Waves Resort & Spa, Barbados, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort

Good location. Liked the decor. Room was bright and spacious

Sea view room on 1st floor looked out onto an ugly corrugated roof. Generally in need of renovation. Shower water pressure low so very difficult to have a satisfactory shower and wash hair. Food was just about average

Close to the beach

My door won’t close and my daughters bathroom was overflowing

The property was in a stunning location and everything was so tasteful, clean and exceptionally well-kept. It was idyllic!

Nothing- it was perfect for us.

The staff were very helpful and friendly.

There wasn’t anything I didn’t like

Everything

Staff are very nice

Nothing

Location & on the beach

Feels a bit tired in the old part. Food was very average Some staff were super nice & friendly others were rude & unhelpful

Small property with lots of very attentive staff

Food was inconsistent - solid breakfast and fresh fish at Dosa was great but buffet was so so.

It was an overall lovely experience

Happy with everything

Beach front location

Upkeep wasn’t great. Bathroom door was broken (inside handle came off locking us inside). Patio doors also broken.

Sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal, Zimmer zur Meerseite wunderschöner Ausblick, ruhige Lage des Hotels, Option zum a la carte essen, kostenfreie Angebote zum Wassersport

Insgesamt Preis-Leistung passt nicht, Essen war leider nicht gut und hatte eine schlechte Qualität, Strand ist sehr klein und es gibt nur wenig Liegen, Resort ist durch eine Strasse getrennt

no me gusto nada

EL HOTEL NO TIENE NADA QUE VER CON LAS FOTOS QUE OFRECE Y ES DEMASIADO SOBREVALORADO

The staff here are amazing, Antwone made us feel very welcome and Esther was fabulous at the cooking station. Our room was very clean and comfortable The spa and the staff were fabulous

We stayed in the adult only which at first I didn’t like crossing the road but as soon as you get to reception and you see that view it’s all worth it.

nada

todo está pésimo, llegué con mi bebé , y cuando llegue el lugar para estar con los niños era súper pequeño, la playa es pequeñísima, me retiré al siguiente día y no me quisieron regresar mi dinero, después me regresaron dos días, y se quedaron con un día comomoenalizscion, es carísimo y más caro que los hoteles de 5 estrellas y nada que ver ese hotel debería de ser 2 estrellas

I was here in April for my honeymoon. The entire resort and island was amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They gave us great recommendations and took care of our needs.

They where working on the property

nice

Staff was amazing. We were disappointed about not having an ocean front room

Waves was under construction, so we were accommodated at the House, awesome! Wade, Rhea, Andrew and all the staff were great to us. The room was also always kept clean, twice daily. The food, the drinks, exceeded our expectations. Thanks everyone for a truly relaxing time which the family and I REALLY needed.

My family and I had a great stay at Waves Resort & Spa. The hotel is small and gives an intimate feeling which I loved. The staff were amazing, and always friendly and welcoming. The only con I had was the limited food options at the buffet and for dinner. We ended up eating out a few nights because of this. The bathroom in the rooms could also need some updating. The best part was the Ocean view rooms, and close proximity to fine dining options. I would definitely return.

The waves resort and spa is definitely a gem! If I had any tip it’d be that there’s no service from around midnight. No bar, no food. So if you’re a late eater definitely bring snacks.

The staff was generally pleasant, especially at the front desk, but my experience at the coffee shop was very disappointing. The staff there were often rude and unaccommodating. For example, we were told we couldn’t have ice cream in the general deck area and were restricted to eating it in the bakery, yet we later saw other guests walking away freely with their bakery items. When I asked to have some items wrapped to take away (as the front desk had assured me was possible), the staff member in the bakery mumbled about not having containers, which made the situation embarrassing—I felt as though I was begging. In addition, the patio in my room was leaking. Small droplets constantly fell from a beam, leaving the floor wet and slippery. I nearly fell because of it. Finally, the tubing experience was extremely unsafe and poorly managed. There was no clear explanation about what to expect or how to sit properly, and as a result, I was thrown from the tube into the middle of the ocean. The ride was rough, jolting, and painful. Despite repeatedly telling the operators it was too fast, they dismissed my concerns, saying it wasn’t rough. Unfortunately, it was a frightening and traumatic experience—I ended up with whiplash. The staff urgently need to provide clear safety instructions and adjust the speed when guests express discomfort. This activity was not enjoyable at all and left me shaken. The food was really food especially at Dosa . But I expected food round the clock

Friendly staff. Amazing customer service. They remembered your name. Beautiful Ocean view from our room. Fridge always stocked up. Gym Open 24 hours a day. Delicious meals. The only downside was getting bitten terribly by the sandflies on the beach.

