Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Beautiful resort!

This resort was so beautiful! Can't wait to go back :) My friend that I went with, it was her 3rd time at this resort. We had a beautiful week, sunny and very hot everyday! the pools and the grounds are beautiful, well kept! The water/beach was awesome, but a lot of seaweed this time of year! The staff were mostly all friendly! Our room was good. Food was a good, we had eggs five days in a row, bacon, pancakes, pizza, pork, chicken and fish. Salad bar was good. Desserts were delicious! 24 h [... read more]our snack bar served hamburgers, hotdogs and fries. The Japanese a La Carte was amazing. The Italian was disappointing, which I was surprised because I was really looking forward to it. Activities by the pool were fun, the team was awesome! Thank you to Daniel Sann, Cleopatra, Genero, Joshua, King Kong, Pedro, Candy and everyone else that I might have missed, you all made our trip so much fun and memorable. Evening Entertainment were amazing! Girls and Guys fantastic dancers, Especially Dayron! DJ's were awesome, especially Genero! Like I said "can't wait to go back"!

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: nice resort

it was our first time in Cuba. the resort was nice, the staff were all very sweet and helpful, the hotel rooms were clean with AC, the pool was nice and clean, it had nice entertainment for families during the day as well as at night, the food was good but they had lots of flies on the food in their open buffet restaurant. this resort could properly use some food containers that has lids to avoid the flies from standing on the food.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Perfect from Start to finish.

The resort was well maintained, the room was nice and clean.The food and drinks were fantastic. The service from the staff was friendly, fast and easy going. Would highly recommend staying at this adult only resort.

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Beautiful resort

My husband and I traveled July 14th - July 21st.. A very clean hotel, the staff are friendly and very helpful. The food was above average. The beach is the most beautiful. Had an amazing time. Would suggest to everyone. We stayed in room 4222.Our room was very clean and comfortable. Air conditioning very efficient. Our cleaning ladies were exceptional. the resort, the pools and the beach area are so clean. Yes there are shortages but there is always a great selection of food and drinks.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Superb beach

The resort in general is good; the staff is friendly and the food is good. As for the rooms, the bed sheets need to be replaced; the smell of humidity in the room is strong. We have to wait too long for the elevator .

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Amazing beach!

One of the best beaches ever! Everything was great and staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and varied. The downsides were the very slow elevator. The aging and stained bed lining. The stained fabric chairs in the room. Some moisture in the bathroom. Once you overcome these elements, everything else is more than value for money.

Iberostar Grand Packard: Newish hotel

Centrally located near Prado and Park Central a short walk to old city. Unique pool overlooking harbour entrance and fort on opposite side. Good choices for breakfast buffet. Service was above standard but the hotel is showing signs of lax maintenance standards. Overall I'd give it almost 5

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Worst resort

Don't be fooled by the amazing reviews below. This is one of the worst resort to take family with kids and worst if you don't speak Spanish. I couldn't find a kettle or someone to warm up the water for my 10 month old baby. After complaining, they finally got me a coffee maker to get hot water (2 days later). Limited water bottle, one a day, so definitely bring water bottles on your trip and sometimes you don't even get them. Food was always repeated everyday and usually the same fo [... read more]r breakfast/ lunch / dinner. Almost felt like they just reheated the food. There is no such thing as 24 hour snack bar. Our flight was at 10:55am, they made us check out around 6am to be picked up by the bus for 6:25am, well the bus didnt get there til 7ish. When we went to get breakfast from 24 hours snack bar, we were told that it was closed. Bed sheets and bath towels are so dirty, felt like they used the same one again. Just use your beach towels, which is much cleaner. Unless you know Spanish, workers don't care to treat you well. Majority don't speak or understand English. So hard to ask for anything. Any time you have a question, the answer is " I don't know". Definitely won't get a tour of the place or explanation on where to go for buffet, pool, restaurant or beach. You will have to find out all on your own. Do bring mosquito repellent, super important. Black flies in the morning and Mosquito at night. The only best part of this trip, is the amazing beach and also the exterior of the hotel is beautiful Overall, worst trip and will never recommend this place to anyone.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Not up to expectations

The grounds were nicely kept but due to the lack of service, that alone turned me off. The food and rooms were a 7/10 for me. The entertaining could have been better. It wasn’t crazy busy so I would have expected better service than what we received. They had water stations set up on each room block and had glass jug for you to fill up daily but can’t bring that to beach so I would suggest bringing your water bottle to take with you as they don’t have bottles in the fridge.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Stunning Beaches

We had an amazing week at Ensenachos. The main lobby is very grand and a great place to spend time in the evening. Check in was easy and our room was ready. The 2 beaches are amazing! Staff very attentive and kind. Food and drinks were good. Resort was clean and the grounds are very beautiful.

