After reading such good reviews about Blue Waters - after just coming back after a week's stay, I wondered whether we were staying at the wrong Blue Waters!! We would describe it as 'distinctly average' and on some occasions that would be kind! Some of the staff were excellent.
Others were either rude or indifferent - especially the reception staff. Overall we felt that the hotel was being run for the convenience of the management, rather than the guest!! Minor requests were treated as an inconvenience or on several occasions ignored! Be warned: deluxe double room that we stayed in bore no relation to the deluxe double shown in the Blue Waters brochure!! We won't be back and talking to quite a few other guests during our stay, they felt the same.

I am so surprised by most of your reviews of Blue Waters - we have just returned from a holiday in Antigua, where we spent one week at Galley Bay, and the second week at Blue Waters. Oh that it had been the other way round! Blue Waters simply cannot compete with Galley Bay in most respects - only the food was comparable. Blue Waters was too compact for us - squashed onto this tiny overcrowded beach. The worst aspect of our stay was the difference between the staff of both hotels. If you want true friendly, considerate and attentive staff, choose Galley Bay; the Blue Waters' staff appeared distracted and overworked for much of the time, probably because there were not enough of them. Perhaps we chose the wrong time of year - the hotel was full and that must make a difference, I suppose. But I would still rate Blue Waters the least favourite resort we have sampled (out of four).

We stayed at Blue Waters for our honeymoon, for 2 weeks in October.
From the moment we stepped into the Hotel we knew it was something special, we were greeted by welcoming staff and offered fruit or rum punches, whilst they arranged our room and the porters to take the luggage. We had a deluxe beachfront room, overlooking the pool and the sea and the amazing lush tropical gardens fringed with palm trees and tropical flowers. The staff were hepful, friendly and very polite and couldn't do enough to help you, it was wonderful to sit on the beautiful peaceful beach and have the staff serve you drinks, whilst you just relaxed. Breakfast was great consisting of a buffet style with every breakfast item you can think of, lunch was great which you chose from a standard menu although twice a week it was a buffet style, we preferred this as you could just get bits of everything you wanted.
Dining in the Pam restaurant or Vivyiens where the food was excellent, having something different every night, I thought it may be a problem for me, as I don't like seafood and there is a lot of this on the menu, however there was always other dishes and vegetarian options and I can honestly say I enjoyed every single meal. The hotel has only 77 rooms making it feel very intimate and select, the Pelican Bar is loveley for having a pre dinner cocktail before dining, whilst listening to the live entertainment, be it a local steel band or an excellent Antigual group. The cleanliness was excellent throughout and I would highly recommend this Hotel to anyone wishing for a peaceful, intimate taste of paradise. We are already saving for next year. Thankyou Blue waters for a wonderful honeymoon.
