Blue Waters Resort & Spa | Antigua, Caribbean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Antigua, Caribbean

5 stars

This is a truly superb recently refreshed hotel with elegant surroundings, outstanding service and an enviable location on two white sand beaches lapped by gentle aqua waves, epitomising the Caribbean fantasy. The 17 tropical acres of gardens are beautifully tended and each of the buildings is romantically draped with brightly coloured bougainvillea — just adding to the delightful ambience. There's plenty to do during the day and you'll no doubt be tempted on to the beach by one of a generous array of water sports. Table tennis is popular and there's an 18-hole golf course 5 minutes away. Wind down in the evening (if you haven't done so already!) with a delicious coconut crush — liberally splashed with local rum — while you watch pelicans dive and swoop for their meals. Your dinner can be taken at one of the hotel's gourmet restaurants, complimented with an excellent Claret from the wine list. An amazing holiday experience.

“Exceptional Hospitality and Truly Personalized Service”

Aug 29, 2026Eissa E

A Truly Exceptional Stay at Blue Waters Our five-day stay at Blue Waters Resort & Spa was truly wonderful and exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality. The resort was beautifully maintained, exceptionally clean, and the level of service and attention throughout our stay was outstanding. What impressed us most was the way the team genuinely listened to our requests and continuously followed up to make sure that we and our family were comfortable and enjoying our stay. Nothing felt like “just another request”; everything was taken seriously and handled with care and professionalism. A very special thank you goes to Nicole, who looked after us throughout the entire five days. She was constantly checking on us, following up on our requests, and making sure that everything was taken care of. Her kindness, personal attention, and genuine concern for our comfort made a real difference to our experience. We would also like to sincerely thank Chef Michael, who took exceptional care of all our dining requirements. He personally followed up with us, prepared a special meal plan for our family, and made every effort to accommodate our preferences. His attention and flexibility made us feel genuinely valued as guests. For us, this level of personal care says a great deal about Blue Waters. A truly refined resort is not defined only by its beautiful location or facilities, but by how seriously it listens to its guests and how much effort it makes to accommodate their individual needs. This is something we experienced at Blue Waters at a level we have rarely, if ever, found elsewhere. Our sincere thanks to Nicole, Chef Michael, and the entire Blue Waters team for making our family holiday so memorable. We leave Antigua with wonderful memories and very much hope to return in the future — not just once, but for many more visits. Thank you, Blue Waters, for an exceptional stay.

“Fabulous week away”

Aug 28, 2026HLE257

We have just returned from a wonderful week at Blue Waters. 2 adults and our 5 year old, we had a deluxe beachfront room. Room was lovely, the view and the hotel grounds were stunning. If she was much older though id opt for a cove suite as it would be a little snug. Our daughter enjoyed the childrens club, the ladies in there were fantastic (Tiffany and Abigail). We ate at the cove numerous times and it was our favourite, the food and service were great and the views spectacular. Breakfast at the Palm was good and Derah in particular was fantastic and so welcoming. We usually had lunch at the reef which was also great. All of the restaurant staff were great at understanding eating with little ones (they would always put her order in immediately so she wasn't waiting). We did have one disappointment where our final night was our wedding anniversary, and only one restaurant was open (The Palm) and they were doing a buffet. We spoke with Cameron the Food and Beverage Manager who then arranged a special private dinner overlooking the ocean for us instead and it was superb. Overall, fantastic service, stunning location and great food.

“Magical Family Vacation - Book It!”

Aug 23, 2026Elisabeth R

Blue Waters was MAGICAL. We traveled with our two small boys and stayed in one of the luxury suites, and I truly cannot say enough about how much we loved this vacation. The layout of the resort is perfection, especially with young kids. Everything is close and easy to get to. There is an area near one of the larger pools where the beach, pool, bar, and restroom are all within a super short walk of each other. This may sound like a small thing, but with two little kids, it was HUGE. Our suite was also in the perfect location. We had access to a smaller, almost private pool that was shared with only a handful of other guests in our building. We would spend the morning and early afternoon at the larger resort pools and beach, head back to the room for naptime, and then literally walk right outside for a late-afternoon swim before getting ready for dinner. It was SO easy and relaxing. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and the food was fantastic. The seafood was so incredibly fresh and delicious that it may ruin seafood back home for you! The staff overall was incredibly kind and welcoming. We did have a couple of interactions with staff members who weren't quite as friendly, but honestly, they were easy to overlook given how spectacular everything else was. One unexpected part of the trip that we absolutely loved was meeting so many guests from the UK. I'm American and didn't realize before our trip that Blue Waters is owned by a UK family, and there were quite a few British families and couples staying at the resort. Getting to know them genuinely made the trip for us. We met some wonderful people and had so much fun with them. I could go on and on. We made so many core memories here, and I cannot wait to return one day. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Blue Waters. If this resort has made your short list, BOOK IT! You will make some amazing memories here
