Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Really nice resort

Beautiful beach & people. Adult side was quiet and comfortable. Food and service were both good. Lobster was available for lunch and dinner. Rooms in the adult section were spacious and clean. Would definitely recommend this resort

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Great resort, super staff!

My wife and I really enjoyed the resort and newly extended beach. Weather was great, food not bad and water was all the shades of blue. Our recently renovated room and balcony faced the ocean even though it wasn't requested.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Amazing Resort

We were upgraded to the Grand Paraiso. This resort exceeded our expectation from the service of the hotel staff, to the amazing grounds which was very clean. The warm tropical weather was icing on the cake

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Wonderful Resort

Our rooms were 5052 and 5053 -- awesome room location near the pool -- very happy that the resort placed our family side by side (often those requests are made and not honored by resorts) -- The restaurants and buffets were excellent and we had wonderful service The flight was great as well -- no complaints about this trip!

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: So-so resort, but great staff

Got room #1032. There was no hot water when we checked in. I had to take a cold shower since I hopped in the shower and got myself wet already. After taking the cold shower, I told the reception about the problem. They said they'll send someone. We waited but no one came, so we went to eat since we were hungry. After dinner, they said they'll send someone in 20 minutes. They still didn't come. So the first night, we did not have hot water. They finally came to fix it next morning. Even then, the [... read more] water was not HOT. It was lukewarm. Also, the washroom and closet doors don't close completely. They are wooden doors, so they probably expanded due to the heat. The remote controller didn't work on the TV, and no power to the safe. The overall room looked old-fashion. But the staff was amazing! The awesome staff made up to our crappy room. We went in December, so the cost to stay at this resort was quite high. I know 4.5 star in Cuba is not 4.5 star, but I'd at least expect to have hot water. I didn't feel like I got what I paid for. However, we made the best of the trip and it was still fun.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Worse than what we expected

There was mold in the room and they cleaned it after 2 days. Also,our luggage was lost for 2 days.Aditionally, there was a very long line up at the buffet all the time. There was a shortage of tawels and we couldn't exchange them for 3 days.Finnaly,the intertainment was good and the staff was friendly.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Amazing Resort

We normally stay at smaller 3 star hotels but thought we'd give ourselves a treat and tried this upscale one. We were really impressed with the food in the buffet and the restaurants. The service was excellent and our room very spacious. While the hotel has over 500 rooms, these are spread out over a large area so you never felt like it was crowded. The beaches were well maintained and and had restaurants and bar service right there. Snorkeling was good in close. We met some super staff [... read more] who went out of their way to make us feel at home. The only downside was the 90 minute bus ride and the airport facilities at Santa Clara. The airport is too small for the number of travelers and needs an upgrade.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Brilliant!

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights from January 1st, 2017 and we had a superb time. We took the room on the ocean front which was just awesome. Waking to the sound of the ocean was just surreal. The room was better than expected. Extremely comfortable jumbo sized bed was an added bonus. Better than our own. Do yourself a favour and get the ocean front room. Breakfast buffet was excellent, vast array of food on offer to satisfy all wants. Evening meals were also very good however the entert [... read more]ainment in the evenings was a little dissappointing but not a detraction. Beautiful beach, warm water and fantastic snorkelling along a small reef just 30m off the beach to the right. Spectacular array of marine life without having to pay for a guided snorkelling tour. So cool. Beautiful pool area with infinity pools. We lived on the beach however. Super friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond for my wife's birthday. Very attentive but not over bearing. Late checkout until 3pm (complimentary) was great. We ended up paying $10 for an additional hour so we could leave the beach at 3.30pm, shower and meet the airport bus by 4.30pm. This place was so quiet (kid free) but still lots of fun if you want to engage in the activities during the day on the beach. We will be back. A great first experience of Jamaica.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: excellent holiday

It's a given that hotels in the warmer climates range from grubby to dirty and there will always be something that is broken. If you can accept this then you will have a wonderful holiday at this resort. The housekeeping staff was competent, the food was wonderful and plentiful and varied. The activities were enjoyable. The lobby bar was always active and full. We were a family of five, 3 adults and 2 kids in a family room. Everybody had a good time and ate too much.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Amazing resort!!!!!!

I stayed there from Dec 27th, 2016 to Jan 5th, 2017. Note that this was my first time in Cuba. Everything was amazing. Actually though. The food was incredible, the service was great! We did have an issue with having towels for the shower on occasion. And it happened a few times that we couldn't exchange the beach towels because they ran out of clean ones. I was however disappointed that the pools closed at 5.00 pm. That's really early to close a pool. Overall though, absolutely amazing. The  [... read more]location, the service, the appearance, the food. I have always heard bad things about Cuba, but this resort proved them wrong. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in visiting a resort in Cuba.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: awesome resort!

This resort was amazing. The grounds were very beautiful and maintained pristinely. ALL the washrooms in the resort were cleaned continuously and were never in a mess. Never out of paper and toilets always flushed, even the beach bathroom was kept well. Always loungers at the pool and beach. No saving of loungers at pool allowed before 9:00 am and security actually removes items unattended. Staff were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Our room was cleaned at least 3 times a day [... read more] so never out of clean towels and minibar always stocked. The only down thing was the time share promoters. 2 in our party of 6 felt that they were harassed by the timeshare workers and finally went to the front desk to get them to stop calling them.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Great place

It very clean and the food is amazing the staff makes you feel like family. The water pressure is not the best but it still good to have showers in. The beach is beautiful one of the nices I have ever seen. I hope to go back in a couple of year I love it there

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: simply fabulous!

