Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Beautiful resort!!

All of the grounds are very well cared for, all of the main areas, and washrooms were always clean. The food was very good and the staff very helpful. The entertainment at night was enjoyable, the lighting and sound were good as well.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: A week on paradise island

The hotel and grounds we beautiful and lovingly maintained. Food amazing and broad selection. Evening entertainment had variety and many talented performers. Staff were friendly and helpful, daily activities were fun, with no pressure to participate. Lots of areas inside and out to enjoy relaxation time with family. The perfect vacation my family needed to recharge!

Iberostar Waves Tucan: A resort in the midst of the jungle - Awesome

There are 2 resorts in one - the Tucan and the Quetzal both equally beautiful with and it isn't difficult to get lost in the jungle sights and sounds between them with the natural vegetation, running water and wildlife which includes peacocks, agouti, coati and howler monkeys. The food is good and the service was excellent. We met many people who have returned to this resort and I wouldn't hesitate to again however, not at this time of the year - maybe a month later as it was the rainy season an [... read more]d we did experience that. We had rain 5 of the 9 days there. I slipped on the stairs and unfortunately broke a bone in my leg on day 5. The resort staff were excellent particularly guest services representative Taskia and the resort doctor - Lucia. The hospital experience was also very good - we spend 3 hours there and the cost for xrays, consultation and casting (waterproof so I could still swim) was $1,200 US. The doctor (Dr. Corona-Gomez) was very thorough making a cut up the front of the cast to allow for any swelling on the plane home and providing me with anticoagulants to take before & after the flight to avoid a blood clot. Despite the fracture, we still had a very positive experience and would definitely go back again!! A hats off to Berenice & Laura of the Star Friends group!

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: still very nice but needs upkeep

I like it mainly for the location between two gorgeous beaches. The resort is quite nice too and the grounds and gardens are well kept. However, since I have gone there several years I now notice degraded upkeep in for example path lighting (half of them broken), mold on tiles in the room, when I switched on the patio outdoor light one night, the whole place went dark! Instead of tripping the breaker in the room, it tripped the building's breaker. I must say that it only took about 5 min for the [... read more] repair man to show up after I called the front desk.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Best Resort we have been to so far.

Everything was great. The staff is very friendly. First day the food was not that good but for the rest of the days, the food was quite good. The only beef I have about the resorts is that smoking is allowed everywhere. They should start thinking about having designated smoking areas or non-smoking areas.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: Beautiful and contained

If you want to go somewhere to veg out, eat and drink all you want, lay by the pool and/or the beach, in a clean, safe, meticulously maintained place, and have more recreational activities than you can participate in, (from water exercise, to nightly entertainment) you can be sure you'll have all that here. The staff are over the top -- efficient and friendly. It's also easy not to see how difficult most Cuban's lives are; we tipped at every meal, and if you go off the resort, I call it legal be [... read more]gging; you might want to bring lots of pesos to tip everywhere on any excursion.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Loved It

Really enjoyed our stay at this resort. The facilities were very nice, clean, and well maintained. The resort is very spread out but with all the beautiful mature grounds it made it feel more secluded and private. We were located in Bldg 40 which gave us a short walk to either beach and the pool but the lobby and buffet were a long way away. The staff was very welcoming and accomodating and although the food was not the greatest it seemed to be improving as the week went on as the resort was gea [... read more]ring up for their high season. Room was very spacious, loved the walk in closet and the huge bathroom.

Hotel Mojito: A luxurious experience

Clean, felt so looked after, felt like being on a large 5 star plantation. rooms were clean quiet great mattresses, staff went out of their way to make my comfortable. People so friendly you could sit down anywhere and feel welcome

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Amazing !!!

Amazing resort right from the time you check in. We upgraded our room to ocean front - was worth every cent. The facility is beautiful and the views amazing. everything was very clean - rooms and facility. As far as food - our culinary experience was exceptional - buffets and the al a cartes. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Excellent resort!

Really nice resort, well maintained and updated, and giving the cozy, welcoming feeling. Staff was really nice, just there to ensure you are having a good time without being overbearing. Just right. The grounds were not too large to need a ride from one end to the other and spacious enough to not feel overcrowded. Again, a good balance. Food was good, and varied.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Great Resort, Not So Good Food

The resort grounds and beach were amazing! The rooms were good, everything worked except the water pressure wasn't the best. The Japanese and International A La Cartes were awesome, Cuban not so great being outside with bugs and birds. The Buffet was okay, the same everyday, which got boring but you don't go to Cuba expecting great food. Definitely recommend going on snorkeling right off the beach. The catamaran takes you out to the coral reef for a 1 hour snorkeling for 15 pesos a person.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Beautiful Resort with outstanding staff

