Reviews for Blue Waters Resort & Spa

Ten day happy family holiday

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

This was our second family ( 3 x teens/tweens as well as Mother in law) holiday at Blue Waters and it felt even better the second time around. The setting is glorious- laid back, Caribbean chic surroundings, beautiful, well kept grounds, nice bedrooms and incredibly friendly and helpful staff made for another very relaxing holiday. Special mentions to Nicole, always available to help with a smile, Del and his water sports team for their effervescence and willing and all the team in the Palm restaurant for helping with mealtimes and my husband’s endless requests for your lemongrass and ginger tea! Thank you for taking such good care of us, we loved it and I hope we will return again.

Celebrating 65 years in Tropical paradise

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

The Blue Waters resorts is located on along the Caribbean Sea, which is very peaceful with a beautiful private beach. This is a luxurious resorts with elegance. From our check into this tropical paradise, we were surrounded by beauty of the lush gardens, sunshine, and clear blue water with a nice ocean breeze. This resort has a private beach, with clear blue water, along with water sports. The rooms and suites are spacious, with air conditioning , breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. The rooms were clean, equipped with comforts for an enjoyable stay. Blue Waters has a well trained staff from the front desk to the ground crew. We were greeted daily with warm smiles, and genuine hospitality. The Blue Waters staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs, and made us feel Welcome, and Valued during our stay. Thumbs up the entire staff. They three restaurants, one is beach side casual dining, the second is one with Caribbean flair, and lasting our favorite the Cove fine dining. We recommend the fried Lobster tail for starters, followed by Lobster thermidor.

A beautiful wedding at Blue Waters

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

We had a truly beautiful and memorable wedding at Blue Waters, thanks to Mandy and her amazing team. Following our fairly last-minute decision to get married during our holiday, just the two of us (and with minimal planning on our part), we ended up with a lavish, well-organised and pitch-perfect day in an absolutely stunning location. Most importantly, we felt as though we were actually celebrating with friends – such was the care, attention, and genuine happiness for us of Mandy, the registrar, the staff (a big shout-out to June!), our lovely witnesses, and the photographers, a fabulous mother-and-son team who gave us SO many incredible photos. A special mention too to our fellow guests – such lovely people, who made us feel special and cared for. A heartfelt thank you to all!

Smoke in paradise!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Just returned from a four-night stay at Blue Waters. We enjoyed it very much, with one exception: They do NOT have a no-smoking policy and the resort is heavily frequented by Brits, who appear to think it's fashionable to smoke (and smoke and smoke) in public. Arrgh! However, if you don't mind getting cancer, Blue Waters may be your place. Read on for pros and cons. PROS: A beautiful spot, rising up a rocky hillside from a beautiful beach, with another cove area replete with pelicans. Lovely, mature grounds and nice, if a bit worn and dated, decor (see cons, below). Food and service were excellent here! In fact, they surpassed a much more expensive luxe resort we went to after our Blue Waters stay. Food was plentiful, tasty, fresh, well prepared and ran the gamut from fun buffets (Bloody Mary bar at breakfast!!) to romantic candlelit dinners. We upgraded to a private house (half of Pelican Cottage) and it was stocked with snacks and booze. Wine was a fail, but it was a fail at the luxe property, too. The staff were incredibly friendly, sweet and fun. Everyone, even the groundskeepers. It was my 60th birthday and word got around, so I was cheerily greeted with "Happy birthday" everywhere I went. Staff also noted requests I had made in advance and made every effort -- successfully -- to accommodate. Not sure who gets the credit, but Blue Waters rocks in the service department. We had a concierge, Nicole, dedicated to help with out stay. What a hard worker! She even chased away particularly pesky smokers so I could enjoy our private pool without anaphylaxis. Give Nicole a raise! Overall, the people are Blue Waters' secret sauce. Each evening had live entertainment of a different sort, and we loved it. Very talented musicians that really added to the ambiance. CONS: Very few, other than the smoking. This is an older property, and many of the beachfront rooms date from the 1960s or 1970s. Some wear and tear, and the decor wasn't world-class, but it was good enough. The watersports shop needs some work. It seemed whenever we wanted to do something, it wasn't open, or all equipment was rented. Overall, though, Blue Waters is a nice place with great food and people.

Relaxing stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

I have been meaning to write a review of our stay over Christmas. We had a lovely stay here which says a lot since I was with my sister in law and my husband’s family. The stay was very easy and the staff were lovely. The service was some of the best I’ve experienced in the Caribbean. I liked that the kids were able to play tennis and pickleball daily before heading to the beach. In a side note, they gave out cute bags to the guests as Christmas presents and my horrible sister in law took mine for her young daughter. The head of the hotel totally got it and worked hard to located another bag for me. Thank you. Yes I know it was a petty request on my part but it made me happy.

It's wonderful to arrive at a destination which somehow manages to capture the comfort of home and the feeling of being far away from your familiar. You are immediately in the moment when you arrive at Blue Waters. It's relaxed atmosphere, warm, accommodating staff, stunning views were a welcome to my spirit. There's plenty to do or as little as you please. Either direction will leave you with a satisfied smile on your face.

Antigua has to be my favourite of all the Caribbean islands. The beaches are picture perfect, the people are welcoming, and the water is so inviting. Plus only one word really describes the setting of Rock Cottage at Blue Waters Resort—paradise. From every direction, all you see are miles of blue sea and brilliant sky. The resort is simply a stunning spot. In fact, Antigua has to be one of the most tranquil places I've visited and I've visited a lot of places. I'm already planning my next stay.
