Blue Haven Resort & Marina

Only our 2nd time at an all-inclusive and was pleasantly surprised. Normally we rent a condo on VRBO or other sites, but booking in October for New Year's week, everything super expensive in T&C. Found some condos in similar price range, but then still had food to pay for which is not cheap here. For 6 nights, 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, paid $13,200. All inclusive meals, drinks, paddle boards, kayaks, and could use facilities at sister properties Alexandra and Beach House (18+) Breakfast Buffet was a full American type. About 10-12 pastries or breads every day. Croissants were great. Hot bar with pancakes, french toast, waffles, sausage, bacon, a local dish, eggs. Eggs made to order, waffle station, oatmeal bar, yogurts, 4-6 fruits, and 4 juices daily. Lunch at pool had 5 starters, about 5-7 entrees. Tacos, burger, grilled cheese, chicken wrap, great chicken plate with fattoush salad. Ate breakfast and lunch every day at resort. Had 3-4 drinks daily which were well made by bar team. Truly appreciated not being nickel and dimed like you would at a big property - Ritz, Marriott, etc on other islands. Kids could order a frozen drink and did not set you back $20 after tax & tip. Dinner places - ate once at each. Fire & Ice decent. Salt pizza was great, would go another night if had time. Since spent most of day at resort, preferred to go out to dinner. Again expensive on T&C for dinners (2 adults, 2 14 yr olds) all with a bottle of wine in $80-150 range- Coco Bistro $520, The Landing $288, Grace's Cottage $374. Even lunch at Omar's Beach Hut $97 (3 beers, 4 entrees, 2 virgin daquiris). So food can add up fast. Tax is 12% on everything. RESORT is chill, not a lot of units 35-40, calm water. Multiple multi-generation groups, good if small kids. Pool is on beachfront which is NOT the case with most Grace Bay resorts (no view). The resort is not near anything else. Taxis expensive, recommend getting a car to explore.

Not much I can find fault with. Did send 3-4 emails to resort thru booking.com. Only received response on one. Would be helpful if website had more info on exactly what watersports are available, included, and extra cost. Was trying to figure that out before booking with tour operators independently.

We really loved our stay here. We have travelled a lot the last 2 years, over 40 different countries and 100 different hotels and this resort is in our top 3 hotel, we really loved it! The atmosphere, the staff, the food and please let’s talk about the bed!!! LOVED IT!!!

Location was great, everything we wanted was included and we had access to all three resorts so we had plenty of options for food and beach. Loved the fact that wakeboarding was included along with tubing.

Bed could have been a bit more comfortable (not saying it was bad but I've stayed in better) but other than that, it was great. There wasn't too many things bad with this resort and I'd go back.
