My stay at the Blue Water was pleasant overall, with spacious rooms and an amazing pool. The dining options were pretty good, but the hotel could benefit from some improvements in maintenance, especially in the bathrooms. It's a great venue for events, though the pricing felt a bit steep given the current state of the facilities.

My stay at the hotel was overall a wonderful experience. The rooms were spacious and offered stunning views of the pool and beach. The staff were incredibly attentive and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, though there were some cleanliness issues in common areas and a strong food smell at times. The beach, while generally clean, had some garbage in certain areas, which was disappointing. The dining was satisfactory with a good buffet selection, but the temperature in the restaurant was quite cold.
