Blue Bay Villas Doradas

Blue Bay Villas Doradas Review

The stunning grand entrance (a Sara Garcia design) at this adults-only resort with its slender white pillars uses white fabric to shelter the lobby from tropical rainfalls. Cushy woven lounge furniture with bright and floral pillows, the boutique with its tropical whites, and a staff in tropical whites all make for one attractive island scenario. It provides the backdrop for the weekly manager's party that may be the country's best: a stellar five-piece band, mimosas, and delicious hors d'oeuvres. The exuberant management leads the way to an admirable display of abundance, including all the à la carte Asian and seafood restaurants as well as the international buffet, from raw oysters to a real turkey dinner. The focus is on healthy food. Fitness classes include aqua aerobics by a certified instructor, with live music (a sax and a trumpet) three times a week. Learning-oriented activities are the norm here, be they Spanish classes, cooking and cocktail classes, even casino gambling instructions. This is an adults-only resort—no children allowed. Upgrade your room if you can afford it; the bungalows with private Jacuzzis are the best.
