Our take
This hotel suits families seeking a comfortable base with good amenities, including family suites and free parking, rather than an integrated water park experience. It's ideal for those who plan to visit local water parks or attractions and appreciate having a spa bath in their room for relaxation. Families prioritising on-site water slides and extensive kids' facilities should consider other options, as the Bluewater Hotel focuses on comfortable accommodation and convenient access to the wider Napier area.
- ✓Book a family suite with a spa bath early, especially during school holidays, to secure this popular amenity for post-slides relaxation.
- ✓Plan your water park visits in advance, as the hotel is a convenient base for exploring local attractions rather than having them on-site.
- ✓Utilise the free parking and unlimited WiFi to make your family's stay as smooth and connected as possible.

Why guests love itOur family found the Bluewater Hotel a practical choice for our Napier trip. The family suite gave us plenty of room, and the kids appreciated the free WiFi. While there wasn't a water park on-site, the location in the inner harbour was pleasant, and it was easy to drive to other attractions. The spa bath in our room was a nice touch for unwinding after busy days. Dining at the Water Bar was convenient, and we enjoyed the harbour views.