Iberostar Coral Holguin: Amazing Time

We had a few reservations about going to Cuba with a lot of the reviews we had read, but this place had fantastic reviews. Everything was amazing from check in to check out. The Iberostar Coral Level is for adults only and is next to the Iberostar Selection which is for families. Coral Level has access to both resorts. I read a lot of reviews and they varied in their descriptions of this place. We were there from June 21 - June 28 2024 and this is what we experienced. There are 5 buildi [... read more]ngs with 12 rooms in each one. Each building has 4 Junior suites on the ends, upper floor and ground floor and they are clean and beautiful. They have a large bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, a king size bed, wall mounted TV, sitting area with a desk and chair as well as a chaise lounge and small coffee table, a large closet with lots of hangers and a safe. The AC was the best we've had anywhere. All of the rooms have two loungers on the balcony or terrace with the Junior suites also having a table and chairs. The only difference between the two is on the ground floor the shower is outside not inside. The pool is gorgeous spanning across all of the buildings. There are 20 Bali beds and 3 other semi covered structures and lots of loungers and chairs. We never had any issues with getting a Bali bed but we were there in low season. There is a swim up bar and a couple of jacuzzi tubs behind the pool bar on a terrace. The beach is shared with the Selection side but again we had no issues with finding a lounger but I would imagine it would be different at full capacity. There is a beach bar and a small grill area for hamburgers and hotdogs but is only open at certain times. There is also a larger beach across a bridge which has a small bar, washrooms and it is also where the water equipment is(paddle boats etc.). I tried snorkeling but there wasn't much to see. At the Coral Level there is a 24 hour bar and a restaurant that serves A la Carte breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every morning there were eggs, bacon, sausage, hot cakes, fresh fruit, omelets, pastries etc. At lunch there was chicken, pork and fish dishes, salads, soups, pastries etc. For dinner there were various appetizers, pork, chicken and Lobster tails which we had at every meal we ate here. Our favorite appetizer was the fried cheese with pineapple sauce, simple but oh so good. There are 3 other A la Carte restaurants at the Selection side, the Gourmet, Mediterranean and Japanese and also a buffet. We ate at the Japanese which was decent and the Gourmet which was very good. My wife had the stuffed chicken legs which she liked and I had the Cordon Bleu Pork which was fantastic, cooked absolutely perfect and I could eat it every day. The service at both was fantastic. We ate at the buffet for lunch twice, once being Cuba day where there was pork that was grilled on a spit over charcoal and it was so tasty especially the chichiron (skin). There was pizza, pasta, fresh meats and cheeses, salads, a grill station, lots of other meat and vegetable dishes, fruit, ice cream, deserts and lots of different breads. Again great service. There is also a 24 hour snack bar on the Selection side that had Ham and Cheese sandwiches, pizza, Tuna sandwiches, burgers and hotdogs with it varying day to day. We actually never ate here. The service was amazing and genuinely friendly everywhere. Sorry we can't remember everyone's name but who we can are, Carlos the pool entertainment, so friendly and energetic with a fantastic voice and a great guitar player, Alexander, Dianne(pool bar not sure if I spelled it right), Hector, all of the bar tenders, Junior, Laritza, Augusto. Everyone in the Coral Level restaurant was beyond amazing, our maid was super friendly and kept our room super clean and provided some fantastic towel art. The pool maintenance team, gardeners, life guards and front desk all again fantastic and so genuinely friendly. We don't really visit resorts twice but we cannot wait to go back.

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Beautiful Resort

This resort was more than expected! It was beautiful, clean and the staff were wonderful. The food was amazing and the choices for off property excursions was fantastic! We had a wonderful time and would come back again in a heartbeat!!! Thank you so much for making my first resort experience a great one to remember!

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Amazing resort!!

We had the best time at Iberostar Selection Esmeralda. Specifically, the staff couldn’t have been better. The entertainers (Jackson, Billy, Yaris, Alejandro and Angel). The staff in the buffet went above and beyond as well. Would highly recommend this hotel for a great time, great beach and great memories!!!

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Great resort! Great time!

My sister and I stayed at Iberostar Daiquiri Cuba June 13-20. It was my second time and even better. Great weather. The resort was so clean, the food so plentiful and varied, the à la cart restaurants were great. We even had lobster. They cleaned the pools daily and the pools were great as was the beach. Coffee at the front bar was the best.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Nice resort food was not good nor service

Just came back from this resort very stunning the resort is really big with great views the only thing I did not like was the food menu as breakfast was the same every single day and lunch dinner was different everyday though. Also staff wasn’t that helpful we wanted to order beers to the room they wouldn’t help us out also staff doesn’t speak English well so it was very big miscommunications all the time.

Also to add, the rooms had a weird smell like moldy water smell the view for the junior suite was horrible also requested for the room to be decorated for my husbands birthday and that was not done

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Nice resort

The resort is well laid-out. Lobby bar was very good at supplying the drinks we wanted, no shortages. The buffet had a good choice, so we were always able to eat to our content. The a la carte Italian and Japanese restaurants were also very good. Although it was indicated wifi throughout the resort, I was never able to logon from our room #4222. We were able to logon only in the lobby. The room was nice except they didn't wet mop the room for the full week that we were there, resulting in dirty  [... read more]floors. Also had problems with the television and remotes which they had to replace. It would be good if they sprayed the principal walkways because of the prominence of bugs. By the time I got back home, I had approximately 15 bug bites on my legs that still itch even after 5 days back home. I would recommend bringing a can of bug repellent with you when you go. The pool that was near our room was very nice and had swim-up bar and a snack bar. It was also possible to go for a long walk on the beach.

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Great resort

This has been our 4 th time to Cuba This resort is our favourite by far despite all the shortages I heard about we did not experience any The food in Cuba is always a hit and miss but there was always something to eat and it was decent they have 4 different restaurants as well to chose from which were good The staff is amazing especially the entertainment staff angel and aliandro The concierge Danny(skinny) was a huge help and can do anything for you helping on day trips or simple things y [... read more]ou may have forgotten I will return to Cuba again and this will be my first choice

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Love the Daiquiri

Resort was beautiful! Nice and small for those with younger children or for those that don't want to walk lots to get from point A to point B. Lobby was beautiful and open. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable. Beach was AMAZING. Lots of chairs and shade. Food was good but flies were terrible!! Staff were so friendly especially the lady working the beach bar...knew our name by her next shift. I would 100% recommend this hotel for a relaxing vacation. Look forward to going back again soon!
