Our stay at the boutique hotel was nothing short of delightful, with stunning ocean views and a comfortable room that felt like a home away from home. The personal touches really made us feel special, and the gardens added a lovely charm. However, we did encounter some Wi-Fi issues and felt the pool area could use some expansion to accommodate more guests. Overall, the positives outweighed the minor inconveniences, and we would absolutely come back.

Misty Waves Boutique Hotel truly exceeded my expectations! From the moment I inquired about a booking, the staff, particularly Siya, were incredibly accommodating and attentive. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spacious, complemented by stunning sea views. The dining experience was delightful, with a scrumptious breakfast each morning. I especially loved the private movie theater and the serene atmosphere throughout the property. The only downside was the occasional power outage, but the staff's proactive approach made it manageable. Overall, it felt like a personal retreat, and I can't wait to return!

The Misty Waves Hotel offers an enchanting retreat with spacious and immaculate rooms that made my six-night stay truly memorable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, which I greatly appreciated. The breakfast was consistently high-quality, featuring a wide variety of options. However, I encountered issues with Wi-Fi access, and some signs around the hotel felt a bit too passive-aggressive regarding usage of linens. Overall, this hotel is a great choice for anyone looking for cleanliness and comfort, despite minor shortcomings.

Our stay at the hotel had both memorable and frustrating moments. The views were spectacular and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. However, issues with the smoke alarm and unresponsive service from the restaurant during dinner left us disappointed.
