Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Good

Older but good resort needs work at pool area algae around the pool could use weekly power washing. Buffet area was good could use more a la carte restaurant, beach bbq was excellent. Night entertainment could use some changes same dancers every nite but different themes. Beach area lots of chairs. Staff was excellent lots of games.

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun: Beautiful resort

This resort is beautiful. The rooms are very nice & the beds & pillows are super comfortable. The food was great, especially the daily BBQ near the pool. The staff at the restaurant were awesome always took care of you, and very very nice. The hamburgers were so good. The pizza hut was just ok pizza. Many pools which was great, but only things I disliked was no stairs in the pool, only ladders to get in and out of the pools. The coffee shop had great cappuccino. The front desk people were sup [... read more]er nice, but the only downfall was after you are checked in the send a rep to talk to you about the resort and the get you to be involved in a 90 min meeting about selling their resort to you in a similar of timeshare. Some become very aggressive, not all! The rep i had did! if you repeated say NO! This was the biggest downfall for me I come to relax and not have to deal with Reps repeatly coming and talking to you about buying into their packages to return to cut out the middle person basically ( airlines/ travel sites) this was a big turn off & why I wouldn't recommend or return to this resort. My opinion this is situation is making people not wanting to return after dealing with this. I had talked to other guest also that didn't like this, & said they wouldn't return either because of it. The entertainment was great. The lobby bar wasn't open 24 hrs and open later which was kinda off has you would have to find another place to get a beer or drink until they did. They should have at least 1 bar open 24 hrs. The beach is non existent, very very small. We knew this but it was kinda a big downfall also. Their was 3 designated smoking areas with seats to sit but they ready should have some shade around them has it is full sun at all. Overall the staff was awesome, but not the Reps selling, this didn't sell me to return unfortunately. It was a nice vacation but not the resort for me. I wished I had a better experience for my 1st time in Mexico, it was just OK for this resort~ just my opinion.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Perfect Resort!

Lived up to it's name & reputation. The service was excellent and very professional. Friendly staff throughout and the housekeepers were very attentive. The optimal size - great beach with lots of shade, close to bar, lunch buffet & restrooms. Self-serve pop machine with ice dispenser at beach, with soccer nets and a volleyball area. The surf was gentle and sand was fine; there was some sargassum but only in a small area. Rooms were clean and in good repair, with both local electrical outlets an [... read more]d U.S./Canada plugs as well. Main buffet restaurant always stocked with plentiful choices, lots of fresh seafood with great selection of salad veggies, sweets, breads, and condiments. Next time we come to Puerto Plata we'll be looking here first!

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Excellent experience

From the staff, to the food and the resort itself we had an excellent time! Would go back for sure!! Staff was excellent, food selection was top tier and offered a great vacation spot! Beaches were clean!

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Very good resort

This resort is good value for the money. It's a bit of a smaller resort, only one pool and the walkable beach front is limited, maybe .5 km. The beach itself is clean and well maintained. Like most Caribbean destinations there are issues with seaweed but the Iberostar staff were on it daily. Our swimming area was mostly free of seaweed. We spent all our time at the beach but the pool area was well used and is nice with swim up bar. Staff are terrific and the food was above average at this p [... read more]rice point. Our room was good, showing signs of use but overall ok.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: lovely resort- beyond shitty experience booking with trip central and west jet vacations

The hotel was almost perfect. Great fitness facilities, pickleball courts, pools, rooms, grounds, coffee shops. My only complaint is very hard to get dinner resos anywhere and walk in was almost impossible. So Buffett dinners were common back ups. The beach is very seaweedy but they work all day long trying to clean it. Ocean was hit or miss to swim in . The booking process was filled with errors and credit card charges and west jet cancelled our flight and rebooked a day later but did not com [... read more]pensate for the lost day. So our 7 day all inclusive turned into a 6 days all inclusive. No apology, no hotel vouchers, no food vouchers. West jet left us high and dry.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great value at this resort close to Airport and shopping

