Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Great time

Had an amazing time at the resort. The people are very friendly and will make your stay enjoyable. Good food. Try the 4 resturants, they all had great food and service. Pool was warm and so was the ocean. Rooms were big and clean.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: very nice resort with great beach

simple resort with nice pool and great beach; ocean front. Rooms were up to date; not modern but nice and clean. grounds were neat and well taken care of as was lobby area and restaurants. staff were very pleasant and outgoing; easy to talk with and always saying hello and trying to assist.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Unforgettable beaches!!!

We have visited Iberostar Ensanachos at the beginning of July and liked it so much that have decided to return for another week the same summer, at the end of August. It’s also been our first vacation in Cuba, and, we loved it. First and foremost, the white-sand beaches and clear blue waters of the ocean are truly amazing. For ocean lovers, there’s snorkeling, catamaran, surfing, and water bikes available, provided by the resort at no cost (of course, gratuity is very much appreciated) An [... read more]d, the beaches offer white sand and are both spacious and long for the enthusiasts of long walks on the beach. The rooms are very clean, some are bigger than others. They are also cleaned in a timely manner. In addition, one building was being refurbished, another in the final stages of construction. The food - despite all we’ve heard about Cuba - was amazing in the buffet. There was always plenty of food for all meals; for lunch and dinners there were three types of meat grilled according to each customer’s wish as well as three types of fish - which we’ve absolutely loved. There was salmon, snapper, mahi- mahi and every other day shrimp, squid, and even lobster. The restaurants on the beach served food for lunch as well. We only went to one a la carte restaurant - we’ve enjoyed the selection of buffet more. We liked the food so much that my husband gained weight this time - and this has never happened to him on many trips we’ve taken thus far. Other amenities at the resort were good. The pool was good and quite spacious, and, never really busy, We’ve played tennis and my son even took tennis lessons with Reno - a professional tennis player. And, the service was great - everywhere- buffet restaurant, pool bar, beach bar, beach restaurants. Whether we’ve given a tip or not, we felt we’ve been treated the same. Jorgio (sic?) at the piano bar was very nice and funny, Osniel and Vangie at the buffet were the best waiters ever. And drinks - very generous - at all bars. Finally, we felt very safe at all times, And that was of utmost importance to us and our children. I would definitely recommend this resort to everyone! Just remember, you’re on vacation, there’s no rush!!

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Truly Grand

This was our 4th time visiting the grand, and once again it did not disappoint. The food, drinks, grounds, rooms and especially staff/people are absolutely amazing. I would give it 10 stars if possible. You are treated like royalty!!! We will be back for a fifth time for sure!

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Amazing resort

The resort was gorgeous! Room very clean as well as the rest of the spaces. The views of the ocean, just as they appear on their site. Great ambience and food for the most part, although their a la carte restaurants sometimes missed the mark.

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Blissfull trip

My boyfriend and I took a holiday to Iberostar this September. I don't think words can describe how perfect our vacation was. From booking the flight, to going and coming home every single part was smooth. Nothing about the people or the place deserves a bad review. I suggest booking with Marlena Bielak. She made the process easier than expected. The food was amazing, the staff was accommodating and fun. This trip was worth every penny. The price is well worth it for the vacation you will have.

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Excellent resort r

Rooms are excellent, the beach is beautiful, service at the Bars is excellent Dinner at the restaurant on the beach with reservation was not good and very slow Booking tours and excursions was good Service in the other restaurants was very good Shows and entertainment very good

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Great resort

I loved the pools all separate children’s pool and sport pool and bar pool Great trip my son and daughter took to Dolphin and boat trip Joyce was great from the hotel who sold trip to us She even checked on me when they went on trip to see if I needed anything The food was fine and the ladies cleaned our room were great and the waitresses were great very helpful Peter and Entertainment group were great The ocean was great All round great vacation

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Wonderful Resort

The service was great, food was not the best, but we had variety of choices, people were amazing and for sure, the beach - heaven :-) The only problem was the internet, when I bought the package, it was not specify that we have to buy internet card. It was not a big deal for me, at least, this keep the kids on outdoor activities. But it will be good to know before.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Iberostar Playa Mita (Riviera Nayarit)

Stayed at the Iberostar in Sept.2018. Grounds: excellent Service: excellent Food: buffet was great A la carte restaurants: Japanese was so so, French was great, Mexican was so so, did not try the steakhouse. Room: clean, spacious, good storage, good view of the ocean in the prestige section.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Amazing Resort, Definitely Revisiting!!

