Blue Haven Resort

We were very pleased with our 7-day stay at the Blue Haven resort. The resort was immaculate, accommodations were large and included a full kitchen, a beautiful balcony overlooking the water as well as a washer and dryer. There were two restaurants and a seaside grill with sit-down lunch options. The food was very good and we never had any problems getting seated. The Fire and Ice restaurant was our favorite although we also had two very good dinners at Salt. The beach was small but perfect for swimming. Grace Bay beach at the sister property was very nice but we actually preferred Blue Haven as it was more laid back and easier to get in and out of the water. We never had a problem getting beach chairs with umbrellas. The shuttle between resorts made it easy to get to both and we enjoyed a great dinner at the Black Rock restaurant at Alexandra. One of the highlights was the beach party night with entertainment, a wide range of Caribbean foods and a grill. The most amazing part was actually the Blue Haven staff. Everyone from check-in through our departure was friendly, attentive and really went out of their way for us. It was a very relaxing stress-free vacation in a beautiful location. Exceptional staff included the manager Shaneka who made the black rock reservations for us; Gillian who made the world's best mojitos; Tange who helped us with excursions; Rice at the beach water sports; and waiters Jackson and Cairt. Its hard not to name everyone as they truly all went above and beyond, from bringing us drinks on the beach to simply asking how things were going and looking for ways to make our vacation even better. We enjoyed the snorkeling excursion with Caicos Dreams and really enjoyed iguana island. The clear kayak trip to the mangroves was a lot of fun, we must have seen 50 turtles. The Turks Tours trolley trip gave us a feel for the island. Mostly, we sat under an umbrella on the beach, read and swam! It was a very relaxing, stress-free and enjoyable vacation.

There were 18 of us ranging in age from 9 months to 69, for a family trip. Blue Haven was WONDERFUL from welcoming drinks and an easy check in from Tange to getting extra port a cribs for the toddlers! It's a small resort so it was easy to keep an eye on the 5 older children (11, 9, 9, 7, and 6), we could sit under umbrellas at the beach with the toddlers and baby while the big kids ran between the beach and the pool. The beach was beautiful. The kids had fun on the water trampoline and the pods. They even took out a paddle board. Some of the grownups booked a clear bottom kayak trip from our beach to the mangroves. A shout out goes to Rice(I hope I have her name right) as our guide. Some of our more experienced Kayakers took out resort Kayaks and paddled over to the mangroves for a shorter trip. The food was fantastic as were the drinks. A shout out to Nathalee and the rest of the crew at the swim up bar. We finally had to cut off our big kids from the virgin mudslides and pina coladas.! We booked two babysitters for a grownup night out and Tweetie and Ayaisha showed up with art projects for the kids to do and even got the toddlers to sleep! The accommodations were wonderful and clean. We had one problem with a toilet and it was fixed immediately. I would like to say a thankyou to some of the other staff -Shaneke, Delcardo, Rodney and some of the others that I might have missed. Thank you all for making such a memorable vacation

The resort was beautiful. But what made it the best was the staff. Coco, smiley, and tweety, went above and beyond. They truly made our time there memorable.

My wife and I stayed at Blue Haven for four nights at the end of November. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay . We choose Blue Haven over her sister property, Alexandra, because it was advertised as quieter and more relaxing. We feel like we made the right choice. While there were kids at Blue Haven, the overall vibe seemed much more laid back. The property is much smaller than Alexandra, which helps keep things calm. Our room was smaller than we hoped, but it was clean and up-to-date. There was some noise in the hallway, and the walls were thin so noise from our neighbor's room did slip through, but it wasn't bad. The property is located in a residential area, so it is away from the hustle and bustle of the main shopping area, which is both good and bad. It keeps things quieter, but if you want to go out off the property, you need a cab and it is a flat fee each way. ($12 for us, I suspect it varies). The location is right on a channel that marks the east end of the most populous island, but even though there is a fair amount of boat traffic, the beach is quite nice, peaceful, and great for swimming. There are also not a lot of people, so it is not hard to find a nice chair. The best thing is that the mangrove island is right across the channel. The glass bottom kayak tours of the mangroves is a major excursion on the island, and at Blue Haven is a very easy and cost effective due to how close you are. I highly, highly recommend this excursion. The final point I will make - the food. For me, the food may be the most important part of the all-inclusive experience, because you pretty much have to eat most meals at the resort. And Blue Haven's food did not disappoint. Every meal was quite good, and the variety was great for our four day stay. We enjoyed Fire and Ice, and also had a good dinner at Salt. The beachside lunch spot was also very good, with a varied menu.

Yessica was great! She's a bartender on the resort and she makes great drinks! She was very professional and kind! She was attentive to our group. All of the staff at Blue Haven were exceptionally friendly and kind!
