Our expectations were high when we booked this hotel for 2 weeks all inclusive. The brochure did it proud and a vision of 4* comfort as found in european hotel's added to our expectations. How dissapointed we were to find a rather tired, dated and poorly maintained hotel that reminded me of a 3* Spanish hotel in the 1980's. The... More

My Husband and I visited this hotel for 7 nights whilst on our honeymoon before going on a Caribbean cruise. The idea was to relax after the whirlwind of the wedding and we did just that. It was perfect. We have a penthouse which was brilliant. There was a bit of a mix up with our room when we go... More

This review is very late in being written and I have done the resort a dis-service by not posting this before. We have previously visited the Caribbean when, in 2009, we were lucky enough to stay at Carlisle Bay for 5 nights followed by a 7-night stay at Verandah. Following a torrid 18 months (redundancy for one of us, buyout... More

Our first time in Barbados but definitely not our last. Don't let the wingers put you off this great hotel. Ok it's not the most luxurious and you could be forgiven for thinking 'what the .....' when you first pull up but look beyond. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. They're not always the fastest but relax.....this is Barbados... More

I am writing this whilst sipping a fresh coffee, listening to the small waves as they lick the beach below me, looking at the georgeous turquoise sea in 30 degree heat and I have still got 5days left of my 10 day holiday with my mew wife at waves, yehaaaa. One of my major problems with this place is that... More

We returned last week from yet another fantastic holiday at Waves, we have lost count of the visits we have had over the years, firstly when it was Escape and now as Waves. It really doesnt matter what its called as nothing much changes, updated decor after the refurbishment, nice new bathrooms with better showers etc but the welcome you... More

We've just returned from 14 nights at the Waves resort and really enjoyed our stay at the resort. Overall this hotel has the fundamental elements right but we've knocked off a star as it lacks the finishing touches that would make it into a really great little resort. Speaking to a few of the other guests how people view the... More

This was our first visit to the refurbished Waves, having been to the hotel 3 times in its previous life as Escape at the Spa. We found it to be much inproved, the bedrooms have had a very good makeover, they have cut down the road noise by a closed in walkway. There is now three restaurants to choose from,... More

If you are an all-inclusive trough muncher that never leaves a complex for fear of missing the afternoon bingo and your spot by the pool, then please do not read any further... By booking the Waves I am guessing like us you had a budget to stick to, which is by no means cheap, but for Barbados is low/average. Some... More
