Awesome Quaint Beach Resort

424alb (Dayton, Ohio) on Jan 10, 2025

My wife chose to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in Barbados instead of having a party. She explored numerous locations with various ratings and ultimately selected Waves. Right off the bat, it seemed that some of the travel ratings must be fake, as we didn’t encounter any issues with the staff. Everyone was courteous, even when they were clearly busy. Waves is a smaller hotel (around 70 rooms) in a less touristy part of the island. It has a quaint beach with roped off swimming area. It has an open concept and is very clean. Our room was awesome with a great view of the Caribbean. Staff were exceptionally nice and were ready to give advice about the surrounding area. If you require a taxi, they’re ready to assist. The breakfast buffet was great, with plenty of options. Between breakfast and lunch, you can grab snacks, salads, panini in the Kýma Coffee Bar. Lunch and dinner are a mixture of buffet and menu options, according to the schedule. The bar is open for most of the day, for those that wish to partake. If you do, the service was outstanding. I highly recommend the spa for anyone who loves to unwind. It truly enhanced our trip.

Perfect hotel for relaxation

Korky16 (Chelmsford, United Kingdom) on Jan 05, 2025

When we checked in there was a common theme of returning guests, when we checked out we honestly understood why guests keep returning. From the moment we arrived we loved the resort, our room was amazing, as was the food, drinks and service. All staff members were attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The beach is small but more than adequate for the number of guests, never had an issue getting sun loungers and the sunsets each evening were breathtaking.
