Testimonials 

"On Antigua I also stayed at the Blue Waters resort……it has lovely secluded beach coves, seven freshwater pools, 17 acres of lush tropical gardens and, best of all, it offers ultra-luxurious Cove Suites. As a connoisseur of great views and spacious terraces, I luxuriated in both!"

-Bruno Tonioli

 

"It’s wonderful to arrive at a destination which somehow manages to capture the comfort of home and the feeling of being far away from your familiar. You are immediately in the moment when you arrive at Blue Waters. It’s relaxed atmosphere, warm, accommodating staff, stunning views were a welcome to my spirit. There’s plenty to do or as little as you please. Either direction will leave you with a satisfied smile on your face."

- Angela Bassett

 

"Antigua has to be my favourite of all the Caribbean islands.  The beaches are picture perfect, the people are welcoming, and the water is so inviting.  Plus only one word really describes the setting of Rock Cottage at Blue Waters Antigua - paradise.  From every direction, all you see are miles of blue sea and brilliant sky.  The resort is simply a stunning spot.  In fact, Antigua has to be one of the most tranquil places I've visited and I've visited a lot of places.  I'm already planning my next stay".

- John Barrowman
