The location was fabulous-right on the beach with fabulous views all around. Reception staff were courteous and helpful. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean and the bathroom was especially nice.

Waves is in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from town. Our two bedroom apartment was at the front of the building and enjoyed fabulous views out to sea. It had two outside balcony areas ideal for capturing different views for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen was very well appointed and contained all that you need to prepare meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were both of a good size and spotlessly clean. Little or no road noise because of double glazing and a pretty quiet location.
