Blue Waters, Antigua
Introduction
This popular resort sees many guests return year after year, drawn by
its friendly staff, lively ambience and the seclusion of the palm-edged
bay with its twin beaches.
The resort’s position on the island’s north western tip brings superb
sunset views, picturesquely framed by Soldiers Bay. These are best
experienced, cocktail in hand, at the poolside or in the Pelican piano bar,
named after the birds that swoop across the bay. As well as nightly
entertainment on the ivories, a steel band often plays after dinner,
while a weekly cocktail party provides a further opportunity to get to
know fellow guests.
Dinner might be a buffet or table d’hôte meal in the alfresco Palm
Restaurant overlooking the sea, or a supper of freshly caught fish in
the more intimate à la carte Vyviens. While most guests choose the
All-Inclusive option, the hotel’s flexible meal plan means that all
preferences can be met.
Set in 17 acres of tropical gardens, all 104 rooms have a private balcony
or patio with views of the gardens, pool or sea. Cool tiled floors and rattan
furniture create an airy Caribbean feel, enhanced by modcons such as air
conditioning, fridges and cable TV. Pick of the crop are the two Luxury
Suites, featuring a separate living room and located a shell’s throw from
the beach, and Rock Cottage (see below).
The hotel’s numerous facilities include tennis, a gym and three
freshwater pools and a Jacuzzi. The sheltered bay is perfect for learning non-motorised
water sports such as windsurfing and sailing, while additional diversions
(available at an extra cost) include deep-sea fishing, paragliding, horse
riding, spa treatments and golf at the nearby 18-hole course.
Rock Cottage
Perched on a rocky outcrop at one end of the bay, Rock Cottage is an
extremely private villa with its own staff and boat mooring. Four/five
en suite bedrooms, including two master bedrooms with luxury
bathrooms and a fifth smaller en suite bedroom suitable for one adult
or two children; a sitting room with TV and CD/DVD players and a
fully-equipped kitchen make this a genuine home from home, while the
outdoor dining area is a lovely spot for barbecues and alfresco meals.
A plunge pool/Jacuzzi on the sun deck adds an extra touch of luxury.
