Jan 18, 2025Terrible experience!!!
The worst experience ever, do NOT stay at this hotel unless you want to experience a youth hostel atmosphere and eat the worst food. Definitely not a Marriott Autograph property. No beach at all, two very small pools with a couple of lounge chairs, if you don’t have a chair by 8am you will never be able to lay down.

Jan 18, 2025Small hotel big on customer service
If you want an intimate hotel experience, where customer service is a priority, then stay at Waves! The accommodations, food, activities and staff were all top-notch. Heavy waves took out the beach and they immediately organized a shuttle to Carlisle Bay. They have wonderful excursions and were attentive to all our needs. Make sure you stay for 5 days to benefit from their spa deals. Whole heartedly recommend this hotel!!!

Fantastic end to 2024 and Start to 2025 - Thanks to all at The Waves
We have been back a week now and already missing The Waves. Returned a week ago from an amazing Christmas and New Year. We stayed in an Ocean front room which we would highly recommend. The view in the morning and the sunset at night was stunning. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the food good and varied. Much better than most all inclusives with lots of choice and quality. The hotel is split in 2 halves but we knew this when we booked and it was never an issue. The adult pool was great and the beach all be it slightly tight for space at times it was amazing. A very nice touch is the water Taxi that takes you to the sister hotels f.o.c. so you can see what they are also like. The Captain was a great fun guy. The main thing that made this an incredible holiday to remember was the staff, we know many people have said it but the staff were amazing. Kim the Hotel Manager and her team were just so good, attentive, friendly and ensuring you had a great time, nothing was too much trouble. From the moment we arrived the reception staff met us with a smile and a welcome drink. The effort made Christmas and New Year was 110%. I know we shouldnt mention individuals as it was such a great team effort but must say a special thanks to Troy and Tito always bringing drinks and nice cold ices to the beach and pool, Sheriza who always welcomed us to the restaurant with a massive smile and immaculatly dressed, Sabrina and Olivia who waited on us most of the time and made us feel so special and welcome, Cheryl who cooked our eggs how we liked them in the mornings in what must have been a furnace for her. Shamarke and Jamar who looked after us at the bar but a special mention must go to Kenrick the elder statesmen behind the bar (he will kill me but we and others new it as Kenny's bar - Sorry Kenric). Never had to ask twice and he mixed whatever you wanted how you wanted, if your beer was low the next one was there. Absolute Gentleman. Pleasure to sit at the bar with Kenric and some great new friends. Apologise we couldnt include everyone. KIM - You should be very proud of the team you have and their dedication to ensuring we had a great Holiday. Thank you so much Chris & Minna

A gem of a hotel
We have just had a wonderful stay at the Waves Hotel and Spa and cannot recommend it enough. From the moment you arrive you are treated to smiley faces, genuine kindness and amazing hospitality. Nothing is too much trouble! We stayed in the newly renovated adult only area room and it was immaculately clean and comfortable within peaceful grounds. However the room curtains do need changing as they had holes in and the patio door on the 1st floor does not lock properly and is not very secure. Food in the buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner was varied and decent quality. There was enough choice for everyones taste in my opinion. Again the staff were beyond helpful. We did not eat in the new Indian Restaurant and were disappointed that it has changed from Pan Asian which was advertised when we booked the holiday. We did not use the adult pool and spent most of our time at the beach. A warning it is very rocky getting in to the sea so my advice is to bring swim shoes. We did not use the watersports due to the sea been rough. The red flag was not very big and pretty much hidden from sight so people were swimming in the sea. I think the hotel need to make it much clearer when the sea is too dangerous to swim. The evening entertainment was very relaxing and chilled. I used the spa for my free treatments and the staff were lovely and helpful and my pedicure was great. A word of advice book as soon as you arrive as it is very busy and times are limited. The location is very quiet and there is not a lot going on around that area so you would need to travel if you want lively nightlife etc. I will admit we were worried before we arrived due to some of the very negative comments but I soon realised the only ones complaining are from the USA. I can only imagine they live like spoiled brats and eat like Royalty at home as overall we had a fantastic time and I have stayed all over the world! I would recommend this hotel for couples who just want to relax.