Great stay - thank you

Not enough ceiling fans in the restaurant

i enjoyed the staff more than anything else about the property. The property is split across a main street with heavy vehicular traffic. There is a crosswalk between the properties. Drivers respect the crosswalk and stop when approached. A majority of the functions take place on the beach side of the property which is a short walk across the street. There are quite a bit of stairs between both sides of the properties. The property is well manicured and beautifully maintained. Very picturesque location.

Most of the staffs were amazing!

The staff was absolutely wonderful! I would definitely stay again- Thank you for providing a great vacation.

Everything

The access to the beach, snorkeling at the beach and the view.

They stay was amazing and well worth it. Beautiful beach, and minutes from even nicer beaches. The staff is what puts everything together. I want to send thanks to Astrid, Jared, Michael, Kelvin, Angela, and everyone else’s names I may have missed. They were great

You cannot say enough great things about the staff this is a gem that you truly do not want to miss such wonderful and personable experiences that will last a lifetime

Very nice for a short trip and it was near by the attractions I wanted to visit

Everything

All the staff was very friendly and helpful. The accommodated our special occasion. Food was top tier for a resort. Views were exquisite.

Staff were wonderful. A special thanks to Astrid on Reception

Great service!

The entire property was well taken care of and the staff was very attentive. Food was great, the beds were comfortable and the hotel room itself and the facilities were extremely clean. Will stay again!

The people were amazing and so full of life. Very helpful and gave us an amazing taxi service. The food was good overall great experience

It was amazing. Thanks to the staff.

The Resort was really nice and very clean. Staff was very pleasant. I only had one issue which was that I really couldn’t enjoy the balcony because it was too hot to sit out there due to the AC condenser which was blowing hot air. I don’t know whose idea it was to place them there but it defeats the purpose of having a balcony if you cannot sit there.

Beautiful boutique hotel with recently renovated rooms. Friendly, attentive staff that delivered excellent service and made our stay welcoming. Perfect spot to relax, reset, and rejuvenate.

The property and staff was amazing. Welcoming, clean, VERY FRIENDLY and incredible my family and I had a great stay. I would’ve been more NICER if the restaurant was more thoughtful of the kids, the same Avery day for them. maybe an Italian Or stake house would make this Hotel TO Exceed.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen in den Restaurants ist sehr hochwertig, eine grosse Auswahl, am Abend à la Carte. Ein riesiges Wassersportangebot. Mein Zimmer war exzellent mit umwerfenden Meerblick, und tollem Duft. Ich weiss nicht, wie belegt das Hotel war, es war immer und überall sehr ruhig so dass man sehr gut entspannen konnte. Man bekommt wirklich sehr Viel und vor allem sehr hohe Qualität für sein Geld. Sehr gefreut hatte mich, dass ich an meinem Geburtstag unerwartet ein Törtchen beim Frühstückstisch erhalten habe und auf dem Zimmer eine Flasche Wein mit einer Glückwunschkarte auf mich wartete.

Der zugehörige Privatstrand ist eher klein, aber das ist aufgrund der Lage nunmal so gegeben. Dafür bietet das Resort ein kostenloses Wassertaxi zum Treasure Beach an. Und das lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.

If you are trying to decide between the Marriott properties- this is definitely the best (more to open soon though). The beach is beautiful and there is great snorkeling if you follow the rope on the left side over the reef. We stayed in a split ocean view - incredible view. The adults pool is beautifully landscaped and feels very special (even had monkey activity). The staff is the best part of the stay - they genuinely want your stay to be top notch- shout out to Ether, Astrid, Tamisha and Raquel…book this hotel now - you will not regret it!

Very relaxing holiday in very clean and well-maintained facilities, lovely staff.

The view and access to the beach

Not enough choices for meals.

