Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Very good but one major dissapointment

No real surprises. It was consistent with all reviews we had seen before. The facility was great, the beach was fine, the food was, in fact, very good and the staff were very friendly. Generally what we have come to expect with Iberostar. We were celebrating a big event in our lives and we were visiting an Iberostar resort for the seventh time...we are loyal Iberostar clients! But the disappointment to us was that the cold and aloof staff at the front desk gave us one of the worst room locati [... read more]ons in the resort. When we asked to have a room that we had requested, we were given another poor location, just marginally better. The next day we went to our booking rep (to avoid the front desk staff) to make a complaint and later got a much better room but still not what we requested. We find it odd that this resort doesn't take better care of their returning guests when other Iberostar resorts have worked so hard to impress us with their service. Will we stay at Iberostar next time? I'm not so sure.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Okay hotel

Poor food selections. If you like pork and shrimp you are good to go. Cleanliness of rooms daily were much to be desired. Pools and pool areas were clean and organized. Lots of chairs available on the beach as well as the pool areas.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: amazing resort

beautiful presentation, grounds wonderful, rooms have no view of the ocean but there is so much to see out of your window no matter where in the resort you are, great food and staff very helpful! No hot tubs in the whole complex only jetted cold not appealing water..not so great about directions throughout the resort.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: The Best One Yet!

The Iberostar Costa Dorada certainly exceeded our expectations! The grounds were beautifully kept, the food was exceptional and the staff were fantastic! They couldn't do enough to ensure your vacation was fantastic and more. Although it was the first time for us to experience a couple of rainy days it still was our best resort experience thus far. We have travelled to many resorts in the past but our Iberostar experience was the best. We booked the superior room and had exceptional service [... read more]. We would highly recommend this resort to both singles and families! Happy travels!

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Meh, it's okay

This hotel was okay. Nothing more, nothing less. The grounds were well kept, if unremarkable. The rooms were clean, but basic. The food was great on selection, lacking on execution. The staff was attentive while also remaining distant and uninterested. The beach was a tease to what other beaches in the DR can offer. While there is nothing at all wrong with this resort, we spent our 7 days there constantly saying "Meh, it's okay". Another traveler that we became friends with asked us if  [... read more]we would recommend this resort to our friends at home and it was very difficult to say either yes or no without a laundry list of reasons why. We booked here specifically to be close to the mountainous areas out Puerto Plata in order to venture out 4-5 days of our week. Because of the torrential rains experienced in this area over the last month, this was not possible, so we found ourselves confined to the resort a little more than we had hoped. This is not to bash the resort completely, there was a lot of good here, just not one bit of great that we could identify. Food selection was one of the best we have seen on any resort, there was just none of it that was all that great. The nightly shows had some of the best props and sets I have ever seen, but the performers looked like they wanted to be anywhere but on that stage. There was never a wait for drinks at the bar, or in the restaurants, but trying to find a smile on most of the staff's faces was like searching for a needle in a haystack. I would recommend this resort for large groups looking for something to please everyone, young families and budget travelers if you can get a deal on the price. I would look elsewhere for couples and families with older children.

Hotel Mojito: Another amazing 2 weeks in paradise!

Iberostar Mojito is a quiet resort that is excellent for relaxation and rejuvenation and tends to attract a clientele not overly into 'partying'. Staff are friendly and very helpful - rooms are bright and sunny and clean. Food is not fancy - if you are a gourmand you will be disappointed - but tasty, well prepared and always available. Beachfront has been eroding somewhat over the years, but plans have been made to dredge and restore the shoreline. Poolside activities are well organized a [... read more]nd lots of fun - geared to different age groups. Nightly shows are exciting and colorful. Myself and a group of friends have returned many years in a row - often connecting with old friends that do the same - staff remembers you from previous visits and are always happy to see you return. Not a 5 star resort - but if you are looking to recharge your batteries in a comfortable, beautiful and safe place - Mojito is for you.

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: great experience!!!!

We were 3 adults and 5 kids under 9 years old.We all had fun!! The room are nice,clean and we had a surprise a ocean view.The buffet good variety not too much line up at the grill or pasta station.The beach is nice but rocky,they were creative with the elevated terrasse and the stair to go in the water..Overall very good vacation and the service everybody was wonderful.. We wouldlike to go back.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Amazing resort that is accessible for people with physical disabilities

I have been to this hotel 7 times now because it is not only a great resort with beautiful grounds, great food, amazing staff, but also that is very accessible for those with physical disabilities. The whole resort is very flat, with ramps where needed, there are golf carts that will drive you where you want to go, easy access into the pool and even a boardwalk that extends under sun umbrellas on the beach for easy wheelchair/walker access. This is very hard to find and I have not seen a hotel  [... read more]this accommodating. Although the complex is huge, it is very easy to get around, with many activities, lots of chairs with shade at the pool and beach and close to the airport.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Great family resort

Lovely hotel/resort. Great location and beaches. Hotel is a little run down, but still very nice. It's Cuba, after all. They make do with the supplies they have. Same with the food. It was decent and lots of it, just not as good as first world countries. The staff are very lovely and always a smile and "ola" to you. A great plus on the beaches is they are long and fairly level, so great for walking along. Good snorkelling right off the beach too. Lots of activities if you want to partake, [... read more] but the staff don't harass you to do so if you'd rather not. Shows were just ok, but that's not why I vacation there!

