A hotel which a little bit outdated, it has local standard 5 stars The structural condition is rather 3 stars, In the pool often missing the mosaic tiles on the floor, The concrete around the pool bar was not renewed, the grass is growing between the joints The chairs have already gotten a bit old, sand off and redecorate would be an advantage There is a large krähenproblem, the leftovers are on the lawn, But also on the chairs and loungers visible, not to mention the dauerkrach. The expulsion by the staff stops just three minutes! Dogs and cats have ... in such a hotel nothing lost read more

The hotel is superb. We inhabited a suite on the 4th floor. This had a small kitchen, guests toilet, 2 large flat screen' s, bath tub with massaging jets, as well as a massive balcony. To the service there is so lots to say: we can not prevent us remember, ever the door to the restaurant to open or the chair the sit down even up to pull. The buffet was versatile, varied and daily with a other Subject deposit. The beach is directly at the hotel. The loungers are however by the pool as the beaches in Sri Lanka ... never to the hotel belong. The loungers are immediately with mats and towels bestücht once you a beautiful spot carefully chosen. These are free of charge to use. Because we in September arrived, was the peak season the decay. So it was in the hotel nice and quiet. read more

    Hotel lies some meters behind the main street and behind local residential street. At the start you are starled by briefly if you through the alley but then takes you in paradise! Excursions could in the hotel or at the ' beach boys' are booked. You will right at the hotel fetched ( pünkltich to the minute!)

We were after a strenuous round trip by Sri Lanka still 5 days guests of the Hotel Blue water in wadduwa. It is a very large hotel complex the currently being renovated. We felt by the construction didn't bother us, it should only be mentioned. The rooms are really large, clean and well equipped ( jacuzzi, DVD Player, flatscreen tv. ). Nearby the hotel, there is ( in comparison to Jetwing blue negombo) no restaurants/ pubs and therefore we were very happy all-inclusive booked had. This may also already be an advantage, but it seems certain audience allure. So we ... had very many Russian Compatriots, but also Ukrainian and Poland. After statement of the hotel it is only in the low season so, hopefully. Russians are people like you and me, unfortunately drink some very much ( all inclusive) and behavior then accordingly. For us it was just one of the did not behave at, apart from that were the Russians bearable. In previous reviews I have read the offered dishes not so great if, this I can't understand. We had 4 times buffet with a very great selection food. 1 time we had a 5-course menu, really delicious. What more is noticeable negatively is the the beach in front of the hotel nothing special is beautiful ( for example in comparison to Jetwing blue in negombo in which we before our round trip resided). Also the pool could or other Makeover. Also mentioned should be the right behind the hotel the line Galle Colombo along leads, the sounds of the train didn't bother us (maybe 5 times per day a kind of Schiffshupe ). The staff are almost all English and very friendly. We would the hotel book immediately again and hope the less Russians are present. read more

Although the hotel is already somewhat older, this is made up for by the beautiful garden, the location directly at the beach and by the always friendly and attentive service. The food in buffet form was very good and diverse, particularly the Desserts and the fresh fruit are recommendable nonetheless. The hotel is particularly suitable to relax or as a conclusion a round trip. The environment of the hotel is against not appealing, you can only get in with a driver on the road car. read more

We have comfortable and very, very. It was a dreamlike vacation. The only thing what it to criticize the Badeanne was. The looked a little tired. But apart from that everything was great. The service in the palm trees garden around the pool it was crazy. Everywhere are drinks serves. So if you definitely not you want to in this hotel itself no prank do! read more

the staff are very hard-working and friendly. The hotel is clean, but in some places in need of renovation. The food is diverse, the meat is however mostly hard, tough and fatty. There are grilled fish too few. Starters and desserts are wonderful. For larger or small excursions applies one at manju( either at the beach or the opposite the entrance of the hotel). Spoke good German. all in all it is a very nice clean hotel with beautiful garden area and large pool. read more

The hotel is located on the west coast in the middle a large park (especially the Coconut Palm). It is a category five star hotel and its own with the label 'great hotels of the world' excellent.

    The standard room ('deluxe') are all about 25-30 square meters large and feel commodious. All of the rooms are facing the sea and are provided with also a good-sized balcony// terrace with table and chairs. The furniture is practical, including a couch and coffee table. Layout of the room (323) - air conditioning (always, pleasant silent) -Ceiling fan (rusty and noisy; could therefore not be used) TV (various domestic and into. Channels. German program: DW TV Asia) - kettle with always again filled supply of tea and coffee - fridge = mini bar -in-room safe, free use telephone anti-mosquito device-electrical( daily renovation the rumours tablets) Furthermore, there were every day two 0.5 liter bottles of water brought to our room. the bathroom is right commodious, with washbasin, bathtub, toilet, Clothes line and hair dryer. The hair dryer was also an outlet, as you from GermanyEurope knows, so that one definitely not an adapter required. the room and there were also other guests in our opinion-is decent and 'function Abel', but in no way expectations 5 star hotel offering many facilities and comforts an. Everything was quite old and'shabby'. The rooms the offer impression a 'investment back'. all in all but we were however content, especially, because everything worked, in particular the air conditioning was great and by the height of the ceiling of the room eveningsas far as night cooled, that it could be turned off to sleep. It's also important to mention, that we did not have any'creatures' or mosquitoes in the room and that they are not clairaudient.

