Blue Waters Resort and Spa

Just finished our third holiday to Blue Waters over the last decade. The first time was a couple and second two times with children. As always we had a fantastic time. The staff are super helpful and jolly, and amazing with the kids. We made quite a lot of use of the kids club this trip and our boys were big fans of Abigail who they remembered from the previous visit. The great thing about the hotel is it has a number of restaurants, beach areas, pools and bars, so you never feel it is too busy or crowded, which makes for a much more relaxing experience. This trip we went out of the hotel for a few meals which made us appreciate the service and the food in Blue Waters all the more. My only error was forgetting they had windsurfers at Watersports until the last day, as would have done that more. We did a couple of trips out on the speedboat so as to go snorkelling. Again the guys on the boat were very attentive and gave a high level of confidence in their abilities with the boat. All in all a great trip, with almost perfect weather and we very much hope to return again.

I have been visiting Antigua since 2000 and always enjoy our visits to the Island. This was our 2nd stay at Blue Waters in the last 3 years and had another wonderful stay with my family.

The service and staff at the hotel are excellent, everyone is friendly and helpful. Tramaine at Veronica's bar is a gem and our boys enjoyed numerous trips out on the boat and sailing with the water sports team who are always in high spirits.

Well appointed rooms and as there are so many private pools and access to 3 beaches, that is is quiet and tranquil, we had a lot of privacy but the staff always remained attentive and helpful.

The restaurants also provide a good level of variety for a 10+ day stay and the kids club allowed my wife and I to relax and go sailing - the all inclusive package felt like good value compared to other hotels we have visited too.

Another amazing trip and we are all looking forward to going back again.

We visited Blue Waters as a family in July 2026. The hotel really is lovely in lots of ways and there are some wonderful members of staff. The location is fabulous, on a gorgeous beach with very well kept grounds. The water sports available are varied and the people who work in the water sports centre are great, very knowledgable and fun. The service across the rest of the hotel is a bit hit and miss. The staff in the Palm restaurant were wonderful, so warm and friendly. However, we had a very below average meal one night at the Cove with forgotten drinks, overcooked steak and inattentive service. When we mentioned that the steak was overcooked the server rolled her eyes. After that the staff stood around chatting and ignored us, rather than take our dessert order. On the end we just left. The reception staff were generally friendly and helpful although one member of staff was fairly stand-offish and seemed quite disinterested. We stayed in one of the Cove suites and the room was lovely. However, the entranceway and communal hall was quite tired looking, often with empty glasses and plates adorning the surfaces.
One of our party became unwell with diarrhoea and sickness and was completely out of action, bedridden for 2 days. We are not sure of the cause of this. There was generally a lovely atmosphere around the resort with the other guests however some unfortunately lowered the tone considerably, loudly belching and vaping around the pool. Overall we had a good time but with a number of improvements we could have had a great time.
