Amazing family holiday ??????????

We came for a week in May half term with our 2 children. We stayed in a split level room with a pool view. The staff were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. There were great activities for the kid...s lead by Kevin and Antwone - the painting, football and cookie decorating were very well received! We benefited from two complimentary spa treatments each over in the adult only area which again was fantastic - very quiet and calm over there too. The food was wonderful - especially the omelettes! We loved meeting the staff who were all lovely. The cocktails and service were also fantastic - really can’t recommend Waves enough! We enjoyed the beach and water-sports available. We went on the water taxi for a ride which was a lovely way to see the other hotels. We did a paid for turtle trip which was great to do through the hotel and was a really special experience - we all saw at least one turtle! We did get bitten a few times - so bring the repellent! Thank you for an unforgettable holiday.
Waves: Where everything is possible!

Waves gave us everything we asked for a then some! The views were top tier, the rooms were clean, the food was good and the staff was the most hospitable of any resort I’ve ever stayed in. There was nothin...g we asked for that we did not receive. Nothing! And everything as given with a smile and genuine care. Our restaurant host made sure we had food that we craved even though it wasn’t on the menu, every night, we ate there! They have staff literally walking about asking “how can they be of help” rather than waiting around for us to need something! And our source of support was Daron! Talk about professional, mature, caring and present! Everyday and every step of the way! Even added a birthday touch for my best friend who was the reason we made the trip! He set up excursions for us and transportation to Oistins! The fish was fire! The atmosphere was the party we needed to capitalize this trip. This was our first trip to Barbados and I must say that Waves made a lasting impression and set a standard on how people should be treated and treat others on an everyday occurrence. God willing we will be back and bringing others to receive the same luxury treatment we are still talking about today only at Waves! On behalf of me and my girls, we miss you guys already!
A magical holiday

We had the most wonderful holiday at Waves. The hotel is beautiful - our room was stunning with an amazing ocean view. What made it incredible was the service and staff - everyone was so lovely and could...n't do enough for you. The only drawbacks were that the beach was a bit short - there had been a recent storm which washed some of it away, and the sister hotel was closed for renovation so we couldn't take the complementary water taxi there. Neither of these could be avoided by the hotel.
A very special place with lovely staff

We had a fantastic time at the Waves hotel. Its small size makes it very special - it feels like a boutique hotel. The care and attention provided by the staff was incredible - from the amazing restaurant ...team, including Ether at the egg station, to the brilliant bar staff who were so lovely, and the team who kept the hotel immaculately clean. A big shout out goes to Antwone who led the special activities for kids over Easter - he was brilliant and was adored by all the children (including my 7 year old). The location of the hotel is lovely - the deck overlooking the sea is gorgeous and while the beach is quite small there was always space on the sun beds. The complimentary spa treatments were also great and I loved the yoga classes too. We could not recommend this place highly enough and hope to return!
We would revisit!

We enjoyed our stay at Waves Resort. It's a quaint resort that fosters a social atmosphere, allowing guests to easily connect with one another. We met several people from different parts of the world, addi...ng to the charm of our stay. Staff: The staff went out of their way to please the guests. Special shout-outs to Tamika, who took care of us the entire stay, and Kenny at the bar. Every staff member made us feel special, always acknowledging us. Celebrating our anniversary was memorable with a bottle of wine, dessert in our room, and a special table set up for dinner. Beach: The beachfront location is stunning, providing a perfect backdrop for a tranquil vacation. The beach is shorter than expected, but didn't stop us from snorkeling and enjoying the multiple water sports. Although sailing wasn't possible due to wind conditions, snorkeling right outside the resort was a highlight, with fish and turtles. Our drinks never ran dry at the beach, thanks to the attentive staff. Rooms: The rooms were fine, though they could use a refresh in decor. Bed was comfortable Food: Dining options are varied, with a mix of à la carte and buffet styles. We enjoyed eating at Kyma (now called Organic & Co.), which offers quick eats like sandwiches, wraps, salads, pastries, and coffee. We also took the ferry to Crystal Cove resort as part of the Dine Around Program and dined at Reflections. The buffet-style meal was okay, but the open-air atmosphere was quite hot, even with fans. Activities: We signed up for the Friday Night Oistins Fish Fry, which was highly recommended. The hotel provided transportation, making it easy to enjoy the event. The Fish Fry featured numerous booths with different types of seasoned seafood, souvenirs, and music. It was packed, so grabbing an open table quickly was a good idea. Overall, Waves Resort & Spa is a wonderful choice for those looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Barbados. The combination of excellent service, beautiful views, and a variety of activities makes it a memorable destination. We would definitely come back again to the resort.
