Just returned from 13 nights at the Blue Water and would recommend the hotel and especially the staff for their helpful and friendly attitude. Our original rooom was very slightly dissappointing but we were later upgraded to a better room with jacuzzi bath and better decor, this was after we agreed to vacate our room during a 4 day tour...

We stayed at the blue water for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon. The hotel is set in lovely grounds on the beach at wadduwa and is about a 2hr car journey from colombo airport. If you've not been to anywhere like Sri Lanka before the car ride is a great experience! If I had to rate one thing... More

We have stayed 10 days at the Blue Water hotel in Sri Lanka. I read many reviews before deciding on this hotel and made the right choice. We had initially booked 1 room. There are only 4 in the hotel on top floor, so great views. 2 were still being refurbished when we left but I would really recommend paying... More

We stayed at the 5* resort, The Blue Water in Wadduwa, 20 or so miles from Colombo, but thanks to the roads (and crazy Sri Lankan quadruple overtaking) this takes longer than one might think in a taxi. The hotel is hidden away, across the railways tracks, near the waterfront; the hotel is luxurious with open planned vistas out to... More

We stayed in Blue Water during christmas and new year eve. It was an amazing experience to have a dinner, full of beautifully decorated tables and all kind of food. The staff was very kind and ready to serve. We stayed for two weeks, the first week was a litle rainy and windy. So we went to daytrips with Ben... More

This has to be my most adventure filled holiday. We booked through Kuoni and had our first part of the holiday in Kuramathi, Maldives so we had high expectations. I would recommend going All Inclusive because the food is absolutely amazing. For each meal we had in our very short week’s stay we were spoilt for choice. I could not... More

Just home after two glorious weeks in Sri Lanka. The Blue Water is a peaceful haven with the most gracious, delightful staff who are both helpful and friendy anytime day or night. This hotel has the most beautiful setting with views over the palm trees in the garden to the ocean beyond. The sunsets are breathtaking and I don't think... More