  • Gastronomy
    6.0

    The hotel has a large hall (inside: fully air-conditioned; there is also an outdoor areas) for thebooked' dishes, and a large area, where you 24 hours drinks and food from the menu (outside the reservation or as all inclusive performance) can be. About out there is a bar, a nightclub and a pool bar, everything is nicely decorated. we had bed and breakfast and in many nights, because of the lack of possibilities in wadduwa, in the hotel a la carte eaten. the breakfast buffet was very rich and offers a variety of local dishes( meatand fish Curries, Dhal, Hopper, vegetables, Curd and so on), fresh fruit (pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, bananas, Dates and so on), as well as 'classic Elements ', as a wide selection of bread (baguette, croissants, toast and so on), Sweets( cakes, Muffins, etc.), bacon, eggs in all variations, tomatoes, salad, breakfast cereal (corn flakes, muesli etc.), jam (under other wood apple jam as well) and for all, the not at all without a small selection of sausage and cheese. Parts of the package vary daily. Drinks: coffee, tea, milk, various juices or Lassies. Freshly squeezed. we have always been more locals things (you used to pretty darn easy access to a morning super sharp curry...), as well as fresh fruit eaten. the menu of the La carte restaurants offers a relatively big selection both local( especially Curries), as well as 'international' dishes (steaks, seafood, fish, vegetarian, pasta and so on). The quality of the dishes, we eaten have, was very good and was characterised by a very creative chef. Especially recommendable are very authentic and curry dishes-we stayed in Sri Lanka to other places so some of these type of food eaten, but nowhere they were so varied and somehow'exotic' as in the blue water. the prices are a bit higher than in the 'average', however the quality is outstanding. We had throughout the stay no stomach/intestinalproblems. The all inclusive offer seemed very decent to (all in buffet form, theme, etc.). tip: 2-3 weeks in those blue water hotel should, because of lack of dining supply of environment, directly from home half board book, which all in all probably cheaper, as often in the hotel having regard to food menu

    The numerous staff the hotel is very friendly, helpful and we also said never tip or similar. All of them spoke very good English, some even German. the rooms were daily completely cleaned, everything was very clean. The hotel features many comfort: 24 hour-à la carte restaurant very reasonably priced and fast laundry service bar/nightclub (not open every evening) -large, beautiful pool area with complimentary beach chairs/towel service pool bar spa( massages etc.) - fitness room (free of charge; but not very appealing) -Chess and table tennis are free of charge (figures/balls/ Rackets are complimentary available) -the use the squash and tennis courts is available for a (extremely small) price - daily strict entertainment/entertainment program (pool gymnastics, beach volleyball, beach run and evenings live music) - 'shop-arcade' (jeweller, souvenir shop, beauty salon) on complaints they reacted immediately, the staff are also very uncomplicated, for example you can at the front desk free make phone calls, etc.

  • Sport & Entertainment

    The hotel offers a very large recreation center. This is essentially a large lawn with coconut palms, other tropical plants, a large and interesting designed pool, as well as further water expanses. The coconut trees are shade, especially in the comparisons to sun screens, very pleasant and give certain 'Tropical feeling'. You can get beach chairs and towels free of charge available -all the same, whether all inclusive or not, on the whole pool area there drinksand food service (natürliuch only for ' all inclusiveguests' free of charge). Tip: King Coconut. in the area there are essentially 4 species: stiff Crescent( sweet!), small, white cranes (do not disturb), green parrots (from mid-afternoon/evenings) and crow. The latter seemed a bit unexotisch, belong in Sri Lanka but apparently always. They produce a certain noise backdrop, you will quickly used to. The important thing is, that you don't immediate under a coconut (distance: from 2 meters) puts, the probability is very high, ' digestion residues' gravy train. In some descriptions of the hotels here of this Horrorstories black Birds, a supposedly stay by the pool eTC. Impossible make, the but we didn't understand, it is not so bad. the beach is dreamlike nice and near clean. All in all they are beaches in this region very remote, however also not always clean. Sri Lanka is a developing country and often live poor people near the beach, so that one didn't have trash 100% free beaches expect( as mentioned: near the hotel everything was spic). A bit annoying were the 'beach boys', these are the people, a at the beach or anywhere else to raise, in order to sell something. In wadduwa there are quite a few, mainly middle of tour operators. the sports facilities of the hotel I mentioned in the chapter 'service' already, outside there-Trivandrum massages, which the hotel offers, however to prices almost means European level (tip: directly opposite from the hotel there is a supplier). the hotel offers in the lobby two Internet computer, you could use for free. There are also Wi-Fi, however rude high prices (Billing). evenings there was always live music of daily changing band. The quality was very different, of ' is not at all'to' very good ', everything was there. Once we experienced in the hotel a beautiful traditional dance performance, it is also, at least once weekly a Bull past, on which one( eventual even free) riding.

