Recently refurbished and upgraded to a very
high standard, the former Escape Hotel and Spa Barbados is now known as
Waves
Hotel.
Located at Prospect Bay in the charming St. James parish
of Barbados, situated on the west coast of the island, this 4 star
all inclusive Barbados hotel provides a luxurious venue for a tropical
beachfront vacation in
Barbados.
To the south of the hotel is the
capital of Bridgetown, with its multitude of shops and attractions. A
local “route taxi” or cab will get you there in about 10 minutes. You will also find
the village of Holetown to the north where you can shop and party.
Because Barbados is not a very large island, transfers
from the island's only airport, The Sir Grantley Adams International
Airport, to this Barbados hotel can be completed in about 30 minutes
(approx. 7 miles/11.5 km) from the hotel.
