Blue Waters - Resort hotel in Kundapura - Udupi, India

Hidden Gem with amazing staff, spacious rooms facing the backwater and in budget. Stayed for 4 days - totally worth it. Only improvement - Breakfast Menu was same all days - little variety can add excitement. Overall food options for dinner other menu is decent and taste is good but not great.

Average hotel. 1. Main USP while booking seemed to next to river/backwater which is not much of use since the area is dirty and has no proper access to river and mostly that place is used by fisherman. Its 4km from nearest beach too, so not close either as you need to drive through narrow lanes to reach beach. 2. Restaurant works only on pre-order and is not live. They ask for full order atleast 45min beforehand. This was during long weekend when they claimed hotel is fully booked. 3. They falsely overcharged me for 1 item (400 vs 220) saying food menu is old. All other items in menu charged exactly at same price! So pure cheating in this case with silly reasoning. 4. Rooms: huge rooms but poor lighting and maintenance. Towels were hard as rock. Very basic quality soap and NO other toiletries provided. Very small TV and AC for such big rooms, windows won't close properly and you get a very unpleasent feel in the room. Only 2 pillows and refused to provide extra pillow for us. Couple of staff members seemed friendly, but in general staff is not too customer oriented. Expected better experience for their price. Not coming back.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER We drove down with our 4 yr old baby for a days spend . After booking and calling them we ensured that we get the room. After reaching the hotel we were told that the room that was allotted was having some issue and no rooms were available. My issue is I called them 1/2 HR back before checking in yet they did not tell me . We could not get any other rooms in the area hence we had to go back to Mangalore The manager Mr Sodhan could not even bother to pick my call . With a team of under incompetent staff i request everyone not to do your booking there .

The room was neat and spacious. We stayed in the backwater suite room and this room had a good view of the backwater from the balcony. There was enough parking space. Complimentary breakfast was included and the breakfast had a good spread of items. The only con was that there were mosquitos in our room at night. Apart from that, we had a great stay. Staff were friendly and courteous. The pool was not very clean but we enjoyed in the pool

Property is situated on the river Bank. Has large well designed clean rooms. Staff was helpful, responsive. Enjoyed the evening boat ride arranged by the hotel. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Neat view, good services and pretty spacious rooms for the price, the service was amazing. There was a slight tight parking situation but the staff handled it pretty nicely.

The stay at Blue waters Kundapura was truly a remarkable experience. The rooms were clean, tidy and thoughtfully designers. A great view only adds to the charm. It is a classic example of how good staff can transform a decent place to an extraordinary place. The staff at Blue waters and their restaurent spice club are very sweet. Their smiling faces is what we will take back home as memories. A shout to the chef, they serve the best food in Kundapura. Quite surprising why they don't figure in the top 5 list. The pool was clean and well maintained. The garden has rustic charm to it. The gym with carrom board, table tennis and cardio equipment kept us company through the rainy afternoons. Overall a good place to stay and spend some time with family .

Situated on the bank of a river this small hotel is well-appointed and spacious with a swimming pool. The rooms are large and overlooking the river. Food is good and staff is courteous and helpful.
