67 guests' feedbackVery pleasant, definitely going back!
We enjoyed our stay at Blue Waters Hotel. The room was lovely with the sea facing, and the breakfast was sumptuous.
I enjoyed the boat cruise and Ushaka Marine. We were only disappointed by the rain.
See summary as indicated above.
I enjoyed the stay. Will check in again.
I miss it already. We had a wonderful experience, the service was excellent, the breakfast was totally amazing, and the views were breathtaking. I will definitely book again.
The stay was okay. We enjoyed it.
Hotel room was full of cockroaches that were everywhere.
Love the hotel have been visiting for years and the standard does not change always good. Thank you.
I just love the service.
The breakfast is included and you have everything you can imagine, from cereals and fresh fruit to fish, sausages.
Top quality accommodation and the most delicious breakfast.
I had a problem with parking.
The buffet breakfast was a wow not forgetting their waiters Lungani, Luyanda, Lungelo and Musa. They want you to come back for more. They are top of the range waiters.
Parking area is very poor, large vehicle does not fit in the covered parking space. I would not recommend it.
For our 4 nights of stay there was totally no hot water to bath. I requested two rooms next to each other which were not given. I requested two beds in a room it was also not given.
We received good service, breakfast was well served and our stay was generally very pleasant.
Will not book with Blue Water again. Money was not over paid to hotel I was called in and in front of people further that I did not pay.
They should add aircon or a fan in a room because it's very hot during the day when it is summer. Maybe try to extend pool hours on floor 10.
The hotel has deteriorated greatly. Noise in hallways, people screaming. For sure not safe or 4 star worthy.
Everything was in excellent order. I've been in Durban, but this trip was so nice.
Second time staying at Blue Waters Hotel. Service of staff always friendly and effective. Rooms always clean and neat. Meals prepared so delicious. Definitely worth your money staying at Blue Waters Hotel.
We checked out, got lost on our way to the airport, so we missed our flight. We went back to Blue Waters Hotel and without any hassles got a room for another night.
Great location and very friendly staff and great service overall. We really enjoyed our stay. Everybody there is a true diamond and fantastic asset to this hotel. Thanks for the great stay and breakfast!
Pleasantly surprising pleasant experience. Delighted that the staff was so accommodating with my last minute single beds request, enjoyed the view from 15 floor.
Blue Waters is expensive accommodation on the "Golden Mile". The unit was clean and well equipped for our needs. The staff were very friendly at all times.
Reception was cold, no butler to help you take your bags up to your room and no secured parking. The breakfast was boring, the same every day.
We had a very nice stay because the hotel is well located and it is safe. The rooms are spacious and beautiful and the service was good. We really enjoyed the breakfast with the beautiful view.
Would definitely come back in December with my kids.
Service incredibly professional, room was fantastic with incredible sea view and neatly cleaned every day! Breakfast was out of the books, ate buffet one night, was just as tasty, used room service too, felt like royalty with the nice covers that are put on plates. We walked on boardwalks like this and are so motivated to maintain a healthier lifestyle with all the people jogging and cycling like this. Most remarkable are the 2 brothers (carwatches) in front of the hotel who are so willing to work and always had parking in front of the hotel, rewarded their good.
Satisfied with the accommodation. Great stay.
I was disappointed when checking in. I booked and paid online (though I learnt while at the hotel that it was through their agents) a day before travelling but when I got to the hotel they had no records of my payment and they almost refused to accommodate me. Luckily, I had printed the site email sent to me as proof of payment. That saved me for a while. Three days later, I was called at the reception and again they were claiming that they had no record of my payment. I got frustrated and disappointed and I demanded to see the manager. The lady went to the back office (presumably manager's office) then came back after a while and told me all was well. They managed to locate the agent who handled my online payment! This was really very frustrating and disappointing.
Keep it up the good work, strong team work.
See stars.
Location very good, room was neat and clean. Had a nice stay!
Friendly and helpful reception, clean and convenient rooms and great location.
The service at the hotel was excellent.
Staying at Blue Waters, I felt like I was renewed. The hotel is tops and as for the sea view my wife and I loved it and for sure our next vacation will be nowhere else but here.
