Great location and resort. Staff was young and friendly. Especially enjoyed Kids Camp staff, who supervised activities each morning. Lots of activities planned every day to enjoy (or ignore). Jet skis and parasailing available on the beach in front of hotel. Staff helped facilitating sunbathing on beach, but I had to ask them. Indoor and outdoor pools were often crowded.

This was our first time at the Blue Water and my family of four stayed in one of their larger cottages. On the plus side, the staff was generally very helpful and friendly - the beachside pool and grill was fantastic. The beach is near perfect and never seemed to crowded. The opportunity to jet ski, parasail and banana boat... More
