Blue Beach Luxury All Inclusive Resort

Terrible experience, had to wait for beach towels for an hour. Only one restaurant open at a time, regular food, bad service. The room had one "king sized" bed, which would become 2 twins while you sleep. The show at nights very poor. Do not go there

I hope my review is informative and useful to both potential visitors and to the management at the resort. First off, I traveled with my wife and two children (13 and 10). We primarily chose this resort for it's spacious room layouts. We had a 3 bdrm/2 full bath suite with a "jacuzzi", full kitchen, living room, washer/dryer as well as a patio. The living room and "master" bedroom open up to the patio directly. You will be hard pressed to find something this large at this price point. One minor inconvenience was the layout of the bedrooms. I requested one King and two Queen beds which they accomodated. However, the King bed was not in the "master" bedroom which had the larger bathroom. The reviews for this resort have been, for the most part, 4/5. And many of the issues others experienced included beach/pool towels, lack of activities/entertainment, available restaurants, etc. Here's a rundown on my experience. You will receive a blue towel for each registered guest. The towels should be in your room or you will be given a card to redeem at the front desk for each towel. You may "exchange" dirty towels for clean towels at the front desk (subject to availability). If all else fails, wash your own towels in your room. There is a tiny store across the street from the resort that sells laundry detergent. The resort did have a few activities like corn hole and horseshoes during the day. They also had a entertainment most nights including a Dominican Night, Fire show, Michael Jackson impersonator, and karaoke. Be sure to ask the front desk about what they will doing each day as they do a poor job of communicating things to the guests. The main restaurant is buffet style and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Mediterranean and Asian restaurants are only open a couple of nights a week and require reservations. However, the menu is extremely limited. The Blue Wave is the only other a le carte option (RBG wasn't open while we were there). The resort has two bars, Blue Agave (by the lobby) and Blue Wave (by the beach). Ask for Dorling at Blue Agave and Henry at Blue Wave! The pool is nice and relaxing with plenty of chairs. The only downside is they do close it for cleaning at 7pm. The layout of resort is great. This was another huge plus for us as we did not have to walk very far for anything. The beach area also has plenty of chairs as well as comfortable cabanas. There is seaweed. However, the staff work throughout the day to keep most of the seaweed cleaned up. FYI...there is a little hut on the beach next door at Serenades Resort that will let you take out kayaks for a small refunable deposit. We also boked our excursions through Domex which you can find in the lobby. Overall, the Radisson Blu was fine. Now here comes the but...This was a trip to celebrate my 15th wedding anniversary. I reached out to the resort a week ahead of our arrival to make a few small requests like early check-in (if available). I mentioned to the person I spoke

Travelled with another family and really liked the space the suites provided. Spa services were excellent- dealing with Jonathan was easy and services were reasonable and a good value. Ruben at beach bar was wonderful! Jesus and Kimberly in activities were some of the most welcoming and friendly people. Really wanted to get everyone involved. Housekeeping did a great job. Coffee bar was wonderful! One drawback was the towel situation. There were never enough beach or regular towels. I just washed myself in the end.

Nice, friendly stuff. The food was very really delicious and I’m happy with the service as well as the hotel room was really clean. The overall service of the staff was great and everybody was really friendly. Hotel was modern and it’s an overall great experience and I would definitely recommend coming here again.

Please, DO NOT BOOK a stay AT THIS RESORT. Consider yourself warned! If you do, you will have only yourself to blame. The pictures online are beautiful and the website posts a lot of amenities and restaurants. There were no such cooking classes and the staff will tell you they know nothing about it (despite it being on the website). There is NO nighttime entertainment. Unless you consider the one night out of five, they provide entertainment (That was only because 2 bus loads of locals came for a few days) When they leave the food and selection will go back to bare basics. Forget the multiple restaurants posted on the website. One restaurant is open per night. You eat dinner at that one restaurant, or you do not eat dinner. The food selection was less than hot. Speaking of hot, I hope you like room-temperature food. Service: 1 Star A point for the efforts of a few, but there's too much to say on the subject. They will tell you a nice line, but you won't get any action. Rooms: 0 Stars In your suite, there is a beautiful kitchen (great for the website pictures). But there will be no pots, pans, plates, forks, spoons, dish soap, hand rags,s or anything! And no, you cannot have any delivered to the room or request. No, you cannot get some from the resort's kitchen. If you have stuff in the room, make it usable! Cleanness: 5 Stars The rooms and property were clean Nearby activities: 1 Stars Not much except the mall Safety: 0 Stars There is a beautiful view out the window, but check your glass sliding door in the back. They all don't lock! Walkability: 0 Stars There's not much of anything to do nearby. This is a shame because there's not much to do at the resort. Food & drinks: 1 Stars There's way too much to say here! You MIGHT eat well one night if there are a lot of people in the resort that weekend. In summary, bring your snacks!