We were a family of four adults and therefore booked two rooms, one with a king bed and one with two doubles. The rooms were large and bright and very comfortable. The resort was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful and wonderful! The food was plentiful and fresh and there was always something different to try. All tastes were catered to. The beaches were glorious!

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Playa Mita Perfecto

This was a perfect resort. We enjoyed every minute of time spent here. The pools were clean and wonderful. The Iberostar friends and two of the chefs made the difference for us. I will never forget the fun times we had with the Animacion friends, particularly with the dancing instruction. I will remember Mario,Marco, Aly,Nancy,Edwardo.Alex and Ruby for the rest of my life. The kids club also provides an excellent outlet and safe environment for all ages of children. Sonia and Yomara keep the  [... read more]children busy. The two chefs that helped me with a dietary issue were Aldo and Yasmine. I was sorry to leave and afterward missed everyone at the resort greatly. Sincerely, R.R.

Iberostar Origin Tainos: Absolutely amazing

Everything was great, the resort was clean and beautiful the staff were very helpful and organised. They had activities going on everyday. Great place to bring a family, there was always something to do. The beach was absolutly amazing literally a one minute walk from our room. food was good also

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Amazing Resort

Not happy re: booking the dinners in the evening.. I go to book the first day and they tell me they are full to come back.. came back to desk 3 to 4 times! I did not know that people where booking them on line and when you went to eat the place was not full I don' t get it

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Still as good as ever.

the Iberostar Grand prides itself on customer service. the areas are always kept clean with staff constantly looking for things out of place. after 12 years and the salty air takes its toll on the infrastructure so in parts the hotel needs some work which is in the works. A new menu in the specialty restaurants has changed things up a bit but they are all top quality with a fine selection of food and wine. Being a golfer, the onsite course to my mind is one of the best but not your typical r [... read more]esort courses as it provides challenges at every turn but as in years past is kept in immaculate condition Going back again soon

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: 2nd time in Cuba might be the last time.....

I had booked this 5 star hotel wanting a GREAT vacation by spending Christmas in the sand instead of snow. This hotel promised all the amenities of a 5 star resort BUT no one mentioned how vast the property was and if you were booked in "The Village" all adults, in order to get to the main lobby, main restaurant, Spa etc you had to call for a golf cart to come pick u up. Who wants to be waiting to be driven back and forth to your villa. Once we realized where we were on the resort, I asked to [... read more] be moved to "Duplexs" , still adult only but closer to the main part of the resort. The resort accommodated my request and we moved by the second day. Without any reduction in the price that I paid for the most expensive room. People who book here need to know there are no rooms with sea views. In order to get to the beach it is after least a 10 minutes walk. All rooms face bushes. The staff were very accommodating and tips go along way. Almost all staff were courteous and eager to please. Being a 5 star resort I would have expected more for the taste of food. I know what to expect with Cuban flair but this trip was disappointing. They have a la cart restaurants, stay far away from the Italian restaurant. Even the waiters in the buffet restaurant told us not to go there. IF you are ok with no beach views, ok with a lot of walking and ok with being shuttled by golf carts then this place should suit you fine. I must say for the first 3 days my husband and I had a entire beach to ourselves in the village section, I believe that was paradise. I did start experiencing stomach troubles on Sunday 25th, write flew home on the 27th and today the 29th, I am still feeling stomach problems. Paradise beach and great weather made the trip. Hubby and I think sadly this will be our last to trip to Cuba and we will venture back to Jamaica. Jamaica has the food, culture and rooms at or near the beach (Negril) that will make feel we got our monies worth. Bye bye Cuba :(

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Nice, yet, Disappointing!

The front of the hotel, especially the check -in main area need immediate renovations. Some work was being done at the time of our stay. Lots of noise all days long!!! The second half of the hotel ( close to the beach) is very nice and renovated.The beach itself is beautiful...loved my long walks every day. I upgraded our room to Romantic Room, but there was nothing romantic about it, except bottle of champagne in the room. The shower head didn't worked on our arrival, so to get replacement, w [... read more]e had to wait day and half! Also, we had to ask multiple times to get towels changed in our room. The fridge in our room was filled only every second day, which included 2 cans of beer only and 2 waters! Wow!!!! I have been to Cuba 5 times, but this one was most disappointing! This was a very special trip to celebrate my 50th Birthday, but I am very disappointed in the whole experience.I wish we went to a different hotel. I would never go to Iberostar Playa Alameda again!

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Worst vacation ever

This was our first time in Cuba and I don't think we will ever go back again. The resort was filthy the front desk was rude our room smelled like mildew and our room had mildew and sheets had stains and many other issues and we were in the new renevated building. So disappointed. I can't even tell you all the issues. Pool deck dirty no clean towels you have to wait 4-5 days sometimes longer just awful expierence.
