Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Fantastic staff

My boyfriend and I stayed from the 3rd to the 10th of April. From the front desk to checking out the experience over all was fantastic.

I would love to go back to this resort mostly due to the amazing staff! We never wanted to leave! Thank you to everyone at Laguna Azul!!

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: i loved it

there really isn't anything negative. The food, people and rooms were great. The pools and everything were in close walking distance and since I have a lot of pain with walking it was perfect. Everyone was helpful and the a la carte meals were unreal. my favourite was the Japanese. I would recommend this resort and would one day return. Oh ya and the beach was just amazing.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Another Great Vacay!

This was my second stay at the Iberostar. I was there 4 years ago, this time I decided to take my kids. When we checked in there was a mix up with the rooms, but they accommodated us fast and upgraded us to a poolside view. The staff were friendly and the food was as good as I remember. Everything was extremely clean and the bar and buffet/dining staff were prompt. The entertainment staff worked really hard, but I didn't find there were as many of them around this time. The one that truly stands [... read more] out was "skinny". He was hilarious and very friendly!!! I would definitely recommend this hotel, and I am looking forward to returning again soon.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Amazing resort

We went for the second time to paraiso lindo and enjoyed it as much as the first time. Employees went out of their way to make us feel pampered and meet our wishes. Resort is clean, food is good and the snack bar at the beach came in handy when we didn't want to go up to the restaurants to eat. Ice cream is always available around the resort. It's a beautiful resort overall and would definitely go back there.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Good Resort

Spent a week at Iberostar Costa Dorada in Puerta Plata April 2 to April 9 2017. Very good value for the money and the food was excellent, especially on Tuesday the Italian sea food paella they did on the beach. I won’t go into great details as I’ll only end up rehashing the many positive reviews, so I’m just going to do point form pros and cons. Pros: • As mentioned food was excellent, at the buffet, pool bar, Brazilian and Japanese la cartes. They make a fried chicken that would ri [... read more]val anything here, very moist and not greasy. • People very nice and always had a smile, they work very hard but will help you out whether you tip them or not. For example the knob for our air conditioner in our room broke; we didn’t bother telling anyone as the air conditioner was still working. That afternoon when we got back to our room a maintenance guy was there to replace the knob. The maid must of saw this and got it replaced for us without our asking, now this is service!!! • Favourite person was Yaya at the lobby bar, every morning I was there at 9:00 when it opened to get my cappuccino. After the second day I no longer had to order it as she would see me and start my coffee. • Room very clean but as mentioned by others dated and in need of a fresh coat of paint. • Pool area was nice and clean with lots of tree and shrubs, pool guys where there everyday cleaning, water nice and clear. Lots of pool chairs only issue was the ones in the shade they went very quickly. The towel game is alive and well here. Cons: • Mexican la carte restaurant was just awful, wouldn’t bother reserving this one. • Iberostar has this premiere program that they want you to sit down with them for 90 minutes, idea is for you to avoid the travel agents and go directly through them, blah, blah, blah. We were only there for a week so you can be sure I’m not wasting my time on this. When they see you aren’t interested they try harder to get you to listen to them, telling you they just started the job and needed you at attend so they don’t get fired. Anyway we found this annoying. • Beach, not really the hotels fault but Puerta Plata is known for windy beaches, the problem with this is the ocean is always churned up and not nice and clear (at least when we were there) the water looks dirty and when you go in it you come out with sand all over you (and sand in places it should not be). Also sitting on the beach is like being sand blasted due to the wind, not fun. All in all it was a nice vacation and good values for the money we spent, but I think next time we’ll go to Punta Cana.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: GREAT RESORT

The resort was the best one we have ever been to. Service was amazing as was the top shelf drinks. The food was good as well and the fitness club was amazing. Many different exercise times and routines available most of the day.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Great vacation

