Blue Haven Resort

Across the board, a strong 5/5 on this resort, it was exactly what we were hoping for. We just got back from a week's vacation with myself, my wife, and our three children (young adults 20, 18, 16). We wanted a somewhat quiet resort that we could have fun at, but not be one of a 1,000 other people. There was enough activity to keep us all entertained but not busy, the food was amazing, and the staff was extremely accommodating; they went out of their way to make sure we were happy and having a good time. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a higher end resort experience, go to Blue Haven. The sister resort Alexandra has a nice beach and a good sushi bar, otherwise don't waste your time spending too much time there, the staff and quality of the resort were way better at Blue Haven.

Fantastic all-inclusive resort. Beautiful rooms and lobby. Great service from front desk, maids, waiters, bartenders. A fun, chill place with music, trivia games, nice pool with swim-up bar. Food is excellent considering it's all imported (no real local supplies available.) Location is great: it gets a constant easterly wind to make it comfortable in 90+ degree weather. The beach itself is not impressive (like at it's sister resort, Alexandra) but the water is crystal clean and the temperature is perfectly refreshing. A great vacation for couples wanting wind-down time or those with small children. But teens might have a hard time finding something to occupy them. Looking for night-time excitement? Look elsewhere.

Had a wonderful time with my wife at the Blue Haven. The property has such a relaxing flare to it that we enjoyed our days sitting by the pool or in the beach. The service, especially from Damian, Coco and Janet was exceptional and they always had a smile on their faces. Property was very clean, food was great and the drinks were amazing. My only negative thing I could say is that the rooms needed more lighting, but everything else was 5 star.

The good: The rooms are beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, and the beach is wonderful--so pristine and clean, and this resort is small so it's never crowded or crazy. A few wonderful servers, especially DIO. Also, the pool entertainment and beach entertainment was really good. Friendly and welcoming with games and fun.The bad: Poor food offerings, considering this is an all inclusive. Lots of "oh this one is closed right now/today/tomorrow, etc." You have limited options on site and/or can travel via free shuttle to their sister resort, but the shuttle fills quickly and shuttle driver gives zero effs about whether people are first in line and if there are line-jumpers and if you get left behind and have to wait to catch the next one. Also, service is very dicey. DIO was AMAZING, but almost every other server/host/bartender also gives zero effs about helping you. Very unconcerned about providing service with a smile. Always stone-faced and act like you're inconveniencing them terribly. Don't work at an all-inclusive if you don't want to be friendly. I'm a pretty assertive person and several times I thought to myself, "ugh, I don't want to go ask for a strawberry lemonade b/c they'll be dismissive....". Breakfast workers (especially the girl) very rude and condescending. Look you up and down like they're judging you. Overall, this resort needs a huge brush up on what service means and catering to clientele.

The rooms are very clean and the staff is wonderful. They go above and beyond to meet your needs. The resort also has a free shuttle to a sister resort. This is where you can party and enjoy a great steak dinner. They also have a few nice restaurants on the grounds and plenty of water sports. The rooms are very modern and comfortable. I absolutely love Blue Haven. Shenika and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I recommend this resort for family fun, relaxation, and couples.
