Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great family vacation

We had a wonderful time with our family of 5. Our children are young adults and enjoyed the resort as much as we did. There were many activities for them and the food was excellent, many choices at the buffet, so it never got boring. Only improvement suggestions: Better labeling of the food, so you know what you are eating/ wish to try. And please get some real butter, not ultra pasteurized. A la carte provided a change of scenery and was nice, we enjoyed the Japanese restaurant, because of the  [... read more]entertainment and liked the steak house. My husband was very late for dinner that day, and was not accommodated by the restaurant. It was a little disappointing, because the restaurants very never packed. It would not have taken much to fry up a steak. So he had to eat appetizers and dessert. We have nothing to compare our stay to, because this was our first time in Mexico and our first time at a resort. Rooms were clean and comfortable, grounds were kept meticulously and had some native wildlife, which was quite magical. Did not see any bugs the whole week.I loved the open air concept of the lobby, and restaurants, and it was always comfortable, never needed a sweater. I am not sure how hot it would get in the summer, though. The beach was beautiful and we enjoyed it every day. I loved that there was shade provided at the beach. It was sometimes hard to get a chair, because people reserve chairs for the whole day, which is not allowed. The hotel could do a better job encouraging people not to be chair hoggers. The pool was big and kids enjoyed it, but extremely slippery tiles around the pool, and everywhere (if the floors get wet through rain). The whole resort seemed a bit big, but my kids said that way there were more people to get activities going. One thing I did not enjoy was the pushy way time share meetings were marketed to us right away, before we even got our room. Scrap that! I can do without that as a welcome! The shopping centre is for the most part totally overpriced. No idea who goes shopping there, but I guess if you forgot something it is handy to have. It is a nice place to have coffee or enjoy a taco, and see the Mayan cultural performance. We had to visit the clinic twice and got good service both times. Overall we had an amazing time and would love to go back!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Iberostar Lindo - Great Resort

Iberostar Lindo is an excellent resort. Grounds are well maintained, staff are friendly and helpful, a choice of pools, entertainment and restaurants. Management and staff go out of their way to ensure guests have an excellent vacation. This was our 6th trip to the Lindo and will likely go again. Our only complaint was the return shuttle from the hotel to Cancun airport was organized by Sunquest. The shuttle van was too small for the number of people being transported and I felt the travel [... read more] conditions were not safe. Other than this one small drawback the holiday was perfect.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Amazing Resort

We were very impressed with the resort. It was very clean & well maintained. The grounds were beautiful & the beaches clean. The staff was wonderful and very accommodating. We are considering returning to the same location.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Great pre-Christmas vacation

The resort was very well laid out...beautiful resort with everything easily accessible. The pools were all great, as was the beach. Our bedroom was nice and big, although the bed was very uncomfortable and not good for my back. The food was very average, but the staff was excellent.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Ok Resort

Hotel grounds were nice. Only complaint was that the ventilation system was on a motion sensor so that when you left the room the a/c turned off. This would result in your clothes and your bedding became damp because of the humidity. Food was ok.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Excellent Time!

The staff were friendly and very attentive. Grounds were well kept, and cleanliness was excellent! Food was good not amazing, it would be nice to see bottled water being used at all times, I didn't notice it in use at the buffet as they were filling jugs from the water in the soda machine. Beach would be a little small for the resort at full capacity. I would definitely go back again.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Highly recommend!!

From the General manager to the cleaning staff everyone was helpful and courteous. Maid service was supreme. Excellent food at all venues and the bar service was one of the best I have experienced in my travels. The grounds were kept clean and the beach area raked of seaweed. If you are planning to take a family vacation I would highly recommend this resort. Brad Davidson

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Loved it!