What I’d expect from a 4 star hotel. Fabulous stay from start to finish. Most of the staff are amazing. Shenesa in the restaurant, Ken on the bar & reception staff. Dosa staff need improvement. Free watersports were amazing. Beach is small but amazing & all you need

Honestly, the resort was wonderful however our check-in process was not. The rooms were fantastic other than it rained one night and water leaked in around the door and windows.

The worst service and hotel.

Very cute and quiet

One of the best resorts! Very intimate. The staff there was Truly amazing!! The beach was perfect! The food was also amazing!! We loved it so much and can’t wait to come back!

Staff was extremely friendly, the food and drinks were fantastic, the beach was quiet and private which was lovely.

The view from the ocean front rooms (only) is stunning - all you see if the Caribbean The staff appear friendly and there are a lot of them, but if you raise any concerns then the attention to customer service and satisfaction is tepid, at best.

The food offering is very limited and pretty poor quality There are very few premium spirits - and most of the mixers are vat tapped The hotel is open to the public on certain days and the restaurant becomes a canteen The sun-beds and beach towels are of very cheap quality and past their best The beach has been seriously eroded by storms (beyond the hotel's control of course) but this means there is a tiny beach now Some of the rooms (spa-side) have been refurbished and are very good quality - many of the rooms on the main site side need an upgrade.

Nice small beach

Excellent customer service!

Every female waitress at the Seaside restaurant at the Waves resort had the nastiest attitude. Came here for my mom 71st birthday and she was treated poorly. They refused to sing happy Birthday. Took forever to bring our food. We had to beg to see a dessert menu etc. Never again

The hotel is very clean and there are plenty of staff on hand to help, especially at reception. We were very well looked after and well fed. Our ocean view room was lovely and quiet and the beds were very comfortable. We loved all the water sports directly on the beach which were included. We never had to wait for any activities and all kit was provided. We enjoyed the complimentary water taxi up to Payne’s Bay where we saw turtles and a tarpon! The sea was clear and warm and the small beach at Waves well kept. Being brought lollies, melon and drinks on the beach was great. Thank you to all the staff for making our holiday so special.

The hospitality at Waves was unmatched! When they say they will meet any need you want, they are not lying! From day 1 to departure day, their entire staff, was very accommodating to our entire party! Eating accommodations, special food requests, birthday celebrations, unexpected medical treatments and transportation requests were honored and top notch! Our bell hop, Daron, made the trip seamless and amazing for all of us! We couldn’t thank him enough! The views were also breathtaking! We will definitely be back and staying only at Waves!

Workers are amazing food was delicious. Need few more option . But would definitely go back again and again. Loved it

Friendly and accomodating staff

Had a very nice relaxing vacation and the staff was very friendly only wished the pool stayed open longer than 6:30p

The staff at waves were kind and friendly throughout. The beach and hotel were great but people always make or break a place. And for Waves, the staff were special. All we can say is thank you.

Always a relaxing visit

It was a nice hotel. Not very crowded. Staff was very nice and friendly. Dining options were very good.

Some Maintenance items - Deck Boards loose and/or unsupported; Closet door nearly falling off hinges.

Very relaxing

Everything. Large comfy rooms. Friendly staff. Great food with daily changing menus. Fresh fruit & ice lolly’s handed round pool/beach an additional surprise!

Chickens pooing on the beach 🤣

Beach is very small (at high tide it barely exists) and very rocky when you get in the water. Family pool is very small.

Great stay and staff. Made my son feel special for his birthday. HIGHLY recommend.

Much older vacationers; everyone kept to themselves. Staff was argumentative. Rooms were small; shower stall only; almost no beach at all; food was mediocre on a good day; bad location in relation to shopping and restaurants; taxi required to go almost anywhere (and rates were through the roof!) Barbados is just extremely expensive and you sure don’t get what you pay for. Waves - don’t walk away from this hotel….RUN!

Super friendly staff, fantastic sea view room, Cherie best chef especially breakfast, delicious cocktails!! Spa treatments sooo relaxing! Loved Barbados!

Last minute booking 1 hour before arrival all went smooth

Superb staff

Small beach

The Staff were amazing. Nothing could be too much trouble. They all took their time to remember our names and always had a smile on their faces

Generally clean, staff mostly friendly. Beach very small. Good gym, sparcely used Food quality fair.

My wife and I were celebrating her 50th birthday. The report was perfect. Beautiful views.
