The Blue Water

We stayed at Blue Water Hotel for a quick family getaway from Colombo (just about an hour’s drive away), and overall, it was a good value-for-money experience. The hotel has a spacious and welcoming lobby, and the location right by the beach is excellent. The views from the rooms are beautiful, especially during sunset. The pool is large and clean – great for both adults and kids. We had booked a Deluxe Double Room, assuming it came with a bathtub, but were told only "Super Deluxe" rooms have bathtubs – a room category that surprisingly isn't listed on their website. However, the staff were very accommodating and upgraded us free of charge after we explained the situation. We really appreciated this gesture, especially since the kids were looking forward to a bath in the tub. The rooms themselves are a bit dated and could use some maintenance and refurbishment. While they are clean and spacious, a refresh would go a long way. The food was average – nothing to complain about, but nothing exceptional either. The restaurant can get quite noisy. One disappointing moment was when my daughter wanted to take her leftover pastries from her plate to the room, and the staff declined, saying it's against hotel policy. This seemed unnecessary, especially since leftover food likely ends up in the bin anyway. That said, the friendly service, great location, and value on a half-board basis make this a solid option for a short break from the city. With a few improvements, it could be even better.

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Water Resort and were truly impressed by the overall experience. The property itself is stunning, with excellent amenities, comfortable and spacious rooms, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere enhanced by live music in the evenings. A special mention goes to Mr. Shenal, who made our stay even more memorable. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us warmly with a smile and refreshing welcome drinks. Throughout our time here, he was incredibly helpful, friendly, and always approachable. His knowledge and attentiveness truly stood out — he was happy to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and ensure we were well taken care of. Thanks to his delightful presence and the high standards maintained by the resort, our stay was smooth, enjoyable, and relaxing. We highly recommend Blue Water Resort to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-managed getaway

Hello! I recently had an incredible experience dining with my family at the Blue Water Hotel's Dragoon Restaurant. The food was absolutely outstanding, and the location couldn't have been more ideal. The ambiance was lovely, making our meal even more enjoyable. I must commend the staff for their exceptional service, particularly Niroshana de Silva, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience!

I am a frequent visitor to the Blue Water Hotel. I stay for hours because I want to spend my free time and enjoy the sea. It is a very beautiful hotel. Jeffrey Bawa has undoubtedly created a great design with great care. I must especially mention that they served me and my mother a very delicious meal. I must also mention MR. Chamal, who greeted me with a smile on his face and provided excellent service. I will definitely come back. Thank You..❤️🏝️

Had a wonderful experience. Hosts were incredible, especially one of them, Roche. Rooms and facilities available were amazing. The selection of food wasn't too bad, with a mix of local and foreign cuisine. All staff including janitorial were extremely pleasant and lovely and made the stay very enjoyable.
