Awele I.★★★★★ — I recently started learning how to swim with Coach George and I’ve had four sessions so far. Honestly, the progress has been amazing. I’m already comfortable with the basics, and I’m slowly getting over my fear of water, which is a big win for me. He teaches with so much intention and keeps everything very practical, so it’s easy to understand and apply. He’s patient, encouraging, and clearly knows what he’s doing. A really good coach, and I’m glad I chose to learn with him.
Ifeoluwa T.★★★★★ — I registered for private classes with two of my friends and even though we all have different courage levels, he managed to teach us all. He will prioritize your safety but also challenge you. He’s a really great teacher, not everyone can pass on knowledge accurately. I have recommended and I will continue to recommend him.
Michael A.★★★★★ — Nice view, the sitting area is beautiful and not crowded. Also not loud which was a good plus.
Joseph E.★★★★★ — The food and scenery is really nice. If you're going there be prapred to wait for your meal to be prepared as its not a fast food restaurant.
Amarachi N.★★★★★ — The management of Wave Beach is doing a terrible job.
I was there with my friends this month. Prior to getting there, I booked a cabana and was informed of the corkage fees for bringing in external food and drinks.
At the gate, the staff charged me effectively four times the amount they had indicated on the flyer for corkage fees, for no good reason. Not to mention, the staff member I was interfacing with was rude. When we showed her Wave Beach's flyer showing the applicable corkage fees and insisted on paying according to the indicated fees, she simply walked away and said we should call her when we are "ready" to pay. It took almost an hour and the intervention of their Manager to resolve the situation.
Also, the atmosphere was uncomfortable. There was near-defeaning music for all the five hours I spent there.
Did I forget to mention - after we eventually gained access to the beach and asked to be shown the pre-booked cabana, they seemed unsure where to put us. We were told we will get a cabana "if" there's any cabana available. Thankfully, we did get a cabana. But the loud noise (that they insist is music) drove us away from the cabana about an hour later.
In the end, it was a 1/10 experience. I will not recommend, and I will definitely not be visiting again.
Adekoyejo P.★★★★★ — Highly unreliable service. Contrary to what is written on their instagram page, they might not allow you to take outside drinks and food inside the venue. They may also increase their gate fee without notice. Prepare for the unexpected when you got over there. They literally ruined my night, eventually I had to go to the club.
To the owner, who says this is not true. This happened on the night of 22nd November 2025. Perhaps you need to monitor your business better so you can know what’s going on. Have a good day.
Thomas O.★★★★★ — Didn't get to eat because they don't open on Sundays; I settled for swimming and it wasn't bad.
Visibility in pool is very poor; I thought it was dirty, but you know they'd never agree it is.
The environment looks great otherwise.
Least I forgot; no separate changing rooms for male and female. You go one after the other👊🏿
Aktor L.★★★★★ — Well maintained swimming area. There's also a life guard on ground. Great place to have fun and swim.
