BlueBay Hotels & Resorts, a collection of four- and five-star all-inclusive luxury beach resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean, recently launched its new brand with the inauguration of two flagship properties, the five-star BlueBay Grand Esmeralda, on Mexico?s Mayan Riviera, and the upscale beach and golf property, BlueBay Villas Doradas in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. BlueBay Hotels & Resorts has no association with other Blue Bay branded properties in the Cancun area. The BlueBay Grand Esmeralda is already undergoing an expansion, slated for completion in January 2008, giving the hotel a total of 984 rooms. In addition, the property has just inaugurated a fully equipped spa, complete with a hydrotherapy circuit; a 6,000-square foot meeting and convention facility with a space for up to 450 people; and an auditorium with entertainment activities for guests with capacity for up to 600 people.