The Hotel was beautiful. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Very hard to get money from hotel (no ATM). The beaches and water was something else. I have not experience such beauty in all my other travels/destinations. The food was what I was told it would be however I did manage to gain 5 pounds so take it from there.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Fantastic Staff and Beautiful Beach

My friend and I stayed at the Laguna Azul in mid-February. The staff are lovely and rush to assist you. The beach is clean and beautiful. The food is okay, fairly staandard quality for Cuba, but does get boring after a week. Some of the rooms are very badly maintained and we had to switch our room afte the first day. Our major issue was finding a few cockroaches here and there (including a restaurant and our room) and the lack of sufficient air-conditioning in a few of the locations. Overall, it [... read more] was worth the money we paid adn we had a restful holiday.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Great family resort!!

Went solo with my two kids, aged 13 (boy) and 6 year old girl...a kind of last minute chance to relax...the beach is the prettiest I've ever laid eyes on. The pools we clean and well maintained. The kids pool had the perfect sized slides and play structures for kids under 10....I actually got a giggle from going down one or two of them!! The service was amazing!! The entertainment staff was the best, the endlessly played games or danced, plus they always knew your names in the evening at the sho [... read more]w, my kids really loved this!! The ladies who do the kids activities were simply amazing, their love of kids shows...the Friday night fantasy show was cute and well performed...plus have me a 3 hour break as they rehearsed and went for lunch!!! The hotel itself was very well kept and maintained. The rooms were well equipped and clean, all our needs were met!! The only downside would have to be the food, lots of choice, and presented nicely, but sadly most of it fell below expectations....I think the trick was to stick with the "local" fare, they seemed to shine in that aspect. Breakfast was always good...best donuts ever!! Lunch was good too, lots of choice. Dinner had lots of choice, grilling stations were tasty. Desserts were yummy!! I can't speak of the a la cartes, I only did one, the Japanese and it was tasty and a nice show!! We stuck to the Buffett to give my kids the choices! I'd go back in a heart beat for the staff....and of course the beach!!!!

Iberostar Waves Tucan: Great resort with jungle

We had a great time for at this resort for ten days. It was great to visit with the animals in the jungle and cool off at the same time. The food at the buffet was the best we've encountered in any resort, and the trays were constantly replaced or refilled. There were many activities offered by the resort (from archery to zumba), and the staff were enthusiastic and friendly. The ocean there is reasonably clean and the swimming was great there and in the pool. The rooms were made up nicely every  [... read more]day and the mini bar was well serviced. Just one suggestion for the buffet would be to increase the heat lamps to keep the great food hotter.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Had a great time!

I've been to a few resorts and this one is comparable to most resorts. The food was excellent, I never had an issue finding something yummy to eat. The beds were super comfortable compared to some resorts that are rock hard. The entertainment team in my opinion is what made this resort. They were SO friendly and fun. Cupcake, Smiley and Angel made our trip a blast! They are such wonderful people and we miss them already. The ocean was warmer then the pool. Out of the three Iberostars we had the  [... read more]nicest beach, however the thing I think could improve with this resort is the cleaning of the beach. It was not raked daily and there was sea weed on the shore in the sand. This was a small resort which depending on what you like could be a good or bad thing. It's easy to find people if your in a larger group. If your heading to this resort no worries you will have a good time! :)

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Would definitely go back!

This was our first time in Jamaica and chose the Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Hotel since it was only 20 minutes from the airport. The hotel was beautiful and kept very clean. The beach was sandy and no rocks at all. Further down at the Iberostar Suite and Grand the beach and water is very rocky. The food was great and lots of selection. Only went to 2 of the nightly shows in the theatre but both were excellent.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Out standing place we will back again

We have have been to a lot of places and country's.But to are surprise we so happy and I very impressed with the resort. People were very friendly, the room was great! We had a great time,we will be back agian

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: Very nice resort

Grounds are beautiful, although spread out, lots of walking. Food was very good, service was fine. Rooms were kept meticulously! Not my favourite but if the price was right I'd go again. We had a great vacation!

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Favourite resort

A true 5 star resort! Excellent service from staff. Beautiful lobby, well decorated. There is even a separate bar lounge with a piano player. Also a cigar lounge next to cigar store. Restaurants discreetly tucked away. Fabulous seafood restaurant located near beach. Amazing beaches, clear turquoise water, fine white sand, can walk long distances. Tropical fish near rock formation at Ensenachos beach. Rooms are in 2 storey buildings, entrance to room in a courtyard. Vestibule in room, walk in clo [... read more]set, very large bathroom in marble with separate shower and bath. Bedroom immaculate, tastefully decorated, white duvets available, in closet.
