Terrible Service and Breakfast
Terrible breakfast. It says 'Continental Breakfast' but the service is poor. Limited options which is delivered at your room (fruit run out on the second day). The housekeeping service is poor and they did not change/renew used towels.

Disappointing stay
We stayed at The Waves recently and unfortunately had a mixed experience. While the hotel is relatively new (3 years old), it already shows signs of needing significant maintenance. Several issues detracted from our stay: missing amenities in the room (chairs, pool towels, bathmat, hand towels); a lack of cleanliness in the bathroom (dirty sink and faucet); and malfunctioning elevators. The pool area also showed signs of neglect, with broken sun loungers and a hanging, broken light fixture over the pool/balcony of our room. The hotel's location is quite far from the city center, making it inconvenient to walk, and the access road is difficult to navigate by car. Furthermore, services were limited during the off-season. Overall, while the hotel has potential, significant improvements are needed in cleanliness, maintenance, and amenities to justify the price.

La estancia fue buena, creo que es importante mencionar que la calle para ingresar con auto la calle no está pavimentada y tiene importantes inundaciones, el estacionamiento no tiene vigilancia y está lleno de excremento de perro, la habitación está muy bien y cuenta con buen internet

The area not great, unpaved road, subject to flooding. Across from residents living in metal houses. So not a nice view. We reserved a deluxe studio. The bed was basically on the floor, the frame was so low. And the mattress was terrible. Sunken in the middle and hard, got home with a stiff neck and sore back. The toilet wouldn’t work at times. Hot water lasted about 5 mintues. Basically, the AC was the only good thing. Staff is friendly. Housekeeper expected a tip everyday. Restaurant in the hotel, which was convenient but will not be staying here again. Don’t be fooled by the pictures.

Property is very old. The pools are very old have rest on them very dirty. The pictures online are older pictures. The property does not look like that. Also, the property is sitting in the middle of nowhere is in a unsafe area.

I cannot tell you guys about how much I recommend this place and how I have no words to describe The wonderful time I had at this hotel I loved every single moment of 5 days i stayed at this hotel. The staff from front desk to bars to resturant, housekeeping were is so nice and so willing to help, even though we had language barrier. The front desk person specially were so helpful, they are so quick to answer all your questions and so quick to help with whatever you it.
