Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Tired and run down

This hotel is a 2 star at best. Rooms were disgusting with wet plaster on the walls (hiding stains and mould) and the furniture looked like it had been pulled out of a dumpster. 4 of 6 in our group got sick, as did multiple other guests we talked to. The beach and weather was great, and the people were nice - that’s the most positive I can be about my experience there. The beach in Punta Cana is as good or better - go there instead!

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Amazing Resort

We were a group of 7 and all of us were 100% happy with Iberostar Grand. The rooms were large and really comfortable. The maid service was quick and always left me a happy note as well as chilled champagne and a roses bubble bath. Our butler jesus was always checking on us asking how we were and if needed anything. The food was delicous! The lounge service was top line. Any drink you wanted with top of the line liquor. With popcorn! The fresh water pools are really refreshing with floats availa [... read more]ble also and we always had a cabana available with a abundance of towels. They would set them up and the chef would bring people dishes of paella.Umberto and Alberto who worked the pool bar always remembered what your drink preference was and even concocted a new drink for us called a Dirty Canadain in Mexico.We even order lemon drop shots at the swim up bar. What fun. We loved the entertainment , service, food and the customer service. Not one complaint from any of us. We all plan on going again. Worth every penny. Thanks Iberostar!

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Wonderfull Resort

Nice rooms, good size beach and pools, great food and service. Clean and well organized. Nice shows and entertainment. Bartenders amaizing and knolegeable. Would highly recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Amazing resort

I travelled week of November 19th for 7 days with my family to Iberostar Costa Dorada on recommendation from my travel agent. It was close to airport and not too crazy busy or over crowded. The weather was bright and sunny each and every day and was great to get away from the winter weather. The food was decent and we tried Japanese restaurant which was our favourite as well as Mexican a la carte. My daughter enjoyed herself at the kids club. She was always kept entertained the and participated  [... read more]in the childrens nightly shows. The adult nightly entertainment was awesome. Loin King show was our favourite and well done. Our room was cozy and spacious with a nice bathroom and balcony stocked daily with beer soft drinks and water. We were visited by peacocks daily walking the grounds. There were cats around but kept to themselves for most of the time. There were lovely ponds with flamingos and turtles by the main entrance. Everyone spoke english and it was easy to communicate. The check in/out experience was good. I would like to thank Christina and Naomi at the concierge desk for their warm hospitality. The bartenders: Marlon, Lito, Juan at Theclub bar. Leonardo and miguel x 2 at the pool bar. I had an amazing massage. We went to Ocean world as a day trip and swam with the sharks. The sea lions is the best show and would book that encounter next trip. They have a little beach and aquatic centre as well. My recommendations: 1) Pool revonations is a must. Concrete was falling apart in pool, at swim up bar and pool bottom so our feet got scapes. Pack water shoes. 2) Beach was a little rocky and full of seaweed. They had to shovel it daily but did not get to it too late in afternoon. Perhaps have it done early in am as it took hours. 3) Private washroom on the beach for Theclub members and snacks. Overall it was an amazing resort and birthday trip and looking for visiting more Iberostar resorts worldwide.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Awesome resort

Very nice resort! All the staff so friendly and helpful. Excellent food everyday and lots of activities to keep you busy if you like. We loved the buffet on the beach for lunch everyday as well. We would go back again

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Fantastic all round

This property is definitely a must stay at place. The only issue we had was the first room had a few things wrong. We went straight to our sunwing rep Janel and he had it all sorted out within an hour and had us moved to another room. The staff and grounds were fantastic. I have absolutely nothing bad to say. We didnt do any of the ala carte restaurants but everyone that went had no complaints. I definitely give this a 5star rating. This was our first vacation in 5 years and Natalie our agent a [... read more]t tripcentral made it very easy.

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Amazing resort!!!

Very much enjoyed our stay at the Iberostar Grand Paraiso! This was our 4th visit and it never fails to impress. The food and the service was over the top! The facility is stunning and well kept. The entertainment is subtle but suitable to the feel and style of this resort. Highly recommend this resort for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Loved this resort.

Iberostar was a pleasant surprise for me. 1st time at this place been to cuba 11 times, I would have to say it is now my favorite. The lead man for entertainment Charlie help make the vacation experience unnerving for me because it was my first time being alone. He organized a breakfast and helped the single people interacting that helped meet so many wonderful people. I never felted scared or intimated just great clean fun..

