Antigua, Caribbean
Virgin rating




























































The hotel
Located on the Northwest tip of Antigua, the Cove Suites are part of the Blue Waters resort, offering luxurious all-inclusive accommodation within easy reach of the hotel’s outstanding range of facilities. Set in 5 acres of tropical landscaped garden, 28 lavish suites (including 4 penthouses) offer island-inspired décor, spacious living areas, and spectacular ocean views. Cove guests can enjoy exclusive access to four infinity-edged swimming pools, and the Cove Restaurant is right next door, with a gourmet menu that’s well-esteemed by locals. When you can drag yourself away from your idyllic surrounds, it’s time to explore what Blue Waters has to offer – a truly superb hotel, renowned for its high standards of service, and with activities galore – including an 18-hole golf course just 5 minutes away! Watersports are complimentary, so try your hand at windsurfing, kayaking, and snorkelling, or hop onboard a Hobie Cat and sail the high seas. If you wish to go further afield, there’s a WhatsApp service for guests that can be used to arrange everything from spa treatments to excursions, as well as a Cove Concierge service that’s exclusive to Cove guests. Enjoy a peaceful dinner in one of two restaurants – one of which is located in the main hotel, Blue Waters – before enjoying live entertainment, which is offered most evenings. Afterwards, relax with a nightcap in the Pelican Bar until it’s time to return to your suite to retire in luxury. For something even more special, treat yourself to a stay in one of the Cove’s four exquisite Penthouse Suites, each beautifully appointed, with three bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea.
