It has been renewed but still feels a bit oudated. Breakfast room crowded. Ok for a short stay. ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sbusiso Feb 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Best night Good ##### Sbusiso Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tracey Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort The location , the roof to pool and restaurant staff are amazing. But unfortunately the front desk staff were rude and unfriendly. We had to leave 100 Rand deposit for each towel and even the iron - not convient at all . ##### Tracey Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Beverley Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Front desk/reception was the detractor at this hotel. All other staff including restaurant to housekeeping were helpful and friendly. Not so for the staff at reception. Aloof, unhelpful disinterested would sum up the attitude they exhibited. ##### Beverley Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy Apr 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very nice stay Very nice stay at Blue Waters. The view was great. Just a couple of negatives. There was a puddle of water in my bathroom next to the toilet when I returned in the afternoon. One of my towels had blue stains all over it. But overall it was a nice comfortable stay. Clean room and very comfortable bed with much needed AC. Again, the view was the absolute best. Oh and the breakfast in the more was well prepared and very delicious. The staff absolute top notch, a 10/10. ##### Timothy Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### prashant Jun 12, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Poor WiFi connectivity, unclean, ##### prashant Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Andrea Apr 30, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service This resort was very very busy and crowded. Everyone tries to check in at the same time at 2pm so arrive later. No chance to get your room early. It was after 5pm when we got our room. The lobby area is very small after 4-5 families in the lobby you can’t move. The elevators were very slow. the view from our room was magnificent and the room layout and size was perfect. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### V Jul 31, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Feedback The place is okay, just few issues: \*The bed was not comfortable \*Pillows are hard and linen were not changed. \*Aircon is not adjustable only produces cold air \*No Iron or ironing board, if you need one, you have to payfor it. ##### V Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### didier Oct 28, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 1\. All guests had to share an iron. We had to go downstairs in the lobby to get one. No iron in the room. 2. Complimentary water bottle was not replaced after room was cleaned 3. Hotel decided to clean one of the elevator during very busy morning usage. So that left only one elevator in service 4. At one point, no porter was available to fetch anything in the room ##### didier Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Sehr schönes Hotel mit exzellentem Personal.

Had to book this as an emergency change when the initial hotel I booked (Avondale) was not available/closed. Turned out to be a great option. Amazing service and right by the beach, making it easy to get to the Comrades expo and start line. Definitely worth it. ##### Kabo Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen May 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was extremely nice.the hotel breakfast was delicious and the bar was great. I had a beautiful view of the ocean from my balcony and the room was comfortable i didnt get to the roof top pool but I heard it was awesome. The little pizza places at the bar was really good .

Tired hotel, typical of the Durban area unfortunately. Main pool on the 10th floor was under maintenance so not open. The main reason we booked this hotel! Constant noise of water flowing through pipes 24 hrs a day. Couldn’t sleep for the two days we stayed Ground floor bar played the same music all day, very loudly! No tab for drinks meant having to walk around the other side of bar to pay by card for every drink bought. Positives… Staff were very good. Couldn’t do enough to help. The breakfast was very reasonable, considering the amount of guests, although no coffee machine meant waiting ages for hot drinks after ordering. Evening buffet meal was of a good standard. ##### Mark Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Points by Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport - Dania Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Fort-Lauderdale-Airport-Dania-Beach.h2650267.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingston-Hotels.d6057821.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport South by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Fort-Lauderdale-Airport-South.h1718977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h4027173.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Pensacola Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Pensacola-Beach-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6677-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Luxury Hotels in Newfoundland and Labrador](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Newfoundland-And-Labrador-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d11167-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Baker City](https://www.expedia.ca/Baker-City-Hotels.d6367.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [PortoBay Flores](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-PortoBay-Flores.h36260275.Hotel-Information) > > [Clinton Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Clinton-Hotel-South-Beach.h877286.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel La Lanterne & Spa By Timhotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-La-Lanterne.h12425295.Hotel-Information) > > [Summerville Vacation Homes by Columbia Management](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Summerville-Vacation-Homes-By-Columbia-Management.h20231360.Hotel-Information) > > [Innisbrook Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Innisbrook-Resort.h16668.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [flights from john g diefenbaker intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yxe/flights-from-john-g-diefenbaker-intl-airport) > > [Cathay Pacific Manila (MNL) to Toronto (YYZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/cathay-pacific-from-ninoy-aquino-intl-to-pearson-intl/cx/mnl/yyz) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to General Santos (GES)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ges/toronto-to-general-santos) > > [Flights from Fort McMurray (YMM) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ymm/yyc/fort-mcmurray-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bom/toronto-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Osaka (KIX) to Taoyuan City (TPE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/kix/tpe/osaka-to-taipei) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Cozumel (CZM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/czm/ottawa-to-cozumel) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/mnl/vancouver-to-manila) > > [Flights from Pitt Meadows](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/57189/flights-from-pitt-meadows) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Europe](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Europe.d6022967.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals > [Palm Springs Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Vacation-Rentals.d180676.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) ### General > [Visit Rimini](https://www.expedia.ca/Rimini.dx6046889)