I came to this resort with my partner for a wedding. It did not disappoint. The food selection was amazing, I love my cheese and cured meat! Beware it is Cuba so you may get sick, I know some of my friends did. Avoid cut up fruit, the pasta bar is your best friend. The Japanese a la carte was the best one. The pool bar was my favourite hang out spot. The only issue I had was during checkin they did not have any rooms with a King size bed available but we got to switch rooms after the second nigh [... read more]t. The staff were so friendly, make sure you tip them! I will definitely be coming back.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Relaxing time , Great resort

My husband and I stayed at this resort for one week August 17-24. Very hot and extremely humid but the ac in our room worked well so did the fan so no complaints in that regard. Our room was very clean and well maintained throughout our stay. Having stayed in Cuba and Punta Cana several times I would say this was the cleanest, however I found the service underwhelming. Polite but not engaged. The exception was Mara at the concierge desk. Food well I didn’t get sick, and I enjoyed my me [... read more]als. Ate at the buffets, very basic but good enough. Drinks ,well drinks are always hit or miss at any inclusive I have been to. That’s why you have to really enjoy when you get one that is great because you may never ever have it again lol . Sometimes the drinks were watered down sometimes much too strong but eventually I always went back to the mojitoes. So refreshing so minty unlike Cuba I didn’t notice any bar that I went to out of anything that I wanted. The seaweed was a non issue for us it was cleaned daily and we were able to swim whenever we wanted. So many fish when swimming in the ocean . Sometimes schools of them would be around. Harmless and so beautiful. If you took bread in with you they would surround you. The nightly shows, yikes and yikes again. We went to the shows but if the entertainment team wasn’t trying so hard we would have left like many others did. But hey they had table service and popcorn so I had to drink somewhere lol why not there. The magic show was good Mexican folklore was good as well. all others well let’s just say the mojitoes really helped me enjoy the show lol . Hardly any mosquitoes but bring Bug spray as they did get worse asthe week wore on. No ac in the buffets or lobby but I am not going to a tropical place and complain about the heat. Lol I knew about the lack of ac before I booked but if staying cool is important to you all the time this is not the resort for you. The pool is huge, loved it. There is a place for everyone. We went to the disco that was air conditioned and it was fun it gives you something to do after 11pm 30 minutes from the airport but we only had one other couple in our shuttle.

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Not as good as 2017

We just came back Sept 1st stayed for 1 week. We were returned customers went last year around same time. This time we are disappointed with the stay. Hotel overall : we booked for Ocean view room we were given level 2 ocean view..half ocean and half building view. We were given bungalow 2 level 2. Last year we stayed at bungalow 14 level ocean view overlooking the ocean..it was perfect and beautiful . Cleanliness of the room was good..it was well kept clean. We travelled with our son and we wer [... read more]e given only 2 pillows instead of 3. Buffet food: very disappointed ..no lobster or shrimp this year compared to last year. Selections of food has decreased. Too many flies flying around due to they had the door open . Not too happy with the flies..and saw tiny crocroaches crawling around bread section. Ala cart - Mediterranean very very bad .. ordered shrimp pasta..shrimp was okay but pasta we're too soggy and tasteless. Don't bother going to Mediterranean ala cart. Ocean swim was great..saw alot of fishes, star fishes, sea urchin and sea cucumbers. Enjoy swimming with the fishes. Bring goggles a d snorkel set to enjoy . Also bring water shoe.. this will prevent stepping on tiny rocks and you will be able to walk to Pillar beach. Overall we don't think we will go back to this resort.. their standard has gone down compared to 2017.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Nice beach and staff, but room ?

