    Large and generous breakfast selection with yoghurt and a specific food, for example.

    Room 1711 offered a beautiful wrap-around balcony with great breezes and room service was a treat. Breakfast was excellent, and the patio bar served delicious pizza. The hotel's location behind the beach was convenient, although the beach was littered. a pleasant stay with friendly staff. The relaxation facilities like the indoor swimming pool and sauna were a hit with the family, while nearby landmarks such as Durban ICC and uShaka Marine World provided fun activities for bonding time.

    The breakfast spread was top-notch, and the service from the waitstaff was really cool, always ready to help. The room with a sea view was just what I wished for, providing the relaxation vibe I needed after a day out. However, the glass coasters seemed unclean, a minor detail that didn't overshadow the awesome experience overall. 🌊

    We had a very enjoyable stay in Durban. The food was amazing - plenty of options. The pool area was clean and the location was perfect and magnificent, very close to the spectacular beachfront, Moses Mabida Stadium and Sun Coast Casino as well as the centre. Besides, it was 2 miles away from Kwa Muhle Museum.

    Well, there was no parking space.

    I chose this hotel for a business assembly as it specializes in offering the very best accommodation at affordable rates to corporate business. The hotel's facilities including a business centre with Wifi available were convenient for my work purposes.

    The only service I missed for my work was a more efficient room service for meals.

    Fairly clean venue with wonderful breakfasts and sea views. Marvellous central location, close enough to the sunrise, the beach wow, Close to City Centre and the public transport. Again, not far from an oceanfront casino. Great food including hot waffles, eggs, and bangers at the breakfast.

    Pros of Blue Waters Hotel: The view from the family suite was simply breathtaking, overlooking the ocean and offering outstanding sea views. The spacious room was neat, equipped with two televisions and outlet points perfectly suited for international travelers. The breakfast was mind-blowing, and the location was super, providing access to a golf course and beach. The hotel's aircon was totally jaw-dropping because it allowed us to control the room's temperature. we had a pleasant, relaxing, and peaceful stay.

    Despite some noise and minor upkeep issues, Blue Waters Hotel's perfect location for the Ironman event, accommodating early breakfast, and friendly staff made my stay enjoyable. The views and food were highlights, with potential for even better experiences with improved facilities management and attention to detail.

    ocean view from the room was absolutely breathtaking! 🌴the staff was friendly and welcoming. the breakfast had a good variety, but the fruit juices were not the healthiest. the only downside was the slow reception service. A lovely stay!
