We had been given a couple of nights here as a gift. We checked out their website and were quite excited as it looked lovely and we were really looking forward to a couple of indulgent nights. Unfortunately, it certainly didn't meet our expectations - certainly not for a $165 room!! It was the sort of place I would be... More

Thank you for your comments. It is always helpful to receive feedback from guests. The Bluewater Hotel is situated in Ahuriri which is on the other side of the hill from Napier town (5 minute drive). The Bluewater Hotel is a 5 minute walk from the night life of Napier and numerous restaurants. There is a bus that stops outside... More

We booked last minute, the price was good for what we wanted. The reception staff were lovely but not I'll show you where to go (we work in the industry and that is what they like) the cleaners didn't even crack a smile, also there was an empty chip packet in the bedside table. The shower was a little tricky... More

Thank you for your comments. It is always helpful to receive feedback. We understand it would have been alot more hospitable for the receptionist to show you how to get to your room. The $50.00 charge is for the noisy guests, not the guest calling with the complaint. The safe is located in reception which we should make clearer on... More

The rooms are very nice. Newly done clean and tidy. good prices too. Staff very friendly and helpful. But the fish factory next door what a stink. You have to pay for internet access: what are they in the dark ages? You also have to pay for the mini golf. More

Thank you for your comments, our ground floor and superior studio rooms were renovated in 2011 so we are pleased that our guests appreciate this. The fish factory next door have had many warnings from our hotel about the fish odour that sometimes becomes extremely strong and after this review we advised them that we would have no option but...

My boyfriend and I spent two nights at the Bluewater Hotel over Labour Weekend 2010. We found it wonderful! It was a perfect place to get away to and the small balcony was perfect in the mornings. We had no noise issues from the other guests, and as we ate out both nights there was no need for a oven... More

We have just returned from 2 nights at Bluewater Hotel in Napioer. As we left our booking until last minute, this was all that was available. I couldnt agree more with the other reviews. On the positive side, the "suite" was well heated with 2 heat pumps, and there were 3 Tvs in the unit -if thats important to you!... More

We would like to start off by apologising for your unhappy stay. You appear to have booked 1 of our 2 bedroom apartments which can sleep up to six people which is why there are so many TVs in the unit. There is a heat pump in the main bedroom upstairs and in the lounge downstairs which is great when... More

First things first. It's not a hotel, but a three-storey motel. There are no public areas, and the cabin which serves as reception shuts down at 10pm. My first impressions were unfavourable - the motel has two stretched limos which they park right out the front, and being a snob I always feel these things are the height of bad... More

Thank you for your comments. First we would like to apologise for your unsatisfactory experience. The complex was obviously not explained to you very well on check in. We have our restaurant and bar on site which would have served well as a public area for you. The Stretch Limo and Hummer are not to everyone’s taste but they are... More

The room was very spacious - bigger than what I expected and was clean. The decor was rather worn, & reminded me of a Miami Beach hotel in the mid-80's. There were a few pretty good restaurants & bars within a 10 minute walk. We did not eat at the restaurant connected to the hotel. We were very excited to... More

Ahuriri has many restaurants which are all within walking distance of the Bluewater Hotel. Napier has a lot to offer so it is quite disappointing that the reception staff were not more helpful in this area. Hopefully you will give Napier a second chance and come and see what we really have to offer, especially in January and February when... More
