Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Wonderful week at Playa Alameda!

This was our second time at this resort and we loved it just as much the second time as we did the first. Great beach and lots of beach chairs. Loved the buffet restaurant, we had a great variety of foods and the servers were wonderful, always attentive and ready with water, wine or whatever we needed at the table.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Great Vacation

This was our first time in Cuba and while I can't say everything was perfect we would certainly not have any reservations about returning to this lovely resort. The beaches were spectacular with fine sand and plenty of room for lounging or walking, whatever you want to do. The food was not always exceptional but it was plentiful and we could always find something to eat. The room was extremely large and the cleaning staff kept everything in top shape. The hotel grounds are well manicured and ver [... read more]y large. I would definitely not recommend this resort for anyone with mobility problems but we enjoyed the walking. We did not do any of the offered excursions and the fact that the resort is isolated was just perfect for relaxing. All in all an excellent vacation.

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Exceeded Expectations

A beautiful resort. Meticulously clean. Beautiful pools and gorgeous beaches. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive. The buffet was creative and always fresh. The alacarte restaurants were very good, as well. There were no crowds around the pool. This may have been because we went the second week in January, which is traditionally a quiet time for the resort. A perfect vacation. We will be going back.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: CUBA 2019

Beautiful resort, lot's of renovations completed since our visit last year such as Marine restaurant opened and larger patio area around the pool area. We were disappointed at check in. We advised that we were REPEAT customers and the only request we asked for was a King size bed. We were assigned a room with 2 double beds and had to wait for a NEW room with a King bed. Customer requests should be reviewed prior to arrival to the resort.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Beautiful relaxing resort

This was our third visit to this resort. Nothing bad to report other than the lack of wash clothes, peanut butter and breads. I will certainty go back. The staff is amazing, the grounds are beautiful and the spa/adult section is peaceful

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Incredible Vacation

The Iberostar RoseHall Beach Resort and their staff are incredible! we had a fantastic time with a perfect mix of relaxing and great entertainment. Food was great, with great variety- the chefs and wait staff always there to answer questions. Entertainment crew was SO MUCH FUN offering a little something for everyone *my only suggestion would be for them to maybe "post" what they have going on- because its so much and easy to miss something you want to do!* The drinks were delicious! (huge shou [... read more]t out to Anthony at the deepblue pool bar for keeping us topped up and having some fun conversations) The beach was crystal clear and we were able to walk between the three iberostar resorts and in my opinion the "beach resort" definitely had the BEST , clearest beach! all in all it was a great week of sun and fun and will definitely reccomend to friends and family! the only dissapointments we had was construction while we were there and although it could be loud at times we were intrigued to see what they were doing! and the wait staff on the pool deck often did not bring us our drinks requested- but the other bars are within a very short vacinity so easy to get our own.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Very Nice Resort

We booked Prestige Swim Out and were not disappointed. We were originally in 10037 however the sun did not hit the pool/room until after 2 pm so we asked to be moved to another room. We were moved to room 10028 which was perfect for location and sun. The hotel, our room, the grounds, beach are very clean and well maintained. The people who work there are very welcoming and accommodating. The Service from the front desk to housekeeping, dinning, entertainment experience to ground [... read more]s keepers all made for an enjoyable vacation. We are already planning next year for 2 weeks. Others did have issues with hot water and flooding which was not in our building. We have to understand that Cuba does not have the resources of our country and under the circumstances they handled these issues very well using the resources that they had. This was the BEST! we have experienced in Cuba.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Amazing resort for sure

