This review is long overdue. We spent the week of our 10th wedding anniversary at the incredible Blue Waters Beach Apartments. Like other reviewers we appreciate having a fully equipped kitchen so breakfast or other meals can be spent at "home". I never mind fixing a meal when I'm looking out at the amazing turquoise water of the Caribbean.
I hesitate to use the word "apartment" because it's so much more like a resort suite. The rooms are large, extremely clean and include all the amenities you would find in a 5 star hotel. The best part for us was the privacy. The patio for our 1st floor room was directly on the beach, surrounded by palm trees and just steps away from the water. It just doesn't get any better. But if you're looking to walk to nightlife and bars on the beach, etc., this won't work for you. Keep in mind that peace and quiet are the objectives here. If you rent a car (very easy to do, when you make reservations, owner Carolyn, will help you out with details) you can travel easily to different spots on the island that might offer what you're looking for. Again, we were just looking for time by ourselves.
Our impression is that Carolyn or her brother are there to help you get settled but do not involve themselves in your vacation unless you need help or information. (Again, very much the way we like things to go) The wonderful maid (who always waited 'til we were up and about before stopping in) and the office manager will be your main source of information and are very willing to lend a hand. We had no problems to deal with but asked them for advice on restaurants, snorkeling spots (Shoal Bay East is a good place to try), etc. They were always pleasant and helpful.
Restaurants are abundant but do check the season. Some close for part or all of the summer months. We had no trouble finding great spots, including the Italian restaurant right next to Blue Waters. The island is small so traveling and checking out restaurants is easy to do.
I truly hope Blue Waters exists for many, many more years. I can't imagine we'll find a more perfect fit for much needed getaways!

We discovered this place quite a few years ago and have gone there ever since when visiting Anguilla. Laid Back, Relaxing, Friendly, Greatest beach on Anguilla. We will miss it terribly when it is sold.

Our stay was almost surreal! We loved everything about the Blue Waters except the dearth of information about the place when booking it. I longed for more than a few pictures that I scrounged up surfing the web. Simple questions suchas "Do we need to bring beach towels?" went unanswered unless we contacted a travel agent.
Anyway, once we got there we were in awe of the place. It is clean, comfortable, and oh so close to a beautiful beach with palm trees, beach umbrellas and tons of white sand and gorgeous blue water.
The apartment was almost surgically clean. No bugs of the roach variety. (Thank goodness!) There were the omnipresent mosies and ants. Just spray on the bug repellent and keep all food in a covered container or in the fridge.
The beds are comfortable and the closet space is plentiful. I thought I would miss the lack of a/c but I did'nt. The breezes were nonstop and very relaxing. Having a kitchen with a full size refrigerator is almost decadent. I kept a washcloth in the freezer for after beach cool downs.
You will need a car but you can pick from a variety of restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive. We only made it as far north as the Cusinart for dinner but repeated restaurants only twice. (Mango's Yum)

Speaking of restaraunts, we have eaten at Blanchards every time we go to Anguilla and have finally given it the thumbs down. The food is mediocre and the service was abysmal! It's way overpriced and overated.
We the Tratoria Tramonte, Mango's, Picante, and had a fabulous splurge meal at the Malihounna(sp?)
All and all this was a fantastic chill out vacation in a great apartment hotel.

We were told about this place by the old owner of Mango's who we knew from our home state. The place we had previously been staying was bought by yet another rich american who promptly stopped renting his rooms/villas for months at a time. Well, tooooooooooo bad. Blue waters is about as close to unencumbered and uncluttered beach nirvana as exists out there for those of us with ordinary paychecks. It's a minimalist white stucco "apartment" with full kitchen, large bedroom, large bathroom, larger dining/seating area. Then, on to the good stuff.
You walk out onto your private deck and, if you're ground level you're faced with a choice. Sit there, look at the truly white sandy beach, the turquoise/azure water with the mountains of st. martin beyond. Or you can walk a short way thru splendid flowers and vines to the extremely private palm tree lined white sandy beach and relax there.
The ocean's there for swimming, use a kayak or read a book. The owner, her daughter and the dogs are absolute gems. This is not for everyone-if you need a concierge,a swimming pool or doting hotel employees, go elsewhere. If you want peace and quiet beauty on your own terms, blue waters is it. Off season(mid April to pre xmas) is CHEAP $125/night. That includes thanksgiving week-really. Our 8th visit to this paradise-and it is that- can't come soon enough. there will be a ninth and beyond.
