Great vacation
Overall we had a great experience at Blue Bays Villas. We like the low key hotel, we came to the area for the beach and snorkeling.
Was our first time in a small resort, and adults only. We liked how easy it was to find your way around, and short walk to the beach. You won't get lost out here.
One buffet restaurant that changes the dinners each night. Food for Dominican was good, actually was much better than a more expensive resort we stayed a few years back in Dominican. It isn't as good as Mexico, but you will find something you like. Great to taste some of the local dishes as well. We only did the seafood a la cart, as other reviews said it was the better one. Food was very good, we did order a few main courses as the dinners are smaller and they recommend you order a few. Was a little bit confusing, our friends spoke spanish.
Beach was great, always can find chairs, shelter, sun and shade. Beautiful sandy beach for swimming. If you walk north you will find great snorkeling. You can find all the tropical fish, eals, huge lion fish, sting rays, octopus, two different kind of barracudas, and many more.
Very nice to walk the beach at night, quiet with no body around. Lots of security at different resorts at night so you feel safe. The resort is in a complex with other resorts for safety.
Great friendly staff, some of the best staff we have ever had at a resort. There is little for entertainment, small local band at night for dancing. You won't find any of the shows here you would find in the larger resorts. There is a small pool bar, we never went in there. Same people spend all their time in there drinking and never getting out. There are two other smaller pools out there, we stayed at the beach mostly.
One excursion we went on was the dune buggies through the mud. Great trip, but they stop twice and try to sell you local items. You don't spend too much time actually driving
Great for mid to older couples, groups or singles. Easy to get around, great for accessibility and wheelchairs. We would go back in the future, overall enjoyed our experience. It is clean, our group didn't get sick.one week was great, any longer you would probably get bored.
Bridge was out in the town, had to do a detour. Even with the detour is a 20 to 25 min to the airport which is great.
