Waves Barbados

Very comfortable and luxurious hotel. Made me feel very special. Highly recommended. Very special relaxing time which was truly all inclusive. Staff who were friendly, courteous and lots of fun. 1st visit to Barbados will definitely return

We have just returned from Waves, where we stayed for 7 nights as part of our honeymoon. The hotel, staff and facilities were incredible and we would highly recommend the resort to couples wishing to relax and unwind. We would like to extend a special thank you to Tamika, who looked after us every night at Shiso restaurant. Her kind and professional attitude really made our holiday and she is an asset to the hotel. All the staff were amazing, and nothing was too much to ask, but we would also particularly like to thank Cheryl (who makes the worlds best Omelette!), Honey, Ryan, Jacquie, Kendrick, Akhim, Anthony and the security staff. A few highlights: * Shiso a la carte restaurant- this was our personal favourite. No restrictions on the number of times you could dine. Incredible food, so please extend our Thanks to the chef and kitchen team. * Beach - literally just off the lobby and sun deck. Incredible sand and crystal calm water. It is relatively narrow but this gives it a boutique feel and we never struggled to get a lounger. * Beautiful views * Included spa treatments - great luxury and helps you to relax * Kyma coffee shop - air conditioned and wonderful fresh panninis and ice cream with changing menu. *Watersports - included and great fun. We tried snorkelling, tubing, sailing, paddle boarding and water skiing. Huge shout out to Lee and the watersports team and to Curtis (who doesn’t work for the hotel) but is a genuine and friendly guy who always made an effort to chat to people on the beach and was never pushy. * Adults only pool - spacious and relaxing. * Great and new facilities throughout the hotel Very minor things that could be improved * A small bar setup on the beach and by the adult pool would be good. Whilst you can order drinks - it would be nice to be able to pop up to a small bar and would help to create an atmosphere * Similarly the ability to order snacks or lunch (e.g paninis) by the pool at the spa side would be good * A few more staff serving drinks/food pool and beach side. The staff doing this were amazing but they were run off their feet and so sometimes the wait would be a bit long. * Music by the pool and beach would help to create a bit more atmosphere. * Air conditioning or faster fans in seascape - sometimes it’s just too hot * Keep Shiso open 7 days a week. Buffet dinner just isn’t our preference and so it was a shame that guests had to have the buffet twice a week, the A la carte style was what attracted us to Waves in the first place * Improvements needed on the ‘dine around’ programme as the system is complicated and somewhat flawed. We tried to book in for dinner at Crystal cove and were told we had to wait until the morning of the same day. Once we had we were told there was no availability. Similarly to book lunch out you have to wait until after 10am on the day. All in all a bit complicated and not really worth the hassle in the end! Our room was spacious and clean with excellent air con. We were on the roadside and didn’t find noise to be too much of a problem once we got used to it. Great housekeeping. We never had an issue getting a lounger on the beach or by the pool. Make sure you make the trip to Waves - we visited a few of the Barbados resorts, including their sister resorts and the staff and facilities will not be beaten. It may be in a few years time but we will be back!
