I am pretty sure it said airport pick ups and when we arrived and then called nobody was able to get us, but other then that a nice relaxing hostel. Staff are nice but not to informed about other trips, but most of the hostels are on the same street so you can do your plans somewhere else. One of the better hostels to stay in if your looking to get some sleep. Yes it is right by the airport but so are all the other hostels, buy the beach, in Nadi . The food is the best from the hostels around.

the pool is dirty and you can't use it, staff is confused and mostly not present, we always waited 2 hours for dinner, you cannot control the air condition, location very bad - there is no supermarket and you have to eat and drink in the hostel, 10 minutes to go to nadi by taxi

Our stay at Bluewater Lodge had its positives and negatives. Although the private room was clean, it was very musty and the bedding felt damp. Also the air conditioning did not work very well and was quite noisy. Our room was right next to the reception area so we were woken early by guests leaving. The dinner meals we had there were OK, but the breakfast was very disappointing. Staff were friendly, however.

This place is incredible. Hands down the best food in Nadi, maybe Fiji! Wonderful people; Joe and Fiona are so helpful with forward trip planning and in any other way they can be. Really it is a great place with a lovely atmosphere. If you are looking for a place to stay in Nadi, don't go anywhere else, I would reccomend this place 100's of times over!

I stayed at the Bluewater lodge for five nights and was very impressed with the overall running of the hostel. The staff were all very friendly cheerful and would do anything for u. The first night I arrived at the hostel I was the only person there but I was made to feel very welcome and really almost treated like royalty,they created a lovely atmosphere for me with lovely music and as I sat and sipped my cocktail I watched the sunset above me a wonderful start to my holiday.!

Run by friendly couple. Fiona is very helpful in planning next stages of your trip. Having air conditioning and free WiFi is a great bonus and is more than the other hostels in this cluster offer. It's definitely a quieter hostel but very close to the others if you want to socislise.

Lovely hostel with welcoming staff and comfortable rooms. The home cooked food was amazing. The swimming pool needed cleaning and was not clean enough to swim in.

Absolute gem in Nadi, great stop off point before and after the islands. We stayed there as a couple and met some great people. Fiona's food was UNBELIEVABLE, you have to try the ginger chicken which happened to be the nicest meal I had throughout all of Fiji and the cheapest too! Very clean dorms, comfy beds and good staff. Definitely going to recommend to friends, wouldn't stay anywhere else in Nadi.

Very helpful staff. They even let us use one of their rooms to take a shower and change on our way back to Nadi a week later, at no extra cost. Admirable...

We arrived just after Cyclone Evan ripped through Fiji and Joe and his family were still in the process of cleaning up as well as getting ready to go on their xmas vacation. Despite all this, they made every effort with the limited resources they had including no power to make us as comfortable as possible. We only marked them down on value for money and facilities due to the lack of power (although I was still very comfortable)

Had an amazing stay at Blue water lodge, making good friends whether that be with other guests or the staff themselves. The breakfast of fresh fruit and toast is ideal, in being light and refreshing setting you up for the day ahead. The dinner food is also very good, and the place offers the best value and alternatives for cocktails in the area, though go over the road for cheaper beer. Staff are both welcoming and helpful, and all in all I would happily stay there again.