  • Location
    4.0

    the hotel lies immediate the pretty deserted beach of the Indian ocean and is an integral part of the town of wadduwa, about 30 kilometer south of Colombo and about 60 kilometer away from international airport CMB is located. The ' village center' is located a half mile south of the hotel, but there are also in the immediate area smaller grocery stores, a clothing and souvenir shop, as well as a Ayurveda-center ( reasonably priced than the hotel!). A few meters from the hotel away inland runs along the railway line Colombo- Matara. You need however no concerns about noise to train: on the one hand, it will, in the comparisons to European Routes, of relatively few trains traffic, to other are both the rooms, as well as the pool and all the main areas of the hotel facing the ocean floors, so that you really can't hear. the main street is about 200 meters away from the hotel, there is a bus station with the connection to the center in wadduwa, to kalutara (next larger city), Colombo and Galle. in a few hundred meters away there are train stations, from there you can reach nearly all villages on the west and south-west coast between Colombo and about 3-4 kilometer away. Matara (North) with a higher dura panaroma train station: there were a lot more and faster trains, in order for example after Colombo or bile to drive. the place is typical for wadduwa Sri Lanka niche proportions: Left and right of the lively main street rows shops and banks, the townscape is, apart from Temples or similar, more ugly. There were various of daily need, a market, supermarket, Clothing, etc. we had the feeling, that very few people to leave the hotel seem, so that you in wadduwa and elsewhere, in contrast for example to destinations in Europe, hardly any tourists see, accordingly is the offer targeted on this. Practical conclusion is for example the fact that in wadduwa there hardly restaurants is. Numerous possibilities for excursions will be a in the hotel of the various travel agencies (TUI, its, Thomas Cook and so on) as well as before and behind the hotel so-called 'beach boys'. We have a 2-day go to Kandy/Sigiriya/Dambulla over the Jahn Reisen part (because of strong coffee drive nature only partly recommendable) and a 2-day trip, the US in Yala-National park and after Galle led with the hotel area internal travel company( recommendable nonetheless). as you because of the link transport and very ridiculous driving on Sri Lanka actually no car rent, is very much to be avoided when going on excursions other dependent. Colombo or parts of the West and South Coast (bile, Bentora, beruwela, Mount Lavinia and so on) you can however very well on own fist by bus or train explore. Both means of transport are in comparison to the small train-taxis very quickly, you can breathe less exhaust and they are extremely cheap( prices in the cent area). From kalutara or panaroma dura can get you into private express buses, the air-conditioned, faster, but also a bit more expensive are. The frequency of the public transport is very good, however there are basically no plans, so that bustrain ride (depending on destination) is more complicated than in this country. As the locals but almost all very well know, speak English and helpful are, this issue is not too wild. More tours (with exception from Kandy) you can, if you don't have a great deal of time and persistence, only within the framework of the organized go on excursions or rent a car with driver (50-80 euros per day). all in all should you on regional negotiating on Sri Lanka more time than in Europe, the average speed on the roads is an estimated 30 kilometer/hour we were all in all some of the immediate environment disappointed, on the other hand places such as Kandy, Galle or Colombo it is pretty easy to reach.

The hotel is about twelve years old and has a hundred rooms. In spite of the age it was in good shape which also for the pool, the spa, the tennis court and squash hall is concerned. The beach and the garden each morning cleaned. There are some crow and other birds during the day are but they are not a nuisance. In the evening hundreds of small parrots go to the palm trees in the area to stay. This is quite a spectacle but as soon as the sun is literally unusable is quiet again. Trips in hotel's offers ... and as well organized. For the individual wishes are also a couple of guys on the beach offer itself as a leader. There can particularly recommend it. Ask for Sumi.

The hotel served us to acclimatize and as a starting point for a trip. The ocean was quite rough under, swimming hardly possible due to the current. The pool area is quite spacious. A bit disturbing the shoals of crow we, the surrounding palm trees in its hold. The food (half board) was rich, there are some " local " food, as well as many international favourites-(for children) is something for everyone. The rooms were actually quite large, but with a Murphy bed not very spacious-for sleeping and relaxing it was enough. The service is good, sometimes a bit overzealous ... in Ware removal and cleaning of the bath towels. During our stay was just " wedding-season ", every day a few weddings in the hotel, even with an elephant for the bridegroom. We were after the short stay (3 nights) this hotel is a good choice for strengthened further trip and would recommend this hotel highly recommend for this purpose. read more

All in all, was worth the stay at this hotel in any case. The staff was very friendly and attentive to your every need. The food was really delicious and above all varied. The rooms are clean and a good size. The grounds with the multitude of palms is great. The only drawback were the many crows, the every day by the pool sat. Excursions were offered by local guides offered, but also by locals " beach boys ". We have a two days trip with GP made and good country and its people know.
