This resort exceeded our expectations and then some! What a wonderful place with amazing food and staff. From booking until departure we were treated amazing. Constantly cared for by the staff. The resort is luxury but not over the top cheesy if that makes sense. It has a laid back feel I can only describe as “casual luxury”. The food was fantastic, like some of the best seafood I’ve ever had. Drinks were great. Tons of water sports activities, a great gift shop, great gym/fitness center, and even a tennis court. Beach was gorgeous! Rooms had plenty of space and a cozy feel. This place has it all.

5 is not a high enough rating. Incredible grounds and views, the staff were even more incredible. From Karen and the rest of the lobby staff, Anne Marie and the lovely ladies at the Reef, the welcoming, smiling faces of the Palm staff every morning to the amazing Onika and Shawna at the spa, everything was incredible. There was nothing requested we were denied. In fact the the lady tending to our rooms seemed disappointed when we said we didn't need our beds made - she was like a grandma away from home. When visiting the spa, as soon as we walked in Onika made you feel like she has known you forever. Her big bright smile and welcoming greeting instantly makes you feel comfortable and relaxed even before the treatment begins! The signature massage is such a head to toe treat and Shawna is a master at the techniques. I have never had a better massage... 50+ years of stress and tension was truly relieved for the first time ever. I was lucky enough to have Shawna also do my Rose & Aloe Sun Cooler Wrap before I left, and again was left feeling incredibly pampered, She even did a small braid so my hair wasn't to wild when I left. Our Monday morning was spend paddle boarding on boards brought right to the water for us and meditating while floating in the warm waters, opposed to reviewing spreadsheets. and reports! We spoke with many of the staff who all had been employed at the resort for some time and enjoy their jobs there. We learned that during the not so distant pandemic it was the employers that help their staff through some very challenging times. Pulling all of this together has put Blue Waters at the top of places we will return to when we need true relaxation and pampering. Thank you for operating such an exquisite spot and creating a team of such high caliber.

This is a very bad hotel!!! we were vacationing with a small child!! In our room the sewage system was constantly flowing, the plumbers came almost every day but they couldn’t do anything, there was water dripping from the ceiling in the room, there was damp mold and cockroaches when I spoke with the manager they couldn’t do anything for them, it’s normal only on the last day they offer to change the room !!! the staff in the hotel is not well-mannered, they constantly shout despite the fact that they see that a small child is sleeping or they can put a plate of food across the entire table, the waiters do not know how to serve properly, the children's room is always closed, they have a short working day or a day off, the playground looks like a construction site, there are stairs and electric wires sticking out! The game room is just like some kind of shed with unnecessary things! you can see carts scattered throughout the area!! the jacuzzi doesn't work, it's like we were told during the restoration!! we had an all-inclusive package but you will have to pay separately for plain water or sparkling water at $10 per bottle!! Two female managers don’t care when you tell them about some problem!!! This is the worst place we have ever been!!

We stayed at Blue Waters in April 2024 and it was fantastic - I would definitely recommend. We stayed in a family suit in turtle cottage. It’s essentially a little house with 4 bedrooms, lounge, kitchen and private pool/balcony area. You also get access to the ‘private’ beach below - although public access is also allowed. The hotel has 2 pools, 2 beaches, 3 restaurants (main, beach cafe & posher sit down dining - you’ll need to book this one), games area, gym and tennis courts - everything you could possibly need. The food is great also, it’s mainly a la carte menu but some buffet options on particular bbq nights which are also fun. The bars are well stocked and cocktails in abundance - again, pretty much anything you want is available. The concierge service is a touch on the expensive side. They quoted some high numbers for bite hire etc, but if you shop about locally or online you can find a decent deal. There’s also some nice free day trips/activities you can participate in over the week too including rum tasting, fishing, yoga etc. In summary a great stay, you’re well looked after and very comfortable surroundings.

