Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Best Resort Ever!!!!!

We have been to at least 20 All Inclusive Resorts and this is the Best ever!!!! Accomodation, Food, Staff, Beach cannot fault anything. Would go back in a hearbeat. Located about 3/4 hour drive from Airport on a secluded beach.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Amazing resort!

This resort was awesome! Everyone who works there was amazing! Great service, awesome food, clean, fun, Starr friends amazing! Housekeeping awesome! Room always taken care of everyday! Pool is awesome and beach is beautiful. Many chairs available and always clean towels available. Love the people that work at this resort they really make your vacation a good one!

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Wonderful Resort!

From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome. We were greeted with a drink while checking in and although there were many of us who arrived at the same time, check in was quick and efficient. Our room was clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that our fridge wasn't really cold (but didn't really spend much time drinking in the room). The grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Staff was always very friendly and attentive. Pool was wonderful and the beach was great (we were worried a [... read more]bout what to expect with the beach from some of the other reviews). Other guests do wake up quite early to reserve chairs but we didn't have any trouble finding lounge chairs at the beach or the pool when we were there, you might have to walk around for a minute to find one, but honestly, I was in no hurry. The entertainment staff work very hard to make sure that everyone is having a good time. You can choose to be involved in the activities or not. They are not pushy at all if you say no. We were a little uncomfortable with the amount of people on the beach trying to sell things but I was aware that it would happen from other reviews and quickly learned to say "no thank you" and they would leave you be. The food was good, we certainly didn't go hungry. The fresh fruit was amazing and the sushi was great. If you get a chance to eat at the Japanese restaurant, do it! The food is great and it is very entertaining. We travelled as a couple but would not hesitate to bring our children to this resort. There were always activities going on for the kids. A big plus for this resort is that it is a quick 20 min drive to and from the airport.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Fantasticvacation!

This resort is a perfect size; not too big, not too small. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. Great time had by all - highly recommend the Japanese dinner; go twice if you can. I would also recommend the cable car ride - fantastic views - memorable!!!

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Very nice resort

Great area. Weather wasn't great, but there is nothing to be done about that. I would go back again. Enjoyed our time there. Will go for 2 weeks next time. Rooms were comfortable and we enjoyed the pools.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: First time to Cuba

Ok Vacation . Not used to large resorts. May of been the reason I was not totally impressed. Food was ok . I rather have a more flavourful menu. Beach was very nice . They need to up their game with service ex: lack of clean Towels in Room and pool. I don't mind using the same towel a few time ... but they need to leave it hanging where we put it so we know which is ours . Didn't enjoy using a towel not knowing if it was my roomates used towel....

Hotel Mojito: Good get away

This was my first time to Cuba. The beach was beautiful! It got really crowded though. The hotel wasn't the greatest in my opinion. I found it below average over all. Food was ok, not great either. Room wasn't very clean, bedding was dirty and the grounds need some updating. Its an older resort and it shows, but it gets the job done. Staff were very friendly and great!

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Loved this resort!

Hi. We had a great time. The resort was excellent. Really big and a lot of walking but we got use to it after a couple of days. Probably a good thing considering all the food we ate. The food was really good compared to where I stayed in Varadero. I was very pleased. No complaints from my husband either which was initially a concern for him about going to Cuba. The workers at the resort were amazing. Always on the ball, excellent service. They really work hard and very thankful for any tips. I c [... read more]annot believe the difference from my trip to Varadero in 2010. The a la cartes were nice, food was good, loved the Asian one. We went to book our a la cartes right away and most of the reservations left were only for late in the evening like 9 pm which we thought at first was way too late and worked out earlier times on different days but in hindsight we realized that the late reservations would have been better as we didn't have to leave the beach as early to get ready for supper and could have just got a snack around 5 if we wanted. The a la carte at the adult spa section was really good too. Nice that you could just go during the afternoon and not need a reservation. Spaghetti was awesome. The beaches were beautiful. Really good snorkelling at both beaches especially if you have bread for the fish. Beach chairs were all in good shape. They could use some more palapas but people just made shade with two chairs as there were lots. The grill by the beach bar was good. Lots of choices. Fish, pizza, salad, fruit, hot dogs, etc. The beach bars at both beaches were really good. Megano's beach bar was bigger and we went to a really fun beach party one night where they set up big screens and disco lights and music in the volleyball crt. We got to know the bartender as there was only one working. He worked really hard that night! We met a few Other couples while we were there. The shows were good on nights that were Cuban related. I was really impressed that the theatre was indoors and air conditioned. One more thing. I could not believe how family oriented the resort was. I always said that I'd never take our kids south with us but I think this resort changed my mind. The only thing I think would make it better is if there was a section of one of the beaches was for adults only. Being away without your kids, I found I didn't want to be near kids on the beach. But everyone wants to be in the shade under palapas. We could have gone to the other end of the beach but would have been without shade. Sun was really hot and we had excellent weather all week. 37+degrees and no clouds just sun all week.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Phenomenal Couples Trip

