Fantastic view of the mountains from our room. Perfect location. You can tell the owners/managers take pride in their property by all the little things they got right. There's a long patio, a good bathroom with sufficient space for storage and plenty of hot water. Beds were very comfortable and had two spacious end tables with 4 plugs by each table. Most motels have tiny trash cans that need to be emptied daily or more often, but here they had a big one, as all should. Friendly, helpful staff.

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.
