Barbados, Caribbean

4 stars

Taking All-inclusive to another level, the Waves Hotel & Spa doesn’t just include essentials such as dining and WiFi, it lays on additional luxuries including water sports, spa treatments, and yoga. From cocktail mixology to rum tasting, you’ll never be short of entertainment - you can even ‘add on’ bucket list experiences like swimming with sea turtles, the kids will love it! Its restaurants will take you from the Mediterranean to Asia but you can also dine at their select west coast sister hotels too, travelling there by complimentary water taxi. It’s not all about getting off the sun bed though - nobody will mind if you laze away days at the spa, by the two pools, or on its Platinum West Coast beach, and the complimentary Beach and Pool Ambassador Service guarantees true unadulterated relaxation.

““Disappointing experience – Important details not disclosed””

Feb 11, 2026barbiruzka

Disappointing experience – Important details not disclosed” The experience was disappointing. The beach is extremely small, much different from what the photos suggest. Access to the beach is only via stairs, with no ramp or accessible alternative. This is not suitable for elderly guests or those with mobility limitations, and it is not clearly disclosed. Additionally, the hotel does not specify that the property is divided into two blocks. If you are assigned to the rear block, you must cross a street to reach the beach and main facilities. For the price paid, I expected much greater transparency. I would not recommend this hotel to senior travelers or guests who value easy beach access.

“Another great stay”
