My wife and I stayed at Waves on the Rock for a couple of nights earlier this month, arriving on a Sunday afternoon when the restaurant was particularly busy. Despite the pressure, Rodo made us welcome, showing us to our room and inviting us for a complementary drink on the terrace downstairs once we were settled. The room, with ensuite shower and toilet, basic kitchenette with electric hob and fridge, and private balcony overlooking the beach westwards towards Granvousa, was clean and adequately furnished - unless you aim to be self-catering when you would notice the lack of a surface for food preparation and the limited range of equipment such as bread-knife and board, toaster and kettle.

Rodo is an excellent cook and the restaurant below offers a wide choice of food. She was attentive and hospitable throughout our stay. On our first evening over dinner she suggested a number of places nearby for us to visit the following day. Some we never found, but the ensuing ‘treasure’ hunt - for a beautiful beach and view, cave, ancient olive tree, waterfall, frescos, rotunda, gorges, pottery and Roman acropolis - made for a very enjoyable day out. Highly recommended!