Customer service was good, the rooms clean and the food awesome. The stay at your hotel was superb, its home away from home. The only place to be in Durban is Blue Waters Hotel!
I was very impressed with the general feel of the rooms and the friendliness of the staff. We were in a room where the bathroom has been refurbished and the room was a bit dusty. This was sorted out quickly. The breakfast is really delicious. Will definitely stay there again.
Rooms were modern and clean. 2 of 4 elevators were not working properly and they are doing renovations in the lobby and on the first floor. Price was reasonable, staff were friendly and buffet breakfast can be recommended. Location is on the beach front but a few 100 meters from the center although this is no problem.
This is my 3rd stay at the hotel. I am happy that I wasn't located near the laundry room this time, but unfortunately was not happy with the people in the rooms on both sides as they were making too much noise. Got woken up at 1:30 and 4:30 one morning due to their partying and loudness! That was the only thing that I hated about the stay at the hotel this time around.
The hotel can do better in terms of catering for small kids. Microwave oven in each room and sterilizer, we had instances where we ran out of water that is really a matter of concern.
Beautiful room. Very nice and clean and the view from the balcony amazing. Friendly and helpful staff walking distance from the beach. Get value for your money. Shall definitely be back.
My girlfriend and I had a memorable stay at Blue Waters and we wish to come back again.
What was awesome was breakfasts and the pizza's I will always go back. Other menu comments sent on to owners.
Blue Waters Hotel has friendly staff and enjoyed every moment. The sea view is amazing and although they are upgrading the hotel it was still a pleasure to stay there. Thanks for everything!
Delicious food in the restaurant. Will definitely be my first choice again if I have to spend the night in Durban.
We return to hotel every year - good service, clean and close to port.
We have enjoyed staying at Blue Waters hotel because its close to the beach and some entertainment centres. The place is safe.
A beautiful, exquisite entrance and warm welcome was given to us by the most efficient staff! I'm speechless about their breakfast, the layout and the ever-willing staff to assist and serve. Getting to sit and enjoy the meals in peace was remarkable! It was even hard to check out, I would go back any time! Keep up your excellent service.*Happy, happy*
Who would have thought to frolic in the water in August. The stay at the hotel was very pleasant and the staff friendly. The breakfast was heavenly and the meals at Restaurant delicious.
Although under renovations, the atmosphere was that of stately accommodation. The 'ghost telephone call' - telephone rings at anytime and when picked up there is no one at the other end, was irritating.
It is value for money. The only problem is that the parking is limited, the exit is not very practical, and the stairs to the parking are also difficult for older people.
The hotel is undergoing renovations but apart from that I would definitely recommend the hotel. The food was really very pleasant. I would prefer that there is covered parking.
They are not helpful at all, even though we had a confirmed booking with TravelGround.
This is a beautiful hotel. We will definitely stay there again.
What a wonderful place to be - everything was wonderful, from my entrance to the staff on-hand during my stay. I really enjoyed myself, and will be going back again soon. Keep up the good work!
Great service guys thank you, thank you. Looking forward to my next stay with you!
The hotel rooms are cleaner than how the building looks from outside. It looks beautiful from the pictures but youâ??ll realise that it needs refurbishment when you get there. Our telephone was not working and the lady at reception made empty promises of fixing it. Also, we didnâ??t have a refrigerator in our Double Room, although our friends had one in their room.
Room so spacious and very neat, breakfast so delicious. and the place is very safe because my car was like parked in a closed garage though it was outside. the place is so nice and I cant wait for my next visit.
It was a great stay, beautiful sea view.
The decor is so 60's it makes the place a quaint leftover form a bygone era. We loved it. Breakfasts were lavish, attention to our one complaint about TV reception was very prompt and thorough. The room was comfortable and the view from the balcony panoramic. Air conditioning efficient, which is very important in Durban in early March!
I think the summary says it all, plus there's a nice view of the ocean just after you have woken up.
My boyfriend and I spent 3 awesome nights here, and the view of the beach from our 6th floor balcony was breath-taking. The room decor was outdated and the bathroom wasn't very clean. But other than that we will definitely be going back. Great breakfasts!
My wife feels they need to improve cleanliness, but overall things are very good here.
