We were very happy with our clean accommodation. The reception staff at Blue Wave made a positive impact and went the extra mile which made our stay even better. They assisted with our day trips which took the stress out of planning. Also the friendly bar attendant really set the tone for a relaxing vibe around the pool. Thank you Blue waves for a beautiful, relaxing and beautiful stay!

Lovely studio apartment with comfy beds and extra sofa bed for the kids. Sea views from the rooftop and an amazing rooftop pool which we loved to have midnight swims in.
Close to beach and an amazing bakery.
Hotel organised seamless transfer from airport and to ferry.
Beautiful property just steps from the beach! The staff was so helpful and friendly. Added bonus was the shuttle offered by the hotel which was typically cheaper than Uber as the public bus isn’t great

This has to have been hands-down, the most incredible hotel that I have ever stayed in. I got the suite with the private pool and the most amazing view that a girl could ask for. I will recommend this to any and every person that will listen. The check in experience was phenomenal. The people were extremely helpful and very considerate and accommodating to our early check-in, we were only there for 24 hours but this hotel made our trip remarkable and a trip to remember.
Hotel was decent and very clean. Easy access to beach and strip

Wonderful!
Staying at Blue Waves Hotel made our holiday! Everything about it was so good. Thanks to all the staff including Areti and Elana at reception, who were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. They gave us great recommendations and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean room, very relaxing pool area, where Mahood gave us great breakfasts. Location is great, close to the beach, bus stop, bakery and lovely restaurants. Highly recommend this gorgeous hotel. Thanks again, Nuala & Anne
