Blue Waters Resort & Spa

This is a perfect hotel. The location is great as you can access the town easily but also Antigua isn't big so nowhere is far really. The vibe of the hotel is calm, sophisticated and luxurious. The room was amazing! Such a great space not small at all and everything that we could have possibly needed and more was supplied and the attention to detail was great, especially how clean it was. We loved the outside patio and seating area. All three pools were lovely, we liked that there is an adults only pool too. There are so many little hidden relaxation areas dotting around. The evening entertainment on the weekend was great, the band was really good. The absolute favourite part for me was the food.... Wow just wow. We stayed all inclusive and it was absolutely worth every penny. Every single meal was absolutely delicious, we came away with not a single fault of the place or the staff at all and we cannot wait to return.

Our first time to Antigua and we wanted to relax and chill for a week. The bluewater resort was perfect in all ways. The rooms were well equipped and maintained, the housekeeping was attentive. The resort staff were friendly, attentive and professional, always taking time to chat if you wanted to. The food in all the restaurants was very good, we had all inclusion plan and was so nice to have table service rather than a buffet experience, except breakfast which was a god buffet and table service option. The beach was our go to for daytime and we never had a problem getting sun loungers and the bar staff would often serve refreshments. Overall a great week and would definitely stay again if I return to Antigua.

Our experience was mixed. Pros We were in a pair of standard rooms and we found them to be good. The housekeeping was very good and Sonya was lovely. We had a problem with our electrics and it was dealt with swiftly. There are 3(ish) beaches in 2 bays and they were kept clean. Plenty of towels available. Pearle in the Pelican bar was warm and friendly and remembered our usual drinks order. The Cove restaurant was really good, as was the Palm BBQ and breakfast. Private fishing with Alex and Kevin was great, really recommend as it is possible to fish from the rocky outcrop, so great for people who can’t sail. They were patient and knowledgeable. Cons The management did not deal with the ridiculous issue of sunbed reservation adequately. To see 6 beds in a row on the beach already reserved at 10pm the night before and the staff refused to touch them as they had personal belongings on (Christmas decorations!) was ludicrous. Consequently there were days when there appeared to be no available beds on the beaches. Watersports team - on one day I gave them the benefit of the doubt regarding their surliness, unapproachability and lack of assistance but the second time they were the same. (With the exception of the lady with long braids and glasses who was helpful). They tried to make me sign the waiver without telling me about the sea and wind conditions, despite that being highlighted in bold. They chatted amongst themselves and ignored people waiting. They had zero enthusiasm for their work or the customers. The Reef restaurant. Adequate for lunch but not for dinner. The portions were tiny and on one occasion two of our party were served raw chicken skewers. Reservations. I managed to book restaurants for the first half of our break via our travel agent but for the second half I was told that on the day would be fine. It was not. We were not able to visit the Cove for the remainder of our break as it was fully booked which was very disappointing.

The resort was beautiful especially its location and its private beach was gorgeous. I enjoyed having the privacy of my own pool (shared between only a few other rooms instead of the whole resort). The room was smaller than The food was nice with good service and housekeeping did a good job. Would recommend.

We have just come home from 12 days in Paradise, there is no other way to describe this beautiful resort. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we had the most amazing relaxing stay in the most beautiful surroundings. The staff are incredible and each one is more friendly then the next but I have to mention a few by name, Annia, Sparkel and Keva in the Palm were outstanding and knew exactly what we wanted every time we ate there. They greeted us by name and were super friendly and efficient and great fun too. Tramain in Veronica’s bar was amazing too, so friendly and so helpful. Jefferson in reception was also very helpful and Sonia from housekeeping was so thorough and our room was kept spotless the whole time we were there. The beach is perfect and the sea was great to swim in,warm and very easy to access. We used all three pools and there were plenty of sun beds and water stations at every pool and so many towels. The gardens are magnificent, beautiful flowers in abundance and millions of white butterflies. It felt like we woke up in paradise every single day. We had a beachfront deluxe room which was beautiful and the view was stunning. We ate at the Palm a few evenings and the food was very nice there as was the breakfast which is served in the Palm. We ate at the Cove one evening but it was incredibly pricey and the portions were tiny but the food was very tasty. We ate out most evenings and used one of the hotel’s recommended taxi drives, Tready, who was brilliant. We had a really wonderful stay here and can’t wait to come back. Don’t hesitate to book this beautiful resort.
