Active Advisories
As part of the rebranding to an Autograph Collection® Hotel, we began renovations of Waves Hotel & Spa in September 2023 with an expected completion date of May 31st, 2024.
The Adult-only section of Waves Hotels & Spa is still closed. When reopened, this enhancement will be a full renovation of 18 spa guest rooms. During the closure of the adults-only areas, the hotel will continue to operate the spa on the seaside section of the hotel.
The Seascape, Kyma and Shiso restaurants are currently open. The renovation and re-imagining of Shiso restaurant will start April 12, 2024,
During the closure of the Shiso restaurant on the adults side, the Shiso menu will be offered on select nights at Seascape Restaurant. In addition, there will be three theme seaside culinary activations; BBQ, Fish Grill and Mediterranean nights.
The main beach side building of Waves Hotel & Spa will continue to remain open. The guest rooms on this side will experience soft refurbishments during the renovation dates.
The noise impact of the renovations will be minimal, the management team will continue to focus on all efforts to minimize the impact to the guest experience during their stay with us.

Fantastic
kettylemary54 (Warwick, United Kingdom) on May 04, 2024
From the minute me arrived, given a great cocktail and everything well organised reception staff were fantastic. We were in a sea view room which was outstanding and defo feel value for money. The restaurant is doing its best accommodating the fact only one open, food was lovely so much choice. ( would of been nice that virgin had made us aware) but hotel doing there best and the customer service everywhere in the hotel is fantastic, little nice treats throughout the day was lovely. Excellent leadership and management team interested in your feed back and reflects that staff feel valued, two many names to mention but first time been to a hotel and every member of staff were fab. Can’t wait to return to hotel and beautiful island.
Beautiful Barbados

Had a lovely time at Waves Hotel. Having been notified previously that the adult section of the hotel is being refurbished we were offered an ocean front room as compensation. We were welcomed at reception with a welcome cocktail which was a nice gesture. Ocean Front room was excellent overlooking the sea with lovely views. Very spacious with a good patio area and settee. Only issue was that the wardrobe looked a bit shabby, could do with replacing. Staff at this hotel were very helpful and friendly but at times they were kept very busy at peak times especially in the restaurant. Food here was very good on the whole, but think the choices of the al a carte menu could have been a bit more varied as the same choice was offered on more than one occasion. All a la carte meals need to be reserved at reception for the same day or day after. There are time slots to choose from from 6.30pm to 9pm. The restaurant was very busy at times and we had to wait over an hour to be served a 3 course meal. Although the food was good the waiting time was a bit of a let down. It seems that there were not enough staff to accommodate the amount of people at times. There was also a fish fry and barbecue which was available on the outside decking area once a week. Again reservation has to be made at reception. With the adult section under refurbishment there is only a small pool area in the hotel. It only seems to get the sun in the morning though. This did not bother us as there is plenty of sunbeds on the beach available. reserving of sunbeds is not allowed but getting one never seemed to be a problem anyway. Would recommend using the water taxi. This is available at set times to visit sister hotels along the coast. There is the Crystal Cove, The Taramind, Colony Club. Guests are allowed to use any of these hotels during their stay. Reservations are required though to use for lunch or dinner. Colony Club is not available for food as it is not all-inclusive. It can be used but charges will apply for food and drinks. We used the Taramind Hotel on a few occasions as their swimming pool was lovely and their were plenty of sunbeds free anytime of day. There was always entertainment on at Waves in the evening every day, mainly singers. Started from 8.30pm to 10.30pm. There are all inclusive drinks served nightly until midnight but staff seem to want to finish earlier if possible. We found waiter service a bit slow at times and had to go to the bar to get served. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at Waves Hotel and the location is excellent being on the West Coast as the sea is calm. Although the beach is quite small there is never a problem finding sunbeds. There is also a variety of watersports available with being All-Inclusive. These range from Paddle Boarding, Canoeing, Sailing. Water Skiing. There are jet skis but think there is a charge for these. We were informed by a staff member that the adult section which is being refurbished at present will be completed at the end of May 2024. We were also informed that sister hotels along the coast will close in October for refurbishing. Not sure how this will affect Waves Hotel being overcrowded? With the adult section due to open across the road the end of May hopefully this may not be a problem. Really enjoyed our stay at Waves Hotel, and would definitely return again sometime. This was our third time visiting Barbados, the last two being 20 years ago. Noticed it had become far busier with tourists but still a lovely island. If you want to get out and about there is a yellow bus service available over the road from the hotel. It costs 3.50 barbados dollars to go anywhere. We went to Bridgetown for a few hours. There are also taxis available but would cost more.