The staff and service were excellent. Food was very good. The pools beach and the gardens were beautiful. Some areas of the resort could use some updating, furniture and carpeting worn out. Concierge was applying pressure for me to attend a special breakfast where I assumed some sort of sale was going to be promoted. First day we arrived we received at least 6 phone calls asking how things were going from butler and guest services. Totally not necessary, went on vacation to get away from phone [... read more] calls.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Amazing Resort

What a beautiful resort . Rooms were spacious! Grounds were lush! Beach was amazing . The food was delicious , from the a la carts to the Buffett . It never felt crowded ! The staff so very helpful . My favourite resort so far

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: great time at the Grand in DR

We loved this resort. It is beautiful. Not far from the airport is a bonus. The lovely back porch is a great place to sit outside in the evening, although I thought the entertainment was very limited. A very quiet resort. Five a la carte restaurants were good to excellent. The beach is stunningly beautiful. Great pools too. The liquors are all top shelf. Rooms were fine, and well stocked. I didn't care much for the butlers, not too too helpful. -had to ask 3 times for things before th [... read more]ey were received. I booked my own dinner reservations from home prior to leaving and reaffirmed them one week prior. The grounds are lovely and a walk through the adjoining Iberostar resorts is a nice walk. A good place to relax and unwind for sure.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Very Good Resort!

Fourth (and fifth!) times our families visited Iberostar Ensenachos and again we had unforgettable vacation! Would like to express our deep gratitude to the Hotel's staff and administration for their great job! We will continue to advertise/recommend Iberostar Ensenachos to our friends, mates, colleagues...

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: We loved Playa Pilar!

I have only positive things to say about Playa Pilar. The design is very contemporary and clean, the staff are great, and the entertainment options are many. While there isn't a long sandy beach on the property, there's a beautiful beach only 5 minutes away. Having said that, I quite like the resort beach. The bar is fun and there are plenty of lounging opportunities in both the sun and the shade. Thanks to TripCentral's Karol for setting us up! Two thumbs up!

Hotel Mojito: Excellent

We had a wonderful stay, staff was very pleasant and always available, room was comfortable and well kept. Beach/pool was excellent !!!!!We will definitely be coming back for another visit hopefully next year.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Great Holiday

The resort was very well maintained. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable. Beach towels were in our room when we arrived but only able to exchange them about every second day - the laundry is done off site so they only have what they receive. Not a big deal for us! Bath towels came each day. Bar fridge was stocked every second day with beer, water and soft drinks. The food was good. We loved the grill at the beach - always something new from the barbeque each day! The restau [... read more]rants were good. We tried them all and were not disappointed. The drinks were great - premium liquor. All in all the Alameda was great value! We talked to many repeat guests. We would definitely go back!

Iberostar Origin Tainos: Great family vacation!

Traveled March 25 - April 2, 2017 with my 14 year old son. It is a beautiful resort. The staff are amazing, meals were fantastic and the beach is unbelievable. I can't wait to return with the rest of our family!

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Petit paradis, très beau!

Terrassement super beau et bien entretenu. Situé entre la piscine et la mer avec des prises de vue pittoresques. Service par excellence partout: autant dans les chambres, à la réception ou dans les restaurants. Nourriture excellente avec un très grand choix de repas. Les serveurs très gentils avec un service impeccable.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Another great stay

This was our second stay at the resort. Staff are always helpful and friendly. Ensenachos beach was spectacular, best beach I've seen so far. The buffet always has a wide selection and no issues booking a la carte restaurants. I really enjoyed the Mediterranean restaurant. I would definitely recommend this resort to others and most likely to return in the future.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Reliable Resort

This was my second time at the Iberostar Bavaro Resort. The resort is older but well maintained. Grounds are very clean, every day there are gardeners taking care of all the plants and flowers including orchids. Food is good and there is lots to choose from. Beach is fabulous best location in Punta Cana. Staff is very attentive and eager to please their guests. Will return again

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Great resort
