  My 4@ July weekend for years, Its always a good time at Blue Waters, my whole family including my dogs love this place, super convenience, clean, accessible, nice beach, warm water durante this time of the year, clean pools , option of other resorts of the same company nearby with free access , beach bar with nice snacks, restaurant in the place , beach service with chairs, towels and umbrella and live music on the deck , staff very friendly, and attentive . Several options of room, studio, beach view, pool view or more private options with barbecue and parking. Very good option for a family or friend’s trip.

  Rooms was comfy and modern, from chatting with some regular guests we learned they were renovated in the last 2-3 years. Bed was comfortable and everything worked as expected. The rooms are small and basic, especially given the price of this resort. Pool and grounds were lovely and clean. Ample chairs both at the beach and the pool for this time of year (after labor day). Pool towels are tiny but available - beneficial to bring your own beach towel. The pool area was peaceful and relaxing with most people choosing to read or float in the pool. We found the poolside bar was very expensive ($16 for a cocktail). On site parking is very tight and hard to come by. Parking spaces do not fit more than an average car. We saw trucks, minivans and average SUVs barely fit. There is additional parking with more room across the road. We'd be happy to return here in the off season again, but we'll never afford to come here during the summer months. I have stayed in luxury hotels for cheaper than the rates of this hotel.

  We just returned from our stay at Blue Water over Labor Day weekend. Overall, our trip was enjoyable, but we definitely had to lower our expectations in order for it to be that way. We traveled with another family and had adjoining ocean view king rooms with bunks. The location of the rooms themselves were fantastic, with an incredible view to wake up to every day. Unfortunately, as soon as we stepped into our rooms, we noticed that no one had cleaned the floors properly. Both the room my family stayed in, as well as the second family, had sand tracked all over the place, so as soon as we removed our shoes, we could feel it all over our feet, which then was tracked onto the beds. Housekeeping for both our families was very disappointing, as the only thing done in our rooms was re stocking of bath towels. My friend in the adjoining room ended up calling the front desk one of the days we were there to request housekeeping return and do a full service, including new sheets since there was sand, yet even after they came through again, all we received were folded comforters—no sheet changes, and the floors were still not cleaned. We had additional issues during our stay—not enough to ruin our trip, but enough for us to question the service. We specifically chose Blue Water because of the shared property amenities with Riviera, yet we noticed that there were limited dining options outside of dinner. While the website advertises lunch menus for Jonah, it wasn’t open at all for lunch throughout our entire stay. We didn’t want to go to the outdoor bar/grill because we wanted something fresh, so we ventured next door to the cafe to find they also were not serving lunch, even though they had a lunch menu displayed. While they served breakfast at the cafe, we were limited yet again with only a choice between two breakfast sandwiches, even though the menu showed multiple options. Jonah’s had a breakfast buffet, but the food was mediocre, and there were no options for anyone with food allergies. Our husbands ended up running out to stop and shop to grab food for the children. While the dinner at Jonah’s was delicious, the wait time for our take out food was incredibly long. One night we waited at the bar for an hour for our food to be ready, and we only ordered salads. Thankfully, the people working at Jonah’s from the servers to the bartender, were incredibly friendly and sympathetic. The last issue we encountered were towels for the beach/pool. While we no issues with the towel car system, we noticed that outside of the weekend, there was no one at the towel station actively handing out or re stocking towels. They had run out of towels at one point and we grabbed whatever was on the chair, not knowing if they were used, dirty, etc. The only clean looking towels that were in a bag were soaking wet. When there was someone manning the towel station, they were handing out wet towels, so we weren’t sure if those were also used, or just not dried properly after cleaning. Finally, our actual room door had the latch broken, so you had to pull very hard to close and have the door lock. We mainly used the adjoining room to get in and out because of how difficult our door was. Luckily, our children really enjoyed the place and didn’t want to leave, but myself and my friend agreed that if given the chance, we most likely would not return due to mainly the dining and housekeeping issues. If those were resolved, we would happily come back.

  Unfortunately, we won’t be back. The private beach and ocean views are absolutely beautiful, but they weren’t enough to outweigh the condition of the property and how disorganized the overall experience felt. Our biggest frustration was food. At check-in we were told both resorts had restaurants and beach bars, but there seemed to be no consistent schedule and hours weren’t clearly communicated anywhere. We frequently walked to a restaurant only to find it closed or offering just a couple of premade items. Staff often seemed surprised themselves when something wasn’t open. Jonah’s was especially frustrating. We waited over an hour for four salads one night and about 45 minutes for two salads and a pizza another. Locations were also regularly out of menu items, ingredients, and even silverware at one point. The property needs significant maintenance. Our tub was rusty with peeling paint, the bathroom door barely closed, our TV screen was damaged, carpets were worn and dirty, and our balcony railing felt concerningly loose. Several amenities were broken during our stay as well. Housekeeping didn’t service our room until day three after I specifically contacted the front desk and requested it. Even after requesting full service, the beds were simply remade with the same sheets. Staff generally seemed absent or disengaged, and there was an overall sense that no one quite knew what was going on. The saving grace is absolutely the beach. Having such easy access to a beautiful private beach was wonderful, and I’m very glad we paid for an ocean-view room because enjoying that view was by far the best part of our stay. There is so much potential here because of the location, but the resort itself needs considerably more attention to maintenance, consistency, communication, and service.
