October vacation

micky r (Kennington, United Kingdom) on Oct 22, 2024

First the bad part. Prior to arrival we were advised that the hotel’s Asian restaurant was closed for renovation. Only reading reviews on Tripadvisor did we find that the whole of the hotel facing the sea had scaffolding, a real blot on the landscape, not least as we had booked and paid for a seaview suite. We stopped receiving emails from the hotel so a phone call from the U.K. to the front desk failed to reassure us and the timid girl on reception failed to convince us otherwise. Her untruthfulness was revealed on the day we arrived. The sea view we had paid for was indeed beautiful but marred by ugly scaffolding and scaffolding boards throughout. A request for a refund has been ignored. I must give credit to Stefan, a Front Desk Manager who did come and talk to us about the hoped for removal of the scaffolding as all the work had been completed prior to our arrival. Promised removal on Tuesday became Wednesday which became Thursday which became Friday after which we gave up. Finally, on Saturday evening the day before our departure, we were able to enjoy the wonderful sea view we had been promised and paid for. At no point during our stay did we receive an apology from the Hotel Management. Phone calls, emails and Instagram failed to elicit a response from Marriott Bonvoy. Their management should be embarrassed by their failure to ensure the happiness of their client. Unfortunately, with some large organisations, this principal is ignored. So, I am calling out Ryan Rayside, whose welcome letter failed to mention the scaffolding; Kim Griffith Lewis, General Manager who was conspicuous by her absence and failure to apologise. On a positive note, the general hotel staff were apologetic, embarrassed but a real delight always cheerily greeting us and wishing us a great day. Waves is a small boutique hotel, quiet, intimate and perfect for couples. Food, although limited by only one restaurant being open, was absolutely fine with a nice choice of wines, beers and spirits. I have no doubt that all those following us will enjoy their stay to the full. There is a nice choice of motorised and non motorised water sports and off site activities to enjoy. A special mention to Stefan, Tamika, Darren, Asanti, Pamela, Kelvin, Tiara. I could mention more and all but regret that I cannot remember everyone's name.

Just returned from an eleven night stay with my husband. Great Hotel, staff were outstanding, so polite, friendly and helpful. Nice room - we stayed in the pool area. Lovely small private beach, easily accessible from the hotel. Food great, plenty of choice. Choice of two pools,one being an adult only. Can’t really fault anything !
