Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Awesome resort! Zero complaints!

Traveled last week, 1st adult sibling vacation with my 3 brothers and two sister in laws. Resort was spotless, staff were friendly and accommodating, lots of rum & sun!! The Food.... amazing ! Especially at the beach bar! Staff at the beach bar are new and a little inexperienced , all other bartenders, servers, amazing!!

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Amazing resort

There is nothing bad to say about this place. It was all great. Food could be little better. Same every day. Ala carte s good. Rooms were very clean. Washrooms were very very clean. We were impressed. Very nice resort

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Fantastic resort!

First time to Cuba and it was fabulous! Clean rooms, excellent amenities, great food, friendly staff! Could not ask for more! Big resort but small feel. Lots of things to do. Beach is gorgeous! Played tennis, sailed, pool activities! Beach bar was so close and also the lunch/snack bar to the beach. Helpful staff. A la cartes were so yummy!

Iberostar Selection Holguin: Beautiful beach and great service

The beaches were the highlight of this trip and its so nice to have two to chose from. Service was generally very good everywhere, and it was never difficult to get a drink or two. The food was really quite good with a good selection - not every dish is great, but there are always lots of options to pick from. Will definitely go back.

Hotel Mojito: Iberostar Mojito Cayo Coco

11 of us stayed at the Iberostar Mojito from March 31 - April 7, 2019 Our stay was pleasant. Still in my head the breathtaking white sand beach view and friendly, Happy Cuban staff at the resort. Most of all the best testy drink Mojito :) Hurricane destroyed a lot but Cuban people built up so fast and beautifully. This resort is good for who has a younger children and accompanied elderly person because everything's close by in very short walking distance. I had a wonderful vacation and d [... read more]efinitely going back there soon ;) Inga Toronto, On

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Awesome Resort

Had a really great time here. Everything was amazing; the food, the cleanliness, the hospitality, the beach, the rooms. We can't say enough positive things about this resort. The activities were fun, the staff was always pleasant, other than one bartender at the pool that always seemed annoyed at me for ordering frozen drinks. Other than that I Highly recommend this resort.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Best resort we've been too!

This hotel is immaculate. Everything is so clean, the staff is always helpful, the grounds are beautiful, the beach is amazing. We have only positive things to say about this resort. The food is out of this world. The buffet is as good as the a la cartes. Our butler went above and beyond to make our stay one we will always remember.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Excellent Resort

We have stayed in 35 resorts in the Caribbean and consider this resort one the best we have enjoyed. The resort is small,the buildings are picturesque, the grounds well cared for and the staff are the best we have encountered on our vacations. The resort is older but in better condition then most of the resorts of similar age. The food is good;however, we have been to other resorts which put a little more effort into extras such as carving roasts or fowl in the buffet. We have stayed in this re [... read more]sort twice and intend to return.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Fantastic holiday

Just got back Sunday afternoon and missing this wonderful resort already!The beach was everything we hoped for white sand and beautiful clear water. The rooms were lovely and spacious the air conditioning was nice and cool and ceiling fan was quiet made for a great sleep! My grown children traveled with us and they loved the pools and fun activities and of course the swim up bar!!Definitely will come back again location great for a trip into Havana and a night out clubbing in Varadero!The staff [... read more] are friendly and the food was delicious! We went with a large group of 18 and I promise everyone was impressed!!

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Best All Inclusive

This property is by far the nicest we have ever stayed at, and we travel often. The grounds and beach are immaculate, service unparalleled. Food and drink outstanding. Just wish I was still there!

