Blue Haven Resort

For my 40th birthday I specifically wanted a nice all-inclusive in the Caribbean with good food , a nice beach, and quality drinks (shoutout to Sly). Blue Haven delivered on all parts plus more. The hotel was well maintained and offered a great variety of beverages, excursions, and food choices. I stood in a studio with a king size bed which was way bigger than most New York City studio apartments. While the beach front is on the smaller side in comparison to their sister hotel, Alexandra, Blue Haven offers a nice escape from the typical loud ,overcrowded, and rambunctious all-inclusive scene. As an added bonus the shuttle to Alexandra, free of charge, was extremely useful. Alexandra sits on Grace Bay which is ranked as having one of the worlds top beaches. While there make sure to to eat at the jerk chicken hut during lunch and consider making a reservation at the Black Rock steak restaurant for dinner. If steak isn't your thing simply head back to Blue Haven where the Fire and Ice restaurant has something for everyone. The food and staff specifically Cadet, Desney, Kellie, and Michael were very attentive and knew exactly what would satisfy your palate. Even with Hurricane Erin raining down on the celebration, literally, all the staff were attentive to our needs and our safety. Many thanks to Makayla, Shaneka, and Vanessa for accommodating us for an additional four days while the airport was closed and our airline was working on putting us on a flight out of the country. In short, Blue Haven is adequately named. I can't wait to return back one day with a family of my own to share with them the beauty of the property and staff.

The place had a lot to offer. The beach and pool was great for kids. Kayaking, paddle boarding, and sea bob were available if you wanted to use them. The buffet offered various food options. The lunches and dinners also had a lot of options. The cafe Agave offered smoothies and other drinks along with ice cream and desserts. The gym had great equipment and was clean. The rooms were large and they will be closes for a few weeks to renovate the facility. If you want a relaxing vacation without the crowds. This is the ideal place. All 7 of us had a wonderful experience. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We went here with our adult kids for a birthday and had a great time! It's smaller than your typical Beaches/Sandals resorts but it was kind of nice because you got to know everyone there and the staff treated us like family. The F&B Manager was great and when we were trapped in the dining area due to the weather, he came over and played games with us and brought in staff to do a trivia game, Emilee the bartender was so much fun and Smiley brought the laughs. For a boutique experience, it was 10/10. My only small negative was things closed early and although not part of the resort, the taxis took advantage of us twice.. even after confirming cost. Just let the staff set that for you... also the sister resort, Alexandria was on the older side but just depends what you are looking for!

Fabulous, just what we needed to relax, unwind and recharge for a week, intimate size property, away from the hub of things. Higher end amenities all around, concierge service, excellent chef and restaurant service. Fantastic private chef in our kitchen. Our 1 br ocean front corner, 4th fl, was exactly as reserved and exactly as advertised in photo array. We had everything we needed, including gourmet kitchen, walk in closet/dressing room, decent sized wrap patio with loungers and dining table. Temperature control was modern and silent (a huge plus). Entire Staff is perfectly accommodating on all counts, beach staff in particular is spot on and a special thanks for having our kayaks ready to hop into and pushed off multiple times a day. The single time we opted to use the sister property (for the sushi restaurant) we returned and never ventured away from the tranquility again. The one and only negative on this prime property was the 'Miami beat' music at the ocean front. Couldn't get them to lower it for long periods of time, and the back-beat-base was not conducive to the mellow-laid-back reason to be there. Several occasions we couldn't even sit on our own patio without hearing the 'thump' of the base. But overall, just what we needed.

Blue Haven is a true gem. The resort, the service, and food, and the commitment to excellence was outstanding. The rooms and the grounds were impeccable and beautifully maintained. Room cleaning and housekeeping were beyond excellent. The staff were friendly and provided A1 service. The food and restaurants were of top quality as well. Access to the Alexandra sister-resort provided additional food and beach options. Truly a great value for an all-inclusive experience.
