hi there just got back, from the blue bay in cancun,it looked a bit dodgy on the way to the hotel, but my god once we got there and was shown to our rooms, it was fantasic, oceon view,lovely beach (got a little seaweed on it but its the oceon wat do you expect) the food was great, the day time entertainment was good with dario, and belin, the only thing we missed you could not go on a pub crawl,you had to buy wrist bands , they were not to dare but it meant you had to stay in the one place to get your moneys worth, but you must and i mean must go to coco bongo, ot is fantasic i have never seen anything like it in my life go and see for yourself, and be sure to take plenty of sun cream it is very hot you even get burnt when it is overcast,hope you have as good time as we did the 4 from nottingham.

I stayed at the Blue Bay Club Hotel and really did not know what to expect, when we got to Mexico the our transfer bus took us to blu bay club and on the way i was a bit worried as they took us through town whch was a bit rough? so thought ohh damm what have i booked, however when we got to the hotel i was qyuite amazed as its away from all the hussle and bussle and is a nice family hotel? no young people getting drunk at the bars and shouting at all. The beach is out of this world and its a provate so you dont have to worry about the germans taking all the spaces. The hotel staff are wicked and are always there to help and make your stay at blue bay an experience which for me it was. I have loved it there so much i really was sad to leave. My advice to anyone would be to book a ocean view room as it so nice waking up in the morning and seeing the sun beaming down on your face... Loved it so much am going back there next year for my birthday again. Blue Bay Club.... good choice if you want a stress free and relaxing holiday or the Grand Blue Bay if you want to party and be close to all the shops or town centres then stay there. but my choice was Blue Bay Club.... Wicked :-)

The hotel is situated about a 20 minute taxi ride outside of the hotel zone.It has loverly white sandy beach and is in a very quite spot close to a small marina.There are no bars or restaurants outside of the hotel.About 3 miles down the road to the right of the hotel is a residential area which is a nice walk to take,There is also some old ruins in a park that no one seems to tell you about. there is also another ferry port here to the island.The hotel is furnished with excellent furniture and decor,Some of the junior suites on the second and third floors are a little old and need a little care taken of.The food in the hotel was very good for a 3 star hotel and the staff are very helpfull and friendly.The A LA CARTE Restaurant is very good with a excellent choice of menu, and the service was very good .The only promblem I found with this property was the clientel from the U.K. who just went there to get drunk and be abusive to the other guests, It is sad when this minority show the incorrect way of the British abroad.Cancun is not my favourite place in Mexico, but the Mexican people are so friendy they make you want to return to Mexico.

We booked 4 nights at the Blue Bay to finish our holiday in Cancun (having spent the first 3 nights at the Westin on a 'gifted' break we wanted to try a different, more affordable location).
The Blue Bay is an all-inclusive resort, which is great because it's a good 10-15 minute taxi ride from the Hotel Zone (and therefore all the night life and restaurants!). The all-inclusive dinner buffet was a good option for those nights were we just didn't fancy going back out of the resort and the menu was varied and tasty.
The staff at the Blue Bay can't be faulted for their politeness and eagerness to please. The 'entertainment' staff are particualarly good, and the "pre-hispanic extravaganza" show on Monday nights is not to be missed!
One thing to watch out for is the "free tour of the hotel facilities" offered by the concierge - this is actually an invitation to a time share presentation! However, in exchange for attending, you will be offered a FREE day-trip to the Isla Mujures via the hotels own Catamaran (which was definately worth spending two hours listening to information about the "VIP" package).
The room was huge, with two double beds, a sofa bed and a kitchen area with fridge and microwave. We also had access directly to the beach from our ground floor room. It was cleaned daily and we had no complaints.
The Blue Bay also has two bars (one inside and one on the terrace by the pool) and a snack bar in addition to the breakfast/lunch/dinner buffet dining area. The Pool is good; very kid-friendly and not too deep. Also has a basketball hoop and a lot of organised activities take place nearby, so not a very quiet environment.
One important thing to note; although the location is a bit removed from the mail Hotel Zone, the sea is much calmer than beaches at the other hotels - which means swimming is almost always possible... we spent 3 nights at the Westin and were never allowed in the water due to the 5 foot high waves!
At the Blue Bay we even managed to snorkel and saw plenty of fish on their 'artificial reef'.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay, and would love to go back... the Blue Bay is totally kid-friendly so if you're looking for a more 'adult' hotel perhaps best to try the Blue Bay's sister hotel "Temptation" (but we thought it was a bit too "club med" for our taste).
