(Breakfast, Lunch and dinner) The unlimited bar was nice as well. Would book with them or any sister or brother hotel resort."
Waves Resort & Spa, Barbados, An Autograph Collection® All-Inclusive Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Overall this place was a great place to vacation!!! By the time we left we were in love with the place however it took couple days to find the love. We have seen lots of all inclusives. There is nothing wrong with Waves… it is just small. Less restaurant choices; no food available at the beach; no bar at the beach. No big shoes at nighttime. No organized activities during the day. It is a small quiet relaxed resort. People do come and serve you drinks at the beach. It is just different. Once you get passed the fact that is quaint, small and different then you are GOLDEN!! Most people were super helpful and super fun! We all loved it"
"The room was clean and comfortable with a great view. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They have their own parking lot. Security monitors the resort and parking creating a safe environment. There are resort kitties which was a nice surprise. They had live music every night and a great view from the swim up bar at the pool. I would highly recommend Bougainvillea."
"The room was clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was nice, bed was very comfy, though the room was a little bit older. I had a king bed and a twin bed as well as microwave, sink, oven, fridge, toaster, etc... everything in working order. The water pressure in the shower was a bit low but we were on the top floor and it was sufficient.
If you hope to take the bus around the island, the closest stop is about a 7-minute walk from the hotel. (Each time you jump on the bus it is $3.50 BB) It's a 15-minute ride to Carlisle Bay, unless traffic is congested in the mornings. The taxi from the airport to the hotel was about $30 us.
The pool was clean and a nice quiet place to lay down in a sun chair. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the ocean, But we did our beach time over at Carlisle Bay.
Some people may feel a little uncomfortable walking through some of the neighborhoods that are nearby, but I tend to be a wanderer and probably walked through more of the areas than a typical tourist. When you're a tourist, it's always good to walk around with a friend anyway. Everyone was friendly.
Overall, this is not a four-star hotel. It really is a three-star hotel but the overall experience with the staff and the room amenities for the price gave this a four for me. And it worked great for me as a hub to jump on tours of the island etc. if I just wanted to hang out at the beach I would probably get a place closer to Carlisle Bay."
