This hotel offers an unforgettable experience with its outstanding staff, clean and spacious rooms, and a beautiful beach. Although the dining options could be improved due to limited restaurant availability, overall, the hospitality makes it a place worth returning to. The spa adds an extra touch, though it feels a bit limited in the current setup. It's clear that value for money is a consideration, especially against the backdrop of the amenities provided.

Our stay at Waves Hotel & Spa was simply amazing! The beach was gorgeous, and the service was top-notch, making us feel at home. The food was delicious with plenty of healthy options, and the sea view suite was stunning. However, there was an issue with coffee availability in the room, which was a minor inconvenience. Overall, it was fantastic value for money.

Waves Hotel & Spa is an incredible getaway with fantastic dining options, a beautiful beach, and exceptionally friendly staff. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for a peaceful vacation, but if you're looking for lively entertainment, this might not be the best fit. The rooms are and comfortable, though choosing a sea-view room is definitely the way to go for a quieter experience. Overall, it offers great value for money with its all-inclusive amenities and stunning surroundings.

Our stay at Waves was truly magical! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The stunning ocean views and the intimate atmosphere of the hotel made our experience feel special. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making our holiday unforgettable. The only downside was that we wished the rooms came with a bit more luxury, as some areas seemed a touch dated. Overall, an excellent value for money and an experience we will cherish.
