The hotel

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.

We usually don’t write a review, however as we sit in The Palm bar, waiting to leave this fabulous resort, my wife and I felt compelled to. We have just completed an 11 night stay in a Deluxe Beachfront Villa. The view over the azure sea is amazing. We went all inclusive and it proved to be good value, the dining experience in all restaurants is very good. The staff were fantastic always smiling and keen to please. A special mention to Gavi and Tramaine in Veronica’s bar, Brian T in the Palm bar and banana bread Dera at breakfast, such beautiful people. The reception team and Nicole always there to assist and the Manager Kevin, supremely professional. The measure of a holiday is whether you would return……..we’ll be back. Anna & John - London.

This was our first visit to Antigua—and to Blue Waters—and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Our suite (802) was spacious, beautifully appointed, and spotlessly clean, complete with its own plunge pool. The “all‑you‑can‑consume” mini‑bar was an especially nice touch.

This was our first visit to Antigua—and to Blue Waters—and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Our suite (802) was spacious, beautifully appointed, and spotlessly clean, complete with its own plunge pool. The “all‑you‑can‑consume” mini‑bar was an especially nice touch. We were on an all‑inclusive package and thoroughly enjoyed the food and beverage offerings, particularly at The Reef and Veronica’s Bar. Our children made full use of the complimentary water sports, spending time each day kayaking and paddle boarding. The service from the staff was consistently outstanding, and above all, we appreciated that the resort never felt crowded. It created a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere throughout our stay. We will definitely be returning. Read less

Our group, 2 couples with their children (4-7 years old), shared a beautiful penthouse villa for a week this February. Property grounds were perfectly maintained with many pools, beachfront loungers and secluded spaces to enjoy. There is room for friends, couples, solo, and family travelers without feeling too large to navigate. The all-inclusive package was well worth the investment; each bar and restaurant delivered fantastic meals and great selection of drinks, including non alcoholic options. Our favorite aspect was the staff. Each team member was a pleasure to connect with, no matter their role. Many thanks to these amazing hosts, especially Nicole for managing us! Thank you for sharing Antigua! Read less
