Bluewater Lodge

I stayed in an 8-bed dorm and overall had a comfortable stay. The bed, pillow, and blanket were good, and I slept well, although the mattress felt a bit like an air mattress. There are lockers available, but you need to bring your own lock. The reception staff were always helpful, whether it was arranging a taxi or answering questions. I also liked the small café at the hotel — it was cute and convenient. Bathrooms and toilets were close by, especially if you stay on the ground floor. The only downside was that another guest turned off the air conditioning during the night, which made the room uncomfortable, but that was more about the guest than the hotel itself. Overall, I felt safe, comfortable, and I liked staying here.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming throughout my stay, and the location was excellent, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area. However, there were a few things that let the accommodation down. The only toilet was located outside the room, which wasn’t very convenient, especially at night. The showers were also consistently cold, which made them quite uncomfortable to use. I was also a little concerned about security. The wooden balcony door didn’t feel very secure and seemed like it would be relatively easy to force open, which made me feel uneasy when leaving my belongings in the room. Overall, the staff and location were great, but I think improving the facilities and security would make for a much better experience.

Blue water lodge is a good accommodation for backpack or solo travelers due to the price, but they are also very clean and well managed. Staff is nice and polite. Bathrooms are clean overall.

The place has less depreciated due to lack of maintenance. Don't attempt to book this place ,there is bed bugs and had to burn all my carry on clothes. The management is aware of this bed bug issue and claim the owner is in New Zealand. The mattresses are old and torn with fleas where during the sun drying due to bugs the pets sleep on them.The showers drip with water and its not hot .No toiletries to use .Management should make a 2 Day closure for fumigation which includes the rats and cockroachs .Ministry of Health and Tourism should review this place .Use the pool at your own risk if you make a booking!

Bluewater Lodge was excellent value at £12 pn if staying in the dorm room. It was clean & air conditioned. They have a swimming pool, which I saw being cleaned / tested for water quality at least twice over 4 days! There are no kitchen facilities with the dorm but there is plenty of eating places around.  There is comfortable seating in the entrance, loungers by the pool & a book swap cabinet. The showers were adequate & ok considering the price. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.  I wasn't a great fan of the area once I saw it. But if you need to be around Nadi / the airport you might as well be there as anywhere. There are more upmarket hotels there, so some people must like the surroundings. There seemed to be a good beach bar around the corner & a taxi for Nadi was F$10 which could be picked up directly outside.

Positives: - The room was clean - the bed comfortable - The AC worked well - Nice pool - friendly, helpful staff Negatives: - no refrigerator, kitchen or dinning area - the 2 lamps in my room didn’t work - the shower head was working properly Considering it was the cheapest room for 1 person, no real complaints

I stumbled upon this charming guest house on a side street a block from the Wailoaloa beach after an uncomfortable night at the less than "Ideal Bed and Breakfast" nearby that charged double the price for a dorm room bed. By contrast, Bluewater Lodge had real mattresses, better a/c, and a much stronger Internet signal, as well as a pool.

We stayed in a nice big room upstairs with good air con and bathroom. The front desk staff were so sweet and helpful.
