Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Amazing Resort

The resort was beautiful. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. Everyone was super friendly. The Chefs were very accommodating with my food restrictions. It was a great venue for my sister’s wedding. Fun was had by everyone of all ages.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Nice Resort

The hotel is nice. A few hiccups. Not all the elevators work. Requires a little maintenance for a new property. Food was good. Grounds are clean. Rooms are clean. Comfortable beds. Loved the coffee place ( star cafe). Staff are friendly. The beach is gorgeous. Clear water. Had to fight for shade. As there are not a lot of umbrella for the amount of people the resort holds. Pools area is large.

Iberostar Selection Holguin: Very good resort requiring some improvements.

Resort is a new addition (5 months) to many resorts already established in that area. Staff is very friendly and responses to every problem immediately. Beautiful beach, water very shallow and safe for children. Resort shares regular beach with Playa Pesquero Resort. Own beach is still under development. It has a great potentials. Hotel requires improvement in the buffet area. Organization and display of food is random and changing daily except typical frying stations. Choice of food is [... read more] great and tasty but needs improvement such as: labels what is what. Meat is typical Cuban style, a little bit chewy and tough but fish and seafood plenty and tasty. Excellent and always fresh and tasty bread and buns. The gourmet restaurants are very good. Bars and choice of drinks and alcohols very good. Shortly speaking, the resort will be a very good one if and when overcome initial mistakes and omissions.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Nice Resort

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the A/C in our room and it took several days and a complaint to our Air Transat Rep before someone that knew what they were doing came to look at it. Limited WiFi areas and you have to buy time in one hour blocks. The beach was awesome! Hardly any rocks and very little sea weed. It was more of a sea grass and it didn't start until further out where the water was above my head. We did have issues with the food but that  [... read more]is more of a Cuba thing as opposed to a resort thing but if you enjoy fish or cabbage you'll be fine. Lol!

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: average

In general nice hotel,grounds are clean and well take care of,public and dinning areas are clean and spacious.First room we were offered stinky and not clean.The next day we got a nice,clean room in renovated building.There is something wrong with last day for people living hotel at 11:45pm. you are in title to lunch and dinner but you can stay in the room till noon only. We pay additional $ 95 to be able to stay till 6:00pm not even 5 minutes longer. I am hopping for refund!!!!!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Fantastic Family Resort

This is a fantastic family resort. Friendly staff clean facilities, amazing food. There is so much to do on the resort that everyday there is something new to discover. Definitely reccomend for any family.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Could be better, could be worse!

The rooms are a little outdated (comforter and curtains) and our first room 18110 was terrible (dirty, patio didn't lock, ac wouldn't turn off, no hand towels, broken fridge, bathroom door wouldn't latch, broken safe etc..) The pools are nice. The beach is gorgeous. The food needs to be better labelled and more variety. No hot water twice, no water once and no hydro once. We still had a great time. Overall it's all about the company, the beautiful weather, been off work, and the beautiful scener [... read more]y. We found edible food and the second room was functional. All in all, it was a good vacation. 👙🍹☀️

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Amazing resort

Beautiful grounds, stunning beach, excellent food and the service was stellar. Rooms were very comfortable and well situated with the pools and beach close by. The quality of the food as well as the abundant choice of restaurants and buffets along with the 24 hour cafes and ice cream and crepe place just added to the amazing experience.Amazing holiday and would definitely go back to this wonderful resort, Iberostar Paraiso Lindo.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great resort for kids

Hotel was great. So many options/activities for the children. They were very impressed with the Star Camp, pools and beach. They also enjoyed the play structure and carousel in the evenings. Grand kids were very impressed with the breakfast buffet. While it is a huge resort, there were carts constantly circling to get you from one end to the other if required. We ordered and paid for an upgrade for a birthday party celebration and everything was well received. While most of the service st [... read more]aff could speak some English, answering any questions requiring details for the answer was often a challenge. The staff work very hard. We would return.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Not very happy.