My granddaughter and I recently stayed at the Iberostar Waves Resort in Puerta Plata. All staff were very friendly; the front desk immediately saw to two of my concerns - I wanted a flatter pillow plus our room safe needed resetting. I am very particular about food. The food at the main and beach buffets was fantastic - I had made to order omelets in the morning and at night they put a steak or other meat on the grill for you if you wanted. There was also seafood, even smoked salmon in the [... read more] morning. I am lactose intolerant and they catered to people with food allergies. They had soy, almond and oat milk plus gluten free bread and low gluten bread. They even had a low sugar desert area. Deserts were five star and they often had a chocolate fountain with fruit kabobs for dipping. Three a la carte restaurants were very good. They cooked paella or seafood in a large caldron outside every day. I loved that. Plus they had a stage at the beach for beach night or excercising. I loved the hotel lobby and the adjoining large bar/coffee shop/seating area. There were shops to browse in plus a general/tourist store. The resort had a plaza with a huge fountain and seating at tables. It reminded me of the outdoor plazas in Europe and I am sure that the fountain was quite old. The bricks around the fountain looked quite old so maybe they moved the fountain from an old town. People played cards during the day and after supper listened or danced to the small band at the village plaza. There was a huge theatre with a show every night. There were lots of activities at the resort - from bingo, outdoor chess, ping pong, spa, gym plus the swimming pools. They even had a enclosed area for young children. We were there from March 10 to 17th and I picked Puerta Plata (instead of Punta Cana) to avoid the seaweed on the beaches. Unfortunately there was seaweed on the beach but there was always a fairly large beach area to get into the water. Water was warm. The resort felt like home and I am looking forward to going back to the Iberostar Waves resort next year.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Rose Hall Iberostar Jamaica

This was our 3 rd time to this resort and it never disappoints. Staff are super friendly especially entertainment and kitchen staff . We brought a lot of people with us this was their first time but they all seemed to enjoy it a lot as well . Would return there for sure highly recommended it .

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: A great vacation

The Hotel was beautiful. The grounds were kept well. The staff were exceptional and the food was so good. Unfortunately our room was clean but there was a musty smell, but we just slept there so it was tolerable.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: A great hotel

I haven't been to an all inclusive for a few years. I was very impressed with the all inclusive bracelets - never having to remember your key. Loved the water dispensary. The hotel was very clean, the staff - outstanding . However, I didn't understand the crazy spa prices and having to pay for pinot grigio. Loved the pools and location. Loved Jamaica night set outside on the beach. Definitely a 5 star.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Amazing Resort

I have come back to this resort three times. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the people are so friendly and happy to help you. The food was amazing, the drinks were delicious and the pools are fabulous and well maintained! I would definitely return. The only thing I feel this resort needs to do is upgrade the rooms and bathrooms.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Everything as it should be

Hotel grounds and buildings are well kept. Good overall value. Decent quality and variety of food. Loved not having to worry about finding decent chairs. Lots of beach chairs and pool chairs with shade. Great beach and great terrace bar overlooking beach. Decent entertainment.

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun: Everything we hoped for and more!

This was our first time at an Iberostar resort and we were very impressed. The buildings and grounds are immaculate and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The food was beyond our expectations: the buffet was incredible and the restaurants were all very good. Our favourite was the Spanish one, followed by Carribean. The décor and acoustics at the Italian restaurant could be improved. The coffee bar in the lobby is terrific -- and almost made up for the very mediocre coffee at the buffe [... read more]t. We also enjoyed the pizza place, the lunchtime burger cart and the ice cream stand. The rooms are large and well laid out, and all of them have balconies that are nicely furnished. The pools are endless. As everyone has noted, the beach is very narrow, with a lot of sargassam seaweed and it's hard to walk out due to the rocky bottom. However, the view is great, there are lots of lounge chairs and palapas available, the breeze blows constantly, and it's wonderfully quiet. The resort seems to appeal mostly to young families and couples. Everyone was friendly, quiet, happy and relaxed. It was exactly the vacation we were looking for. We wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Awesome vacation

Our family (2 adults, 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son) stayed at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo in early March 2026. We had an amazing time and loved the resort. Vibrant pool scene, kids loved the water slides and we spent hours in the lazy river. We also enjoyed just walking around the complex, there’s a lot to see. The food was good overall, good selection and availability (seemed to be food and a bar around every corner in the afternoons). The room was fine, not super fancy but very cle [... read more]an and functional. Entertainment was the best I’ve seen with live singers and not just lip syncing like you see at some other resorts. We are already planning our return!

Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus: Loved it!

This was our second time to this resort in as many years. The plusses: All staff and workers very friendly and helpful, without exception. The resort was clean and rooms well stocked. We are beach people and enjoyed the abundant sandy beach. It was groomed and cleaned daily. There was an abundant supply of lounges and palapas, both on the beach and around the pool. We had tried the a la carte dining on previous trip but stuck with the buffet restaurant this time around. The food was quite [... read more] varied and plentiful. In the one week we were there we probably sampled only 25% of offerings. There were many families with toddlers the week we were there. Both outdoor and indoor and indoor play areas were available. Live music was provided evenings in the main building as well as outside the buffet restaurant. I would have liked the volume turned down a bit. But that's just me. The only drawback for us was with our tour provider who only flew into Punta Cana, making for a 1hr bus ride to the resort. We enjoyed our week in the sun. Will likely return.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Relax and enjoy food and beach and pool

Staff wonderful. Food plentiful and tasty - many plant based options which we enjoyed a lot. Beach was small with rocky access (bring water shoes) and snorkeling from the dock. Beach walk 1+km each way. Weather 30+C each day with some showers overnight. Rooms were clean, beds comfy and close to beach/pool and restaurants. No stairs. Have brand name liquor and dos equois beer. Small resort so quiet and relaxed for couples and families. Many activities if you want to on beach and in pool. Dive sh [... read more]op on premise with many boat loads of divers and snorkelers all day. Trips from resort by boat and 4x4 ranging from U$80-140 per day. Will go back.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Lovely Resort

We have been coming to this resort twice a year since 2018. It’s obvious we love the resort. The pool area and hallway areas are in need of some upgrades. The tiles in the hallways are old and many are discoloured. The outdoor walkways need a little repair to make them safer as they aren’t level and I have seen people with wheelchairs having challenges getting over when unlevel; just need some cement to join the unlevel walkways. Food and service is excellent and cooks and wait staff are ext [... read more]remely helpful and friendly. We are not fans of the à la carte restaurants and do not attend them anymore. The beach snack bar and the buffet restaurants are wonderful. Rooms are ok but need some brightening up. Bathroom showers tend to flood unless you take out the strainer plug entirely. Minibars need to include diet options for those that are diabetic or just cannot drink sugar drinks. They used to have them but our last 2 visits only had full sugar drinks and beer. We will return again in December as we have been advised that they are closing for 2 months to do major repairs and upgrades.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: My 3rd visit

Still enjoyed my 3rd visit to the property. Food was excellent. Accommodation predictable and good. Golf course terrific! Staff very friendly as always. Weird shower design. There is nothing to stop the water on the shower floor going into the rest of the bathroom. Had to use towels to dam up the water. It was the same in 2009. Nothing changed?

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: HONEST OPINION

This hotel was large enough to keep us engaged but not so large as to overwhelm us with large crowds. We had a swim access pool room that was recently painted, with a recently tiled private patio, with trellis screening; only 8 feet from a newly installed pool. This was our haven. We could venture out to the beach, enjoy dinner or hang out at the main pool but when we tired of having others around, we could retreat to our quiet oasis. The beach was raked clean and long enough to enjoy walkin [... read more]g in either direction. There were two associated adjacent hotels that we could venture to that provided some shopping, though a little more variety of goods would have been nice. The food was good, with the exception of breakfast sausages that were hotdog wieners in disguise. It made us wonder how many were put on plates but rejected to the waste bin. I only mention this because it is easier to talk specifically about a singular fault than to praise the variety of food that was available and enjoyed. Service was pleasant, though few English speaking staff. All in all, this was an enjoyable venue and one that we would select again or recommend to friends. Cheers, Garry

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Amazing Resort

We dealt with Jennifer Brown of Tripcentral. As usual, she's amazing. Thank you. To say this resort is large is an understatement. The grounds are amazing and extremely well kept. They do have trolleys. The buffet has lots to choose from. The restaurant dishes were amazing. I can't begin to tell you how great this place was. Stayed there 12 days and that wasnt enough.