This is a beautiful resort with lovely staff and private beaches. The food in all the restaurants is absolutely delicious, very well impressed. They keep the place spotless clean. It's lovely to lay out on the beach and the staff take your drinks order and deliver to you. The ocean is warm and the pools are refreshing to dip into. Id recommend bringing a few US dollars for tipping although it's not expected of you, it's a nice way to say thank you to the staff for wonderful service. This place really offers a luxurious service. Highly recommended. Tip, bring earplugs for sleep, the crickets are a different level here!!

Fantastic place to take your family. The resort has all the activities that you need to have a great vacation. The staff is the reason for all the 5 stars! They are the best! I would highly recommend this place!

Again, what an amazing week spent with u all. I am going to start with Milton who is always smiling when he greets u at the doorsteps…he says, “the least amount of muscle is used when smiling!” To Smiling Dion who was always eager to help us. Shawnley(one of my favorites) checked up on us every time we were passing by and when we would have a question! Marlon at the Bar, thank you for introducing the local Rum. Juma, who would be there to help my Mom with the Golf Cart-thank you so much. Shannoy Roberts, who personally making sure we had the hammock at our suite and a bowl for the feet before entering our rooms, and also being there for my Mom with a golf cart, the whole team at the water sport; my boys had the best time! My boys enjoyed variety of water sports thanks to them. You were the best! Chef Kumar—-always went over and beyond for us. We had dietary restrictions and he really listened to us and took care of us during our stay. Michael from the restaurant was always trying his best to accommodate our party of 8 plus the baby! We didn’t have to wait much and always ended up with a table with a great view. Hilmi—she tries to be there everyday before her 6am shift, and works non stop with a beautiful smile..always greets whenever she sees me! Jody, you’re an event planning star, very genuine and personable.. we wish you all the very best as you close out the season. Looking forward to our next visit there. We truly fell in love with the place and all of you guys. Such genuine staff. Andrew Hedley, you and your staff made our week in Antigua a very memorable one. Thank you for your hospitality and taking care of all our needs.

I stayed 5 nights with my family, everything is perfect. All the rooms have ocean view, the water is wonderful. All the front desk staff are so friendly and kind. Expecially, tony, sabrina and shawnley are wonderful people. They are always cheerful, friendy and kind. Thanks a lot to them.i always recommend this hotel. I hope i will go there again. Thank you carlisle bay

Rooms were excellent, beautifully situated right next to the beach. Location very good, with beautifully kept gardens. The opportunities to hire a boat or go snorkeling were prohibitively expensive and totally unreasonable in price.The staff are lovely but communication at all levels is very hit and miss. Service we paid for would come one day but not the next. The Italian restaurant by the pool was really poor. I don't think the chef had any idea of what Italian food might look like.When I complained about my meal I was met with complete indifference. I think the management needs to get a grip and turn a potentially lovely resort into a great one.

jim snyder

The staff at the resort were fantastic. Jamol, Georgier were exceptional and really made my kids feel at home. The beach is magical. Everyone is kind. The kids club was engaging for my kids (3,5). There are sand toys available at the beach so need to bring them. Nice mix of adult and kids amenities, but not saturated in kids focused stuff where it’s overwhelming or in your face. I would come back. Love the vibe of the people at the resort and the whole island.

My family have been coming here for more than 50 years. I literally grew up with these workers and see them as my Uncles, Aunts and family. I really hope that the bartender works there, he gave me my first drink at 18 Love all the workers including Daniel

‘And relax’ Curtain Bluff is the perfect vacation stop. The Carribean is hard to top, but the cherry on the cake is always visiting this wonderful time-machine of a hotel, that somehow manages to make you feel instantly relaxed. If you’re looking at staying at one of the best hotels in Antigua, you will not be disappointed. It’s a high quality all-inclusive hotel that makes a huge effort and its private ownership stems a sophisticated approach to all of its guests and many friends.

Pam Lewis

Stellar, luxury resort! Great food, endless drinks, wonerful activities, friendly professional staff and located on two amazing beaches.

Susan Allen

We had another amazing trip to Curtain Bluff and everyone there made us feel like family! We were invited to the owner's home and I can't describe how incredible the views are from there! The staff is awesome and they are all welcoming, happy and fun. Will definitely be coming back many times.

