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!
