LOVELY STAY

We had a lovely stay at this Hotel. All the Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to please guests. Food was of a good standard and changed regularly. Would return. The Hotel is kept very clean and there was always someone polishing tables and sweeping floors.

Terrible value for money

As a silver elite Marriott member, we were very disappointed with this hotel. It really is not worthy of the Autograph collection standing, and I’m not sure how Marriott can pretend it is. On the plus side, the staff were generally lovely and helpful. Negatives however: for $1,000 a night, the suite we were given, across the busy road, was terrible value for money - it was dark, austere and with a horrible view (see image) - we were offered an alternative but it wasn’t worth moving as we only stayed a night; the shower took 5 mins to get warm; the evening buffet was pretty mediocre; the pool was closed for cleaning on the one morning (peak time) that we wanted to use it; and even though we had a late checkout, the room key stopped working an hour before.

A really lovely stay.

We (2 couples) were warmly welcomed by Tamisha at reception and were shown to our adult only rooms across the road. The rooms were beautifully arranged around the pool and were very spacious and comfortable. The hotel has 2 very nice restaurants, both serving exquisite food. The setting is beautiful with good pools and a small but stunning beach. A cocktail at sunset is a must with a lovely deck facing the sea. Everybody in Barbados was so welcoming and friendly from the moment we got off the plane. All the staff in the hotel could not do enough for us, and nothing was too much trouble. Tamisha and the reception staff treated us so well that we will definitely be returning.

Relaxing stay

Stayed 11 nights for rest and relaxation. If you want a lively partying holiday get the bus or taxi to Bridgetown or Holetown or just stay elsewhere! Yes .. I’ve read some comments! Our Spa Room was spacious with well-equipped bathroom and powerful shower. Pool was very clean and staff regularly offered drinks and frozen fruits. Staff were best i’ve come across and I’ve travelled extensively. Food whilst not gourmet standard was nice enough with plenty of choice. Wine list not so good but cocktails great. The beach is small following storms but has plenty of sun beds and water sports and classes. Did we enjoy our stay? We needed to chill and we did helped by some Spa treatments. Most definitely we would return.

A Bummer Spring Break week at Waves

I thought I was at a senior citizens resort. Everyone pretty much kept to themselves and seemed not very friendly. Waves had the smallest beach area and there was no beach to walk down for exercise. The food was very mediocre and bland. Food staff was often argumentative. Hotel room was small with only a shower; no tub. More disappointing than anything was the location of the hotel - too far away from anything to walk there. Taxis were required and rates were astronomical. Very, very disappointed with entire stay at this hotel.
