First off, a little background on my wife and I so you can understand where we’re coming from. We’re 29 and 30 respectively. We travel a lot for business, so we’re constantly staying in different hotels. Since they’re business trips paid for by large companies, more often then not we’re put in 4-5 star hotels – Westins, Hiltons, Hyatts, etc.. So we’ve come to expect a lot in terms of service. We chose the Blue Waters because it was the 1st week of our honeymoon and we wanted that week to be more “relaxed”. The 2nd week was spent at a Sandals resort in St. Lucia.
Rooms
The room we got (room 511) was beachfront – but somewhat small. It was always clean, with a stocked fridge (although not as cold as I personally like my drinks). But they had ice available, so you can chill it down at any time.
Pools
The pools were wonderful, rarely are people swimming in them, not too cold. It’s perfect for a dip to relax from the hot sun. The hot tub was much to be desired. Why? It was the same temperature as the pool. Maybe it’s an Antiguan thing?
Food/Drinks
The food and drinks were amazing. 4-5 star quality compared to American restaurants. Our worst experience with food was breakfast in general, but it was still good.
Employees
I found the employees to be rather short and not very friendly. Maybe we’re paranoid, but we believe it had to due with the fact that we were younger than the average guest there (I’d guess the average age of guests there to be mid-50’s).
Spa
The spa was the one drawback to this place. My wife had a pedicure, and said she got a better pedicure at one of the Asian places she goes to in the United States – for 1/3 of the price too. I had a massage and the woman’s hands were rough and callous. We don’t recommend the spa.
Overall
Overall, this is a great resort to go to, unwind, relax, and enjoy good food. If you’re less than 40 years old and are American, you will be in the minority BIG TIME. I’d guess the average age of the guests were mid 50’s. Not really a problem if you’re just going to unwind – I just felt awkward at times when we were noticeably so much younger. All in all, a great resort.
