Just checking out from the most amazing, relaxing week we’ve had. Blue Waters exceeded our expectations. The staff are incredible, always politely greeting, taking care of anything my family of 4 needed. The resort is small and so calm and relaxing

Pros:

Poor beach and not all facilities open depending on when you come. Cove suites are brilliant and beautiful grounds. Food ok but quality could be better. Sad that you cannot get onto Blue Waters Beach….unbelievable.

Pros:

While overall friendly staff and passable food the building and rooms are run down. It maybe the island generally, but in a global standard the hotel doesn’t come close to a five star resort. More of a four star that need refurbishment. All in all we had a good stay but not value for money

Blue Waters is a beautiful property! The staff was incredible and personal attention to detail was amazing. I booked 4 rooms in one of the Cove Suites to celebrate my 60th birthday with family/friends. We will definitely return!

Beautiful property and beaches. However, quality of food and quality of service was disappointing. We had to put a complain to resort manager because we could not find beach towels

Pros:

We stayed for a week here and loved it. For us, the best part was the spectacular view of the sea from our Cove Suite room 2B, we were fairly close to the sea and had an absolutely clear view of it. Watching the sunsets from our balcony was also lovely. We thought the views from any of the 2nd floor rooms in Cove Villa 1, 2 or 3 would be as nice. The Cove suite rooms are lovely, very spacious and comfortable.
The 3 beaches are all a little small, but very nice; the sea is quite peaceful, the water is warm and you can walk out quite a ways and still be only chest-deep. As other reviewers have mentioned, sometime hard to find an empty beach chair.
All 3 restaurants are good, we would rank Cove as the best one, followed by Palm, followed by Reef. Cove is more of a fine dining experience, while Reef is more beach casual, with Palm somewhere in between. We also had a wonderful dinner (roast pork being the highlight) on the beach one night. You need to reserve tables a few days in advance, specially at the Cove. All of them are situated well in terms of looking out at the water. We were on the all-inclusive plan, but the a la carte prices for the restaurant are not crazily expensive, on our next visit we are not sure whether we will go in for the all-inclusive.
The staff here are just wonderful, we would particularly like to thank Derah and Sparkel at the Palm, Kia at different bars and the Cove villa 2 housekeeper.
All in all, a lovely relaxing vacation, we will be back!

Still a great trip
Pros:

Property was great. Views were beautiful. Some of the pool furnishings are worn. Food is ok. The cove restaurant is an amazing atmosphere but not worth the extra price. The same ice cream is double the price in the cove. Also-Service is very slow in the restaurants.

Pros:

My husband and I recently stayed at Blue Waters and overall we had a good time. The resort itself is a beautiful property and the staff is super friendly and accommodating.
The beach is small but super clean so many pools to lounge around throughout the property. The only downfall about this resort was the food. They only have two main restaurants to choose from with very minimal options to pick from, especially for the price that you are paying. Room service also has minimal options and ends at 10:00pm. We’ve been to many 5 start resorts and unfortunately I wouldn't classify this resort as one.

Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay at Blue Waters. The property was beautiful and well maintained, the staff was amazing (it is almost unfair to single any one person out because everyone was terrific, but Nicole and Karen were very helpful), and the food and drinks were great. The property is a little out of the way, and there are no nearby walkable options, but we enjoyed the quiet.

Pros:

What’s not to like about Blue Waters??? My second trip and won’t be my last.

Upgrade to a Cove Suite if you can. Beautiful interior design and spacious with a balcony or patio overlooking the sea. “Private” pool for the villa - 6 suites and a penthouse per villa. Not every suite was occupied so often had pool to myself.

Three other beautiful pools on property for all guests. The beach is small but lovely. No issue getting chairs and umbrellas.

Food is excellent (get the all inclusive, it’s worth it) especially at dinner. Delicious and lovely presentation.

Staff is amazing!! Everyone is friendly and helpful. Can’t say enough good things about them!

Spa is wonderful - had a great massage.

Resort is quiet. Had an amazing singer one night and a piano player another. Not a lot of entertainment like larger resorts but I go to relax.

Highly recommend.
