Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Beautiful Resort

The amenities in the resort were 5 star. I had hot water. The room was excellent and we received toilet paper, towels and water daily. I got turned around on my first night and ended up at the resort next door and Dariel Gonzalez came to my rescue and helped me find my room. It was truly a wonderful resort and I would highly recommend it Cathy wheaton

I was very pleased with the resort, I had a great experience starting at the check in at the Lobby Jose Sarduy was very helpful changing our hotel to the ground floor with no complaints about the room just easier with my friends bad foot to do all the stairs. The security was great on the beach and all the staff were very friendly. Buffet servers were very accomodating and housekeeping was excellent.

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Pleasently surprised

The food was actually great tasting and had variety. The service workers were wonderful Jose at front desk, Karel in the sports bar, Elaina in the buffet. They were usually low on toilet paper but we had just enough.

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: The perfect vacation spot

We stayed on the coral side. It was perfect! The people working were the best ! Everyone was so helpful and happy. We had everything we needed in our rooms and they were cleaned to perfection everyday. The buffet was the best I’ve had in Cuba and the snack bar was an extra bonus! We spent many afternoons at the snack bar and were pleasantly surprised with the food options and drinks. The beach was amazing! Lots of chairs and shade if needed.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Great visit

Many evening restaurant options. Buffet had an assortment of foods. Really enjoyed the Greek restaurant. Lots of shops available. great 2 double bed room and sister stayed in a king room - both with terraces. Walk in shower amazing. Lots of water play options for my kid however lazy river needs more jets to keep flow. Wish there were snacks in the room and wished for evening swimming

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Amazing vacation

My stay at your resort was wonderful… the grounds were beautiful, the beach and ocean are what I will miss the most … my grandsons wedding was beautifully handled by your staff… the food at your buffet was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive.. the restaurants were all very good except I was disappointed in the food at the French restaurant… not at all what I expected … the Japanese was superb with very talented chefs .. The rooms were a bit dated but very comfortable and the cleaning [... read more] was excellent … the bathrooms need some work … our stopper would either get stuck down or not go down at all making bathing difficult … and our safe didn’t work at all Overall though again I had an incredible vacation and would certainly stay at your resort again..

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Iberostar Dominicana

It was a very good hotel. They have excellent Food. Buffet had great selection. Service is great. Our major complain is the beach and the pools. There were so much seaweed that you can't swim. It looks nasty. I got rashes afterwards. We had to walk a kilometer away to find a nicer beach area. The pools are not well maintained. There were some ducks on the pool the first day we got there. I kept telling the staff there to clean the pool where the ducks are since it has something fo [... read more]amy floating around and leaves from the surrounding trees. After 4 days, the other pool was closed due to bacteria. The water looks like there are algae in the pool. We didn't use the pool anymore. It was still closed when we left. The tennis and pickleball courts are good. Easy to book and the court takes provides an excellent service. Unfortunately, around the same time when the pool got closed, they had a sewage issue beside the courts so the smell was so disgusting. We couldn't play for a couple of days until the issue was resolved.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Worth your money

The resort is amazing. Very beautiful landscaping. Great rooms, cleanand spacious. I love the tennis court and pickleball court The gym is great. Food is awesome, although some dishes were quite salty. Negative is, pool is dirty, can be improved,

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Great Resort

Hotel: Amazing Staff: Amazing Housekeeping: Amazing Pool: good vibes, guitar singer was very talented, towel games were a little annoying, as some guests took pool chairs along with cabanas Food: Above Average, the buffet is always a good bet for breakfast and lunch, gala night was a favourite Restaurants: Average Room Service: average, slow to receive food, 45 min + Golf: above par, very nice rental clubs Bar / Lounge: amazing and always had the Stanley Cup Playoffs on, bingo and kara [... read more]oke were fun. Overall I feel the price point is slightly high, would stay there again without hesitation.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Trip was ruined by the weather - very strong wind

Visited Iberostar Origin Daiquiri April 16-23. BEACH: 1. Weather was sunny, the water was warm, but due to extremely strong wind (up to 40-50 km/hour) we felt cold on the beach and in the water. Heaven for kite surfers, but we did not enjoy our time on the beach. 2. There were NO water sports available, neither catamaran trip to coral reefs, due to the wind 3. NO corals for snorkeling from the beach, despite some comments 4. White sand in the water was only 10 meters wide with the grass fur [... read more]ther on. Not pleasant for your feet. It was a nicer beach about 2 km to the left at Sol Cayo Guillermo hotel RESORT PROS: 1. Small size of the resort, everything is close, many trails to the beach with showers on each 2. Tasty food: meat, chicken, turkey, fish, cheese 3. Comfortable rooms, nice balconies, quite air conditioning 4. Comfortable mattress and pillows 5. Good espresso 6. No mosquitoes (I guess, due to the wind) 7. No power outages RESORT CONTRAS: 1. Looks like the management is bad. 4 stars? REALLY? Nobody met us when we exited the bus. No welcome drinks as well. No bellboy/carts, we had to carry luggage ourselves. At least the receptionist described where our building is. No printed maps of the resort were given. 2. No soft drinks/beer in the fridge. 3. NO 110v outlet in the bathroom! We payed $20 a week for antique transformer for our water pick flosser 4. No normal milk, only milk powder. Cappuccino was awful. 5. Limited glass in the main bar. Coffee from the paper cups had a cardboard taste. Paper cups were not the quality of Tim Horton’s ones 6. Poor variety of spirits in the main bar. Better bottles (on the left, and on the right) for sale only. One evening (8 pm) they even run out of ANY cuban rum 7. No plates for the soup. Used paper cups 8. Ping pong set is garbage, especially rackets 9. Never seen a cigar bar open. 10. Music at the pool was very loud. In the lobby in the evening way TOO LOUD. People can not talk to one another. 11. Water with some kind of colour was displayed under the name of “juce” 12. La Marina restaurant was closed for renovation 13. Internet connections are getting lost often. Sometimes you need to go to the front desk, and complain, and they do something on the computer (my guess is to disconnect the other user) to let you in. 14. I don’t think they ever swept the floor in our room.

