A shining jewel in BlueBay's prestigious crown of exclusive resorts, the 180-acre beachfront BlueBay Grand Esmeralda offers a true Mexican escape for couples in love. Resplendent white sand beaches stretch more than 1,500 feet along the all-inclusive, five-star property's edge, framing crystal blue swimming pools, shady cabanas and towering palms. A just completed, 29,000-square-foot spa rejuvenates with a range of treatments, sauna and steam rooms, and a full-service fitness center.

With 986 elegant rooms and suites, BlueBay Grand Esmeralda pleases even the most discerning travelers. After a day exploring Mayan ruins or strolling Quinta Avenida in nearby Playa del Carmen, guests can return to soak in impressive ocean or garden views from their private balcony, unwind in the Jacuzzi, or enjoy a romantic in-room dinner for two. The resort also serves for dinner gourmet cuisine at L'Atalier, Mexican classics at Don Isi, and Italian favorites at Di Rossi, Steak House, Seafood and Oriental specialties.

From the moment brides and grooms book their stay, a wedding coordinator is on hand to help plan the big event. Vows may be exchanged on the sparkling beach, with a reception following in one of BlueBay's six restaurants.
