This tiny twin island republic offers an enticing mix of cultural activities and eco adventure. Located just off the tip of Venezuela, lively Trinidad, the larger of the two, boasts energetic nightlife in modern capital Port-of-Spain. Driving on the North Coast Road reveals lush forest and breathtaking views. Tobago, two hours away by fast ferry, is comparatively serene. Azure seas contrast with pale pink sands and golden sunsets. Protected rainforest and stunning coral reefs complete this paradise.

Blue Waters Inn

With just 38 guest rooms and bungalows, Blue Waters Inn sits in 42 acres of tropical gardens directly on the beach at Batteaux Bay, Speyside, Tobago. Getting to us takes approximately 85 minutes from the airport. Speyside is super relaxed with quick access to the Main Ridge rainforest and the key underwater sites of the island. Twitchers and divers / snorkellers are very well catered for and the hotel is perfect for those wishing to simply switch off and enjoy the hotels tranquil location. The beach shelves gently and is considered safe for bathing. Lay by the pool or in the open air jacuzzi and admire the view across Batteaux Bay towards Bird Island and Little Tobago in the near distance. Learn to dive at our 5 star PADI dive centre complete with 2 Newton dive boats or explore the rainforest with one of the local guides. All our rooms are air-conditioned and face the sea. Most offer fabulous sea views and are only a few steps from the sand. The One and Two Bungalows are bigger and offer either one or two bedrooms. These are located a few steps from the beach have a patio. Deluxe Oceanview Studios are also very spacious and have an open plan kitchen / living room. Inter-connecting rooms are available for families needing more space. The fabulous Driftdeck offers dining alfresco with views straight out across the bay whilst the more elegant "Aqua" offers fine cuisine two or more nights per week.

Really REALLY Disappointed

Blue waters review Given the multiple reviews I’ve gotten through both word of mouth/online… I thought staying away from the regular hustle and bustle of the “town/city” area would be well worth distance… unfortunately… this was FAR FROM the reality… After what was supposed to be a stay of “mental self care” … turned into feeling as though I was being conned, I stayed in room 17… the room was NOT properly cleaned (there was a used panty liner I discovered under the chair cushion along with other trash, the bins were not emptied, the room had NO towels and even up to day 3 of my stay WIFI never worked! The food was mediocre AT BEST…. Same goes for the drinks?… Whilst admittedly the staff there are very kind and pleasant, the most that was offered when I complained at the front desk was “I would have to look into that.” Somehow… what I paid for and what I received in exchange SEVERELY lacked! Would definitely never ever return or recommend anyone here..

Great Staff

Reviewed By Yorkflyer

On first arrival we were a little underwhelmed as the hotel needs a lot of TLC. However the longer we stayed the more relaxed we became which was mainly due to the excellent service and friendliness of the staff. Particular mention must go to Pamela, Cecilia, Adanna (pool bar), and Marvin. On the debit side the housekeeping staff need better training/management as we were constantly left without towels/tissues/tea bags and toilet rolls. It’s not difficult to put right. It would also appear that Tuna is the only fish available in the Caribbean as it was constantly the “Catch of the Day” and also a feature at breakfast. Would we recommend? Yes if you can put up with the minor niggles. Tip: Book a suite or ask for an upgrade, the extra space is worth the money.

We stayed here for a week on a British Airways All Inclusive holiday package. We had a lovely relaxing time and would not hesitate recommending the hotel. The grounds are beautifully kept, the pools were very clean, there were plenty of sun beds around the 2 pools. Our room was a standard room with a garden view, maybe a little dated, but again very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bar area was very nice with a lovely outdoor seating area that overlooked the sea. The barmen (Robbie and Tenis) were very courteous and worked very hard and we were always served quickly. Lunches were served in the bar area and had a good choice of burgers, chicken, salad etc. Breakfast and lunch were served in the pleasant restaurant, there wasn’t the huge choice of dishes that you may have in a large All Inclusive hotel, but the food was always tasty and plentiful. The waiting staff were very attentive. We did turtle watching (which was incredible, we saw a turtle laying her eggs)!and the Cool Runnings boat trip from the hotel. Both were excellent value 150 TT per person. There is a small beach with 3 cabanas accessible from the hotel, but it’s not advisable to swim there due to the strong currents. Store bay beach is a 10 minute amble away where you can hire sun beds and swim. There is a life guard on the beach. All in all we had a great holiday and would definitely like to return one day

Disappointing and frustrating

Reviewed By Vijanti B

Reservations were booked and paid for in advance. On reaching the hotel we were informed that vaccination cards (or proof of) was required plus our toddler is to undergo a PCR Test. This information was not relayed to us prior to booking, not via email confirmations or phone calls, which were both engaged. If we were privy to this information we would not have booked simply to avoid subjecting our toddler to a PCR Test for a hotel stay. The manager at the time, Marita Huggins, took no responsibility for their lack of information prior to this. On requesting our full refund, we were told that the payment could not be found on their system. After making calls to the bank to confirm, the receptionist notified that they found our payment. No assistance was offered otherwise. Booking a new hotel at the last minute proved to be a challenge.

Pleasant stay at the Inn! Though the hotel is undergoing renovations, nothing got in the way of a very relaxing stay. The staff and service were above par, with special mention going out to Joshua at the front desk who was very welcoming and willing to accommodate our requests. Great staycation...and the breakfast was delicious! Will definitely go back!

Tranquil turquoise waters caress the white sands of our private beach with magnificent snorkeling just outside the breakwater. Enjoy kayaking, pedalos, diving, tennis, gym, in-house shopping, massages, manicures, pedicures and much more.

Is it Worth It?

Reviewed By nellah477

As you drive through the landscaped and manicured grounds, enter the open, airy reception area, you are greeted by the pristine waters of the Caribbean Sea and it is evident that this property was once majestic. The location cannot be beat, you can walk from the airport. The private beach is stunning, calm, clear and there are many tropical fish to see near the rocks. This is the only thing that draws me here. The bones of the property are quite beautiful and the attention to detail is admired but it is past the point of having old Caribbean charm. It is so dated it feels like a museum and has a signature old musty smell. It is relatively clean but the age cannot be hidden especially in the bathrooms which are unpleasant. The room was poorly lit with a shaky bed, warped mattress and two worn out pillows. The ceilings on the second floor are very low compared to the ground floor rooms. The foul smell in the corridor by the shops need to be addressed. Hotel staff customer service is average, not at international standard. Tamara’s servers are unprofessional and appear irritated. Food was subpar. Sad to see what was a glorious hotel fall into disrepair. Not sure if I would spend another night there or if it’s worth the price. There’s an eerie feeling as there’s hardly any guests and you can see and feel the hotel withering away. Would be delighted to return if it was renovated.

This is so fustrating.i will never visit this place again. !!!