My husband and I travelled to this resort from feb 1-8 2019. We have never been to this resort but been to Cuba many many times. We had a very pleasant stay. We booked an oceanview room which was very nice. Our beds were so soft and comfortable, the pillows were also very nice other than I find them huge as they are double size, but still very soft. So we had a great night sleep. Other resort we have been to have given us sore bodies and have actually had to put a towel under the sheet to s [... read more]top a spring from sticking in you from some of the beds and pillows are usually hard and I would get a sore neck. So we were pleasantly surprised at the great beds and pillows at this place. Our fridge was topped up daily and we always got a big bottle of water which was great. Our room was nice and clean along with the whole resort. Gardeners are doing a beautiful job at keeping the place looking fabulous. The food was good. Lots to pick from at the buffet. We booked the steak el- cart one and the steak was so tender and done perfect. Usually I order medium rare but I feel they don’t cook the meat long enough so we ordered them med well and they were perfect. Very tasty too The staff was all very polite and happy to help you. The beaches of course are always great. Nice sand in this are. There was lots of lounge chairs and Palapas to get some shade if you wanted too. The beach in this area was very large so lots of room. There was never any seaweed on the beach either. We had perfect weather everyday. Not a drop of rain , sunny and temp in the 82* range. We don’t sit around the pool but lots of room there as well and the pools were sparkling clean so well taken care of. The pool had the betterloingeea which isn’t really fair aa we don’t sit at pool. So we had the hard loungers. I don’t have anything bad to say about the resort except it could use more sitting places in the lobby area and also cut the smoking insidecopletely out. There was lots of places out side to smoke and lots of chairs. I think they are trying to stop the smoking inside as they don’t have ashtrays but people still sat inside and smoked and they would put ashes on the floors. Which is extremely rude. I couldn’t believe people actually do this. I felt bad for the people working there who had to clean up after them. Other than that the resort was wonderful and we would consider going back again. They had some very good entertainment every night for an hour. The preformers did a great job. We really like the romantic night and the rock and roll bands. Lots of entertainment going on all day as well. Great resort I defiantly recommend this place.

Iberostar Origin Tainos: Smokers Resort

If you are nonsmoker do not go to this resort. It's small resort no lineups people are nice food is okay same everyday. Entertainment was not not that great. Beautiful beach just got back. It was very cold so make sure you take sweaters for the evening. Give gifts like clothing to the maid and chef and they will do anything for you.Cubans are beautiful people but go 5 star at Cuba. I nspite of all this we had fun and enjoyed the beautiful Cuban beach must go.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: AWESOME RESORT!

This resort was amazing and so much fun. The food at the a la carte restaurants, the buffets and the snacks at the beach were all wonderful. The taco shop at the on resort shopping plaza was so good! The grounds were well maintained and the staff were all friendly and accommodating.We went on three excursions and they were also amazing. The staff were so knowledgeable and fun.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Wonderful time and wonderful resort

My family of 3 stayed at the Iberostar Dominicana from Jan 30 to Feb 7th. Our second time at an Iberostar and we expected good quality and service. And we got it. This hotel/resort is always so clean and well kept. The staff are always working so hard to keep everyone happy, satisfied and not wanting for anything. They are sooo amazing and always have a smile on their faces. The beach is amazing and clean. The pools are similarly clean and well kept. We always found a place to sit or la [... read more]y down our stuff. I also have to say that all the bathrooms were always clean, functioning and well stocked with paper products.... The gardens are so wonderfully manicured and beautiful. We used the gym facilities and can't say enough of them. Everything was just top notch and I think we all had a great vacation. A shout out to Yera, Bruno Mars and all the entertainment group. They were always 'on' and always making sure everyone was enjoying themselves....Finally, the food was good and there was always variety. The only negative I would say is that there are vendors on the beach that keep wanting to sell stuff. But if you say no thank you, or ignore them, then they move on. We would definitely return to this place, and I would highly recommend this resort to anyone. Thank you to all at the Iberostar Dominicana.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Fun and relaxing

Big enough so that if you want fun, you can have it...if you want peace and quiet, you can have that too. Room was clean, most things worked well, housekeeping was wonderful. Food, you don't go to Cuba for the food. It was good enough. The specialty restaurants were a bit of a let down, especially for a vegetarian. The pasta bar in the main buffet was a huge letdown...half cooked pasta. Al dente and undercooked pasta are not the same thing. The tour of Mazantas and the caves was excell [... read more]ent, try to get Jose as your tour guide. Did get ripped off at the money exchange desk at the front desk. Learned to ask questions about exchange rates then was treated fairly after that. I like to tip well but hate being cheated. Nothing to do with the resort but the Custom's Agent at the airport was over the top mean....seething with anger actually, made me want to leave Cuba asap. Not sure why they think harassing travelers like that is good for their tourist industry. .

