Our stay at Waves was pretty enjoyable overall! The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach and local restaurants. The rooms were clean, though some updates would be nice. The pool area was a highlight, but we encountered issues with the cleanliness of the pool. While we had a great experience with most of the staff, there was one incident that could have been better. Overall, a solid experience with a few minor hiccups.

The pool was nice, but we noticed that it wasn't cleaned often enough as seaweed floated around. The hot tub was enjoyable, but could comfortably fit more people.

I had a lovely stay at Waves, enjoying the fantastic beach location right outside my room, and the heated pool was a perfect spot for my kids to play. The staff was attentive and quick to respond to any of our requests. However, while the room was clean and spacious, it did feel a bit outdated in terms of decor. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but some updates would really enhance the experience.