I had the luxury of experiencing what a special place Curtain Bluff is. The location on a peninsula offers spectacular swimming in the always perfect temperature bay. The water sports were always ready for use, I simply asked and within minutes we were being pulled behind the boat tubing and water skiing. I did not get to go sailing or paddle boarding, or enjoy the other water sport options, but they were always available ready to use. I also enjoyed playing tennis daily on their 4 courts surrounded by lush greenery and the the bay. The meals and food they served was delicious with a variety of options for everyone I was traveling with. They had Vegetarian, gluten free and every day the chef changed the menus. I enjoyed the Sunday brunch when in addition to the breakfast menu they served favorite local island dishes. With this being an all inclusive resort, everything was available to us without the hassle of carrying around money or a purse or even a towel for the beach. This made the stay another level of incredible. One afternoon we chartered a catamaran to tour the island on and a snorkel at the 6 mi long reef. This was an additional cost, but the front desk arranged it and we boarded right on the beach at the resort. No bus or driving anywhere! Every employee who I met was incredible, any request from booking a catamaran to the IT guy getting me all setup was simple, fast & friendly. The service during this entire trip was top and truly added to our stay. The only thing I wish was that I had more time there to enjoy the Spa (I heard it was great!) and another game of boccie.

I recently stayed at Hodges Bay, and I can’t say enough about the experience. The rooms were stunningly beautiful, immaculately clean, and well air-conditioned, providing a perfect retreat. The food was outstanding, with a top-quality menu that brilliantly showcased local flavors, along with some Americanized options for those preferring familiar dishes. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful—they clearly understand hospitality at its finest, making the resort feel expertly managed. A special mention goes to our server, Tango, who was an absolute treat! He knew how to work a crowd and brought an infectious vibe to every meal—definitely a highlight of our stay. The beach area was beautiful, with spectacular views that made for the most serene mornings and evenings. I spent a lot of time lounging by the main pool, but I also enjoyed the pool at the water’s edge, complete with a bar—a fantastic spot to relax. Hodges Bay is a true gem, and I’m already looking forward to hopefully returning next year. Highly recommended!

We are Miami based and have traveled all over the Caribbean to over 22 islands and 30 hotels over the past 10 years and have found a home with Hodges Bay. Finally, we have found a permanent fixture for an annual 3-4 day escape. The resort is absolutely beautiful, and the rooms are clean and have ample space compared to most resorts. What I appreciate is the service level and attention to detail that we receive at Hodges Bay compared to other properties - you can just tell they are better managed. The food is great and we loved the breakfast to start each day. The ocean view room was stunning, waking up to that view each day makes it worth it. Prickly Pear is a must for a beach day escape.....and snorkeling is incredible with tons of aquatic life. Our friends use us to recommend places all over the Caribbean and Hodges Bay is our go to recommendation that has won over dozens of our close friends.

I like some of the nice functional areas of this resort, thx mainly pool looks newly rebuilt and is fabulous, the beach bar with the pier and infinity pool is amazing on the day and night. What let it down for us is the lack of consistency with the service, reception was always helpful and had smile, while the man who seats you and "greets" you in the main restaurant needs a lesson in customer service and attitude, you can see why the restaurant is mainly empty. We had one very poor breakfast and went elsewhere after that. He pays more attention to his dreadlocks. Annoying the elevator doesn't work and hasn't got quite a while hear, not great with suitcases however they do offer assistance to be fair. A mixed bag really but overall a nice place and would stay again.

Jon Savage

The rooms are overpriced. The facility is showing its signs of wear. I couldn't sleep the first night because my room had a door to an adjoining room which was not soundproofed. I could literally hear a spoon drop. Even though they moved me to a better room the next night, I was given no credit for my awful night the first night I was there. When I ask them for some adjustment to the first night, they basically thought it was a joke. The personnel are nice there, and they do try to take care of you.

I went for a spa day, and it was beautiful. All the staff was amazing, but Nathalia really helped me out on this day. Thank you for making my day a memorable one. Also, chardelle for making everything feel so easy and organized.
