Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Fabulous food !

Beautiful, friendly staff, very clean, beautiful and tropical landscape. Fantastic food, beautiful beach. I would definitely go back and stay at this resort. Great shopping at the resort as well. I would definitely go back and stay at this resort.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Awesome time at Iberostar Daquiri

Just got back from a wonderful week at the Iberostar Daquiri. Everything was great. I requested a room with a king bed in a newly renovated room and that's what we got. Every room has a great view of the ocean. The grounds were beautiful although some walkways are a bit worn. All in all a great week.

Hotel Mojito: Awesome resort!

We decided to go to on a last minute trip, so we didn't get to look at many reviews. We were not disappointed. This was a great resort. The drinks were great, the food was good and the staff was wonderful! It's the nicest beach we have seen. The rooms were dated but clean and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely go back.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Exception Staff

Negatives Limit hot water in our room Limited supply of clean beach towels The room had two single bed and we had to pay for an upgrade to get one king bed. Positives Our hotel room was clean. Exceptional Staff Great drinks No line ups for food or drinks 24 hr snack bar. A la carte reservations were easy to get. Ample seating poolside and beachside.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: So So Resort

I would have to really think about recommending this resort. There is lots of upgrading needs to be done with the first thing making sure they have hot water and that the patio doors look. When they say someone will be there in 15 minutes be prepared to wait about 45 minutes to an hour. Plus side: The a la carte restaurant are great especially the Steak House. Even the main buffet was excellent. You could always find something you liked and the same goes for the beach buffet which turns into the [... read more] Steak House at night. What else can you say about the beach except beautiful and the same goes for the pool.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: best holiday ever!

From start to finish an amazing trip....friendly staff amazing food all around great experience. Nice that everything was close didn't feel we had to walk forever to get to anything.we would recommend this resort to anyone wanting to go to Cuba

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Good Resort

This is the second time staying at this resort. The grounds are well kept as are the public area. At out stay this time we could not get fresh towels for the beach, so in seven days we have fresh towels once!!. We were missing our toilet seat and the AC wasn't working well. There were less staff and the service slower than before. One morning I sat at the buffet for 25 mins and not a single person came to offer coffee. I ended up leaving with no coffee. Features are ok, same as before.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Great Resort

Cayo Coco Iberostar Daiquiri: -Food wasn't the best, resort was great. -The workers were great, calling you by name. The resort itself was beautiful, very relaxing. -Would definitely recommend this resort to any first timers!

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: very nice

the hotel in general was very nice,beach excellente,rooms could need a little touchup,restaurant a la carte good, buffet could be better, staff good.night intertainement was excellent they work very hard and very professional in general i would recommend this resort.

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Very good resort!

Check in left a lot to be desired. None of our requests were met:( apparently IF we were Iberostar Club members this would not have been an issue! Wasted a lot of time getting rooms changed. Air Transat needs to work on their shuttles, problems at both ends! The resort itself was lovely......great lobby bar......really nice pool......beautiful beach!

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Iberostar Laguna Azul

Despite the ground-hog day environment of thr packaged all-inclusive hotel the super nice and proud people of Cuba do what most of us privileged tourists couldn`t and wouldn`t do: make pizza or clean rooms or serve drinks 6 days a week 12 hours a day for 10 to 30 years in 30 degrees C. The food - there is always something to eat and despite what you hear it is flavourful if you choose something other than bread...and yes you are likely to pick up a stomach bug like we all did because we eat very [... read more] different things at home. The entertainment was surprisingly good. The beach is spectacular, the pool great for adults and children. The hotel is safe and theft was never a doubt. When new this hotel was probably a grand hotel but time and the climate has taken its toll - it could be back there again with some investment of money. It`s Cuba at the end of the day and the economy and socialist system determines a lot of how it operates as we found out from a fantastic tour guide on our day trip to Havana. Yes the room was damp and everything smelled not like home, yes beach towels were never available to be changed, yes the room wasn't as clean as we would have wanted, yes it felt like the hotel was held together with good intentions in some scenarios Attempt to understand why things are the way they are and embrace them and you will enjoy yourself regardless of first world problems you see on review boards like limited wireless connectivity or the odd broken tile or you used the same beach towel all week or heaven forbid your cappuccino froth didn't have nutmeg on it like you asked for!

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Keeps getting better!

I was at the Iberostar Punta Cana 5 years ago and I must say that it has improved greatly. I have stayed at the Iberstar Varadero in Cuba and thought the one in Punta Cana had a long way to go to catch up, but I think it is now there! On our trip this March, the food, staff, animation team, guest services and entertainment were all wonderful. Guest services went out of their way to ensure we received wonderful service and receive good restaurant bookings. The circus show was the best I've seen a [... read more]nd I was so impressed. The 4 pm food and drink special down at the beach and pool restaurant every day was a nice touch. Also, the table outside the buffet set up each night with appetizers was terrific for those who had late dinner reservations and wanted to have a snack with their pre-dinner cocktail at the entertainment bar. For us older folks, the band playing every night on the Punta Cana side was also a nice touch. The only thing that hasn't changed is the vendors that are brought in one of the nights. Being Canadian, we greatly dislike aggressive behaviour, so tend to stay away. I think we would have shopped more if they weren't so aggressive (although, they were very nice). My daughter had a great time meeting other high school seniors from Halifax and a couple of young people from Argentina and because of the coziness of the resort, they were always able to find each other. They loved going to the disco and Karaoke bar every night and the fact that the buffet was open for 24 hours, was a huge bonus. I liked the fact that because of the mix of nationalities and age groups, it wasn't run over with spring breakers. Thank you Iberostar Punta Cana for making my daughter's graduation/birthday present so special!

