Blue Water Resort

Another great visit for our family, the 8th summer in a row! The house that we stayed in is perfect for us, with plenty of space and a full kitchen for family meals. We love the pools, the gorgeous private beach, and the beautifully updated beach house. We enjoy the convenience of having towels and beach umbrellas provided, and the front desk responds immediately to every question and request. The kids enjoyed many of the activities provided, including the magic show and the peek-a-zoo. It is the perfect vacation spot for us, we look forward to it every summer!

The beach is pretty and that’s it! First it’s a 4 o’clock check in and my room was ready at 4 o’clock. Entering my ocean view room the hallway smelt and was very dirty. Upon entering a small room I was disappointed. The bathroom was small and smelt like urine. The queen bed looked nice but the sheets were rough and the bed was uncomfortable. The air conditioner worked well but it sounded like a tanker truck was plowing into the wall all night. The beach bar is ok be aware the 20% tip is included and drinks are average. Beach bar food menu is very limited and food is less than fair. I didn’t eat at Jonah’s restaurant located on site but I heard the food is not good. The resort has the nerve to charge 25 dollars a night for parking on site. I guess 450 dollars plus tax and resort fees are not enough they need to squeeze 25 extra a night. I’ve been to the Blue Water Resort before many years ago and this place went down hill. Just my opinion but I hope to save someone a few dollars. Look around before booking. I’ll give it one to two stars and that’s only for the ocean. P.S lounge chairs are ripping and towels are old.

We loved the location. The staff was great. The parking was dicey and if you had a SUV forget about parking near the main building. The cleaning staff did a great job and didn't always replenish the water and no K-cup replenishment during our stay. The room wasn't working and the maintenance resolved the issue immediately. We loved having our pets with us but little room for them to play. The DJ was awesome and friendly and the drinks were good but pricey. All in all a good Vacation for our family and would likely recommend the location.

We love going to this resort. It’s perfect for our family. The bunk bed room is always a big hit. The kids love all the activities all day and they feel safe and confident about moving around the resort. Can’t wait till next year!!

We enjoyed our long weekend. Plenty of restaurants in the area. Nice location with restaurants and mini golf in the area. Our room was a king and a queen bed. It was clean. Check in was easy and they were pleasant. The grounds has lots of flowers and well taken care of. The beach is nice with chairs and umbrellas with lots of space. We were up early and on the beach. Many chairs were being held with towels. However disappointing non guests are allowed to use beach chairs and amenities. It made for parking challenges with anyone free to park in lots. We came back from lunch one day and asked the attendant where to park. She told us to go find public parking. We saw many people coming from public area or parking in resort spaces and walking up to beach and taking chairs or bringing their own. Then taking their own beach chairs and parking them right in front of loungers or guests of the resort. I thought that was strange to be allowed. We saw this each day. But for guests you get wrist band when checking in. Not sure why since they allow anyone to use amenities. Locals know this as we heard others talking about it. Needs to be remedied. Overall enjoyed our stay and hope things will be fixed for next time.

Resort is great overall. The beach is beautiful. Staff is always attentive, helpful and friendly. They go out of their way to fulfill special requests if possible as well. Our only complaints were about the recent “upgrades”. Many of the rooms now have a set of bunk beds squeezed into the same space that used to be a regular room. The remaining space is extremely small and cramped. Rooms no longer have nightstands on either side of the bed. Only 1 is provided, meaning the other person has to find another place to keep personal items. Another big drawback is the lack of proper refrigerators. The coolers provided are wine fridges and they only reach 12 C or 54 F. This temp is not safe for cold food storage. No freezer compartment either. We used to eat lunch on the beach from the snack bar. They used to serve a nice variety of hot and cold items, including lobster rolls. Now all they serve are tacos and a couple of children’s meals. The pub used to be a full service restaurant. Now it’s limited breakfast, and pizza for lunch or dinner. We didn’t eat at the resort at all because of the poor food selections available. One additional issue was regarding beach chairs and umbrellas. There should be sufficient quantities for resort guests. But on the weekends, they run out. We see dozens of people cutting across the far parking lot to come use the resort beach. That’s fine, but please reserve chairs and umbrellas for resort guests only. That’s what the wristbands are for. We also saw someone ask a staff member to set up 20 chairs for their friends for the next day, if he gave the staff member a tip. The staff pocketed the tip and the next day, the 20 friends started arriving from other locations. Staff should limit the number of chairs based on the number of people in each room, and check wristbands. Or have sufficient chairs and umbrellas for everyone using the beach.
