Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Decent Place

This place had everything we needed for a nice fly and flop, the rooms where clean and pool was awesome all new chairs which where very nice, the resort overall was very well manintained, The only real problem was they have to try and keep the food a little warmer and food was only average, but you could always find something to eat for sure, The pool staff bar tenders are the best very nice and do a great job making you feel welcomed.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Solid 4 star resort

Stayed at this resort from Jan.9-16and had a great time. Flew with Sunwing and that was horrible but no reflection on the resort. Grounds were very nice with fixups ongoing. There was a few issues with bar/restaurant closures due to low season that I wish I had known about earlier. Only went to 1 ala carte which was excellent (Jambalaya). Funny though , the place was empty although many people were told it was fully booked. Heard this was pretty common. All staff were more than friendly and all  [... read more]you had to do was ask and they would make it happen. Special shout out to Monique at the beach. Such a wonderful lady!! Vendors at the beach were fun . All you have to say is no and they leave you alone if that is what you want. I like to get to know them myself. You get a better idea of true island life. Ask them to make up a rap for you, it's a blast. Oh and one last thing , the food is amazing!! You will enjoy.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: best time ever

this should be called Charlie's place and we are all his angels!! this should be called Charlie's place and we are all his angels!! this should be called Charlie's place and we are all his angels!! this should be called Charlie's place and we are all his angels!!

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Loved it more than the first time

We love this resort/franchise so much! We have stayed at the Punta Cana & Bavaro now and definetly will return to the Bavaro side because of the accommodations. Villas are so key for me because I’m very noise-sensitive and so echoing in hallways when in hotel style always keeps me awake and/or disturbs me. The villas at Bavaro are great. The washrooms could use some TLC & the TV was a little shotty, but who’s watching TV on vacation?! The rooms were great at both locations. We preferred the  [... read more]pool and food on the Punta Cana/Dominicana side of the resort, but you have use of the whole property, so no big deal! The ONLY complaint we have is that they seem to have changed the food from the last time we were there and there is way too much seafood! Like, way too much! Seemed like every night was sushi/fish night...the problem? My husband is highly allergic to all fish (shellfish, seafood)!!! He was relegated to eating pizza and bread because the cross-contamination with people using tongs from fish to touch other non-fish items and also dropping seafood into other dishes was rampant! There was no safe food for him to eat. When we went to the Punta Cana side 2 years ago, he did eat something that obviously fish had touched because he had a severe reaction and was throwing up trying to avoid a hospital visit. SO I do wish the menu wasn’t so fish-heavy, because in 2017 it wasn’t like that. We would go to each of the 3 Buffetts on this recent stay hoping for a different food theme, but fish was everywhere at all 3 buffets every night :( But anyway...the grounds are beautiful, the accommodations, the service, we just love DR and love this franchise. We will be back (hopefully the menu returns to 2017 and they find other foods to feature!)

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Loved this Resort

Resort was beautiful, well kept and clean. The food was awesome. The buffet lacked signage to tell you what the food was and the public washrooms could use a little TLC. There was no lack of food options. No complaints

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Amazing Staff and nice resort!!

Overall nice comfortable resort! Amazing food and lots of different choices daily! Cudos tobthe chef who did a Giant Paella dish at Bbq one day!! Can’t say enough about the most friendly AND. Accommodating Staff Best I’ve encountered in 19 trips to Cuba! Every dept day or nite fantastic people....made us feel like a celebrity!! Only thing I would suggest is better lighting at night on walkeays(we were in building16) Also might have been our building only but never hot water for shower an [... read more]d little pressure Otherwise top notch!!

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Beautiful, Relaxing Vacation

This resort was absolutely beautiful with the walking paths, animals, and foliage. The staff was always cheerful and helpful, and we found the food to be superb (especially the international buffet!). The only complaint we had were the pillows were not very comfortable, but it wasn't really enough to complain about. But the small shopping centre was a lovely short walk away. We loved going for a little walk first thing in the morning to get our coffee (and sometimes crepes). We were thankful for [... read more] the quiet areas of the pool/lounging for our reading binges. We would most definitely go back as this one is our favourite resort we have been to so far!

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Average resort

The room we were in was clean and your standard room. The pool and beach areas were nice. The bartenders at the swim up bar were fantastic. Friendly, remembered your drink orders and were entertaining. There is always something available somewhere on the resort for you to eat. No one would ever go home hungry. The buffet restaurant although the food was good it was basically the same menu each night. I would recommend reservations at 1 of 3 specialty restaurants. When making a reservation for [... read more] one of the restaurants you need to do this as soon as you get to the hotel or before if possible. We arrived at the hotel at around 6 pm, we made our reservations the following morning at 9:30. Two of the three restaurants only had availability left for one night of the six remaining nights we were there and the seating times were not until 8:30 at night. For some people this time might be fine, however, for myself I would prefer an earlier seating. The specialty restaurants were a steak house, a Japanese restaurant and a Cajun restaurant. The Japanese restaurant had the best seating times and you could pick from several days. By far the Japanese restaurant had the best food and entertainment. I would highly recommend making a reservation or two at this restaurant. When we were there the hotel was not anywhere near capacity so you could was find a lounge chair near the pool. However I don’t know if some of the entertainment during the day was lacking because there was not the clientele. The evening entertainment was your typical resort type show. Nice way to end your day after a day at the beach or pool. My recommendation however, for the evenings entertainment is that it start earlier. The shows did not start until 9:45 which seemed late, especially if you have children. All in all nice clean resort with super friendly staff.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Amazing resort

Had the best time food was pretty good and staff was very friendly will come back the only thing I didn't like they kept on running out of mint for mojitos and took half a day to restock but other then that perfect resort

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Very nice resort

Very nicely appointed and most had good exposure overlooking beach, well kept and well maintained good housekeeping and very polite staff.mini fridge was refilled everyday and room service was welcome feature at the resort.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: A family affair

Hotel had a lot to offer everyone in our group, from 5 years old to 75 years young. Food was consistently good, pool was beautiful and beach location exquisite. Larger resort than we have previously experienced so less of a community feel among guests and staff. But overall, the evening shows were breath taking and the experience was a good one.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Very nice resort!