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Amazing Resort and beach

I really enjoyed my stay at this resort. The beach was amazing, the night entertainment was great and so professional I thought I was in Vegas. Food was good with lots of variety. Rooms could use some renovations but very clean. Pool areas very nice. Fun entertainment on beach and pool area during the day. My only complaint would be more comfy chairs for the beach.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Good vacation

Beautiful premises, good service. Boardwalk on the beach is a plus. Buildings are a bit dated. Handicapped rooms are not caught up to rising population needs. Food is great especially the fruit. Vegetarians and allergy sufferers have to struggle to find right foods.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: enjoyable property

This hotel is a very nice place as it is a good size and has all the amenities of a larger place. We upgraded to an ocean view and it was well worth it. The room was great and the food was good.The staff is top notch. Close to the airport.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Exceeded Expectations

Travelled Mar 7-14, 2016. Fifth trip to DR, 4th to Puerto Plata, but it has been a few years. Can say that this trip reaffirmed my notion that the Dominican people are the friendliest that I have encountered on my sunn, southern excursions. First time to the Iberostar and I must say that I appreciate the free wifi, accessible from anywhere except the beach. Furniture a little dated, but well kept. Marya our maid always left us a little surprise each day, towel art and flower petals and did an im [... read more]peccable job of keeping our room. Comfortable mattresses and crisp linens made for a wonderful rest. Always lots of hot water and great pressure. Small touches such as balcony rack for drying swimsuits, makeup mirror, awesome toiletries, along with a hair dryer, great coffee, and black out blinds were a welcome surprise. Didn't try any a la cartes, as found the buffets had a huge selection. Awesome variety, especially fish and seafood (lobster, shrimp etc.) Probably the best buffet of any we have been to. Check in was swift and staff rearranged our accommodations quickly, to accommodate another couple travelling with us. The pool was large enough that you could be a participant in the activities, or find a nice quiet spot to sunbath. Lovely beach, great for walking and always clean. We were a little disappointed that the ocean was red-flagged most of the week, due to winds. However, the weather is beyond the control of resort. We knew before we left home that the whole Caribbean was expecting overcast weather with showers on and off for the whole week. We did get a few light showers, but only enough to cool things off. Can't say enough about the staff....Nelson in the buffet, Isador at the pool bar, Angelina in activities and Marya in housekeeping, plus too many more to name. Thank you to all that work behind the scenes, gardeners, laundry, kitchen staff etc. as you all helped to make our vacation a hit. A big thank you to Air Transat for another wonderful holiday.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Wonderful familiar place

a great place. My 4th time. The staff are like family. The grounds wonderful. Rooms are a bit tired but we only sleep there. Worried about the massive construction on Cayo Guillermo. My 2 weeks at Daiquiri were very crowded.

Iberostar Origin Tainos: OK

The resort is small and old. The expectation will define how good this resort is. I stayed I Iberostar star Ensnachos and this is not to that level at all. Is small resort, the food is not great, however the service was good. No pool bar and 24 hour snack, we spent a lot of time in the town. For the money I paid I expected a lot more.

Hotel Mojito: Amazing resort ! Friendly people!

We had a great time! Beautiful beach, pools! Beautiful people! My girls 14 and 10 loved the entertainment at the hotel. Service is amazing ! They really make you feel like at home, excellent for families :)

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Wonderful experience!

A wonderful resort! My boyfriend and I and another couple just returned from the Iberostar Laguna Azul on Sunday. The lobby is very inviting - there are always things going on! Magic shows, bands playing on the terrace, a pianist, etc. and there are always a great number of drinks to try from the Lobby Bar (my favourite bar - they had the best drinks!). The service was always great as well. It didn't matter where you were. Anywhere in the lobby, someone will greet you. Sitting out by the pool, s [... read more]omeone will greet you as well. Wonderful service! The buffet I found quite enjoyable as well! Again, great service. Going to Cuba for the first time, I did not have high expectations for the food but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! Most of the food had good flavour and everything was almost always labelled so you knew what you were eating. The pasta station at dinner and the omelette station at breakfast were my favourite! Make use of these stations! The only small complaint I had about the buffet were the options.They seemed to be the exact same food every single day, with only a few variations. So definitely make use of your 3 A La Carte dinners and the different stations to try different things! The rooms were..okay. Our room overlooked the small pool so it was nice and quiet at nights where we weren't up late, or afternoons where we wanted to sleep. They were cleaned everyday, given fresh towels everyday, and the mini bar was restocked every other. However, they are VERY musty. Be prepared to smell like the inside of a closet all day and all your clothes needing a good wash when you return home, and also be sure to use your balcony to dry anything because nothing will dry in that room! Another thing about the rooms - if you are travelling as a couple, make sure you request, or your travel agent request, one king/queen. We were both travelling as couples and we both ended up with 2 twin beds. Not the end of the world, but a little annoying our first night. My friend tried to switch her room a few times with no luck - so try and get this figured out before you arrive (if this is possible). All in all - a great first Cuba experience! Make sure you do the Catamaran tour - everyone must see Cayo Blanco!