My overall rating is a combination of experience and resort. The staff was very kind and never insisted/nagged for gratuities. The food was hands down the best I've had in any of my down south trips (including 3 resorts in Mexico, 1 in Cuba, 1 in Punta Cana). The Mexican a la carte was filled with amazing flavours, but the Japanese a la carte had great food and an even better experience that included entertainment and interaction. Our garden view room was lovely and kept very clean. The entire r [... read more]esort was kept very clean including the pool area which was cleaned nightly. The beach was very nice and included some great snorkeling less than 20 yards out. We also took the tip top catamaran day trip which included snorkeling; such a great experience that I would highly recommend for anyone that enjoys snorkeling. There was always always something to do during the day and the staff was very entertaining. Night life was decent, although we never attended the disco. Overall, great trip. Highly recommended.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Great resort but terrible flight

Resort was beautiful and staff was amazing. Rooms were a little outdated but we're cleaned daily. Food was average but we could always find something to eat. Really enjoyed the food at the beach grill. Food was cooked fresh right in front of you. The beach was beautiful and water warm and clear. It would of been nice if there were more cabanas because if you weren't on the beach by 7am you were out of luck. Overall had a great vacation. Great service at the buffet from our server Yuri. If you ca [... read more]n, try to seat in his area. He's extremely efficient and knowledgeable. However, had major issues with Sunwing and would not recommend anyone travel with them. Started to experience problems from the minute I tried to book my seats from home. Sunwing will only allow you to book your seats four hours before the fight leaves which is not the norm as most airlines give you 24 hours. I tried several times to book the seats online but the system wouldn't let me. Since I live about an hour from the airport if I finally had to leave and of course by the time I reached the check in we were given what ever was left. Even had a worse experience coming home. Booked our seats ahead of time from the resort thru the Sunwing representative and paid extra. When we reached the airport we found out the seats were over the wing and we would of had better seats if we had just booked at the airport. Our bags were weighted and we were over. This didn't make any sense as we weren't over going down but were close to the limit. I had only purchased a few souvenirs and knew we couldn't possible be over that much. When I tried to place some things in my purse (it was a big purse) he told me he would have to weigh my purse. This is when another gentleman came over. I asked him what am I going to do then and he said we would have to pay. My husband asked the price and the amount was ridiculous. At this point I said this is crazy and again I questioned how could be over this much when we weren't coming down. I decided my souvenirs weren't worth that much and stated I'll have to throw them out. This is when it went from bad to worse. Without a word he picked up the garbage can and plunked it in front of me. I started to throw out my souvenirs and he never said a word except to tell us we are still over. We felt at this point we have no option but to pay so we did. We travel quiet a bit and we have never had a situation like this or have been treated like this. I have contacted Sunwing twice but am still waiting for a return call. This was the first time we have travelled with Sunwing so travellers beware.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Clean, fun and Friendly

This is the first experience my boyfriend and i have had in an all inclusive resort... we would definately go back.. The Staff we very friendly, we had alot of fun with them.. (I miss them) Efron, Blackie, Chocolatte, and Luci... we done the dune buggy and Snorkeling excursions, the tour guides on both were very helpful.. The food was great.. Brazilian, Mexican and Japanese Ala Carte were very good... Good bang for your buck...

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Perfect vacation!

The staff friendly, professional hard working. Entertainment staff were very energetic and fun. Rooms perfect with amazing views and kept spotless all week. The food was fantastic very tasty our favorite was the steak house. The grounds were impecably kept. We went as a couple, this is a family resort there is lots for kids to do all day, smiling faces everywhere! One of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had! Loved it will definately go back!

Hotel Mojito: Beautiful Beach, Resort was okay...

The hotel grounds were actually very nice and clean, all the gardeners and cleaning staff worked hard. Rooms were old and run down, our toilet didn't work and the room smelled really bad (toxic), a technician attempted to fix it but never did. You only got decent service if you tipped, tipping was expected ALL THE TIME and if you didn't tip once you would not get service the next time. I was at the Grand Caribe a few months back and what a difference, service and staff was excellent despite of t [... read more]ipping, I travelled with my toddler and at the Grand Caribe, a high chair was always brought to us, here I always had to find the high chair myself and bring it to the table, never once did the waiter bring it for me. Food was pretty good for Cuba standards and the beach was absolutely stunning, so if you're mainly going for the beach, this may be the place for you!. Also the Michael Jackson show is incredible, these people belong on a BIG stage somewhere, they are too talented to be performing only at the resorts.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Good Resort

