We arrived at the hotel after just short of 3 hrs travelling by car from the airport, playing dodgems all the way. Upon arrival we were given drinks and a cool cloth to wipe away the grime from the journey and was truly welcome as it was very hot. Once we had checked in, and given our All Inclusive bands,...

recently (14.5.2012) our daughter was married in the hotel with drummers, dancers & Monica the elephant as the mode of transport. An excellent day for one & all. Thanks to the hotel wedding co-ordinator. The day trips were tailor made to our requirements by BEN TOURS, literally out the front gate & over the railway line. 'Sumi' was our main... More

This was our 4th hotel in Sri Lanka and this hotel has a lovely setting with large grounds leading up to the beach. The room was on top floor which was great for views. the building work on the new rooms had started and is well screened off to shouldn't affect you. we were advised that the rooms at that... More

We had an amazing stay at Blue Water-the hotel really is like being in Paradise. We had been given Sumi's email address from Bentours before arriving in Sri Lanka and he sorted everything out for us for a great price! From the second we arrived in Sri Lanka he was there to collect us from the airport and then he... More

Hotel has a good design and nice clean territory. But buildings are bagging for soft reconstruction. The stuff is mostly pleasant and always ready to help you. But it happens you should repeat your request from 2 to 4 times. Make sure they understand you to the latter. Internet wifi connection is pure. The best way to send an e-mail... More

First impression is striking in this expansive property . Everything is open and airy. The room is a big let down This is the last work of Geoffrey Bawa, opened in 1997. The sense of peace and tranquility that you get in the common areas is overwhelming. The building is beautifully designed with a ground floor totally opened towards the... More
