The view is incredible, overseeing the beach and beautiful hotel layout. The rooms are very nice too but could do with a little bit of updating minor details. The pool is HUGE with plenty of privacy. There is a beach that the hotel overlooks too which you can access. The only downside was that the whole steam room, sauna and jacuzzi was down for maintaince so couldn’t enjoy the spa facilities. The massage prices are also way too high for the country. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sachiko 17 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 空間デザインの聖域のような、美しいホテルでした。 もう少し滞在したかった。 ##### Sachiko Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 18 Apr 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our 3rd time at The Blue Water and it never disappoints.

It’s a nice, comfortable hotel with professional, kind staff, but I would advice booking the basic rooms until they get things sorted. ##### Marc Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### shani 12 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities the breakfast buffet didn't have much of a spread. ##### shani Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 11 Sept 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Große Zimmer mit Balkon oder Terasse, bequeme Matratzen, großer Poolbereich mit kostenfreien Liegen, Auflagen, Schirmen und Handtüchern, sehr freundliches Personal, Hotel ist insgesamt in einem gepflegtem guten Zustand. Nicht gefallen hat mir: Das Hotel hat ein "Krähenproblem", sehr viele von diesen Vögeln im Garten verunreinigen Liegen und Sitzgelegenheiten, trinken am Pool, hinterlassen Federn und Ausscheidungen am Pool und der Geräuschpegel ist auch nicht zu unterschätzen. Nicht gefallen hat mir: Der Strand und das Meer sind nicht zu empfehlen. Sehr hohe Brandung mit Strömung (hängt evt. im September noch mit dem Monsun zusammen?), der Strand wird zwar von Treibgut befreit, weist aber an einigen Stellen dunkle Verfärbungen auf (Verschmutzung?) und vom Wasser her kommt ein muffiger Geruch. Leider hat Sri Lanka kein funktionierendes Abwassersystem und so landet alles in Flüssen und im Meer! Wer ohne Strand und Meer leben kann ist in diesem Hotel aber bestens aufgehoben. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 2 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice grounds, rooms. It was ok. There was a big convention with hundreds of people. So it was a zoo when I was there. Huge long line for dinner buffet. Not ideal. ##### Paul Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Jolanda, Eindhoven 3 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Luxe hotel! De accommodatie was erg goed, ontbijt ook! Alleen als je een taxi nodig hebt, kun je dit beter zelf regelen. De travel agent die ertussen zitten vraagt het dubbele. Zodat een deel naar de agent gaat, een deel naar hotel en een deel naar de chauffeur. Dit hebben we in andere hotels niet meegemaakt! Waarschijnlijk omdat dit een luxer hotel was en de prijzen daarom ook hoger. Ik gun liever een groter deel aan de het taxibedrijf/ chauffeur. Overigens voelt het ook een beetje ongemakkelijk doordat alles gedetecteerd wordt. Jezelf, taxi’s en tuktuk. ##### Jolanda Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 26 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It's unique architecture, open spaces and the garden were pleasing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mark 3 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel stay Perfect for relaxation.Fantastic food at reasonable prices.

Hotel was immaculate in all ways. ##### mark Stayed 13 nights in Feb 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Phillip 3 Mar 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay away if you want to relax Beware!! Don’t stay at this hotel if you want to relax and sit by the pool. This hotel has less than 100 sunloungers to accommodate over 250 guests. If you don’t get up early, or pay the pool attendant to reserve your sun lounger, you will receive a tatty bit of foam and a towel to sit on the floor until something becomes available. The pool is dirty and green unlike the crystal blue waters as shown. The rooms are dirty with lights falling out the ceiling and cockroaches on the floor. The club lounge access is a joke which is leftover food from breakfast ##### Phillip Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### David 13 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The Blue Water Great hotel, very comfortable and stylish. Club suites are definitely the way to go, beautiful rooms and worthwhile additional amenities. ##### David Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie Lykke 1 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dejligt hotel med fantastisk personale Vi boede i en Club Suite og havde all inklusive. Vi var bestemt tilfredse med hotellet og følte os meget velkomne. Personalet gør meget for gæsterne og virker oprigtigt interesserede i, at vi får et godt ophold. Buffeten indeholder meget lokal mad, hvilket for os er et plus. De tilbød endda at lave mere vestlig mad til børnene. Poolen er stor og ren, stranden er bred og selvom bølgerne er relativt store, kunne vi sagtens bade med børnene. ##### Julie Lykke Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Loondre, Munich, Germany 5 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We stayed at this hotel over Christmas and New Year 2018. My review is based on the expectations you might have for a 5 star hotel. The good: - very friendly staff. Very helpful - great location near the beach - breakfast and dinner are very good - a wonderful new year celebration - life music during dinner The bad: - bad starting point for excursions (long trips) - email conversation with the hotel did not work. Even phone calls were not answered - some sun beds are old and not working - matrices are old, damaged. Towels are dirty - worn furniture in the room - they have not been able to refill soap and shower dispenser within 2 days - our safe was not working for 3 days Some minor bad things: - our room was not ready in time - not all employees speak English - Club lounge access: only tea and cafe. Juices have to be ordered and will be served within 20 min (for free, but a member of the staff has to go to the restaurant to get them) Summary: According to European standards this is a 3-4 star hotel. If this is your expectation, you will have a great time. Value for money, however, needs to be discussed. ##### Loondre Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Karina 31 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Smukt hotel på stranden - skræntende service Virkelig smukt hotel som absolut er 5 stjerner værdigt. Vi havde bestilt en club suite som til fulde levede op til forventningerne. Derimod var serviceniveauet langt fra hvad man kan forvente af et 5 stjernet hotel. Sammenlignet med andre lande i østen er Sri Lanka meget langt bagud i forhold til begrebet service - og at personalet havde svært ved at tale engelsk gjorde ikke niveauet bedre. ##### Karina Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 19 Dec 2018 ジェフリー・バワのデザインしたビーチサイドリゾート。コロンボから近い。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Aimo 7 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 9 Hyvä hotelli.

Overall, we would recommend The Blue Water as it's a beautiful and well-designed hotel with very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff, a wonderful pool area, a great view on the with palm trees lined beach (the sunsets were amazing!) - though we only rate it 4/5. Reasons: 1. Food was mediocre, especially the adaptions of European / Western dishes were not adequate. The local dishes were better, but had been way better (and a lot cheaper) almost everywhere else we've been to in Sri Lanka. 2. There are some places where the hotel is in need of renovations (e.g. balcony railing, bathrooms / toilets at ground floor). In fact, at the time of our stay there were a few construction sites. 3. There were a lot of ravens at the hotel / poolside, that seemed to be resident there and made quite some noise. There were a lot of squirrels too (which we would count as a pro as they were very entertaining). 4. Location in a larger scale: The beach was clean, but you could barely go into the water (winds, currents) just like at most beaches at Sri Lanka' s west coast. Wadduwa itself offers nothing worth to visit or spend time at. All the above reasons have to be regarded in relation to the quite high prices. Especially the food was a deal-breaker for us. In all honesty, we still would recommend The Blue Water to friends, but wouldn't stay there again ourselves but rather try something new. ##### Dominik Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Eden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Podstrana-Hotels-Hotel-Eden.h1369950.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayur Ayur Ayurveda Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Negombo-Hotels-Ayur-Ayur-Ayurveda-Retreat.h37946415.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Warner Bros.
