For those looking to grab breakfast somewhere else, the hotel's location was perfect with various options nearby. However, some guests did mention the need for a working bar and breakfast option on the property. Though the resort charges for extras like bottled water, guests pointed out the lack of free fountains for refilling water bottles that most hotels have. Overall, guests enjoyed the dining experience offered by the resort.

Overall, guests appreciate the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, which makes for a great experience at the hotel.
Spa
Wave Resort's spa service is a highlight for many guests. The treatments are reportedly amazing and the therapists are skilled and friendly. Guests found the environment relaxing and enjoyed their massages. However, some guests did mention that the amenities were lacking, specifically the absence of a sauna, steam room and jacuzzi which was surprising for a spa resort. The cost was also reported to be high for the level of amenities provided. Despite these downsides, most guests appreciated the service they received at the spa and recommend others to give it a try.
Pool
Wave Resort offers an unbeatable location, right on the beach with fantastic views. The lovely pool area boasts comfortable loungers and beds with a direct access to the pool bar where guests can get excellent service and food. The outdoor pool is also heated, making it perfect for all year round stays. The pretty pool with waitress service is a great place to relax, though some guests noted that it could use a little more cleaning throughout the day. However, one thing that guests love about the pool is the complimentary chairs they receive for being a guest at the resort. The pet-friendly rooms and facilities are a great bonus and drinks by the pool are phenomenal. While some guests found the pool area a bit rundown and small for a "resort" billing, others loved the pool overlooking the beach and the awesome service provided. However, it's worth noting that there are NO swimming hours after 8 pm, which some guests found to be a letdown, especially since the pool is listed as one of the major amenities included with the room stay. Additionally, some guests had trouble getting clean towels from the pool or beach, as they were often late to arrive or not available at all. Noise from rooftop events was also a concern for some and there were a few reports of a lifeguard sleeping on the job. Despite these minor issues, guests agree that Wave Resort has a prime location and beautiful pool area.
