Blue Bay Resort

We had the pleasure of meeting Sala and talking with Eric, when the owner of the villa we stayed in down the road recommended them for transport to and from the airport. Eric was so friendly and helpful and Sala picked us up from the airport and drove us to the airport, to Island Magic and to the fire show. We are so grateful to them as it really helped us get around and enjoy the local area. Thank you.

***BE WARNED** I booked this place 12 months in advance, expecting boutique luxury for the $2500 I paid for 8 nights. Instead what we were faced with was a 30 minute drive down a very isolated, bumpy dirt road to what can only be described as hostel conditions. While the bungalows are roomy, the TV did not work, the electrical wiring was dodgy and exposed above the toilet and we were unable to shower due to no hot water and a dribble of cold water from the tap. We stayed only 2 nights and were promised a refund for the time we did not stay. After many back and forth messages between Eric and I, he failed to ever refund my money. We left the accommodation on 2 July and it is now 25 August 2023. He has now been ignoring my messages and pleas since 9 August 2023. If you are ok with paying 5 star prices for hostel at best conditions with pricey food and expensive transfers into and out of town, go right ahead and book here. Otherwise, AVOID! I am not one to leave bad reviews but this man has had long enough and has broken every promise made. Shame on you, Eric.

Thank you to the staff at Blue Bay Resort for making our stay very enjoyable, educational and memorable. From the moment the smiling, friendly staff picked us up at midnight from the airport to the early morning drop-off, they went out of their way to welcome us and help us with arranging all of our outings. They had some very excellent tips for outing ideas that helped round out our trip and make it special. Also, the meals we ate there were delicious and well prepared. One of the highlights of our stay there was the nature walk/traditional meal that Christine, her granddaughter and "little chief" took us on and prepared for us. It was an amazing experience for us and our children to learn some of the local remedies and customs. The views were great from all the bungalows and there was good snorkeling/kayaking right in front of us.

If you want a laid back holiday spot this is it. There is no pool but the ocean is literally meters from the front door of your bungalow. There is WIFI available but if you want to be off grid this is the place. The staff are amazing and became like family after our 2 week stay. Nothing was too much bother. A big thanks goes to Eric and his amazing team.

This resort is owned and run by the locals and is about a 20 minute ride from town. Very peaceful and relaxing. Great location right on the water. Bungalows spacious and comfortable. Staff very friendly. Christine looked after us very well. She took us on a nature walk pointing out the various fruits and plants that the local people use for medicinal purposes and also cooked us a traditional meal over an open fire. It was our wedding anniversary and Rosalie decorated our room with hearts and flowers.