Hotel Mojito: A home away from home

From the moment we arrived the staff treated us like we were part of their family. It also didn't come across too fake. We got checked into our room in the building we had requested. The rooms was as expected. Clean and simple. We were actually surprised that the pillows were even comfortable. Once we settled we headed out to the buffet as we arrived just before the buffet was closing. The food was really good. We had a lot to choose from and didn't get tired of it during our week stay. There wa [... read more]s enough variety for us. The A La Carte restaurants were good as well. The Gourmet was out favourite. The beef was so delicious. Hit up the grill in the snack bar and the pig roast if you can for lunch. The cigar bar although quite the bar tender Franky made some amazing drinks. Let him surprise you. You won't be disappointed. Michal in the lobby bar also has 1 drink that will knock your socks off. Axel in the pool bar is very kind and gets to know your drink preferences. We had a great stay and would go back. Rated a 3.5 but more like a 4. It does need a little bit of TLC cosmetically but you see past that once you see how welcome and at home you will feel. If you want to bring stuff for the staff bring Imodium, tooth paste and Crazy Glue. This is what they are currently needing. You simply can't get it even if you have money right now.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Iberostar Punta Mita excellente.....

Everything is absolutely first class; walking distance from the Jr. Suites at the beach to Lobby and Restaurants / Entertmnt. i s rather long for older people like me. Food good, but better at the Japan. & Pacific Restaurants ! Entertainment fair only........

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: real nice place

everything was good except the food, I lost weight which was good but it was because I couldn't eat the food, they have to upgrade the food in all the hotels , everyone says the same, food was okay when we made reservations at the specialty restaurants, the Italian was very good, the shows were good every night, the market in veradero was great and the catamaran trip was fantastic, the crew on the Lire were very funny and we had a great time, I will be going back, Sunwing rep at the hotel was a  [... read more]very nice guy and spoke very good English

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Just what we wanted

This was the first time to this resort, eighth time to Jamaica. We wanted something not as far from the airport as we usually travelled and not too large a hotel. What a great place. We booked an oceanfront room. This was on the third floor, elevators ran quickly is you didn't want to use the stairs. Room had a wraparound deck so you could see the court that the hotel surrounds and the ocean. There are lots of trees and sandy area on the beach and the beach was nice. No fighting for shade [... read more] if the sun got to be too much. There's a reef that completely goes from one side to the other which scuba divers seemed to enjoy. Also a lot of people were snorkelling closer to shore. Great food, nice rooms, great service and staff. The people talked you for a proper conversation, not just the polite small talk. We went to the Japanese and Aunt Ruby's Steakhouse (Uncle Tony's was closed for renovation). Had surf and turf - hard to get a steak this good in Canada. Japanese was fun but noisy - they cooked on two grills in front of you and entertained while doing so. Others said they also liked the Cajun Restaurant. We will be back again for sure. Another gentleman said he has been to this resort 10 times, why go somewhere else when this is perfect.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Fabulous!

Stayed from Nov 18 to the 24th 2016. The hotel is beautiful. The staff from the reception lobby to the buffet and poolside were friendly. Immaculate grounds. Maids took care of the rooms. Turn down service was a welcome surprise. Lots of variety of food. Always had a local food station as well as lobster. Meats, chicken, cheeses. Can't imagine anyone complaining. The week we stayed the weather was a bit windy but that's out of anyone's control. We've stayed at many other Iberostar properties i [... read more]ncluding Iberostar Varadero which was excellent but this was lovely for adults as well as kids. The only drawback was the shower pressure in the room was very low.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: One of the better 4* all inclusive resorts !

Excellent location if you are planning on staying on the resort or short trips to Sayulita or into Punta de Mita. About an hour by cab and $75 into PV. Resort is well laid out. Short walk to get anywhere and elevators for those that require. Beautiful long almost private beach. Constant bombardment all day long by the small village of vendors camped just beside the resort. Get used to saying "No gracias" all day or take long walks on the beach/play in the waves to avoid. Beach service is good a [... read more]nd small bar/restaurant at one end. Nice big deep pool with good swim up bar. Loved the rooftop lounge area for drinks anytime of day, especially at night. Food at all restaurants was good. Service here was very good from everyone. Grounds are immaculate. People always everywhere cleaning. Big theatre and decent talented people/costumes put on good shows. We love this area of Mexico and will return to this resort.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: we picked this resort for our 50th. anniversary and no regrets what so ever.

this is our second trip to iberostar varadero and we still thought it was great very clean well kept and the service was very good. the hotel has kept some of its character unlike the newer ikea square box no character hotels.also i noticed that while the staff accepted tips i did not get the feeling that i was hoovered over to get the tip.and no notice of any change in service if i did not tip. its a great hotel and we have stayed at 12 other hotels in cuba. jim&adele

The Hotel is older but immaculate, cleaners, pool boys, and gardeners every where, repairs that were needed were completed within hours .

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: I recommend

Friendly staff, clean resort, great food (coconut crispy fish was unreal), beach was nice, pool is clean and huge, espresso was surprisingly good, everyone is in a good mood, all good things to say. Highly recommended

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: My Perfect Paradise

This was our second stay at Iberostar Ensenachos and we loved it just as much as the the first stay. Our daughter was married last year at the resort and all was beautiful then. The resort is very welcoming and all staff in lobby, dining, pool as well as beach areas are super friendly and very accommodating. We were able to meet with many individuals working within the resort and compliment them on their extremely hard work and dedication to their roles. We will continue to visit the resort year [... read more]ly moving forward as we are truly in love with the beaches and all the services offered.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Amazing Resort

This resort is great. the grounds are well kept and clean. No issues with the food, lots of options. the beach is clean with great service. all in all, a great resort. It is a large resort but lots of trolley's available. Overall, you will not get any better service throughout.
