What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 457 guest reviews
The Waves earns consistently strong praise for its prime beachside location, comfortable beds, and well-equipped rooms, with most guests expressing a desire to return. However, recurring maintenance niggles — including skylight glare, absent or faulty AC, bathroom issues, and inconsistent housekeeping — suggest upkeep doesn't always match the property's premium pricing. Overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, tempered by a handful of practical frustrations that appear fixable.
