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

We have just complete our 9th visit to this hotel and it just gets better with each visit. Have booked again for christmas and new year. Love the ambience, the people, the food is excellent, the spa is first class and the place has everything we want out of a holiday. In my opinion you can't get better value. More

This is a disappointing hotel. The kindness of the staff is either extremely great or extremely rude! Most of the staff don't even take a look when asking something...it seems that they are arrogant. This is a hotel which can be named as : Virgin Atlantic hotel or British hotel. It doesn't matter, but everything is focussed on the Brits... More

The appearance of both front and back of hotel was ghastly. Spa pool and area was lovely but you had to cross a busy road to get to it. Pool in the main hotel was a concrete box with high walls - dreadfull - no planting to soften the look - also traffic noise from the road on the other... More

We stayed in March 2012 for 10 days. Our room was in the Spa side of the road and couldn't have been better. It was on the ground floor with own patio entrance and terrace facing the pool but beautifully shielded by a tropical garden. The rest of the grounds were equally pleasant and tranquil with good quality and well... More

I can't comment on the ammenties at this hotel as we never made it past check in...arrived at 11pm to be told they didn't have our room! The manager explained due to heavy rain and flooding we had to change to a room overlooking the road (we had booked a deluxe ocean front). When I asked about compensation for the... More

Booked into Almond Beach but rebooked here after Almond Beach closed down Agree with previous reviews that the website is really quite misleading, photos do not reflect the actual appearance of the place. Entrance is quite strange, looks like you are being dropped outside some disused office block, but then you realise this is Waves. A sign might help it... More