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Great service and food !

We booked for a week at the Coral side. I recommend Coral to selection side if you are not going with kids.. Excellent service, great food (which was a surprise for Cuba), drinks and very good arrangements for evening entertainment! Rooms were nice and clean with ample bottled water available all around the resort. The only thing lingering not so nice in my mind is that while booking we were shown that we would be eligible for room upgrade subject to availability at the time of check in.. Howev [... read more]er, when we told them at the check in counter of the resort they had no idea and neither checked anything to. As if no communication. It would be even better with a better room Neverthrless, we got a very good deal and had a great time. Would recommend and if you book the Coral side you can roam around and enjoy the selection side as and when you want which was an added bonus Recommended

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Amazing resort!!!!!

The place was beautiful, all the staff was amazing, the room was always cleaned so nicely, food was good, the beach was stunning. All the staff had a smile on there face and was happy to serve you, extra thank you to josé Luis and daykel Headley for making my stay so much better, the drinks were made to perfection

Hotel Bella Costa: Amazing 2 week stay

We can not find anything wrong with this resort as it was our 19th time going there. They have made it more accessible for people with disabilities. I really hope they make some of the rooms as in bathrooms more accessible for disability people example walk in showers. We took my shower stool with us and it worked. I know people say there is no food in Cuba well we totally disagree with that statement. There is so much great food you can’t go hungry or if you do you are too fussy. Can’t wait f [... read more]or next year.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Catfished by Sunwing

What a dump! The place is falling apart right before your eyes. Every single night that my son and I were there, the a la carte restaurants were “fully booked”. During Easter long weekend when the price to travel was $1500 each per person, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THIS RESORT THAT WAS BARELY AT CAPACITY COULD ACCOMMODATE US ON AT LEAST ONNNNNNNE OF OUR NIGHTS WITH A PROPER MEAL!!! NOPE!!! I’m not kidding when I say I starved while we were there. My son was ok with the buffet because he’s only little [... read more]. Hey, at least I’m skinny again! (Not even laughing or joking). What a disaster! Avoid avoid avoid! Go to Holguin or Cayo Coco if you’re desperate for Cuba. Everything about this trip sucked. NOBODY was having a good time. Not even the drunk man who walked through poo water in the leaky washroom then walked right through the kiddie pool! That guy was so unhappy! Ha!

Iberostar Coral Ensenachos: Another awesome stay at the Coral Ensenachos

Our third consecutive year staying two weeks at the Coral. As expected the facilities are a little dated, but they are well maintained and very clean. The beach is spectacular and with the added shade, there is no issues with reserving beach chairs or needed to be there early. The staff are amazing, remembering your preferences and happy to say hi and ensure that you enjoying your stay. The food has always been good, however this year it was even better (hint: the muscles in tomato sauce, wit [... read more]h fresh bread is an excellent lunch). The resort is pretty quiet and there are a lot of returning guests, it’s becoming our Cubian spring home.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Fantastic. Exceeded expectations

Having being in Cuba a number of times this was our best experience so far. The qaintness of this resort means everything was minutes away. Beach room and food. The pool is probably a bit small if it was full. Beach is great and short walk to really shallow and sandy spot. Lots of kite boarders on right beach provided entertainment. Fresh fish cooked at meals. Simple food but fresh and delicious. Great value vacation.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: 3.5 Star at best…,

Disappointed with this resort. Food was boring and pretty much the same every day at the buffet… the a la cartes take food from the buffet.. then try and sell you over priced bottles of wine… when we declined and just asked for house wine at 2 of the a la cartes we were not served any wine at all..customer service depended on how much you tipped…pool was disgusting between the hair and bird poop…we will not be going back unfortunately..:

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Amazing Resort

Best experience in this hotel, beach, staff, exelent food as well,best beach , big complain on Sunwing Flight, always delay, broken languages, no one is carrie responsibility of delay both ways, will never go with Sunwing Flight again and highly Recommend everyone don't take Sunwing Company for flight anywhere, Horible Company, . Cuba best vacation. We will go back next year same Hotel but never using Sunwing again.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Amazing resort, highly recommended

We like resort beaches, rooms , dining, cleanness, food, very friendly staff. ============================================================ We enjoyed our stay, would definitely recommend this resort.

Iberostar Coral Holguin: Third visit to Iberostar Coral Holquin

As a solo traveler this resort is a home away from home. The resort is beautiful, clean, comfortable and important to me, safe and welcoming. The staff are kind, caring and welcome you as family, you are family. There are fun events to attend, great excursions and activities at the pool. Speaking of the pool...it is the best, add in Carlos and there is nothing better. The butler staff would put the finest in the world to shame. I will go back every chance I get!!!!!
