Transfer from John A. Osborne Airport to Blue Heron By Rex Resorts Hotel

HotelDescription#A small, intimate beach hotel ideal for couples and families and those wanting to get away from it all.

An offshore reef provides natural protection for the beach, making it ideal for children as well as water sports. The hotel is situated 15 miles from V C Bird International Airport (45 minutes drive) and 10 miles from the capital, St. John's.

The hotel has a friendly and informal atmosphere with 19 of the 64 rooms opening directly onto the beach: ideal for an early morning swim and the perfect location for admiring magnificent sunsets to the sounds of a steel-pan band.
