Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Good

Our room was great, the bottled water is very inconvenient but not bad. The grounds are beautiful and the birds at the buffet are really nice. For such a nice place the people painting are making a huge mess a the walkways making it very unattrective. The beach is great and the pools are good…kids love the water park.food is good and drinks are tasty. I would go back

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun: Amazing Resort

We had an amazing 10 day stay. We have no complaints at all. Our daily room service was amazing. Always lots of towels; sheets were changed daily. The food was great…lots of choices. There were never any shortages. The pool area was clean and appealing. There was no seaweed on the beach during our stay (Feb 23 to March 5). We would certainly return.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Very nice Resort

The resort was wonderful. The check in process was smooth and painless and we were shown to our room by a bellboy. The room itself was large and very spacious with a nice balcony overlooking palm trees. The mini bar was stocked daily with 4 cans of beer, 4 pop bottles and a can of sparkling water. On every floor there was a water fountain from where one could refill the water bottle kept in the room. Ice dispensers were readily accessible. The bathroom rain shower was fantastic and the bathroom  [... read more]was well stocked with plenty of towels and toiletries. The resort had a couple of swimming pools which were nicely laid out. The food was amazing with such a huge variety to satisfy even the pickiest eater. Best of all were the bars where you had to hardly wait for a cocktail to be served. In addition, no matter where you sat - out in the gazebo, in the lobby or the pool - there were always waiters circling around asking you if you needed a drink. Even on the beach, servers always came by asking if you needed a drink. Very convenient. We especially enjoyed the daily lunches that were cooked on the beach on an open fire. The paella that I had here on the beach was probably the tastiest paella that I've eaten. The specialty restaurants were nice although honestly one could get better food in the buffets. There was no shortage of lounge chairs on the beach - which was a pleasant surprise as this has been a beef of mine at other resorts, where you either had to wake up very early to grab a lounge chair or wait till someone left and you got their chair. The entertainment got to be monotonous as every day there were the same dancers albeit in different costumes. But the dance moves were all the same and after day 3, one lost all interest. During the karaoke session, the backing track volume levels were so high as to almost drown out the singers. Also the schedule laid out on the Iberostar app as well as displayed on the notice boards was seldom adhered to. As soon as "shaggy" had enough people around, he would begin the tournament. This was not fair to those that came in time for the tournament and were disappointed. Shaggy should exhibit more professional conduct and should be aware of the times posted so he can stick to the times and not to his own schedule. A dart tournament that was supposed to start at 11:30am was almost finished by 11:10am. Twice I landed up at the correct time only to find that the tournament had finished. Venues were also incorrectly labelled as "At the Beach" whereas in fact it was outside the Bohio bar and not the beach. The confusing this is that there was also a dartboard set up on the beach. Maybe once upon a time they used to have the dart tournament on the beach. The table tennis was not even mentioned anywhere yet there was supposedly a tournament held daily. Another resident told me this. At the archery tournament, I found that the bow was designed only for right handed folks whereas I am left handed. Hope the resort corrects this so laft handers can also enjoy some archery. But overall we had an amazing time and were glad we chose this resort. If I were to offer a few suggestions, they would be as follows: 1. If you advertise a time for an event, please stick to it. 2. During Karaoke evenings, ensure that the volume of the backing track is such so as to not drown out the singer's voice. 3. Have a few more coffee machines at the restaurants so we don't have to wait in a line up every time. 4. Have more variety in the entertainment, not the same dancers every day. For example a magic show, or diffent dancers, or impersonators or a musical show. When one sees the same old dancers every day, one loses interest.

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun: Could be great

The Staff go above and beyond to make you happy. We loved the food. No reservations required. The Buffet was great. The rooms were OK. The bathroom sinks are very high and set back too far. The shower has a hand held and a rain shower. The toilet is low for us seniors. A handrail would be nice. The pool at our building #3 had no stairs to walk into the pool. Only ladders with 3 steps. Should be 4 steps. Trouble getting in and out of the pool. Walk in available at pool #4 but no handrails. Evenin [... read more]g entertainment was hit and miss. A piano bar would be nice. Or a sports bar. We had a good time but would not go back until some changes are made.

Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun: Fabulous Hotel Iberostar Selection and Coral in Cancun

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest & Detailed Review We really enjoyed our February 5–12, 2026 holiday overall. The property itself is beautiful, and the beach is absolutely stunning — incredibly wide, soft sand, and wonderful for swimming. It is one of the nicest beaches we have experienced. Our family stayed at Iberostar Selection, while we chose Iberostar Coral for the Concierge service. We spent our days together on the Selection side, often renting cabanas, which we loved — both with and without them. Th [... read more]e Coral section is definitely more elevated in feel. The rooms were fabulous, the views were breathtaking, and housekeeping and room service were very good. (A lighter room service option, such as a chicken club sandwich, would be a nice addition for late evenings when you don’t want a full meal.) The buffet was good, with some enjoyable themed evenings — the Asian night was particularly delicious. That said, after six days of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it does become somewhat repetitive. The casual beach bar menu was very limited (hamburgers, chicken nuggets, and fries only), though the more formal beachside restaurant was very nice for lunch. The à la carte restaurant experience, unfortunately, was disappointing. We were informed that policy had changed either just before or during our stay. Unless you were an Iberostar “Member” (which involves attending a 2–4 hour membership presentation), reservations were not being accepted. We were advised by Concierge to line up early when the restaurants opened to attempt booking later dining times (7:00 or 8:00 pm). We did so multiple nights and were turned away each time, often rather abruptly. The Japanese restaurant was the only one we managed to try — the food was acceptable, though the temperature inside was uncomfortably cold. This created inconsistency and confusion, as some guests were able to reserve while others were not. From what we understood, there were a number of similar complaints during that particular week. Guests who had visited in January 2026 or earlier did not appear to encounter these issues. The Concierge service at Coral was friendly but felt limited. Our previous experience at Dreams Resorts & Spas set a very high standard — concierge there were readily accessible and truly went above and beyond. At Coral, interactions felt more desk-based and transactional. We were frequently approached regarding the Membership presentation, and attention seemed to diminish once it was known we were not interested. That dynamic was noticeable. All that said, the overall resort environment is lovely enough that our family would happily return — even if dining remained buffet-focused. My son and daughter-in-law even commented that the food and beach surpassed the luxury resort they visited for their honeymoon nearby. For us personally, whether we return will depend on how the à la carte and membership dynamics evolve, as that aspect did affect the overall relaxation experience. We might choose to stay at the Selection next time and simply upgrade our room. I remain somewhat torn — time will tell! Enjoy your holiday! Additional Notes: The Selection Ocean View with Balcony rooms were very nice. The bathrooms were somewhat oddly shaped and slightly dated, but overall acceptable, especially given how lovely the beach, pools, and layout are. If adults-only is important, Coral is worth it for the generous, updated rooms. We participated in the hotel’s complimentary 30-minute photo shoot offer. Photos were $20 USD each to download, with package options available.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Enjoyable resort

Enjoyed size of resort. Very clean. Nice room. Liked water stations. Enjoyed food. Hated the wine. Nice pool. Was windy so beach water was a little weedy. Friendly staff. Unfortunately I got sick o third night of stay which resulted in my being in bed for 30 hours. Then had to eat limited bland food and not drink for most of the rest of my stay. Two days later, my husband was also violently sick and spent the day in bed and couldn’t eat or drink much the rest of the trip with low energ [... read more]y. We didn’t get to partake of the Japanese or Italian restaurants due to illness

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Great resort!

We just loved it! Everything about this place is great for a nice vacation. The beach, gardens, pool, food, room etc were all great! Staff were very nice and helpful, all service was great. The cherry on top were the birds and animals in the gardens, which we enjoyed a lot! Can’t wait to go back!

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Good experience

The hotel was clean, staff were friendly, buffet had variety. It was a good resort for a quick getaway. Close to the airport. Entertainment was weak compared to other resorts I’ve visited comparing to Mexico.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Our favourite resort!

This resort offers everything and more! The food, entertainment, pools, waterslides, wave pool, activities, landscaping, wildlife and staff are all amazing! The drinks are delicious and the buffets have so many choices! We are going back for the 3rd time!

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great Resort

Great hotel and atmosphere. We also had great weather! Entertainment was really good and we always had great service! I would definitely recommend this hotel and location to future people who want to travel. It was worth the price!

