JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Another WOW Vacation at Iberostar-Grand Rose Hall

For the second year in a row, my daughter and I travelled to Montego Bay Jamaica and had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Iberostar - Grand Rose Hall location. While the weather in Montego Bay left a little to be desired the week we were there, the staff and facilities continued to be absolutely outstanding! This has to be THE CLEANEST and best maintained resort I have ever stayed at. The staff are always ready, willing and available to not only assist with your needs but to check in on a [... read more]n ongoing basis and to make suggestions about how they might make their guest stay even MORE enjoyable than it already is. Our butler Steven (with us both years) was amazing and is one of the reasons we look forward to returning next year! The food was outstanding both in the beach front buffet restaurant and in each of the a la carte restaurants we attend. Of special note for us was the surf and turf meal and the meals at the Japanese and Gourmet restaurants.....something everyone must experience! If you are reading this review, please give very serious consideration to vacationing here. You will Never regret the decision!!!

Iberostar Waves Tucan: Beautiful, Relaxing, "Excelente" resort!

We loved this resort...everything from check in to check out was fantastic. (Traveled January 24-31 2015 with husband, grandma and daughters ages: 13, 14, 17.) We were looking for a relaxing family vacation in the sun, and this resort does well to provide that. We especially appreciated the jungle with wildlife, and the comfortable laid back atmosphere. The grounds and decor are gorgeous, and although not necessarily a ritzy or party type resort, (pleased because we weren't looking for that) we  [... read more]all had so much fun. There are several daily activities planned and implemented by the Star Friends with something to satisfy all ages. These energetic Star Friends go above and beyond to greet you individually, and make you feel welcome. ALL of the staff went out of their way to make our vacation a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The entire resort is immaculately clean, rooms are adequate (we stayed in Quetzal basic), service is excellent, drinks and food are plentiful and appetizing. Anything regarding food or drink was honoured whenever possible. All requests or concerns we had were handled with professionalism and care. They are very accommodating with everything you ask. Every employee was friendly and helpful and they were ALWAYS working hard. The beach is absolutely perfect!

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Nice resort

Very large resort. Disappointed with towel service for our room. We had no towels for 2 days after repeated requests. Also, no water for 2 days due to major pipe bursting. Front desk staff not very helpful. Bank closed for 6 days with no money at the front desk to change. Ground keepers and pool/beach were very helpful and very nice.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Amazing vacation

The Iberostar hotel and the staff that work there were amazing. They went out of their way to please you. The service, food, entertainment, spa and the beach were wonderful. We will definitely return again.

Iberostar Origin Tainos: Underrated resort

My husband & I stayed at Iberostar Tainos from January 23rd to 30th, 2015. I can’t say much for the weather (it was windy, cool and cloudy for the most part) but, overall, we were very happy with our choice of resort. We travelled with my elderly mother & her friend so we were hoping for someplace quiet, intimate and compact. I’d say we found it. The resort itself was well maintained, conveniently laid out and had all the amenities that one would expect for a facility of this size. Our bung [... read more]alow room was clean and spacious (although a coffee maker & a clock radio would not go amiss here); the bed comfortable. The pool was central, adequately sized and surrounded by an adequate number of chaises. The beach was lovely – broad with lots of palapas to go around. The buffet was, as is often the case in Cuba, merely adequate. We were all, however, rather impressed by the quality of the a la Cartes (both Creole and Japanese). And the daily lunchtime barbeque by the pool, with a little mini-buffet and great Cuban music to aid the digestion was also a favourite. In truth, the best part of Ibertostar Tainos??? The people. The lobby and front desk staff were top drawer – helpful, warm and possessed of a great sense of humour. The maids were great and the wait staff at the pool bar (Julio, George & Maybi) really made us feel at home. I’d recommend this place to my friends on that basis alone.

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Great Resort

We really enjoyed the Grand Iberostar Paraiso. The food, location, staff and shows were all excellent. Victor in the Italian Restaurant was very understanding of my dietary needs and Michael was great at being interactive with everyone around the pool and at the lobby bar.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: awesome

Excellent place to visit a had a very good time there the staff is terrific recommend for families and couples food is also very good rooms are average for the price I think is worth it beach is super clean I will be back

Hotel Mojito: Great vacation

The only drawback to this hotel is that rooms do not have balconies. Otherwise, great clean resort, well maintained. As for food, the usual, although desserts were great. However, as with all the Cuban resorts we have encountered (over 20) - poor food. Choices for diabetics (no whole grain bread, sweetened yoghurt, etc) . The extensive boardwalks were great for walking when it was high tide and the beach was flooded. At low tide the beach is amazing. Especially nice resort for children.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Within Expectations

Our first time in Cuba. Not a bad experience. Staff are friendly. Beach is lovely. Food was not amazing, and we didn't expect it to be. We were lucky to get an ocean-view room. The room itself was clean, although the shower smelled a little musty on day 1. The mini fridge is not filled daily, which was surprising.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Wonderful resort in all aspects!