Hotel Mojito: Wonderful Staff and Great Beach

I have been to many, many resorts in the Caribbean and to Cuba 5 times. The food was not as repetitive at this Cuban resort and every night a different featured meat or poultry, fish at the Buffet. For example they had a turkey, roast beef, salmon and pork loin on the 4 nights we attended. In addition made to order pasta and grilled meats. The food at this resort was not as bland as most in Cuba. One complaint I had was the breakfast pastries and bread were not always fresh and not a big va [... read more]riety. I would also liked to have seen more outdoor BBQs, only one the whole week. The bartender, cook and guy who cleaned at the Beach Snack Bar were fabulous. They went above and beyond to provide excellent service. The rooms are large and very clean. They are currently upgrading the rooms and for the price we paid for the vacation were a very good deal. The alcoholic drinks were okay but often were out of certain liqueurs and it was challenging getting sparkling water although certain bartenders always had it when we showed up at the swim up bar. They were fantastic bartenders and put up with a lot from some of the tourists. We tipped the staff at the resort well because they deserve it. I was really annoyed at people who never tipped. Really? If you can afford to go on vacation you can afford to tip. Quit being so cheap people the Cubans go above and beyond to please you! Iberostar needs to upgrade the swim up bar it is just too small. On the other hand the beach is outstanding and we went down daily. Always lots of chairs. All in all I would highly recommend this resort for value for the dollars we paid. We are seriously considering going back next year.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Honestly-We have been to a lot of resorts in cuba and we have been to better with lower stars.

Grounds-emaculate. Food-poor variety,poor quality,not hot,same items spread out-same desserts every night of the week.lots of staff but not the Iberostar quality we expected.Dining room staff fantastic but just not the food quality. Beach-lacked care-should have been raked or something probably the worst I have seen varadero beach.But talked to several other persons and the beach closer to town was better. room-mattress springs coming through(room 1611)mattress.room very outdated including  [... read more]bedspreads,furniture etc Entertainment-went from ok to very good.We thought the lobby area had better entertainment then the actual shows at night. not over crowded,always find chairs.Lower denominations of cuba peso's hard to get for tip money. Sunwing rep.very good,good English and Honest.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Friendly and fantastic!!

From the moment we arrived to this paradise, every single encounter was beyond friendly. Genuine greetings and encounters with staff made our trip. Stunning lobby and amazing restaurants. Infinity pool was relaxing at times and entertaining. Entertainment staff were all involved with guests and made sure everyone was having a good time.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Great time at Azul

6 of us stayed here first week of April. Shuttle to the resort was on time and took around 40mins. The resort check in was very fast with no issues. Our first room had no safe , we were assigned a new one right away. We were in the ground floor room 12116 sliding doors opened out to one of the several pools next to a bar/restaurant serving drinks and a small menu from 10am to 430pm daily. Very good service. Pool was awesome...clean ...tables and chairs around the pool were always available. We d [... read more]id 3 restaurants Cuba/Italian/Japanese. Japanese being the best. Breakfast /lunch and dinner were very good always a very large selection of food. Several bars around d the resort drinks were not an issue. Internet is sold by the hour with 1cuc per card with username and password.. day trips are available at extra cost... We just hired a car and went I to town to the markets...cost us 20 peso for 4 of us. Cheap!...I would forsure go back here...it's Cuba not the Hilton Toronto!

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Nice resort but over rated in our opinion.

We enjoyed our stay but... no doors on the closets, tub drain was plugged, no tub drain so no bath, no shower stall so we had to "climb" into the tub that was 2 1/2 feet high. The shower head was not hooked to the wall so we had to hold the wand. The door wouldn't close without overriding the lock. There was a 1 inch step up into our room that we kept tripping over. There was a 1 1/2 inch step up coming into the lobby that people were tripping over. In our one week stay we enjoyed the frien [... read more]dly staff and variety of food . The resort is large so there were lots of people around causing congestion in the main buffet area. We had trouble finding shade anywhere unless we were willing to get up before daylight to put towels on a lounger. The pool area attendants made sure we had mats to put on the lounger. That was "comfort" :) The beach was very nice with lots of huts and loungers. The beach was very clean. We didn't stay up to see any of the entertainment but we heard it was a nice. Internet was fast without any problems.