We enjoyed our stay at the Iberostar April 25-29. Staff were friendly and food was great. Rooms were a bit dated. If you are really fussy it's not the resort for you. Enjoyed my mornings on the porch drinking coffee in the hammock. lots of activities going on if you want to join in. Beach in front of this resort Is rocky. You have to walk out on the dock and go into the water from there to swim.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: amazing location

The Ensenachos has two beautiful beaches but there is not enough shade provided. Too few palapasses and many of the ones that are there have part of the roof missing. The resort was not nearly full (don't believe staff when they tell you that the resort is full, they are trained to say that) and still, when you go to the beach, say 10.00 am, you won't be able to find a place in the shade. This was very disappointing for us as the beach is the main thing for us to go to the Caribean.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Iberostar Rose Hall Suites

Everything was amazing: food, beach, pool except that the last two days of our stay the air conditioning broke. The hotel did not say or do anything. Awaiting Air Transat rep. will be in contact with us from April 29th.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Great Resort don't be afraid to book it

The resort is very nicely set up and everything is close be. Very clean but it could do with some upgrades in the rooms and the buffet. However with this said for Cuba it's a pretty good hotel. I would recommend that that get better beach chairs because the plastic chairs are hard to sit in all day if you are a beach person. Food was ok. Always found something and there is always pizza and pasta made for you. coffee was excellent and the drinks in the lobby were good especially the mojitos Ent [... read more]ertainment is pretty good we especially enjoyed the music by the pool in the evenings. The rooms were clean on time every day. A couple of days they were short on towels but not a big issue as we just made do with the hand towels. Just have to remember that this is Cuba. Just go with an open mind and you will enjoy it.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Great Time!!!

The grounds at this resort are beautiful. There is lots of wildlife and the ground are very lush with greenery. Everything is really spread out so if you mind walking this is not for you. We enjoyed the pool, beach, food, and we met lots of great people.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: WONDERFUL!

Checked in by Shelly. We couldn't get a room close to our family members (they booked with a different travel service) so she upgraded us to an ocean view, her idea, because she was sorry she couldn't get us close to my "mommy". That was the beginning of many wonderful surprises at this resort. Low end? If the service at this end of the resort is low end, then they must be fed with golden spoons at the Suites and Grand. The staff was exceptional. Even one of the gardeners asked if he could help  [... read more]us find something when we obviously looked a little lost. He not only told us the best way to get there, but stopped what he was doing to escort us to the door. They went above all expectations and never made us feel like we were a bother. We actually felt like we were at a family function much of the time. We are not big drinkers, but we enjoyed many of the mixed drinks. The servers and bartenders would make us up something when we had no idea what to order, and, oh yeah, they can mix some drinks! Miami Vice....enough said. The food was very good, even the buffet. Many selections, usually good and hot (depending on how long it takes you to make your plate and return to your table) and again the service was fast and very friendly. The a la cartes (make your reservations as soon as you can) are very, very good. The steaks are excellent!! The rooms are clean, comfortable and large. They are a little dated, but the service, beach and food were above my expectations, so a little bit of "needs updating" was the least of my concern. Check out, like check in, was quick and efficient. If you want to go to Jamaica and have great food, service and entertainment, not to mention the beautiful beach and sunsets.....Then this resort is for you. Don't bother spending extra money for the "higher ends" of this resort because, in my opinion, the service couldn't be better. Of course, we didn't ask for room service, so if you want that and the extras that go along with that, then great, by all means check out the Suites or Grand. Otherwise, I highly recommend the beach end of this resort. Relaxed and full of flavor! Thanks Trip Central and Iberostar Beach for a wonderful vacation! Can't wait to return!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Great holiday!!!

The staff were very accommodating and friendly and the rooms were very clean. I found the resort to be a bit too big for my liking. I mean it was good walking but lots of things were farther than I would have liked. The kids club however was AMAZING!!!! For the kids. They had a blast there and I couldn't get them out. They always had activities for them and made them feel comfortable. They came back every day with something new that they made or did. I would highly recommend them if you go to th [... read more]is resort with your kids. They will love it. They take them for lunch and dinner and you pick them up when ever you want, but I will say they won't leave till the very last minute lol. I would say that I would have liked to have heard a lot more Spanish music than American. I can hear that anytime, when I go to Mexico or Dominican or other places like that, I want to hear the music from their culture for a week so I can get cometely submerged in the vacation. The other thing would be that they need to upgrade the bathtubs as they are not in the best shape. I was also told that I would have a pool view room and that wasn't the case when we got to our room. With that aside the food was pretty good and the service was good.
