Atmosphere makes it!!

Hotel location perfect, really cute boutique hotel, restaurant and lounge great. Food was excellent, room atmosphere great. Bathroom hard to use to get ready in and extra mirror had no plugs near, if the had switched where pics on wall with the mirror much easier. Check in smooth though a hiccup with door code. Overall it was a great stay.

The hotel and surrounding property are just beautiful. Very clean and tidy. View is spectacular. All members of staff were very pleasant and friendly. What I did not like were the following: 1. There is no traditional “front desk” staff AND there are no telephones in the room. I find it dangerous not to have a way to call a front desk in an emergency!!! I don’t mind doing all the registration work myself on line before hand, but there should at least be a reliable way to get a front desk person. 2. The rooms while beautiful and minimalist, they were not at all functional. There is absolutely NOWHERE to put a thing in the bathrooms. Nowhere to fix your hair because there’s no place to plug a curling iron. There is an isolated mirror beside the door but it is hung too high and again, not a shelf or a table to set your make up on to apply it. 3. No full length mirror in the room. We were there for a dressy affair, but no place to check your appearance. 4. For the top dollar prices, there were ZERO amenities included and no reliably available person to help you. No coffee maker in the room and no decent coffee in the lobby for guests. The coffee in 2 carafes was very strong. ( one was empty) The poor bartender was working like crazy trying to attend to everything. He very kindly found someone to check us out at the faux front desk. Any small bakery items for breakfast? No way. They have brunch you can stay for that begins at 11am which of course is expensive.

Although short, I enjoyed my stay at The Wave. It was a very pretty, modern property and had a great restaurant on site. Most of the front desk staff were incredibly nice and helpful. The restaurant staff were also very friendly and accommodating. The view was nice. I wish I could have enjoyed the pool. The hotel is a few miles away from the “downtown” part with stores and restaurants which I would have loved to go see if I was in town longer. But overall a very nice stay and I’d stay there again if I was in the area.

The room and staff were amazing, the only peeves i had were lack of water pressure in the shower , and no other offers as far as breakfast and the fees that were hidden were a turn away and the food and even the coffee machine were highly expensive , no breakfast and other offers at all...but it was okay

The rooms were clean and modern. The pillows were comfortable, and the shower was nice. Our room did not have an iron or a coffee maker. Front desk did not explain the amenities such as snacks or coffee when we checked in. They seemed very poorly staffed. Even when we asked for a clothes iron, it was never brought up. Private beach access was advertised, but they did not have an on-site private beach. The extent of scenery was the lake across the street. Our room looked out into the parking lot. The closest public beach was an 8-minute drive away. That would have been okay if we weren't expecting an on-site beach, as advertised. Also, the hotel restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which was not what we expected.
