My stay at Wave Rider Resort was mixed. On the positive side, the location is fantastic, just across the road from the beach. However, I encountered some significant issues with the room I was assigned. The accommodations felt cramped and neglected, which left me dissatisfied with my experience overall.

Rooms

5.0

I was assigned room 203, which was incredibly small and felt more like a storage closet than a proper hotel room. The bed fit snugly into a nook, making it quite uncomfortable, and the door didn't even have a number on it.

Service

5.0

The staff seemed friendly at check-in, but I felt overlooked when I voiced my concerns about my room. Unfortunately, they didn't offer adequate assistance to resolve my discomfort.

Location

7.0

The resort's location is one of its best features—it’s right across the street from the beach, which was perfect for my needs.

Dining

5.0

There were mentions of freshly baked European bread, but I didn't experience any dining options myself during my short stay.

Facilities

5.0

The laundry room was conveniently located next to my room, which was a plus, but I didn't utilize any additional facilities during my visit.

My stay at the resort was disappointing. Although it is close to the beach, the overall condition of the hotel did not meet expectations and there were numerous cleanliness issues. The appliances were outdated and poorly maintained, which overshadowed the potential for a nice vacation.

The resort is very close to the beach, which I appreciated. However, the area lacks shops and restaurants, and I frequently heard police sirens.

6.8/10

My stay at the Wave Rider Resort was quite mixed. On one hand, the friendly front desk staff and the convenient beach location were definite highlights. On the other hand, I was given a room that felt more like a storage closet, which was not what I expected and literally had no number on the door. The overall condition of the facilities seemed to need attention, particularly regarding cleanliness and maintenance.

Rooms

5.0

I was placed in a tiny, renovated storage room that lacked basic comforts. The keys were a hassle to use, and I felt uncomfortable in the space with no clear identification.

Service

5.0

The staff was friendly initially, but when I raised concerns about my room, I received excuses and attitude instead of support.

The resort is right across the street from the beach, which I really appreciated for easy access to the sand and surf.

The facilities felt old and needed work, like the cleaning standards and the air conditioning which didn't seem reliable.

7.2/10

My stay at Wave Rider Resort was far from ideal. The location was convenient, right across from the beach, but the state of the room left a lot to be desired. I experienced some significant cleanliness issues and a few disappointing facilities.

Rooms

5.0

The room was unsatisfactory. It smelled of mold and had dirt along the headboard. The mattress sagged, and the floors were filthy. I noticed mold in the bathroom and caked dirt on the sliding door tracks. Overall, it felt neglected and poorly maintained.

Service

5.0

The staff seemed overwhelmed. I mentioned my issues to the night person, but the response was less than helpful. I felt that the staff could manage guest concerns with a bit more attentiveness.

Location

7.0

I appreciated the resort's proximity to the beach. Being just across the street was definitely a plus for our family. We enjoyed that aspect on warmer days.

Dining

5.0

Unfortunately, dining options were limited and not as appealing as I had hoped. There wasn't a coffee pot in the room, and I really missed having that morning perk.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities, especially the pool area, were not well-maintained. The lazy river didn't even seem to work, and the pool had a dirty appearance with floating debris. It was disappointing, especially for the kids.