Truly an excellent time in all regards! The staff stand out as very friendly and outgoing; especially the entertainment staff. Always busy but never too busy to stop and talk with you. The dining and buffet experiences were a highlight. Loved the arrangement of hotel rooms, close to everything. Have already told friends and will certainly do a return visit.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Nice family vacation

The food is good, the resort is nice, but the security was not the best and lighting at night is very poor. The staff was great, helpful and extremely friendly! The on sight entertainment is expensive. 30 $ per person for bananboat, 85$ per person to parasail and a 1 hour training to sailboat at 45$ and only one 1 hour ride per day. The star friends are extremely good at engaging everyone and the nightly entertainment is good. Fire show is the best!!! Must go to the Cigar bar and see Kimone, the [... read more] best and most patient bartender! Ask for her special shot....worth the visit even if you don`t smoke!!! She was our groups favourite staff member by far! I have stayed at 3 star resorts to 5 star resorts and expected more from an Iberostar. The facilities did not live up to their reputation. Had electrical issues in all 3 rooms our group had to charge our electronics and had a lot of locals on beach trying to sell you stuff all the time.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Great Vacation!

First of all I must thank Jenn Black from Trip Central for all her help!! She was bang on! This was a beautiful resort. Very helpful and pleasant staff, food was very good! The pool, beach area, grounds were just amazing! Too bad it couldn't be a non smoking resort! We will be back!! Oh and we got engaged while we were there!! SUPER VACATION!!

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Amazing Resort!

This resort is all about service. They go above and beyond from the moment you get there. Our room was nice but did not have much of a view. On day 5 they offered us a ocean front room for the remainder of our stay at no extra cost which was inceredible. We ate at all of the a la cartes and the food was really good. The alcohol is all top of the line stuff and most beer is served in the bottle. The butler service was a nice touch and the concierge is always available to assist with ANY questions [... read more]. The beach is amazing but we spent the majority of our time around the pool. Wi-Fi is strong around the entire hotel. Weather was great all week. Highlights: The golf course is amazing and included with your stay at the Grand. Only cost is club rental. It is also all-inclusive on the course which was great. The spa pool is amazing and there is also a great fitness centre and decongestant steam room which was really nice. A big thanks to all the staff including Fanni and Charley who I enjoyed talking with. The ENTERTAINMENT staff do a amazing job all day trying to keep everyone involved in the activities. If you are asked to fill out a review card make sure you give these guys the best score as possible as they deserve it.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Great stay! Jan 18-25

The hotel was fabulous. The rooms were very clean and actually up to date. Staff were fabulous... Good was great (Ya that's right). Beach was beautiful and there was decent snorkelling off the beach and around the Boardwalk. The tide did take a while to go out but worth the wait... Pool was ok but we didn't use it. Nelson in the Buffett was a gem! Lobby bar staff were also fabulous. No complaints with Hotel staff. We did find it strange that rooms that were not superiour (we had an ocean v [... read more]iew superior room which was amazing) needed to pay 2 CUC a day for a safe. Go, enjoy... Only if you want a quiet and relaxing vacay!

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Needs some upgrades!!

Great staff, but resort needs to upgrade and pay attention to detail. Lights weren't on , on pathways at night and food was mediocre; some head chefs to monitor what is put out would help. Accommodations were good, but beach area was very narrow and crowded at high tide.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Good Resort

Very clean, spacious rooms, beautiful beaches and pools (two of each, each one busy for families and one quite for adults). Good entertainment. Food is not the best, after a few days I got a little tired of egg omelet every morning and especially the line ups around freshly cooked food, like fish, pasta or fruit shakes...the rest was just not the best...overall good, easy stay...like most the all inclusive ones!

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: GREAT VACATION!!!! worth every penny

We booked at the iberostar suites but to our pleasant surprise, we were upgraded to the GRAND!!! This by far was the best resort experience. The customer service was amazing... The food was AMAZING...the decor and cleanliness was perfect.....the pools, the beach and the spa were beautiful! I enjoyed everything about iberostar grand rose hall...I will refer it to everyone I know and plan on returning to this luxury life!! Special thanks to the staff and to our amazing butlers Tafari and Donovan!

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Good Resort

The grounds were very well kept; the people were very nice; the beach was good; the food at the buffet was average, not enough variety; and the food at the al a carte was not good at all! Two members of our group were ill.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Fantastic Resort with amazing food and activities!

This is the most modern up-to-date resort I have ever visited...eg. WIFI everywhere - rooms, restaurants, pool areas, all included. Extremely clean and well kept. The pool area is clean with plenty of chairs and shade and the beach also has lots of chairs and umbrellas with help to put them where you wish to sit. Also the beach is clean and we walked and ran it daily (5 k). Many people playing in the waves. The food and service was excellent with various restaurants so never boring. The staff ar [... read more]e more than helpful with any question or request. Various bars with entertainment and shows gave us great nightly entertainment! On a 5-star scale this is a 10-star resort!!! Will be returning!

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Overall good vacation for the value

This resort beach front is truly amazing! The beach is absolutely beautiful with soft white sand and turquiose water and the tide goes out daily so you can walk out in the ocean quite a distance and you can go for very long walks on the beach! The food and the room are good not excellenet but you always can find something to eat we had no issues with getting sick and the rooms were clean and we stayed in a renovated room therefore the water pressure was excellent. The resort is small therefore t [... read more]here is no long waits at the buffet and you could always find a place on the beach. We truly enjoyed our vacation and the value was excellent for the price of our vacation. I would say the this resort is a "true" 4 Star Resort and the service is excellent the staff go above and beyond to meet the high needs of the customer. Thank-you Iberostar Daiquiri staff for making our vacation very memorable we would definately come back to this resort and would recommend to others