The beach is stunning. The main lobby and terrace was always smokey. Our room's air conditioning was not working. We complained for 5 days before they offered to move us to another room. The only problem was they were not willing to move my children who were in an adjoining room. They did mange to fix the air conditioner on day 5. The food was absolutely disgusting. Nothing was labled properly. We would ask differnt staff what something was and get different answers each time. We were only [... read more] allowed to visit 3 out of the 5 ala cartes, that was their policy. At check out, when asked to do a customer survey, I wrote down my concerns and handed it back, right in front of me, the receptionist changed all my dissatisfactions to very excellents. I told her to stop and she just said sorry and smiled. This was not a cheap vacation and I was extremely disappointed.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Iberostar Review

Beautiful beach and pools, close to the downtown. Snorkelling at the beach was excellent. Food was okay (a la carte was similar to buffet meals). Drinks and bartending service was wonderful. Had a great time overall! Not a lot of options for vegetarians. Would like a running/biking trail close by - adventuring off the resort had to be done by cab/bus.

Hotel Mojito: Nice resort

First time in Cayo Coco and we enjoyed many different aspects of this trip. We did horse back riding in which they accommodated 8 of us which was in our group and that was slot of fun. Got nice pics on the beach with our horses! We did snorkeling which was a lot of fun. Alot of fish - was a good excursion! Great entertainment ! Good food and service!! Beautiful beach- amazing !! Would go back. Would recommend this to friends and family.

Hotel Mojito: Amazing Beach & Ocean

We were a group of 8 travelling during March Break which consisted of 2 adults and 8 teens. They put us in 3 rooms next door to each other which was appreciated. We had an amazing time. The most amazing beach and sand. The hotel was very clean and our room was spacious. Only downside were the European guests. They were pushy and rude and will steal your reserved lounge chairs.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Loved this resort

It had a stunning beach and both busy and quiet pools. A la Carte restaurants were great - we went to Italian, Cuban and Japanese. Buffet had many choices and there were two other quiet restaurants. If you want a party atmosphere you can have it or if you prefer quiet and relaxing, that’s available too.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great resort

Had a great week in Mexico. The staff at the resort were amazing. Some even remembered us from our last visit to the resort 4 years ago. Well be going back again next year with a bigger group. The kids area is amazing as well.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Quaint and Pretty

This resort is very small and quite quaint. The pool was lovely and the grounds on the resort beautiful. Unfortunately the beach was far less than ideal. A tremendous amount of seaweed in the water therefore we avoided it. The beach was raked daily but there was just way too much seaweed. Another negative to our experience was the food. We did not care for the buffet food at all. It was a split review when we talked to people. Some loved it and some did not. We were also looking forward [... read more] to frozen cocktails but those were extremely limited as well and only available at the main lounge. Our garden view looked over a chain link fence and the laundry/kitchen/maintnenance. facility for the resort. No garden in sight! Overall a relaxing trip but we won’t be returning.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: it was a fun time

It was what we expected by reading the reviews...we went there with an opened mind...the beach was amazing...it needs a lot of work on simple thing...food was good...the staff was good...the location was great

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: This resort was satisfactory.

If you have traveled to Cuba you will understand my comments. Food was satisfactory and generally the same each day. Restaurants were ok. The rooms were clean and roomy. The beach had rock buried in the sand so you need shoes. There really isn't a walkable beach. You can get on a bus and go to a very nice beach and it is only 3 to 4 minutes. The restaurant at this beach although it doesn't look like much had very good fish and lobster. I would recommend this. Bring toilete paper. And yes y [... read more]ou can run out of paper at the resort in the lobby washrooms. Always have a napkin with you. The people were great and provided very good service. Pools were nice and have some algae on the walls. No walkable beach on site as I mentioned. They have a bar and kind of a boardwalk on the beach. You can walk out into the water which is nice. I would recommend it with an explanation.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Amazing resort!

My husband and I have been to many, many resorts in the Caribbean including Mexico. Some were very large. Some were brand new. It is an older one; however, we have been at brand new resorts that had issues. Internet was excellent (husband was happy). However this resort was the right size, excellent food with plenty of choices. Staff service throughout was excellent. Room was clean. This is the first time I actually wanted to stay longer.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: We made the best of it!

