“Very nice! Would stay at again!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

people found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I just stayed at this hotel last weekend. We stayed in the "Studio apartment" room. We had an angle view of the ocean, and our own private balcony. It was very lovely. The furniture was a bit dated, but we didn't mind at all. The only downside to the room was that the shower was small, but it had hot water, nice pressure, and over all we enjoyed ourselves. The pools and the jacuzzi were amazing, and the bar and deck were great! The bartender was very friendly and personable, and the drinks were tropical and delicious. The room was big and definitely enough room for the two of us, and the staff were extremely friendly and enthusiastic to help us out. After a late night out, we couldn't find a parking spot in the suites across the street so we had to park in the parking garage, and we had to call the security guard to let us in. When he came, he made sure we had a spot, and drove us back to the front door of our hotel in his golf cart! It was great.
Overall, we had a great time, and we would definitely book our vacation again with Bluewater Resort.

“Had a great time”

Me and my children stayed there June 2011, we had an angle oceanfront suite. The rooms were clean upon arrival. Daily maid service was sporadic and had to ask for towels a couple of times, but overall was a great motel. Loved the pools and entertainment nightly. Breakfast buffet was good. great view of the ocean and boulevard.

“Beautiful Bluewater”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011

people found this review helpful

After reading all the reviews on this site we almost canceled our reservation. I am glad we did not. When we arrived we were greeted by the staff and were impressed with the unit. Everyone was super friendly and answered any questions that we had. Throughout the week if we had a question it was answered promptly and with enthusiasm. I also observed Bluewater staff members cleaning bathrooms, mopping, collecting garbage, painting throughout the duration of our stay. I want to address a couple of the common complaints of other reviews. I did not smell urine in the elevators, although when we arrived I did smell a distinct smell. I realized they had just mopped the elevator floors and think that may be what the smell is that some other reviewers are complaining about. The pools are small however I believe the pictures on Bluewater's site show what they have accurately. I did notice some sand in the pool closest to the ocean. However, I watched several people come off of the beach and jump in the pool, thus tracking sand into the pool. Our room had an oceanview which overlooked the pool and I observed one of the workers cleaning the pool daily. I also noticed that some complained about the size of the tvs. I do not go on vacation to watch tv. The tvs are fine. I did notice in anther unit they had a large flat screen tv. So I think that just depends on the unit. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed in 905 through Global Connections. If you are staying there a few tips that the Global Welcome Book does not tell you:
Ice Machines are on even floors.
Trash chute is at the end of the hallway.
If you are staying through Global you are not eligible for the free breakfast.
Internet is slow!

“Great Condo Had A Great Time”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The resort is awesome. very clean, friendly / considerate staff. Great view of the ocean (angle view) unit 615. The check-in and out process took only a few minutes, and we found the parking to be more than ample. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. The indoor, outdoor pools and hot tubs were also very clean. The resort is right on the beach with beautiful beachfront views and also right near shops and restaurants. The hotel has its own little store, restaurant and pool side bar.

Room Tip: great unit #615 very clean and up to date!

“Very disappointing.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

people found this review helpful

I'll start off with the positive: Pools were nice and clean. Bar was good. Friendly bartender. Beautiful beach front. Breakfast was good. Servers very nice.
Negative: We stayed in a efficiency apartment. Upon arrival around 7 in the evening after driving 10 hours we were plenty tired and looking forward to a relaxing evening. Entering our room we were disappointed right off the bat. Stained carpet, very dated furniture, gross bathroom. I wouldn't dare walk barefoot in there! We found peanut shells under a table! We stayed the 2 nights we booked since it would have been difficult to find another place to stay. We will never go back there.

I would like to take this opportunity to respond to your review about your previous stay at BlueWater. We now have a new management team in place. It really concerned me when I went to TripAdvisor and saw some of the comments that were posted. I want you to know that these situations are being confronted with the most extreme urgency. A new staff that is dedicated to customer service is now at your disposal. I encourage you to return to BlueWater to witness the changes that have been made, to make customer service our #1 priority!
