Wi-Fi
The reviews for 'ExcluSuites Malacca @ The Wave Residence' reveal a recurring issue with the Wi-Fi service. While a few guests have mentioned good Wi-Fi speed and accessibility, the majority have reported numerous problems. It appears that many units either lack Wi-Fi entirely or have significant connectivity issues, making it difficult to connect to the internet. Additionally, some guests noted that the Wi-Fi was often either slow or non-functional, impacting their ability to watch TV and enjoy other online amenities during their stay. Improvements in Wi-Fi reliability and speed seem necessary to enhance guest satisfaction.

Pool
The swimming pool at ExcluSuites Malacca @ The Wave Residence receives frequent praise for being clean, big and enjoyable, making it a popular amenity among guests, especially families. Children seem to love the pool and it's considered safe for them to use. Many guests emphasize the comfort and enjoyment provided by the pool's facilities. However, some find the pool management lacking, as stringent rules and a strict booking system limit the time guests can spend in the pool. These restrictions, including the need to book a day in advance and time limits of two hours per slot, can be inconvenient. Furthermore, adherence to swimwear rules is strictly enforced, which some guests find challenging, especially when accompanying young children. Despite these issues, the overall consensus is that the pool is a highlight of the stay, offering a refreshing and relaxing experience within a clean and well-maintained environment.

Parking
Parking at ExcluSuites Malacca @ The Wave Residence appears to be a significant issue for many guests. The hotel does not provide private parking and finding a free spot can be challenging, particularly during weekends and peak times. Valet parking is an option for RM10 per day, but even this can be inconvenient due to limited availability. The general parking area outside the hotel is free and operates on a first-come, first-served basis, but it fills up quickly, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

While some guests found the parking area appropriate and easy to access, many others noted it as crowded and difficult to secure, especially late at night. The parking is also not covered and lacks proper security measures, making it less than ideal for those with concerns about safety. Additionally, the reception and parking are in different buildings, adding another layer of inconvenience for guests, particularly those with a lot of luggage or mobility issues.

Overall, while there are some positives about the parking situation, such as the availability of free parking, the general consensus is that parking at this residence could be much improved to enhance the overall guest experience.
