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.

“Amazing service”

Jul 07, 2026Pedro L

The waves at Barbados was an unforgettable experience for me and my family and I loved every second of it. We were immediately greeted with warmth and kindness as the service continued throughout the entire resort. Specifically, I would like to highlight Ether (the breakfast chef) and her amazing cooking/ kindness towards all the guests. This made my breakfast the highlight of my day as I was greeted with her presence, it catapulted my mood into a forward state. I will be coming back!!!!

“Wonderful Waves!”

May 20, 2026creased

Waves has exceeded our expectations! This is a classy little hotel, with a fabulous staff team. Always attentive but never obtrusive, every member of staff has gone out of their way to provide the best possible experience for guests. Special mentions for Ether, omelette and poached egg extraordinaire! Also for Ache and Gabrielle, always cheery and polite. There are too many great staff to mention - honestly the best hotel guest experience we’ve ever had. Our pristine clean junior suite had the most breathtaking, uninterrupted 180 ocean view and was totally private, not overlooked at all. The terrace was huge, with comfortable seating. The bed was comfortable enough and always immaculately made up. We found the food to be good, if a little repetitive. There was plenty of choice and the AI was very generous also including a very nice coffee shop ‘grab and go’ for taking out snacks or lunch. One of the best features of Waves is the frequent water taxi which takes you up the coast to the sister hotels where you can have lunch and use their beaches and facilities. It’s also a nice walk along the beautiful beach to Crystal Cove if you can manage the heat! The beach, although on the small side, is lovely with plenty of sunbeds in May. It’s certainly the best of the sister hotels’ beaches, with the exception of Crystal Cove - but we much preferred Waves to this. We had the most fantastic stay at Waves and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We will definitely look forward to coming back

“Good”

May 19, 2026SnKTexas

I went with my Mom who is 90. The staff is the best part of this hotel! They are very accommodating! Unfortunately the hotel is in need of a renovation. Rooms are showing wear. However very clean. We booked an ocean front room. Great view! But noisy! Road noise is constant. Food was pretty good.
