Blue Waters Resort & Spa

We stayed at the turtle cottage and were taken care of by Nicole. She was excellent booked our restaurants activities and transfers. The villa was amazing and we had a blast.

The resort is handy for the airport but we never heard or saw a plane while there, and handy for St Johns for shopping. Our room in Cove suites was large, comfortable, and well appointed. The pool shared by seven rooms in the Cove building was a nice secluded area to get away from the main beach and other pools. Service was excellent throughout - everyone engaged with us. Special thanks to Kina in the Palm restaurant, and Monique looking after the rooms, who both went over and above expectations. All three restaurants were great with lots of choice. Our only complaint was the spa which felt expensive for what we got.

We loved the serenity and service of this resort. I recommend splurging for a room in the Cove…great bar/food service and each villa has its own infinity pool. The sunset views are to die for. Food was amazing. Make your reservations quickly upon arrival and don’t miss a chance to eat at that the Cove at least once.

Blue Waters is a wonderful place. Heaven on Earth. It welcomes you in and wraps you up like a warm blanket. This is almost entirely due to the wonderful staff, who all seem to know your name as soon as you arrive. How do they do that? Where else in the world would you find a general manager who greets every guest personally every day? Nothing is too much trouble and service always comes with a smile. The beautiful gardens are lovingly intended by John and his team and the colours seem to be exceptionally stunning at this time of year. It’s as though you’re holidaying in a tropical garden. Food in all the restaurants is first class. Something that’s often overlooked but definitely worthy of a mention is the home made rum and raisin ice cream. It’s packed with rum and in fact is now our favourite dessert except perhaps for Chocoholic in The Cove Restaurant. The Palm is our favourite spot for breakfast anywhere in the world. We’ve stayed in several types of room now and could recommend any of them so just choose something that suits your budget. For a touch of exclusivity try the Cove Suites and for a stunning sea view the beachfront rooms in block 1 are fab. We’ve travelled about quite a lot but Blue Waters is the only place we return to again and again. It’s home now. PS It’s also an amazing place for a wedding or special celebration. Mandie, the wedding coordinator, has years of experience and can arrange a magical day, even at short notice!

This hotel's location, staff and cuisine continue to mark this out as an experience to be savoured. Water sports from Hobie cats to kayaking and paddle board or take one the hotel's 2 powerboats out for an exploration and experience. The food is of a high standard and varied. The Palm restaurant is by the beautiful quiet beach and the Reef is by the pool overlooking the bay. The Cove restaurant is open evenings in a delightful position only a short walk or buggy ride away. We have only heard good things from other guests, some of whom are repeat visitors. Close to St John's and taxis or car rental to visit Shirley Heights, English Dockyard etc are available from reception. Highly recommended
