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

We had an awesome stay at Waves Hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly, the rooms were spotless, and the pools were beautifully maintained. Their service was top-notch from start to finish. The food exceeded our expectations—especially the new onsite Indian restaurant, which was absolutely delicious. One great perk is that you also have access to the restaurants at nearby Marriott properties, though we didn’t take advantage of that this time since we enjoyed Waves so much. The beach area is on the smaller side, which didn’t bother us, but if you’re looking for a large, sprawling beach, this might not be the best fit. Two small pieces of feedback: the beach towels could use an upgrade (and were occasionally subbed out with regular bath towels), and a bit of music at the pool or beach would really enhance the vibe. Overall, we loved our stay and would absolutely come back!

Went here as a couple for a getaway first time to the island honestly speaking I chose this resort based on availability for me to use my Marriott points. I was a bit hesitant in booking because there were so many reviews that were polar opposite of each other from people staying at the exact same timeframe and just literally opposite reviews, but I was able to book an oceanfront room, which I always like to do and so I decided to go for it and I can tell you I would love to give this place a five star but honestly, it’s not a five star resort it does however, have five star potential I would say a lot of the five star has to come with updating the resort. It definitely is a good shape order resort, great location. The beach is rather small, but that’s not the resort‘s fault and I would never be negative toward the resort and the staff on something south of control I know in speaking with some of the locals, they said the island with hotels on that particular side have been dealing with the erosion of the beach, but the beach that is there is nice. It does sometimes feel a little crowded because the chairs and tables are a little close. The other side of things with the four star versus five star is the beach service is a hit or miss some days it was great some days you literally had to look around to see if there was even anybody still there ever a few times I literally walked up to the hotel bar inside to get drinks and take back down so they need a little work there But the majority of the staff there and I think this is the key for me while I was there one of the sister properties, if I recall correctly, the name was the colony house, which was come to find out a non-all inclusive. They had their people there working along side of the staff employees for waves, and I can tell you with great certainty the employees that work for waves 10 out of 10 I’ve been to a lot of resorts. I’ve been to some that are way more expensive than this and those employees Literally will do whatever you ask as long as it’s in their ability the colony house employees on the other hand, sometimes acted like they could care less, whether they even acknowledged you whether it be out on the beach in hotel bar in the restaurant so a lot of the negative feedback that I would have toward the staff would only be pertaining to the staff that was there during my stay From the colony house staff members, and you can clearly see who they are because they have Colony House on their shirts, which is different from the staff employees for the waves. The resort is uniquely laid out it’s split so all of your ocean front rooms are gonna be on the waterside and then there’s a road that basically goes around the island you gotta cross over that road to go to the other side of the resort the pool over there is definitely nicer more of a resort style pool. There’s a small pool on the Beachfront side, but it’s the family pool, which was never had one person in there a few times that we went in there just to cool off on the beach a slight negative they only have two restaurants there the one that is on the beach side was really good. We ate there Seven out of eight nights that we were there and I have to tell you the food that we had was amazing that menu literally changes on the daily. They do have their normal dishes, but then they have a regular change up daily of I would say most of the entrées and I read reviews that the food was horrible and this and that I consider myself a foodie and I enjoyed everything that I had. I’m not gonna say that everything Was 10 out of 10 but presentation and overall quality and taste of the food I thought was great and as I said, I would consider myself a foodie so take that for what it is the Indian restaurant across the road we went there the one night it was really good, but that menu does not change so we did go there the one night, but we never went back because we felt like we had what we wanted to try the first time we went and there was no need to go back The spa I thought was really good as well! Go check it out!

Went on a girls trip and had an amazing time. The staff was amazing! From Ms. Cheryl in the kitchen, to Kevin, Daron, and Antoine, everyone was helpful and very pleasant. They had live entertainment and events right on the property which was great for days when you don’t want to leave, a well equipped spa and two pools. I would definitely recommend the Waves and will return in the future.

My wife and I visited Barbados for the first time and stayed at Waves after a cruise, a lovely relaxing way to end the holiday. The service was excellent, so friendly and attentive. A complimentary taxi boat was available and we visited sister hotels on the coastline. We stayed on the beach and used the facilities including free food and drinks, a lovely bonus. Facilities are excellent all round. Above all the staff are fantastic. We would definitely recommend.

Just returned home after a week's stay at Waves hotel after a cruise. I had reservations about staying there after reading some very poor reviews after booking my stay. Let me reassure anyone who has doubts about this place it is fantastic and I was pleasantly surprised, I will be returning again. All the staff are great so friendly and willing to make sure you have a great time. I must give a mention to a few people I had the honour to meet, Kim the general manager what a great team she has and she wants to know if things aren't what you expect so please speak to her, I did and she sorted it and gives feedback too. Ryan operations manager, what a great lovely man, also interested in making your stay a good one. Eather works the egg station, what a lovely crazy lady, I'll miss her so much. If you don't know how to make a proper omelette visit Eather because she'll tell you 😀
