My stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. The room I checked into had a strong smell and was clearly not clean. I had a few encounters with the staff, and while one gentleman was helpful, the rest were dismissive and rude. The area felt unsafe with police presence and unsettling activities happening outside. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, regardless of the low prices.

My stay at Wave Rider Resort was nothing short of disappointing. I was greeted with cleanliness issues and an overall uncomfortable environment. The noise from staff and the lack of basic amenities detracted from what should have been a relaxing family vacation. Despite the staff being polite, the poor condition of the facilities and the cleanliness left much to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room I stayed in was incredibly clean and cozy, and I loved the view from my balcony overlooking the pool. However, the outside of the building was not very pleasant, and the facilities like the pool seemed to be in need of better maintenance. Overall, I was happy with the value I got, especially considering the proximity to the beach.

My stay had some highlights but also significant drawbacks. The room I stayed in was incredibly clean and cozy, thanks to the owner who clearly takes pride in her work. However, the overall condition of the hotel left much to be desired, especially in terms of the common areas and service. Also, the lack of kitchenware was frustrating, alongside issues with maintenance. It's a mixed bag that may appeal to some but not everyone.
