BlueBay Grand Esmeralda All Inclusive

BlueBay Grand Esmeralda All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"The BlueBay Esmeralda was a good resort. The pool area was huge and lots of loungers were available. The beach was nice but it doesn't have much shade. The evening entertainment was poor , the beach party was cancelled due to rain but the fire show was good. The food was very good at the ala carte restaurants. The steakhouse was excellent. The breakfast buffet at the beach was better than the main buffet, Francisco was a great waiter. There were very few food options after 10:00. We had a problem with our room when we arrived but we moved immediately to building 3 and had a better experience."

What is a historic hotel like in Riviera Maya?
A historic hotel gives guests the opportunity to stay in a building that has been officially recognised with a historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — any building that's been identified as being of special interest. These types of hotels in Riviera Maya usually retain original elements like traditional architecture and period features within the guestrooms or public spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
These are quite similar. "Historic hotel" is a term often used in the US, whereas "heritage hotel" is common in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the building and architecture itself. Mainly heritage hotels draw meaning from the cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Riviera Maya have modern facilities?
Yes, efforts are made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features. Tourists who book a stay should expect the popular amenities you'd find in a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. Booking a historic hotel in Riviera Maya doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
