Amazing week at the Waves Hotel
josettet204 on Apr 23, 2024
Our week at the Waves hotel was absolutely amazing! As many of the other reviews have mentioned this hotel is currently under renovation, however this did not impact our stay and possibly made the experience even better. For one we got upgraded to an ocean view room which was wonderful. Second, since only a section of the hotel is currently open, there's a reduced amount of guest which made the hotel feel small and intimate. We felt like we really got to know the staff and the other guests by the end of our week. The beach is on the smaller size, but we never had any issues finding a lounger for our group of 4. The water is very beautiful to swim in and on calmer days my husband was able to snorkel and see a variety of different fish. The water activities available to guest was also a great addition, we go to use the paddle boards and my husband went on the sail boat which he really enjoyed. The hotel also offers a variety of activities, including yoga, pilates, mixology class and spa vouchers. The yoga and pilates instructors were very knowledgeable and it was great to get a little physical activity in the morning. The evening activities consisted of music, bingo, trivia, etc which was very entertaining. The activities usually ended at around 10 pm, but that was great for us since we liked going to bed early. There was also the option to book off resort excursions (through the hotel), which I would highly recommend. Barbados is a beautiful island and getting to visit it was truly amazing. I highly recommend taking advantage of the spa, our couples massage was wonderful and a great way to really relax. The food was also fantastic. Every meal had a variety of option, we dined at the À la carte restaurant 5 out of the 7 nights and I never had the same food. The omelette bar in the morning was a great touch, the buffet lunch options were endless and there was also the option to go to the café for sandwiches, etc. Last but not least the staff at the Waves Hotel are AMAZING!! A big mention to the staff at the bar, the beach staff and activity staff, they were all so friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. You were always greeted with a Good morning from everyone and the staff really made our stay more enjoyable. We ended up visiting 2 sister resorts which highlighted even more that the staff at the Waves was truly amazing!
Amazing vacation

Our experience at Waves was amazing to say the least. I rely a lot on reviews when I travel and I really wanted to write a review to say how great this place is as it truly deserves nothing but praise. We had booked our vacation in June 2023, a pool view room, but were informed later of the renovations. The hotel offered us to stay at another property but we decided to stay anyways. We were so happy we did and it worked out great for us since we were upgraded to an ocean view room. There were no disruptions due to the construction. The staff are exceptional and really hard working. We have never been to a resort where all the staff were friendly and always happy to help. Special mentions to the bartenders in the lobby, Jabaar at the beach bar and Kevin for the activities. The food was great and a lot of choices for all the meals. I have not eaten anything I didn’t like. We did decide to do a few meals off site at QP Bistro and the Tides restaurant which I would highly recommend as well. The hotel did offer various activities and there was a sheet every morning with all the activities happening during the day. We enjoyed yoga on the deck, candle making class and the mixology class as well. We also enjoyed the booze and bingo in the evening and the trivia. Other activities were also offered at an extra cost that you could book through the resort. We enjoyed a visit to Mount Gay, a tour of the island and an evening at Oistins. The spa treatments were also great and I would recommend if you have the chance. We also enjoyed the water taxi to visit the sister resorts. We went to Crystal Cove and the Colony Club but we were happy to be returning to Waves. The water taxi was not running one day due to bigger than usual swells but that did not bother us and happy they were considerate of everyone’s safety. The beach was a bit small but we had no problems finding chairs for our party of 4. I had read this in a previous review and found it helpful to know there was a bit of an edge getting in and out of the sea but we had no issues and just took our time. My only recommendation, which is not a big issue, may be for the hotel to give bracelets to the guest so it’s easier to identify you as a guest when you are going to other resorts but they already have a system in place for a voucher if you will be having lunch on the sister properties. All in all, I would highly recommend this resort and we were all sad to leave. We are already looking to book again hopefully soon.
