This was our second visit to the Blue Heron, our first being in year 2000 for our honeymoon. We were initially a little apprehensive about returning to a hotel where we had enjoyed a fantastic holiday - we weren't sure whether it could still live up to our expectations. Needless to say our fears were unfounded, the Blue Heron is... more

We have just returned from a wonderful honeymoon at Blue Heron, which was everything we dreamed of and more. It may not be 5-star luxury, but for a really relaxing holiday in a comfortable, friendly environment and an idyllic location, it must be hard to beat. Whilst our beachfront room was relatively basic, it was clean and had everything we... more

I last visited in 2005 and the transformation is amazing. The new manager, Ms Adams has worked wonders in her short time there. She is a dynamic hands-on, who quite happily fills in in any capacity if needed. The food was of a much higher standard with lots of variety. The staff are unbelievable. Nothing was too much trouble and... more

Firstly, this property has the most stunning and uncrowded beach. Unfortunately, it seems to soley rely on that fact as the rest of the property is hideous. Whilst the rooms could be considered to be 'clean', they are poorly maintained. The food is extremely limited and not to a very good standard. At times the staff appear surly and dissinterested.... more

There have been continual improvements being made prior to May 2008. New bath-tubs, toilets and vanity units and shower heads are being installed in all rooms.

My wife and I stayed at the Blue Heron at the end of August last year. The location was spectacular and the beach was beautiful. The staff were very helpful and the guys on the bar were a real laugh. Our biggest problem with the resort was the rooms. They were very basic and in need of a lot of... more

This is a must stay at resort.... Keep up the good... more

Like many others we read all the reviews about this place, but we were on a bit of a budget and having never been to the carribean we decided to give it a go. Everyone expects different things from their holiday, we wanted sun sea and relaxation and thats what we got. The room was spacious and clean with no... more

Nothing fancy. we had problems with rooms first two days that we had to deal with and changed rooms. couple of staff memberfs were helpful but most had no problem, no worry and were not quick to take care of and resolve. We did end up with an upgrade. The beach is beautifully located, wonderful place to just walk out... more

Stayed for a week in February 2008 at The Blue Heron and had a great holiday, I must admit I was a bit worried about going after reading some of the reviews. The beach was fantastic and is one of the best on the island, the food was excellent and would advise anyone going to The Blue Heron to go... more
