The Cove Suites at Blue Waters | Antigua, Caribbean | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Antigua, Caribbean

5+ stars

Located on the Northwest tip of Antigua, the Cove Suites are part of the Blue Waters resort, offering luxurious all-inclusive accommodation within easy reach of the hotel’s outstanding range of facilities. Set in 5 acres of tropical landscaped garden, the lavish suites offer island-inspired décor, spacious living areas, and spectacular ocean views. Cove guests can enjoy exclusive access to four infinity-edged swimming pools, and the Cove Restaurant is right next door, with a gourmet menu that’s well-esteemed by locals. When you can drag yourself away from your idyllic surrounds, it’s time to explore what Blue Waters has to offer – a truly superb hotel, renowned for its high standards of service, and with activities galore – including an 18-hole golf course just 5 minutes away! Watersports are complimentary, so try your hand at windsurfing, kayaking, and snorkelling, or hop onboard a Hobie Cat and sail the high seas. Enjoy a peaceful dinner in one of two restaurants – one of which is located in the main hotel, Blue Waters – before enjoying live entertainment, which is offered most evenings. Afterwards, relax with a nightcap in the Pelican Bar until it’s time to return to your suite to retire in luxury. For something even more special, treat yourself to a stay in one of the Cove’s four exquisite Penthouse Suites, each beautifully appointed, with three bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea.

“Came for a week for a friends wedding”

Sep 16, 2025Tara F

There are pluses and minuses for this resort. Staff is lovely for the most part but somehow the service is quite slow. The food has been great again for the most part but don’t be in a rush when sitting down for a meal! The wedding coordinator was outstanding! Not one complaint! It’s the slow season and things should be getting into tip top shape but they aren’t. Outdoor shower at the main pool doesn’t work. We had to ask for towel refills more than once. The water station near our room doesn’t have cold water and we asked about that more than once as well.

“Amazing”

“Family rest, watersports fun”

Aug 30, 2025Kevin R

Special thanks to Nicole for looking after us when one of us got ill, and for checking in. She was especially kind to my son. Those details matter. Great time with water sports, WiFi was intermittent. AI so could skip the prices in restaurants, food was good if limited for kids. Staff were hot about tips even on AI so take some dollars, it is easier. Boasts of being the best resort on island, can believe. Staff were very friendly, a great few days to switch off.
