Smoke in paradise!
Lynne L on Apr 02, 2024
Just returned from a four-night stay at Blue Waters. We enjoyed it very much, with one exception: They do NOT have a no-smoking policy and the resort is heavily frequented by Brits, who appear to think it's fashionable to smoke (and smoke and smoke) in public. Arrgh! However, if you don't mind getting cancer, Blue Waters may be your place. Read on for pros and cons. PROS: A beautiful spot, rising up a rocky hillside from a beautiful beach, with another cove area replete with pelicans. Lovely, mature grounds and nice, if a bit worn and dated, decor (see cons, below). Food and service were excellent here! In fact, they surpassed a much more expensive luxe resort we went to after our Blue Waters stay. Food was plentiful, tasty, fresh, well prepared and ran the gamut from fun buffets (Bloody Mary bar at breakfast!!) to romantic candlelit dinners. We upgraded to a private house (half of Pelican Cottage) and it was stocked with snacks and booze. Wine was a fail, but it was a fail at the luxe property, too. The staff were incredibly friendly, sweet and fun. Everyone, even the groundskeepers. It was my 60th birthday and word got around, so I was cheerily greeted with "Happy birthday" everywhere I went. Staff also noted requests I had made in advance and made every effort -- successfully -- to accommodate. Not sure who gets the credit, but Blue Waters rocks in the service department. We had a concierge, Nicole, dedicated to help with out stay. What a hard worker! She even chased away particularly pesky smokers so I could enjoy our private pool without anaphylaxis. Give Nicole a raise! Overall, the people are Blue Waters' secret sauce. Each evening had live entertainment of a different sort, and we loved it. Very talented musicians that really added to the ambiance. CONS: Very few, other than the smoking. This is an older property, and many of the beachfront rooms date from the 1960s or 1970s. Some wear and tear, and the decor wasn't world-class, but it was good enough. The watersports shop needs some work. It seemed whenever we wanted to do something, it wasn't open, or all equipment was rented. Overall, though, Blue Waters is a nice place with great food and people.
Relaxing stay

I have been meaning to write a review of our stay over Christmas. We had a lovely stay here which says a lot since I was with my sister in law and my husband’s family. The stay was very easy and the staff were lovely. The service was some of the best I’ve experienced in the Caribbean. I liked that the kids were able to play tennis and pickleball daily before heading to the beach. In a side note, they gave out cute bags to the guests as Christmas presents and my horrible sister in law took mine for her young daughter. The head of the hotel totally got it and worked hard to located another bag for me. Thank you. Yes I know it was a petty request on my part but it made me happy.
