Iberostar Origin Tainos: Good Resort!
Overall good resort. Friendly staff. Beautiful beach. Food was okay, have to pick and choose. Staff at buffet and bars were great, knew exactly what we wanted within a few days of our stay. Would definitely recommend this resort.
Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Amazing Resort
I loved this resort. It's size makes it easy to get around. The people and the grounds were great. The beach was beautiful. The pool was small, but never full. The food was excellent and the drinks were perfect. I will be back :)
Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Great people and beautiful beach
This resort could be better, it's not operating at its potential. Our room had a musty smell (which I know is common) , but this was very overpowering- maybe some air conditioner maintenance? There was mold on the wall in the bathroom. The fountains and water features had very little water, there were many burned out light bulbs, the food was never hot and neither was the water in the shower, but the people who work there are sooo friendly and helpful and the beach is spectacular ( and the pool [... read more]
Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Great Resort! Third time back!
Once again we stayed at Iberostar Rose Hall Beach. As usual, the service was great and the accommodations were also great! The are doing some upgrades to the garden (tile replacement) area so it will be very nice for our next trip.
Hotel Mojito: Food and service are better than similr hotels. Th
Food service satisfactory. In restaurant line-up for freshly cooked food was so long that I did not use it once. Both toasters were so inadequate- had to be used six times to brown a slice of bread. WHY DOES NOBODY FIX THEM. Expectation of tips even asking for them is annoying. Fresh fruit was lovely.
Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Great service
This resort had good food, staff, and beach. I had to use my friends suit to shower because there was no hot water in my suit. . This resort is good for litthe kids and older crowds. I overpaid for this resorts actual worth
Hotel Mojito: Ahh Cuba
As with most resorts in Cuba, the routine maintenance and upkeep have turned what appeared to be a real gem into an above average resort. The Staff was pleasant and helpful. The food was well above standard with varied selection and well presented. This is not a 4 Star resort. But it has an authentic beautiful and charm. Do not miss the cigar lounge!!! The in-house band rocks with a young shredder. I would go again, The food surpassed my expectations for Cuban value resort, the rooms were clean [... read more]
Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: One of the best vacations of our lives
This trip wasn't all about the journey - it started with our agent who worked with to find the perfect resort for us and the boys. From that point on it only got better. The resort was more amazing then we could have imagined. The staff were incredibly out going and easy to deal with and would do what they could to accommodate your needs. The rooms were clean and spacious. And the food !!! Well lets say I am still working on getting rid of the extra weight it gave me. Even our boys that can be f [... read more]
Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Amazing Resort- my home away from home
My 4th stay and it has definitely become my home away from home. Exceptional staff and nightly entertainment is excellent. Boogie night show awesome! And iberoawards show is awesome , great food. A must return :).
Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Great place to vacation!
Beautiful resort, very clean, great beach! Very hospitable and friendly staff too. Would definitely recommend for families. Wish the night entertainment was better though, this is the only think lacking.
Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Fabulous Beach
We loved the beach and the snorkeling and the gardens were lovely. The lobby and general facade were very attractive but the rooms and amenities(mattress, linens, towels) are old and tired. The buffets were adequate but only rarely did they serve the local beans and rice dish, congris and their excellent black beans. The staff are friendly and really do their best but there is a lack of leadership/management that could inspire better service. Although billed as 5 star it is a 3, maybe 4 so disap [... read more]
Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Fantastic Family Vacation
We had an amazing time at this resort. Totally geared toward families so I highly recommend for traveling with smaller children. Friendly staff, clean hotel, good food, fantastic beach. The wait staff always talked with our daughter at every meal - she loved the attention. Waves were a little high but that didn't stop us from paddling around the shore. Overall, we didn't want to come home!
Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: A lot of money for what you get
Overall the resort was nice. Needs a lot of maintenance, dark walking around at night because half the light bulbs are out. The beach was nice, people are friendly and the beer is cold. Be prepared to walk... one beach to the other is 1.5 hour round trip. Have to take a golf cart shuttle basically anywhere you want to go. Stay away from the buffet whenever possible but the a la carte's were excellent. Not very much (if any) entertainment at the pool or beach. Long drive from the airport, about 1 [... read more]
Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Gorgeous beaches
There isn't much to say about the resort except the staff were amazing and the beaches were gorgeous. Other than that the food was not great and the hotel was very spread out. Lots of junk and garbage in the bushes and the rooms needs a lot of maintenance. If you ever have an issue do not expect to get hold of a manager as they are not available. I would go back to Cuba but I would not go back to this resort. And never travel via sunwing.
Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Not what I expected
From the moment we arrived at the hotel we were not impressed. The check in was slow. The hotel was in need of repairs (the ceiling in our bathroom fell down). The only good part was the staff. Our maid was excellent. The bartenders were friendly. The omelettes were tasty. The pools and beachs were amazing.
Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Amazing resort!
Loved this place. So clean. Good food. A la cartes were great. Grounds were immaculate. Lots of walking but that was good. Internet usage was not fair. Paid for one hour but the one hour was only usable for ONE day. Did not tell us that when we bought Internet time. This needs to be reviewed. No other resort does this. Still, we will return some day!
Hotel Mojito: Wonderful holiday!
Went to this resort February 11 - 19 (got an extra day due to weather in Canada.....darn!)This was a great choice for a quiet, relaxing holiday. Beaches are beautiful, pools are clean and well maintained, great bar service, food selection was impressive, a-la-cartes were so nice, you had wine service at the buffet which I did not have at another resort i had been to in the same region...I could go on and on. Of course, things are a bit dated, it's Cuba. I had a a few lukewarm showers but there w [... read more]
Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Just Ok
This hotel was run down and in need of a good paint job and some updating. The hotel lobby ripped you off on exchange and gave you rates based on the American dollar (example: for $100 Canadian you would receive 72 pesos). Snack bars changed locations daily which got confusing. The main buffet was the same every day which was boring and bland. You need to bring condiments with you as there are none available with the exception of mustard. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Great b [... read more]
Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Mediocre
The actual grounds of the resort were beautiful and well maintained. The beaches are beautiful like all the beaches in Cuba. I was surprised by how little English the resort staff were able to understand and speak. The food was basically flavourless and there was no variety from day to day. With the weather and environmental conditions I was surprised that the resort was serving canned pineapple rather than fresh. Additionally, the jacuzzi was filled with cold water rather than hot My 7 day stay [... read more]
JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Another Grand Stay at a Grand
This is our third Grand. The other two were Grand Bavaro and Grand Rose Hall. This one is just as nice as the other two. The food was better here, but the 'cool' salt water pool was a bit of a drawback. This does not mean we did not enjoy ourselves, but just wanted to note it. We were there for ten days in February 2015, and I wish I was back there now. The beach is beautiful, food was good, the staff were first rate. Can't wait till next year.
