If you’re going to stay here, request the newly renovated Villas (1 story building with 3 rooms). The other 2 story buildings are very outdated, the balcony faces onto a golf course and swap area. The bathroom is very old and upon check-in my bathroom wasn’t fully cleaned, with hairs on the floor and in the dated bathtub. Dining options are limited to 1 restaurant on site, that is quite pricey. The servers don’t speak much English, and such my order came out wrong 2 separate occasions. There are a couple other dinings options if you walk along the beach to another area. Uber is not allowed onto the property and Taxis take long to get there. Taxi charges 2-3x what Uber charge. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Great location and chill hotel

Great location and chill hotel. Breakfast is included and is good. There were few people staying here, which meant we got the pool practically to ourselves and the beach cabanas and chairs were great too. The restaurant is ideal for dinner and there are other options up and down the beach as well. I would definitely stay here again. Golfers would especially like this place because it is right along the green around hiles 7 and 8, I believe.

I always go back to Blue Jack Tar for its beautiful beach, quiet rooms, delicious food and friendly staff. The rooms are kept clean with plenty of hot water. It’s my home away from home.

Needs to be rehabbed. Bathroom was old. TV was old. The towels and linens were old. My brother is a condominium owner in BlueJackTar and my apartment was old and in bad shape. The maids did a nice job cleaning the worn out place. No one explained the grounds and services to me. They acted annoyed with me when I was locked out of my room. I would throw my room key in my beach bag because I did not want to bring my wallet to the beach. It would come in contact with my cell phone and then would not work. This DOES NOT happen at other resorts. Fix the problem, don't blame the guests. The food was OK, nothing special.

Older resort but it was nice. Great air conditioning in the rooms. On this island that’s not always the case. Beach was nice. Had the pool all to ourselves. Good breakfast a la carte. Thumbs up.