My eleventh time to Cuba, third to Veradero! When I first started travelling to the Caribbean 15 yrs ago, my first trip was to Holquin and I thought I was in paradise. Each year I went I generally came home sick, but overlooked it all because of the great things I enjoyed so much, most especially the wonderful beaches and azure water. I’m 15 yrs older and have visited 12 Caribbean Islands since. This was my last holiday to Veradero, and probably Cuba for some time to come. I visited L [... read more]uguna Azul six yrs ago while staying at an adjacent resort. It looked so regal and welcoming with the lovely pool with waterfall.. it is still lovely to look at but the waterfall is no longer there. This resort in six years has seen a lot of traffic, however it has not been maintained well. (At all!) Many folks who review may not have a lot of comparables, some are looking for a budget holiday, others allow for low expectatations etc. This year the prices remained high and were in close comparison to Mexico, yet there is no comparison to the standard and quality between a 4 star in Cuba to that in Mexico. This resort I would put no higher than 3.5 or less. Here is why I say this: Sunwing direct - Good flight, no issues. Check in - Easy and no issues We asked for an ocean view room which put us at the end of the 17 on the 4 th floor. The elevators in our wing were broken and unavailable all week, it looked as though they hadnt worked in some time. Room - Typical and dated room, fridge did not work, safe had to be repaired as we couldn’t open it after we programmed it, closet door fell off and it was not repaired, no hot water for three full days and towels were worn, hard and old. Bed was comfy however, and air conditioning worked well. Our fridge was restocked with water each day but not consistently with Soda and beer. Maid service was excellent and room was kept very clean. Two out of three resort hot tubs no longer work and are empty. Internet cards cost 1 convertible peso for one hour usage..internet is sketchy at best and available in only a couple of designated areas. Beach was lovely, however littered with cigarette butts..simple fix would be inexpensive pots under each cabana filled with sand as ashtrays. The chair game is played hard here, with many saving chairs the evening before. Beach bar serves good drinks. Pool, more shade areas would be nice, pool itself is well maintained but pity about losing the lovely focal point of the waterfall. Again, unless to the pool by eight, nothing at all left under any shade areas. The landscaping is sparse and after this amount of time one would expect mush more mature vegetation. Not a lot of attention has gone into creating gardening and flora. (I realize this is picky, however this is what you expect from a high rated resort on a tropical island) Food - this is the deal breaker for me.. I simply cannot do the food anymore. The resort was full, so with one Buffett it is every man for themselves with no queues ..it is bedlam. Very few items had a food label, and some things were completely unidentifiable. I ate scarecley and simply with no sauces..to avoid stomach problems. That said two in our party after an evening at the ala carts at the beachside buffet became violently ill with food poisoning. This kept them both down and out and in bedfor close to 2 days. I’m tired of defending and also hearing “ It’s Cuba, and we dont go for the food”..knowing it will most likely be bad! These resorts are for the most part owned and operated by large European brands sitting on Cuban land leases. We are pouring millions of dollars into their economy each year, which I believe is necessary for them to have as the everyday Cuban family have very little. That said, the majority of guests are Canadian, and we spend money..after so many years can we not expect more? Cuba has trade with several countries including Canada. They need to do better, they can do better. I’m all done excusing bad food that is making tourists ill. They need to bring in Canadian and European chefs to assist them with decent menu plans, food labelling and food handling techniques. The grills in this buffet were not cleaned, say what you will...the food is terrible, and this ruins many travellers experience. My other complaint was lack of service in the Buffett, understaffed and horribly slow in getting drinks, even water to guest tables. We made the best of our holiday however and enjoyed the weather, pool and beach.. I do not go to the shows, and only did one ala carte. Booking with Trip Central was easy and efficient, our agent helpful. Sunwing was good this time around with excellent flight service.. I love you Cuba..but it’s time to up the game!
