Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: A great hotel

I haven't been to an all inclusive for a few years. I was very impressed with the all inclusive bracelets - never having to remember your key. Loved the water dispensary. The hotel was very clean, the staff - outstanding . However, I didn't understand the crazy spa prices and having to pay for pinot grigio. Loved the pools and location. Loved Jamaica night set outside on the beach. Definitely a 5 star.

Iberostar Waves Dominicana: Amazing Resort

I have come back to this resort three times. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the people are so friendly and happy to help you. The food was amazing, the drinks were delicious and the pools are fabulous and well maintained! I would definitely return. The only thing I feel this resort needs to do is upgrade the rooms and bathrooms.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Everything as it should be

Hotel grounds and buildings are well kept. Good overall value. Decent quality and variety of food. Loved not having to worry about finding decent chairs. Lots of beach chairs and pool chairs with shade. Great beach and great terrace bar overlooking beach. Decent entertainment.

Iberostar Selection Riviera Cancun: Everything we hoped for and more!

This was our first time at an Iberostar resort and we were very impressed. The buildings and grounds are immaculate and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The food was beyond our expectations: the buffet was incredible and the restaurants were all very good. Our favourite was the Spanish one, followed by Carribean. The décor and acoustics at the Italian restaurant could be improved. The coffee bar in the lobby is terrific -- and almost made up for the very mediocre coffee at the buffe [... read more]t. We also enjoyed the pizza place, the lunchtime burger cart and the ice cream stand. The rooms are large and well laid out, and all of them have balconies that are nicely furnished. The pools are endless. As everyone has noted, the beach is very narrow, with a lot of sargassam seaweed and it's hard to walk out due to the rocky bottom. However, the view is great, there are lots of lounge chairs and palapas available, the breeze blows constantly, and it's wonderfully quiet. The resort seems to appeal mostly to young families and couples. Everyone was friendly, quiet, happy and relaxed. It was exactly the vacation we were looking for. We wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Awesome vacation

Our family (2 adults, 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son) stayed at the Iberostar Paraiso Lindo in early March 2026. We had an amazing time and loved the resort. Vibrant pool scene, kids loved the water slides and we spent hours in the lazy river. We also enjoyed just walking around the complex, there’s a lot to see. The food was good overall, good selection and availability (seemed to be food and a bar around every corner in the afternoons). The room was fine, not super fancy but very cle [... read more]an and functional. Entertainment was the best I’ve seen with live singers and not just lip syncing like you see at some other resorts. We are already planning our return!

Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus: Loved it!

This was our second time to this resort in as many years. The plusses: All staff and workers very friendly and helpful, without exception. The resort was clean and rooms well stocked. We are beach people and enjoyed the abundant sandy beach. It was groomed and cleaned daily. There was an abundant supply of lounges and palapas, both on the beach and around the pool. We had tried the a la carte dining on previous trip but stuck with the buffet restaurant this time around. The food was quite [... read more] varied and plentiful. In the one week we were there we probably sampled only 25% of offerings. There were many families with toddlers the week we were there. Both outdoor and indoor and indoor play areas were available. Live music was provided evenings in the main building as well as outside the buffet restaurant. I would have liked the volume turned down a bit. But that's just me. The only drawback for us was with our tour provider who only flew into Punta Cana, making for a 1hr bus ride to the resort. We enjoyed our week in the sun. Will likely return.

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Relax and enjoy food and beach and pool

Staff wonderful. Food plentiful and tasty - many plant based options which we enjoyed a lot. Beach was small with rocky access (bring water shoes) and snorkeling from the dock. Beach walk 1+km each way. Weather 30+C each day with some showers overnight. Rooms were clean, beds comfy and close to beach/pool and restaurants. No stairs. Have brand name liquor and dos equois beer. Small resort so quiet and relaxed for couples and families. Many activities if you want to on beach and in pool. Dive sh [... read more]op on premise with many boat loads of divers and snorkelers all day. Trips from resort by boat and 4x4 ranging from U$80-140 per day. Will go back.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Lovely Resort

We have been coming to this resort twice a year since 2018. It’s obvious we love the resort. The pool area and hallway areas are in need of some upgrades. The tiles in the hallways are old and many are discoloured. The outdoor walkways need a little repair to make them safer as they aren’t level and I have seen people with wheelchairs having challenges getting over when unlevel; just need some cement to join the unlevel walkways. Food and service is excellent and cooks and wait staff are ext [... read more]remely helpful and friendly. We are not fans of the à la carte restaurants and do not attend them anymore. The beach snack bar and the buffet restaurants are wonderful. Rooms are ok but need some brightening up. Bathroom showers tend to flood unless you take out the strainer plug entirely. Minibars need to include diet options for those that are diabetic or just cannot drink sugar drinks. They used to have them but our last 2 visits only had full sugar drinks and beer. We will return again in December as we have been advised that they are closing for 2 months to do major repairs and upgrades.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: My 3rd visit

Still enjoyed my 3rd visit to the property. Food was excellent. Accommodation predictable and good. Golf course terrific! Staff very friendly as always. Weird shower design. There is nothing to stop the water on the shower floor going into the rest of the bathroom. Had to use towels to dam up the water. It was the same in 2009. Nothing changed?

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: HONEST OPINION

This hotel was large enough to keep us engaged but not so large as to overwhelm us with large crowds. We had a swim access pool room that was recently painted, with a recently tiled private patio, with trellis screening; only 8 feet from a newly installed pool. This was our haven. We could venture out to the beach, enjoy dinner or hang out at the main pool but when we tired of having others around, we could retreat to our quiet oasis. The beach was raked clean and long enough to enjoy walkin [... read more]g in either direction. There were two associated adjacent hotels that we could venture to that provided some shopping, though a little more variety of goods would have been nice. The food was good, with the exception of breakfast sausages that were hotdog wieners in disguise. It made us wonder how many were put on plates but rejected to the waste bin. I only mention this because it is easier to talk specifically about a singular fault than to praise the variety of food that was available and enjoyed. Service was pleasant, though few English speaking staff. All in all, this was an enjoyable venue and one that we would select again or recommend to friends. Cheers, Garry

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Amazing Resort

We dealt with Jennifer Brown of Tripcentral. As usual, she's amazing. Thank you. To say this resort is large is an understatement. The grounds are amazing and extremely well kept. They do have trolleys. The buffet has lots to choose from. The restaurant dishes were amazing. I can't begin to tell you how great this place was. Stayed there 12 days and that wasnt enough.

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.

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.
