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.

There is nothing about this hotel that is short of excellent. Of course the location is very good and the hotel has its own private beach, all the rooms have a wonderful view of the ocean but above all it is the staff that make the experience for guests nothing less than fantastic. The restaurants offer a very varied choice of food, beautifully cooked and presented. This was our second visit to Blue Waters and we will have no hesitation returning. Congratulations to the owner and all the staff, without exception, who play their part to make this a very special place.

Fabulous Service
Dec 16, 2024YNW64London
Super friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us. A highlight was our private snorkeling trip in the hotel boat. We swam with turtles and rays. Saw new coral and so many fish. Also a very special mention to Nicole who did all in her power to ensure we had a truly special holiday. We will return.

A lovely small resort and an excellent alternative to a larger chain. Manager Nicole took very good care of us; she runs a tight ship and bears a striking resemblance to Carolina Herrera. The cove restaurant is excellent. Snorkelling expeditions are limited by date, so do plan ahead. Try not to feel too bad when you hand in your key at check out.

We have just returned from our sixth visit to Blue Waters and have already booked to return. From the moment you arrive you feel relaxed and at home. The staff greet you like old friends and cannot do enough for you. You arrive to a cold towel and welcome drink served with a smile. The whole resort is well presented and the gardens are immaculate and a peaceful haven to walk around and admire. There are plenty of seats / benches to relax and enjoy the sun or shade when the sun is at its peak. There is good entertainment every night which finishes at a reasonable hour so you can get a good nights rest, ready to start the new day. There are 3 restaurants with great food and we stayed 2 weeks and never had the same dish twice as there is so much variety. As you will see from the great reviews already published, the staff are the main asset to this resort and we echo this. Pearle, Adrian, Steven, Dera, Sparkel, Tremaine, Ryan the list goes on and on. The staff are amazing and cannot do enough to make your holiday the best you could wish for! A special mention must be given to Nicole who is an amazing manager and works tirelessly to make your holiday dreams come true and always has a smile for you whatever the time of day. Working in a public facing industry ourselves we understand how hard the hospitality industry is, long hours, hard work, people moaning when the sun is not out etc etc. but the Blue Waters staff go above and beyond to make your holiday the best it can be and always greet you by your name and with a smile. Many guests return year after year and we are asked - why return, there are so many places in the world to visit- we always answer, nowhere we have ever visited makes us relax as we walk through the door, forget our troubles and stresses, feel like family and makes us smile from the moment we arrive to the moment we leave. The island is magical and Blue Waters is the dream
Resort. We cannot wait to return to our Blue waters family and we wish them all a very happy festive period and a prosperous new year.
