An affordable vacation, that will be enjoyable, and good quality, and somewhere like a beachfront all inclusive resort in a tropical destination sounds just exactly what is needed this year. Therefore it is worth taking a close look at an affordable beachfront vacation in an Antigua All Inclusive Resort called Blue Heron by Rex Resorts. This ticks all the boxes and could even be a good choice for an Antigua Honeymoon.

The Blue Heron by Rex Resorts sits on one of Antigua’s nicest and quiet white sand beaches at Johnson’s Point in the South West corner of the island. It is an adult’s only resort, which immediately makes it stand out as an obvious choice for an Antigua Honeymoon.

With only 64 rooms, divided into 5 Deck Rooms overlooking the garden, 35 Garden Rooms, some with a seaview, and 19 Beachfront Rooms, the Blue Heron by Rex Resorts is a small hotel and therefore prides itself on being personal and intimate. As a guest there is the all inclusive option, but in fairness this only includes local drinks and not premium brands. In addition the rooms are large but quite basic, are kept very clean, with towels changed every day, and the beds are very comfortable.

A valid point that needs to be raised here, whilst on the subject of the rooms. You could if you looked hard enough find some really critical comments about the rooms, but it is important to remember that what you looked for and booked was an affordable vacation.

That is what you have got at the Blue Heron by Rex Resorts, which is a small, very friendly, quite simple oceanfront hotel, probably no more than a two or three star.

If the beach is more important than the fittings in your room and en-suite, then the Blue Heron by Rex Resorts is the right place for you.

Being a beachfront Resort it is reassuring to know that the beach is quite magnificent, and totally uncrowded,  giving the hotel a lovely setting. The beautiful turquoise sea is clean and warm, and the tranquillity without screaming children around is blissful.

Being a small hotel with limited restaurants, you will find that meal choices are a bit limited, especially if you have booked for two weeks. There are at least two restaurants that are within walking distance and as most sensible guests will have organised car hire, then the world of Antigua is your proverbial oyster, and there are plenty of good restaurants available to you.

The staff at the Blue Heron by Rex Resorts are very helpful, and keen to be of assistance all the time. This is a big plus, and elevates an affordable vacation into a very good one. For this to happen, you need to be the kind of guest who prefers to chat to the staff, as opposed to ordering them about. It’s amazing what a kind word does for you.

As you can see an affordable vacation does have shortcomings, but when you are beachfront at Blue Heron by Rex Resorts, looking out onto paradise, the room is clean and functional, the staff are terrific, and you really don’t want to be clubbing because this is your Antigua Honeymoon, then you could have made a very good choice.
