After a long drive we finally arrived at the Blue Water. We had a welcome drink and somebody guided us around. Unfortunately, it was raining the whole day. But the room was very beautiful and we were glad we could make use of our bubble bath. The other days the weather was good and we did some nice trips. Sri... More

We didn't initially book this hotel but were moved here after we found out that the hotel we had originally booked had the builders in fixing the swimming pool!