Iberostar Waves Tucan: Fabulous resort - Iberostar never fails

You always know what you will get with an Iberostar. Great service, smiles and courteous always. Never waited for a drink anywhere within this resort. Great food although a little repetitive. Shade all around the huge pool. Separate adult only swim up bar. Ice cream bar, Paella at the beach every lunch. Freshly made burritos at the beach every lunch. Fabulous beach - some seaweed but constantly being cleared by hard working staff. Monkeys, Peacocks, Flamingoes, Tucans, Parrots and more a [... read more]nimals I can’t pronounce the names of throughout the jungle!- lots to see and beautifully well lit in the evenings. Al a carte restaurants easily reserved. Italian and Japanese fabulous. Rooms smaller than average but plenty big enough and clean. Fully stocked mini fridge daily. Would definitely return to the Tucan/Quetzel. (They are the same resort)

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Ok resort typical Cuban resort

We booked this hotel three months in advance . We requested a king size bed that we didn’t get . The room was big enough and short walk to the beach . Very standard room with a view of a road nothing special . This is my 6th visit to Cuba and I’ve stayed at six different resorts . I won’t complain about the food because we never went hungry but it is what it is . Would I visit this resort again ? No , but that goes for all the others as well . What I’ve noticed over the past twenty years [... read more] of visiting this beautiful island is , hoe much the people have changed . By that I mean the staff . The younger generation don’t pay the same attention to the guests as the older ones do . I always had to ask for more water or more wine or more of what ever I was drinking . Most don’t even make eye contact in order to avoid being asked for anything . I want expecting five star service but I was expecting a smile and some gratitude after all the whole island is dependent on the tourism dollar . Anyway we live Cuba for the most part the people are amazing considering their situation . I will visit Cuba again and again but I will try a different resort each time . Footnote , there is a great lack of beach chairs , there were many people wondering the beach up and down looking for chairs so I suggest bringing a beach blanket just in case .

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Incredible Vacation with Amazing Service

From booking the vacation with Martine in St. Catherines, to when we arrived, 100% satisfaction. We arrived at the Iberostar Laguna Azul and were met by the friendliest hotel front desk attendants I have ever met. As we were checking in, a very nice lady brought us a citrus juice drink right there at the front desk, and it was amazing. This was the first impression and let me tell you, you felt like royalty! Next up was the bellman who took our baggage to our room, all along the way  [... read more]he was providing us detailed information on the hotel, the activities and the night life at the hotel. He explained how to also get around off the resort on the double deck bus service.....all day for $5.00! We got to our room to find a king size bed fit for a queen and the most spacious room I have stayed in. Our room was very clean, plenty of pillows and clean crisp sheets and towels. The shower was huge and LOTS of hot water! The pools at this resort were awe inspiring, clean, cool and plenty of room for everyone! You had a choice of 7 different pools from very active with lots of people, to quiet and private type pools if you want privacy. The beach....oh the beach...was so clean and water sooooo clear! The food was incredibly tasty and plentiful! The head chef of all the food services can be seen walking around ALL of the restaurants on the resort at EVERY meal! The Japanese Restaurant was my favourite, the chef we had was comical, but he made the food with incredible precision and with such a fun way to include his guests with cooking and the atmosphere! Now to the best part, the STAFF. The staff, whether it was the bar staff, waitresses or the room cleaners...were AMAZING! They really know how to treat you as a special guest and not just a tourist. Our waiter Jonkey in the buffet diner (not sure if it was spelt right) was truly passionate at his job and he made everyone feel welcomed by the way he treated our wives at dinner and gave the guys a rose made from paper to give to our wives.....we invited him back to Canada! He was so amazing. Israel our WestJet guide at the resort was very helpful and accommodating while booking excursions! He is a true testament to hospitality! This first trip to Cuba will be one of many we will take. We all said (6 of us) we would definitely be going back to Cuba and we also said this resort will be top of the list to return to! GREAT JOB IBEROSTAR LAGUNA AZUL! Thank you so much Martine for suggesting this resort as it truly exceeded our expectations! Matt & Karine Tremblay

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Iberostar Resort - Great Half Moon configeration

This resort had a great layout of Buildings with Lazy River and Swim up Bar in the centre. Everything was close to Sandy Beach. Great view from Balcony to see the Ocean. Easy access to all restaurants. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: not a good choice

will never go back. Room not clean, we stay 2 weeks, the beading was never change. Several people sick including myself. We go to Cuba every year and I was never sick. No activities and under staffed
