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 came back for a 2nd year in a row, and enjoyed it again. The view from the 2nd floor of the Cove Villas 1,2,3 is just spectacular, and each villa having its own pool is also nice.

We came back for a 2nd year in a row, and enjoyed it again. The view from the 2nd floor of the Cove Villas 1,2,3 is just spectacular, and each villa having its own pool is also nice. The food is very good, all 3 restaurants were excellent, with the Cove being the best. The staff all over the resort is just so nice and friendly, they really make you feel welcome. Some staff members in particular we would like to thank are Cameron (food and beverages manager), Annia, Sparkle and Derah at Palm who made our breakfast there every morning so much more enjoyable, Del at water sports who gave a really great sailing lesson to my wife, Carez (the bartender at the Cove) who made delicious cocktails, and a special thanks to the General Manager Kevin who moved us half-way through our stay to the kind of room we wanted. The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that despite our being repeat guests and clearly indicating twice the kind of room we wanted in the Cove Villas (a 2nd floor room) they put us in a Ground floor room, and it was only because Kevin (the General Manager) kindly interceded on our behalf that we were moved after 3 days. Blue Waters is such a wonderful place and we have such high expectations of it, that we would have thought that they would have been able to figure this out from the start. Read less

Fantastic stay. The rooms were gorgeous, the views incredible, the beach pristine, the restaurant was very impressive, and the service and hospitality were top-notch.

A beautiful part of Anita However every time I shower the bathroom becomes a river, the floors are like a skating rink, the food is mediocre and not a lot of choice when staff were told nothing was done Will not come back