Grounds were gorious, beach clean and clear, lobby very nice, staff great, food ok ,but rooms smell musty ,tryed three diffrent ones all the same expect the ones facing the streets which I did not pay to view, so we stuck it with bitterness.

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Nice Resort & Clean

I new the grounds would be well kept and up to Iberostar standards. The location was beautiful and the water was like stepping into a lagoon. It is not your typical beach front property so I missed being able to walk along the beach shore. I was disappointed in the availability of standard items (towels in the room, no tissues, asking numerous times for an extra pillow, or just getting the room cleaned on a daily basis). I believe having more staff in the buffet dining area serving at the gr [... read more]ills would cut down on extremely long wait times of 20 minutes or more to get an omellete or grilled chicken/steak/pork etc. at meal time. The resort could do with another bar area and more servers at the bar. The small bar space in the lobby was always very congested with few people behind the bar serving. Also, most of the staff were very young and inexperienced with hospitality. They spoke very little English which was frustrating especially when a good portion of their clientele are English speaking visitors. While I am not a picky person and enjoyed our stay, I felt frustrated with the mentioned deficiencies. I have been to other Iberostars in Cuba and Jamaica in the past so I expected better from this holiday experience. I would not go back to that Iberostar location but would try another Iberostar.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Good time

The cleanliness, food and service was outstanding. People were very friendly. The elevators and rooms need upgrading. I didn't get Wi-Fi in my room the whole day on the second last day. Pool is beautiful but too deep. Me and my family can't swim and my mother had a scary drowning incident in the poll and THANK God I was there. The life guards were sitting but no one seemed to notice. I wouldn't go back to this resort as we would need a pool with a shallow area.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: A great time

The hotel was great. The food, service, cleanliness and variety of restaurants were amazing. Elevators and rooms need upgrading but we're clean. It is a beautiful resort. The pool water was one level and too deep for myself and my daughter. We don't know how to swim and we would have loved a shallow end. I had a near drowning experience in the pool in which no life guards were attentive too and thank God my daughter was there. I wouldn't go back to this resort as I would need a pool that has a  [... read more]shallow area.

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Beautiful Resort

We spent a week in late August in this resort. It's a very good size, not so huge that you need to walk 5-10 min to get from your room to the pools and not so small and cramped. Everything is very accessible. Staff are extremely friendly and professional. Food at the buffet restaurant is very good but can be a little more flavorful. They are constantly cleaning and maintaining the resort. Beach is very close and no shortage of chairs. There are some pool activities everyday. Public transportatio [... read more]n(bus) stops in front of the resort and takes you to the shopping center in 10-15 min. fare is $1.00 US. If you have Mexican Pesos is less. Buses are very frequent and safe. I recommend you to go to the mall in evening because it's an outdoor center and gets really hot in day time. They are open till 10:00 PM.All and all, I highly recommend this resort.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Amazing Resort!

My sister and I came to this resort for a mini getaway and absolutely loved it! The staff was friendly, engaging, entertaining and fun! Our room was in great condition, was spacious, and had a view of both the pool and the ocean. On top of that, we can't stop talking about the food! No matter what time of day or meal, the food was flavourful, eclectic, and bountiful. The infinity pool gave an extra touch to an already amazing experience. Having such an easy view of the ocean even when on the res [... read more]ort made it all the more memorable. Would highly recommend this resort to both families and couples! You won't regret your stay!!

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Fun Resort

The Bella Vista is a large hotel, but it is well planned. Our room was spacious and clean and the bathroom was large with a roomy shower. We had splurged on a "swim-out" room, which was well worth the extra expense. The lobby and grounds are breezy and lovely and well-kept. The beach is very close and beautiful. Although we weren't travelling with children, their area looked fun, too. We had access to the top floor for dining, and the view was breathtaking.