I was very impressed with this hotel. The hotel foyer was very open and had very comfortable and clean furniture. The grounds were well kept, and the beach is very close to the hotel The dining was excellent, with a main buffet area, three themed restaurants, and a 24 hour snack bar. The bars are well situated and well stocked. All hotel staff were very friendly. The rooms were very comfortable and stylish.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Nice resort

We stayed at Iberostar Play Mita for 10 days in December. The resort was all decorated for Christmas which was nice because you kind of forget it is that time of year when you are enjoying the sun and sand. We found the resort to be very easy to get around it is not a big resort at all. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and nice. I would rate this resort as a 4 star. This resort is great for families and the kids that were in the day camp certainly seemed to enjoy themse [... read more]lves.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Simply Amazing!

In December 5 of us girlfriends went to Iberostar Paraiso Beach and all of us were amazed at the service we received!! Everyone was happy to help us out and we felt so welcomed. The entertainment was AWESOME, from shows every night to activities on the beach and at the pool. We had SO much fun :) Would highly recommend this to anyone!

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Lovely resort

Overall, I thought this hotel was such great value for the cost. The checkin was quick and very friendly, we were upgraded, I presume, based on some hotel vacancy. Our room was so spacious, open and airy, had all the room amenities and comforts, better than I expected. We also had a good view of the ocean and resort grounds. The resort had much foliage even after the hurricane, you didn’t see any damage or much loss. The beach was lacking some sand in areas but there was still some good sandy  [... read more]parts especially walking towards playa pilar beach; the walk there was beautiful. The food was better than expected, it was a bit repetitive and limited but at least we had the a la carte dinner options. We had many delicious drinks and cocktails options including prosecco, Spanish coffee was delicious! The main highlights of the resort were friendly service and positive, welcoming attitude of the Cubans/staff, nicest people! And the other highlight was the entertainment; the horror and pool shows were amazing-5star entertainment!! I would return and recommend this hotel to anyone.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Average good

This is not a 4 star resort I would rate it a 3 1/2 the staff is what makes it .THe pool is always cold and there is no premium liquor except for vodka. Don't bump up your room or service as it is not worth it we had both types and there was not much difference. If you get it really cheap then go but there are better resorts

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Will go back!

Stayed Dec 4 to 11, 2017. Very clean resort. Courteous, friendly and helpful staff. Japanese restaurant was amazing! Loads of shade and never a problem finding a lounger by the pool or at the beach. Have been to many resorts, this is the first one we said we would return to...we like different places but this one was great.

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: The best of the best !

Just come back from our 8th visit in 10 years. It confirms of how we appreciate this hotel ! Wonderful grounds, staff, food, rooms and amenities. Great place for those who look for luxury in a relaxing place.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Amazing family resort!!

