My return to the Waves
DHerby100 on Dec 11, 2025
We have just arrived back after a two week stay with my wife and our 4 year old daughter and thought i would leave a genuime review of our time there. Before I start, I will note that we had originally booked the Tamarind, but due to on-going renovations we had been given the choice of Waves as the next option instead. I was more than happy with this as I had stayed in the hotel previously (3 times under the Escape name and twice as Waves) so the excitement I had to take my wife and daughter for their first taste of Barbados,and being the hotel I had plenty of memories in, were very high. As a couple, The Waves is perfect, but I truly felt the hotel was missing the spark it once had for young families. Although it is classed as a family hotel, it really does not have the facilities for children that other hotels offer. It was pure luck that another young family arrived for our daughter to have a friend to play with, otherwise we would have found it extremely hard to keep her entertained. The staff were amazing as always and so loving towards our daughter. It was also nice to see some long serving staff from years back still there (Valerie, Kenny to name a couple). The food was delicious, from breakfast through to evening meals. Although the kids menu is great, we felt the portions were massive for our 4 year old and it is not far off an adult meal size , which was a shame to waste most nights. The room was perfect for our needs, always clean and tidy with room service doing a great job as usual. Only gripe was hallway noise at night (other room doors slamming shut and people talking loudly) seemed to echo through the halls quite a bit but apart from that we cannot complain. The beach is small, always has been but we did not find it an issue with beds, and the hotel staff on the beach very attentive with drinks. The watersports staff, seemed to be a different entity to the hotel and felt quite intimidating when you approached them and not very engaging. The family pool which is very small, again, we struggled to keep our daughter entertained here. There are some left behind floatations there but really not much else to do in such a small area. I spoke to a few people and many suggest the "adult only" pool on the spa side, and the family pool should be swapped. This hotel once had a games room with a pool table, a shop (now a dark wasted space for changing towels and planning tours. It just seems to be a total shame these have gone. As a whole Waves should look into bringing something in for children of a younger age to keep them entertained, if not, it might as well be an adults only hotel. Would i come back? As a couple, 100%, but with a young family, unfortunately not. Which is a shame as i have such fond memories of the hotel over the years.