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Amazing resort!!

I loved everything about this place!! 24 of us went and we all loved it!!! The staff everywhere on the resort were amazing!! We will definitely be going back next year, we already started looking for packages!!!

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Had A Great Time at the Iberostar Laguna Azul

This hotel is in a great location,close to town of varadero to explore or get something good to eat.There is a lot of shops for all your souvenir needs.We traveled from Jan 28 through Feb 5 and the weather was fantastic.I went shore fishing every morning and caught fish everyday.If you go to the buffet and ask head chef for bait he will gladly give you some.A tip goes along way.The resort is laid out very well with all the a la carte restaurants in one location.The food was average in buffet,I h [... read more]ighly recommend the Japanese restaurant,they cook it right in front of you very cool.The rooms are big a well appointed you have everything you need(a little dated)but beds are comfy and pillows were great.The pools were kept very clean,workers cleaning every morning.All the wait staff where friendly and always smiling.We did not go on excursion as I have been to Cuba more then 25 times,I rent a scooter for the week and go exploring myself.As for the currency exchange it was horrible at the resort (100 Canadian for 69 cuc ).If you goto the American Mall down the road the exchange was much better (100 canadian for 73 cuc).They have a double decker bus that tours varadero and resorts,it costs 5 cuc for all day pass well worth the money.The grounds were well appointed and kept very clean.There was no bugs the whole week.Overall experience I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.If you have any questions please contact my email.Thanks for ready Scott

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Amazing Resort.. We Loved it

The food was excellent and the entertainment. The grounds and pool areas were very clean There were a large assortment of shade areas This was our first time at this resort and will definitely visit again

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Outstanding Service and Staff!!!!!!!!!

The Iberostar Costa Dorada was an amazing experience. The resort was beautiful with very well groomed tress and plants. They had ground level lighting so you could clearly see where you were walking in the dark. The food was excellent and always available. The staff were very polite and very proficient. The pool and swim up bar was amazing and so was the bartender. There was always room around the pools and eating areas. There was no shortage of water anywhere on the resort. The only complaints  [... read more]we had on this vacation would be the pressure to attend the Iberostar club briefing and the outdated room.The room was dated and needs to be modernized. They pretty much chased us to attend the 90 min presentation about the club. It was only at the very end of the brief that they gave you actual information and pricing about the club. Unless you are avid travelers (3 or more times a year) the club is not worth the cost. Overall this resort was a 9/10 and easily 4 1/2 Stars. We totally look forward to staying here again in the future.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Great hotel

The flight was excellent the people at the resort were very friendly the towels were nice and big the beach was spectacular. I had a great time. My room was clean and it had a chaise in it which was great. The buffet was small but you always had food to eat.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Amazing Resort

The resort was fantastic. We stayed in the Spa Section. The accommodations were first class. The staff were so kind and helpful. Swimming pool was amazing. Beaches great. Absolutely no complaints with the food.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Nice resort

We have been to Cuba many times and we can say that we had a good experience. The grounds were neat and tidy and beach was beautiful. Drinks really flowed with excellent waiter service, both during the shows and the lobby areas. The shows were really well done and the bands were good also. The food had lots of choice but usually not served warm. Our biggest complaint would be the beach BBQ as the burgers were not cooked enough, tho you could always get fries and pizza at the pool bar. All s [... read more]taff were friendly and appreciate tips as well as small gifts, especially clothing items. It's a great resort for walking as there is a new marina across the road with resturants and a bowling alley. For the price that we paid for an adult only resort I would recommend it as a place to go, but always with an open mind. They work with what they have and try staying in Canada for the same price, to put it in perspective.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Noce resprt

Hotel and facilities were nice and everyone was friendly.. Biggest complaint was inconsistant housekeeping and room replenishment.they place also had odd bar hours. With the exception of the lobby bar, each bar is open for a few hours at a time which is odd. the food was actually much better than i expected.all in all had a wonderfull time.
