We have recently returned from our wonderful wedding at Blue Waters. The whole event was held very professionally, Blue Waters only allows one wedding a day, so you are made to feel very special. The accomodation, facilities, restaurants and staff are all of 5 star standard. We will be going back to this corner of paradise very soon

We stayed at Blue Waters for our honeymoon and we had a fantastic time. We requested the block 100 (based on the reviews) before we arrived via the internet and by telephone, but when we arrived we were allocated a different block; after a quick word with reception they soon had us back in block 100 (room 111) and we were delighted. This block of rooms have been refurbed throughout and provide a modern walk-in shower, white linen, modern furniture, LCD TVs and remote air con etc. But the main benefit that is so great about these rooms are the views over the beach & sea, (which makes waiting for your wife to get ready quite bearable). The mini bar was stocked daily if you remembered to put out your order and the rooms were always cleaned superbly and always done by 3pm at the latest. We spent our first week during the day on the decked area, just by the beach bar and the swimming pool, then the second week on the beach. You could always get a place on either and even though I was normally up by 8pm, even if you didn't put your towels down then and went to breakfast first, there were still always beds available. The sea was sometimes a bit murky but other days beautiful turquoise and we did have the odd jellyfish but just ask the jet ski man to remove them and he will! The food was very good in both the restaurants, i will agree with a a couple of other reviews that if you have lobster you dont want it covered in cheese (and they did seem to love a bit of cheese) and medium rare came more medium, but on the whole Viviens and Palm you couldn't fault. Lunches were very good as well, you have the choice of either burgers, baguettes around the pool or a more substantial menu in Palm. Entertainment was ok, they had a band most evenings, but we met such a great group of people over the two weeks we made our own entertainment (Hi to everyone we met, Chris & Natalie here)! and the goups we were with were normally the last to leave in the evening, bar shut about 11.45pm. Shirley Heights is a must and its worth getting up there for the BBQ and sunset and we we went on the Wadidli Catemeran round the island (speak to Elvis on the beach for all your trips) which is worth it, if you don't get sea-sick.

All in all we had a fantastic honeymoon which was made by the people we met, a great hotel with good staff and two weeks of sunshine. We have stayed in similar class hotels all over the Carribean and I would certainly recommend BW. Enjoy!!!! (if you have any questions please feel free to email me)

When you think it can't get any better, you stay at a hotel like Blue Waters, Antigua! We were there from 7/15-22,2005 when Emily was to the north/west of us. Despite the threat of thunderstorms daily, the weather was beautiful.........as was this pick for us. We've been to around 6 islands in the Caribbean and Bahamas, staying in the best hotels/resorts. Blue Waters is up there with the world's finest. Our room, in the 100 block, had the most splendid ocean views. We fell asleep to the sounds of crickets and surf....and greeted the morning with light streaming in and waves upon the shore just yards from our room. The hotel is 77 rooms, 20+ acres of beautifullly manicured grounds replete with hibiscus, palms, etc.....aesthetically designed where every angle is picture perfect......You wouldn't say I'm at all biased? The food at the hotel, as well on this island itself, is wholesome, beautifully presented, good sized portions and sumptuous. Fine dining is very important to us, and New York has nothing over this 15x20 island.Our favorites included: Vyvien's( the hotel's Air Conditioned restaurant), reservations necessary, Coconut Grove, Le Bistro, and The Beach. We could write an entire critique on restaurants alone.
Re: service, we have no complaints. Whenever we asked for anything, the staff responded quickly. They were very accomodating.....We also met a driver who took care of our transport needs, since we didn't rent a car.
Since our stay is off-season, the beach, though very small, suited our needs. It was not overly crowded. There are also 3 pools, so there are options. You could also go beach hopping without a problem, should you want to snorkel or sunbathe elsewhere.

We loved The Blue Waters, and will definitely return to holiday. We were very comfortable there and had everything we need when on vacation.......For us, it was rest and relaxation, something we both crave after our stressful work lives.

We have just returned from our stay at Blue Waters in the Caribbean. This hotel is moderately sized and this gives the staff the opportunity to attend to details and pamper its' guests. We adored our junior suite facing the water and the food in both restuarants was outstanding. The beaches were equipped with comfortable lounges and ample shade, if needed. The water is a mix of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean which provides
a beautiful background for the well tended gardens, gazebos and three pools. If peace and quiet are important to you, this hotel provides that. However, there many chances for outings, exercise, evening entertainment and shopping in nearby St. John. About 90% of the other guests were British, so there is a decidedly British atmosphere. We have visited ten islands in the Caribbean and this was, by far, the most enjoyable trip of them all. We will defintely be returning.
