day, and there is a lot to do for the price. The rooms are clean, the staff is friendly, and there is plenty of food to eat. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would recommend it!

The staff was wonderful. The maintenance and upkeep of the hotel is not good. The A/C was out in the main dining area. It was extremely hot. I don’t know how the staff could bare it We had to change rooms 3 times before finding a room where the a/c barely was working. We will not visit property again nor would I recommend.

Great value for cost. You can pay more for a nicer place, but you have to pay a lot more to significantly improve the experience. This resort is definitely for the younger crowd. It is full of life and fun. Food was good. Great breakfast and dinner was good. Rooms was large. COLD a/c, decent bed and pillows, large nice shower, stocked mini bar, and a big balcony. Would definitely come back.
