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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This resort was quiet with breath taking view. It was beautiful. Beach is small but we went in during off season (September) so wasn’t many people at the resort. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. Staff ocassionally came to the beqch to offer drinks and fruit. Beach had some area with seaweed and others that had the softest sand ever. Food was excellent. Drinks were on the stronger side. Because there wasn’t that many people at the resort they opened one restaurant each night. Enjoyed the food at all of them! The only downside was the aggressive birds at breakfast. They didn’t eat your food off the plate while you were sitting there but if left unattended they would have a feast. Room was slightly outdated but the view of the ocean was amazing Welcome to the hotel was a little lackluster but the staff was overall friendly. Matthew, Violet and Edison made our stay pleasurable

My family and I went there to celebrate my mom's birthday in a low-key manner, since my dad suddenly passed on Valentine's Day. Kina was great about ensuring that her day was special with the tables nicely set up with flowers and lavender placemats for each of our meals. My mom felt happy because she did not want any singing but just a tranquil day with family. Kina also hosted us for our first dinner - she was so sweet, pleasant, professional, attentive and hospitable. Additionally, Takeshi was also one of our servers throughout our stay and she was always so sweet and attentive. Jeniece, Rachel and Kyla were also very accommodating and a pleasure to interact with throughout our stay. Stephan was always very helpful and pleasant when we approached him at the front desk. Last but not least - Christopher was also very helpful and friendly when he greeted us on our first day while taking us to our rooms and when picking up our luggage on our day of departure. Overall, we appreciated the staff, accommodations, facilities and healthy seafood dishes. It was a self-care getaway that my family and I most needed with the loss of my dad. Thank you Blue Waters Resort & Spa for making our vacation so memorable!!