This was my first time going to Perto Plata, and I liked the fact that I chose this resort. 1. The food was good, there was always a different variety every night. 2. There was always something going on, so if you decide to take a break from laying on the beach- there was entertainment during the day, evening and night. 3. The rooms were nice, and staff very friendly.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Fantastic Resort

Just returned from Iberostar Lindo in the Mayan Riviera.....had a great holiday with my Daughter... I love this resort...Staff are very helpful, pleasant and hard working...property is beautiful...well maintained..our room was very clean and well stocked..including various drinks in the fridge...We stayed in building 51 which was near the pools and not far from the beach...lots of shaded areas for those who do not like sun around the pool..but the same for the sun lovers...grass covered shades  [... read more]are plentiful on the beach and around the pool...pool was rather chilly..but on a hot day...who cares..you get used to it..the sea was warmer...and not too rough while we were there..sandy, clean , minimal seaweed...and was whisked away by the tractor rakes daily.....we stayed around the pool most afternoons.my daughters choice.lots of activity going on for anyone who wanted to get involved..tremendous bar service poolside by staff ...most days Angela was our server..she was fantastic..friendly and courteous..the inpool bar was inviting too.. Beds were comfortable..many eating areas to select from during the day...plentiful fruit ..and food selections...we enjoyed the speciality restaurants we went to..especially Japanese.. This is a large resort and we were near the beach..there are many golf cart like buses that travel around and you can just hop on and get to destination..alternately you can call for one ..there is one or two Conceirges available in each building, so makes things like booking specialty restaurants easy...getting a ride....as well as passing any concerns to the right department. There is a “shopping plaza” on the grounds that has a few stores ....but there also is a small casino located there..a disco if you have interest..a place where kids can get cotton candy and other sweets which is included in your package.. a merry-go-round.. ...as well as a fantastic crepe bar..we loved that place..yum..also a place to get your speciality coffees and latees etc..donuts and sandwiches..’(there also is another coffee shop like this open 24 hrs a day just through the main lobby to the left in the Lindo) Transportation was on time and efficient to and from the airport... A+

Iberostar Origin Tainos: Beautiful resort

Just got home from Iberostar Tainos in Veredaro. My daughter and I went for a relaxing get away. We stayed in one of the bungalows and it was beautiful. Weather was in the eightys. We loved the food but mostly we love the Cubans. Such sweet people. When we were leaving we gave so many hugs to all. Such warm hospitality

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Amazing resort!!

Had so much fun here. The staff is amazing and the resort is beautiful. They made my first time in cuba Amazing!! I would absolutely recommend this resort to anyone travelling to Cuba alone or in a group.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: WONDERFUL RESORT

This adult all inclusive is a great place to stay with a variety of eating places and activities throughout the day IF you choose to attend or be part of. The Kiniro Japanese was our favorite restaurant, not only from the food selection but the entertainment provided at the cooking tables. We also went twice to Es Palau...their fish was amazing. The Galleon had great meat selection...Port Maria was our go to for breakfast and lunch....The Cornwall had an amazing selection also for breakfast [... read more] and dinner.....La Toscana was their Italian restaurant....they should change the name because IT WAS NOT ITALIAN...we were very disappointed with the food and cancelled our last night there, and chose the Cornwall. Our suite was amazing...and always looked after...the beach was beautiful and clean...the pools were nice...If you love golf you should play The Witch and Cinnamon Hill...the views are inspiring...the fairways could use more grass...putting areas were good. Nightly entertainment was very good.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great Resort

The hotel was nice resort was small Service was slow The prestige bar was great but other areas was not so much Lots of rain , making the areas very slippery Food was ok but not the best I have had in Dominican Lots of cats running around the dinning areas

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Family Friendly Resort

The grounds and public areas are clean and well maintained. Rooms are great! There is a step down so be careful if you have really little ones but there is a light so you can see it at night. They do provide apt-sized cribs, good for babies but too small for kids over 1.5yrs old. My only frustration was constantly needing to request plastic cups for my 2 year olds. Everything is glass! They do have them but are slow about bringing them to you. Also, they do have high chairs but often slow to bri [... read more]ng them to your table.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Great resort!!

Enjoyed our stay!! Loved the 2 bedroom hut Very friendly staff Good food!! Was a little confusing after dark as there are many pathways to get to the rooms wish there was more lights on these paths. That is our only concern Great entertainment and no fighting for beach chairs and poolside Lots of seating!! Would definately go here again. 15 minutes from the airport was a real bonus

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Will not be Returning

We were at this resort from December 27th 2018 to January 3rd 2019. Beach was beautiful, staff were friendly and overall we had a great trip. However since coming home 3 out of the 4 of us who went on this trip have all been very sick. We have all gone to doctors and been diagnosed with gut infections, parasites and Salmonella and are now all on antibiotics. Due to this we do not reccomend this resort and we will not be returning. Better sanitary measures need to be taken with food and the all r [... read more]estaurants and buffet should be serving bottled water only.
