Blue Waters Hotel

Blue waters bad service

Was booked in from the 26th to 29th Aug 2011 ,my stay there was horrible.Our toilet was leaking and the toilet was flooding with water we called about 4 times and no one came to clean up .The only time someone came was when we decided to go to the reception in person the carpet was stinking due to the water leakage, the lady who was cleaning the room had attitude and the bedding wasnt done properly.My overall experince there was terrible and i wouldnt recommend anyone to go there.

ON THE BEACH

I STAYED HERE FOR A WEEK ON BUSINESS AND WAS VERY HAPPY. I LIKED IT BECAUSE THE SERVICE WAS GOOD AND IT HAD A QUIET FRIENDLY FEEL ABOUT THE PLACE. THE STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL AND POLITE. I THINK THIS MUST BE ONE OF THE BEST MANAGED HOTELS I HAVE STAYED IN.

ROOM WAS GOOD WITH A PRIVATE BALCONY AND LOVELLY VIEW.

THE DSTV HAD 18 CHANNELS WITH 6 SPORT CHANNELS SO I AS HAPPY.

ROOM SERVICE FOOD WAS GOOD.

I WATCHED THE SUN COME UP EVRY MORNING OVER THE HORIZON

It's on the beachfront...

Stayed at the Blue Waters Hotel during November 2007 and found it to be more than suitable. The hotel itself is located on the beachfront. It's one of those old art deco type buildings. I'm a wheelchair user and managed in and around the hotel just fine. The entrance into the hotel is ramped. I found the ramp to steep to manage on my own but had more than enough help. Lifts up to all the floors. Staff very friendly and helpfull. I was booked into room 1124, which was nice and spacious and clean. The room itself comes with the usual tea and coffee making facilities, hairdryer which is located in the bottom drawer and is permanently plugged in but the cord is too short to actually use it. Talk about having to blow dry your hair in the drawer! I found it quite funny as I'm already shorter than most! :-) There was also a small room with two beds in it, which is most likely for children. the room has it's own private balcony but is not accessible if your in a wheelchair as the door itselfs is way to narrow but I could just see over the railing... As for the bathroom, the door opens outward and the bathroom comes with both a shower and a bath. The shower has a shower chair bolted into the wall and grab rails BUT there's a 30 cm wall which one needs to climb over to enter the shower... I'm used to bathing so managed fine. The basin itself is very small and I found using it impossible as the taps have extensions on them which in turn blocks the basin and as its so small, you kinda have to dodge the levers or risk losing an eye... ;-) And very important for Durban is the aircon which worked just fine, thankfully!

Seafront Hotel

Nice hotel, friendly service. OK, so not the mosts luxurious hotel in the world, but certainly very pleasant. Would stay there again.

Breakfasts were great, other meals less so. But that is not a problem as 10 minutes walk away you have a massive foodhall with loads of good eateries - especially good for families.

Hotel is beachfront, although would not recommend swimming in the sea - undercurrents are notorious. During our time there, 8 of our party had to be rescued!

As my daugher is disabled, in a wheelchair, lifts made it totally accessible - ok, so sometimes you had to wait a bit for them, but who's in a rush!

Unique Quality: Pool was freezing cold!!!

Generally very accessible for wheelchairs - although never did work out how to get to the first floor, where the bar was located, with a wheelchair. Was told there was a way, but never found it!