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Good Family Resort

Overall a nice resort, but there were a few issues. Rooms: no slippers or robes, air conditioner needed repair, some in our party did not get turn down service Food: buffet food was ok, but not great; food at the Mexican restaurant was terrible; the gourmet restaurant was nice Beach: beach area was nice in front of the property, but completely neglected off the property; one section of the beach seemed to be a dump for excess sand, seaweed, and other debris. Property: well maintained and at [... read more]tractive, with lots of security Disco: good music and nice size Pools: no quiet pool; you can hear the music everywhere

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Staff were just fantastic

I was first impressed by the lobby. It is open an inviting. The couch cushions in the lobby need to be replaced. The staff at the front desk were accommodating and friendly. I got locked out twice at night, once they couldn't get me in so they gave me another room for the night. The rooms were nice and clean. The beds could be updated but I did sleep well. The swim-up bar was fun to hang out at. The pool was lovely. The sand is powdery white and the ocean shades of clear turquoise. We grabbed be [... read more]er from the on site store and went out on the pier and enjoyed some quiet time out there. The food was great, yes its not Canadian style, its Cuban style but still good. There was always a great selection. The grounds were well maintained and it was nice to see regular maintenance being kept up. The only drawback this place had was there was no little town nearby to go and investigate. Once on the resort you were kinda limited to excursions. This place is great and we will go back again.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Amazing resort!

Loved this hotel. It was clean updated, food was great diffrent type of food every night and the staff was always friendly and willing to help. The beach was amazing crytal clear. I would love to stay at this hotel again.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Good for the most part

Separate beds for my partner and I which I didn’t appreciate. Got the run around and they were never able to get us a bed together. My bed had hair from 2 different people on the sheets and blood stained into the sheets. The last person in the room left the sliding door open so there was at least 10 mosquitos in the room. Had to complain to the manager and took 2 days for someone to come clean it. Rooms are dated, nothing nice about them. Mosquitos wait right by your door to come in, I went ho [... read more]me with at least 50 bites which have now swollen. Diarrhea minimum 3x a day. Had to only eat bread and rice by the last few days. Other than the negative: Beautiful grounds. Charlie from the entertainment is super fun and friendly. The sunwing rep can help you if you need anything. Weather was good 5/7 days. It rained a lot on 2 days. Stayed in and played cards. Met a lot of great and interesting people from Germany, Austria, Montreal, and Ontario. Mostly older crowd, maybe only 20% younger. Would recommend going off the resort for nightlife, the marina is a 10 minute walk and has a club that’s not bad. Women, bring toilet paper.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Wonderful vacation

Nov 11 to 18. Only issue needed to change rooms as sliding glass door wouldn’t close. Hotel staff had us in another room 1/2 hour after arriving. We booked in spa area. Adults only. Very quiet. Building 20. Very close to everything. Encenochos beach is stunning. This was a trip to celebrate our 30th anniversary and our 1st time at this resort in cayo Santa Maria. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back again

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Small but mighty

I was very impressed with the overall quality.of the Iberostar Daquari. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, staff were friendly, food was really good, fairly quick lines ups at the buffet and bars. I could go on and on. There is a reason why they get repeat visitors.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Not very Happy Iberostar Laguna Azul

Was not pleased at all. Ran out of Crystal beer on the 2nd day, food limited, room had no air conditioning, nothing stocked in fridge except mold, was so disappointed we were there 4 years ago and it was fantastic, really has gone down hill, the only good thing is Dania and Kensey helped us out but still resort is going down hill fast, all resorts around looked run down, been going to Cuba for 11 years and now we are done, so sad such a wonderful place and wonderful people but resorts too run do [... read more]wn and not being renovated so sad

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Great resort

The resort was lovely and the people were even better. The food was not so great, typical of Cuba. The pool could have been vacuumed as there were crabs and cigarette butts on the bottom. I can’t say enough about the staff. My son made friends with one of the bartenders and when we left she gave him a gift. So sweet!

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Amazing resort

This was an amazing hotel. Everything was so clean and well kept. The grounds were beautiful as was the pool and beach. Would definetly go back here. The staff were all so friendly and the entertainment staff went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I was amazed that Marco and Marcello even remembered our names. Food was good and it was nice that there was a variety of restaurants to go to. All in all I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Great time!

Beautiful vacation resort. So much great food to eat, wonderful and friendly service from the staff and a clean beach to lounge at. We all enjoyed a kayaking adventure as well as other services the resort offers (scuba diving lesson, snorkeling). Rooms are kept clean (no unexpected guests), hallways, elevators, lobby, pool, everything was well maintained. Evenings were filled with much entertainment. Beach Party was a blast.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great Resort!

We recently vacationed for a week at the Iberostar Costa Dorada with a group of 14. Check in was effecient with pleasant staff. We were in bldg. #7 on the 3rdfoor. Room was great and was cleaned well every day. We only had a little problem with our safe but someone came up and fixed it within minutes. The entire resort was well groomed. We enjoyed the buffets as there was lots of variety and the 3 alacartes were exceptional with wonderful service. They did a good job of entertaining us all week. [... read more] Would definitely go back. Thankyou to all the hard working and pleasant staff.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: Great Family Vacation

We had a fantastic time in Veradera. The staff was amazing and very helpful. Our only issue was that we came home with bites. We are not sure if they came from the sand or the mattresses. Food was okay and the night time entertainment was amazing.
