Great stay at Waves

31 Mar 2025
I stayed at Waves for a week for the first time with my elderly mum and wanted to say thank you to all the staff for making us feel so welcome and for looking after us so well. Everyone was so kind and patient and every interaction we had was a positive one. The hotel is immaculately clean, the food is great, the drinks are high quality and the signature cocktail is a must to try. We stayed in an ocean front room with spectacular views and sunsets. The water taxi service is great if you fancy trying a sister hotel. Big compliments to the restaurant staff (Valerie and Carol a special mention for being so lovely) Sherefilia behind the bar and Ryan in management who are also wonderful. All the staff were to be honest. We will definitely return if we get the chance and wanted to say thank you for a great week at a lovely hotel.

Lovely Holiday

31 Mar 2025
Stayed at the Waves Hotel for a week after a cruise. All the staff were very welcoming.We stayed in the adults only side of the hotel and the room was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and it looked out onto the pool and gardens. Yes there is a busy road to cross to get to the other side of the hotel but in our experience we weren’t waiting long for the vehicles to stop and let you cross safely. Food was lovely with a choice of two restaurant’s and service at the bar was quick, efficient and friendly. We went on a trip to Oistins which was very well organised by the hotel.

Will Return

31 Mar 2025
Another fabulous holiday at this resort. I have read some poor reviews and frankly don’t understand them. I’ve spoken with other guests who are also saying they will return. Staff are superb. Water sports staff very helpful, ensuring we were able to do as much as we wanted, great tuition. Waiting and bar staff remember your preferences. Food excellent. Rooms comfortable and there is always someone cleaning. Lots of staff, we didn’t have to wait for anything. Beach is smaller than previous visits, blame Mother Nature. It will no doubt return. Saying that there were always sunbeds available. I will definitely return.

LOVELY STAY

31 Mar 2025
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

31 Mar 2025
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.

Tripadvisor Overview

Waves caters to those seeking a mind and body holiday; for those wishing for a serene, adults-only escape or a high energy communal oceanfront lounge location on a stunning West Coast beachfront setting