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun: We all had an amazing vacation

Tammy from trip central went over and above to help our group of 11 book our vacation The staff at every level on the resort went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful time Jorge with the entertainment crew had everyone on their feet and in the pool…Silva our pool server was outstanding always bringing drinks with a smile Soni was a huge help with any question we may of had The only draw back is there is no walking beach however there is 5 pools and chairs for everyone

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: good place to visit

The staff at the resort were very friendly and helpful. The pool and beach areas were terrific with plenty of sun loungers for all. I was disappointed with the lack of food variety on the buffets especially at lunch time. The ala carte restaurants were good. I would recommend the resort, but with a stipulation about the lack of variety for the food.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: Excellent resort

The service, food, and overall condition of the resort, pool and beach were all excellent. We were not disappointed at all despite the economic conditions in Cuba at the time. There was nothing we went without the whole time we were there and had an amazing trip. Would definitely recommend this resort.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Good enough

Pros: The service is superb. The beach and ocean here is beautiful. The staff was all really great to deal with. Cons: hotel is old. Rooms are small for the price. Entertainment was sub par. Overall expensive for what you get so I think there are better resorts.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: An Outstanding Experience at Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero

Where do I even begin with this outstanding experience at Iberostar? We booked an oceanfront room and it was truly right on the beach. Waking up every single morning to the sound and view of the ocean was absolutely magical. Stepping outside and being just a few steps from the sand felt like a dream. We also upgraded to the Prestige experience, and it was worth every penny. Having access to the exclusive restaurant on the 11th floor was a highlight. The massive rooftop offers breathtaking  [... read more]ocean views on both sides, such a spectacular setting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For Cuba, I would honestly call it a seven star dining experience. The food at Prestige was that good. The three à la carte restaurants, Cuban, Japanese, and Italian, were also excellent. The quality truly impressed us. Even the house wine surprised me, it was really, really good. Housekeeping was impeccable. Our room was spotless every day, and we never lacked anything. The staff throughout the resort were warm, smiling, and genuinely kind. You feel welcomed everywhere you go, from the restaurants to the cappuccino station, yes, they even had my favorite cappuccino. The beach is probably one of the nicest I have ever experienced. Thanks to Alex, who handled our booking and told us we could walk the beach for long stretches, we enjoyed beautiful daily walks along the shoreline. It was stunning. The pool area was perfect for us. There were activities, but not too many, just enough to keep things lively without being overwhelming. There is a section for children, but during our stay there were not many, so the overall atmosphere remained calm and relaxing. Another thing that stood out: so many guests we met were on their second, third, even fourth visit. After experiencing it ourselves, we completely understand why. The price to value ratio is exceptional. If you are looking for a five star hotel in Cuba, with great food, friendly staff, a stunning beach, and only about 15 minutes from the airport, this is the place to be. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Iberostar Coral Ensenachos: Wonderful Adults only Getaway with Incredible staff

Fantastic experience from start to finish. This is our second time here and will be back. If you are looking for a relaxing, adults - only escape in Cuba with beautiful beaches and exceptional service, this is the place.

Iberostar Coral Ensenachos: Will return to this Coral Gem!

❤️We just returned from a fantastic holiday in Cuba. Special thanks to the amazing team at Iberostar Coral Enchenachos Cayo Santa Maria who went beyond expectations daily to make our holiday exceptional. Bar staff. Restaurant staff. Poolside staff. Housekeeping staff. Butler staff. Management staff. Coral is a small, quiet adults only resort with dedicated professional personalized service. Special shout outs to Yunily at Playa Enchenachos Bar, Yasser at the Main Lobby Bar, Randy at the Main B [... read more]each Restaurant and every member of the tremendous team at Coral. Yosmanny, Levon, Yahimi, Yohanny, Jackie, Alberto, Hector, William, Anier, Dismar, Diana, and Yandry are some names that come to mind. There are too many exemplary staff to remember all the names! This is a lovely, peaceful resort on a gorgeous stretch of sandy beach. Our suite was massive and we really enjoyed our private hot tub on the back deck. Daily maid service and nightly turn down service with fresh beach towels was greatly appreciated. The pools, walkways and grounds are beautifully maintained. New furniture arrived for the Coral lobby and dining room. Upgrades and repairs are constantly underway. A La Carte Restaurants at Selection are under renovation. We enjoyed our menu meal service in the Coral restaurant, poolside and beachside. Our vacation ended with a wonderful send off by the entertainment team. We were sad to leave these extremely kind, generous, hardworking, and very appreciative people. We will return when flights resume to Cuba. If you like a quiet resort with personalized service, I recommend Iberostar Coral Enchenachos!

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun: Amazing resort!

Great and friendly staff! Very many activities across the resort. Staff are always around to play mini games, offer you a drink or invite you to different activities. Incredibly good kitchen, with a wide variety of food. The menu theme changes every day, but a lot of items remain the same. Overall we liked it very much!