Went for 8 days beginning of December, had a great time! We had a 4 year old and a baby and all had plenty to do and eat. The Food: was fantastic, we stuck to the buffet and beach restaurants and didn't want to make any dinner reservations. Had plenty to eat, from seafood to stews to pizzas and vegetables. Nothing looked stale. There were never line ups either. The room: we had a king bed and a sofabed for our kid. They offered us a crib for the baby but we had brought our own. We recom [... read more]mend room 4053 in building 4. It was quiet at night away from the hustle and bustle as well as close to the beach. Daily cleaning was thorough and left us plenty of water bottles and towels and beautiful decorations on the bed. It had a sunk in bathtub. Lovely decor and modern washroom. The pools: are large, never felt over crowded. People seem to wake up early and reserve seats at the beach and pool but it wasn't the fault of the resort. It was tough to find seats in the shade after 10 am. They have a shallow kids pool too which was nice. For kids: The kids club ladies are sweet. The playground and toys are a bit run down but the ladies working there try to make up for it with activities and singing and face painting. The same ladies also run the evening kids entertainment which is 8 pm to 9pm. That was my daughters highlight of the day! She loved the dancing and singing and they even brought out bouncy castle on some nights. We found out halfway through our trip from one of the employees that we can actually visit the neighbouring resort that had a huge beautiful watwr park for kids! It was a 5 min walk from building 4 and you'd have to cut through past the street with all the markets. There is so much water splashing and a giant bucket dumping water that your kid will definitely need to be comfortable with water. My year old was too scared but I can see her going in 2 years down the road :) Night entertainment (for adults): it was fun. Entertaining and on some nights really funny. They did couples contests that were definitely not appropriate for kids. Daytime entertainment: we didn't partake as much as I'd liked because we had to stay with the kids, but when we did get away we joined the dancing lessons and pool exercises and bingo. The entertainment team is fantastic, very joyful to be around. Front desk: no issues checking in. We were aware that check in is at 3 pm and we arrived at 1, but they were kind and accommodating in finding us rooms that suited what we needed. They gave us bracelets, sent us for lunch and kept our luggage, and when we got back our room was ready by 2pm :) Beach: sand was amazing. Water was warm. It was never clear or calm but it was fun to swim in. No seashells anywhere though :( just smooth sand everywhere. Again you'll have to get up early as people seem to reserve seats. The resort clearly has signs telling not to do that but people do anyway. The occasional person comes by to sell an excursion but they are very nice and respectful and appreciate your respect back when declining. Accessibility: we were amazed with the accessibility of this resort! We were able to push the stroller everywhere! There are ramps everywhere there were stairs. Even on the beach! They have a boardwalk that takes you through to the umbrellas and chairs half the way down the sand. Staff: all were super friendly whether you tipped or not. Tips are appreciated but not mandatory For families? Absolutely, there are kids EVERYWHERE and the resort is accepting of loud laughter and play. For couples? no way... they'd be annoyed at how loud and active kids get, it's definitely a family resort and that's why we loved it! Make sure you visit the pond with the flamingos close to the entertainment stage, they are lovely :)

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Memories to last a lifetime!

Thank you Iberostar Paraiso Beach for making our vacation for our group of 8 so amazing. The beach and ocean was so beautiful and clean. The pool, bars and food was excellent. Not a complaint to be made, the food selection and quality exceeded my expectation. Japanese A la carte restaurant was rated the best by our group. Shout out to Lilliane and Luis from the entertainment staff. We miss your smile Lilly. The grounds are lush, full of wildlife. Won't be forgetting the coons by the beach gri [... read more]ll- they definetly bring some humour in our day. ( they don't lie when they tell you not to feed them, haha). Only two recommendations during our stay: could use more trolley service ( I enjoyed the walking this time as we didn't have our younger kids with us) and more music for all pool bars.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Beautiful resort

Nice location. Staff from check in to check out go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Lots of selection for dining and always lots to eat and drink. The ocean is sometimes very rough but the waves are awesome.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: Great resort!

We recently visited Iberostar Varadero in Cuba, where we are return customers. It was sad to see a lot of the trees and green areas damaged by the hurricane, not just at the resort but all over. The resort itself has been rebuilt and repaired and you would not otherwise be able to tell they experienced the hurricane. It was not the best weather this time around (cold front came in the week we were there), but the staff were wonderful and we still had a great time. Service is excellent. People ar [... read more]e friendly and helpful. Resort and rooms are kept up in very good condition. The buffet is excellent and we are there most days. I'm not personally a fan of the themed restaurants, as I've found they miss the mark in terms of the cuisine. We also travel with children, so the buffet is just easier. The pool was cold due to the weather, but the entertainment staff were great in engaging the guests and keeping things fun and upbeat. The beach is kept up well, and there are lifeguards on duty. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Excellent Vacation Location

The hotel is well maintained and offers excellent adult only facilities for the perfect vacation. The highlight is the staff and if you get a room with a butler that is even better. They look after all your needs. We had 2 and a half days of rainy weather which topped off our week but still it was good. The restaurants are also worth visiting and offer great a-la-carte meals.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Very Good Resort

Grounds are beautiful Food and drink are plenty. Rooms comfortable with very nice balconies to view pool, garden or beach Animation team excellent Service very good - they aim to please. Market/store on site very reasonable as compared to buying merchandise at airport Location close to airport - short shuttle ride to resort
