While overall friendly staff and passable food the building and rooms are run down. It maybe the island generally, but in a global standard the hotel doesn’t come close to a five star resort. More of a four star that need refurbishment. All in all we had a good stay but not value for money

Still a great trip

Property was great. Views were beautiful. Some of the pool furnishings are worn. Food is ok. The cove restaurant is an amazing atmosphere but not worth the extra price. The same ice cream is double the price in the cove. Also-Service is very slow in the restaurants.

Perfect Spot for Family Vacation

Blue Waters was the perfect spot for our family spring vacation trip. Big enough to have the infrastructure and services of a larger resort but small enough to feel intimate. Staff was fantastic and the resort never felt crowded. Food was excellent, especially the Cove.
