Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Beautiful Beach and nice pools!

It was our second time at Iberostar Ensenachos and we enjoyed the warm water with a very nice turqoise coulour. We had the lunch almost every day on Megano beach, and they served tasty pasta, fish, oven pizza, and fresh mango. Bring some protection for mosquitos, especially in the evening.

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Terrible

This is in no way even a two star resort. Room service did not answer phone. Did not fog for mosquitoes so impossible to enjoy anything. You could not leave room at night. Buffett had more flies than dead cow carcass.

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: You get what you pay for

The grounds are immaculate; Playa Pilar is fantastic and by far one of the nicest beaches we have been to; it’s a four minute ride from the hotel. The beach at the hotel is decent and once you are past the coral it is clear, beautiful and shallow. Service was impeccable. Food options are at the lower end of the scale however we were prepared for this and the beds could have been a little more comfortable. Our room was cleaned daily and towels were replaced daily unlike North American hotels

Iberostar Selection Varadero: SUNWING: Iberostar Selection Varadero

The resort was amazing. It was beautiful and clean. The entertainment was wonderful. We found a great variety of food between the buffet and the other restaurants.The lobster dinner was delicious. We had some challenges to find our favourite drinks like margaritas. While the resort experience was great, our flight timing and experience was awful. We lost the whole first day as we arrived in the resort around 11pm. The return departure was so late that by the time we got home, it was around [... read more] 5am. So we lost the whole next day due to exhaustion. Also our SUNWING rep, was not very responsive when we reached out to her prior to our trip.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Best Staff Ever!!

The Iberostar Quetzal is a beautiful family resort. The food is amazing, lot of options from vegetarian to meat lover, from kids to adults. Any cocktail you ask for they make it. Beach is amazing, hug pools and jacuzzi. Parties at the beach were incredible. And the best was the staff. Staff was the one exceeded our expectations. There is Chef Alejandra who was table by table asking and taking suggestions from guests. She listen and offers diets accommodation. She gives the best welcome that make [... read more]s you feel at home. We received a free pass for the three of us to Iberostar Cozumel, unfortunately, it was as great as Quetzal.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Everything was *okay* 3/5

View 10/10: Beautiful resort, beautiful beach, beautiful pool. It honestly captivates you. Food 4/10: Very bland. No spices. No ketchup, no potatoes, no milk. etc. They have a shortage of practically everything. However, the cooked chicken/beef was good, some soups were good, and the bread was great. Cleanliness 4/10: The rooms were not clean. My throat hurt me every time I went to sleep, including my familys'. Service 6/10: Despite not being very clean, the people are pleasant and  [... read more]sweet. Nightlife 5/10: Mostly very dead in the resort, lol. Go outside the resort. Definitely not a 5-star hotel. They could do much better to bring it up to 5.

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Beautiful Resort

Easy to get to all amenities. Things all vey close together. I do wish there were more choices than just the sports bar to eat for when you are arriving late in the evening. Wish they had more beach huts along with more beach chairs, found that it was always full in the morning. Not much to do in the area as still developing. Only other tip is that if you are coming in on a late flight, prepare to be eaten by mosquitoes at the airport. If you can before getting off plane spray yourself with  [... read more]mosquitoes spray or cream. We had a great and relaxing time. Enjoy

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: disappointed

I was traveling with my daughter and her 3 year old son. This was my 7th time at this hotel. The first rooms we got were in buidlings 21, my daughters room was ok but phone didn't work and no water. My room had a stained bedspread, dirty glass table top, no toilet paper. Moved us to 2 other rooms in building 25. My room was ready and was good. My daughter and grandsons room was not ready and we went back to pick up keys at 5:00. When we got to her room there was No bedding, all the small furn [... read more]iture had been pushed into the bathroom, and the fridge was pulled apart. Never did they offer to drive us to any of these rooms. I called the front desk and told them the room was not good, They said they would give us two more rooms. I said can you send someone with the keys and take us to the new rooms. My daughter went to check out these rooms before we hauled all of our luggage there again.. These rooms we at the far end of the hotel, rooms 3623 & 3624 were better. All this back and forth made my arthritis flare up. I was in pain for 4days had a hard time sleeping. we found out that the building we were in only had 1 other person, there was no outside lighting. At night you could not see anything pitch black. - There is no hand soap in the bathrooms. - No hot water. - Rooms were not cleaned only came in to make beds and empty garbage can. - There is No toilet paper in common areas, or hand soap. - Twice a day without any warning they would use a truck to drive by whether you were walking or not and would spray a fogger of bug spray. We had to run for cover with my 3 year old grandson. - One day when leaving the kids pool a truck came flying around a blind spot and all most hit us.. I had to yell out at them. - Food was not good very limited. Drink very limited.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Service a big question

The hotel was advertised as 4.5 star. The service was not. First when I checked into the room, there were no towels at all except for a foot towel in front of the bath. I told the front desk and half an hour later when I was back in the room, they had placed bath towel in the room but no hand towel. The next morning I walked to the front desk and they very politely apologized and ensured me that it will be there. It was not by the afternoon, so I told them again and they very politely apologize [... read more]d and ensured it will be there shortly. It was not. I talked to the front desk the second day to no avail. Then on third day I asked straight for the manager, and he again apologized and ensured me. To no avail. On the second day I dropped some drinking water and I used the foot towel to clean up the mess and left the wet foot towel there and also informed the manager in my conversation that the foot towel has not been replaced and the mess is still there. Short story, they finally removed the wet foot towel on day 5 with no replacement so each time I wanted to get out of the showers, I had the likelihood of a fall. For the whole 7 days, I had no hand towel. Additionally, they never changed the bath towel during the 7 days. Easy to fix, but I do not understand why they did not.

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Ok

We ( eight of us) just came Back from spending one week at the Iberostar Playa Pilar resort in near Cayo Coco. Not sure what the issue is, but the resort had an infestation of flies. There was also an issue of cockroaches in the Main buffet. I witnessed a cockroach running across the counter where the hot food was stationed as well as on the floor. I do believe the Iberostar should look into why they have this issue. I have been to Cuba before and did not experience anything like that. On a pos [... read more]itive Side cuba has beautiful beaches. The sea at the hotel is calm and serene. However, if you are not fortunate enough to grab a Cabano bed at the seaside, you will be sitting without shade. The staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful. The hotel is in need of a renovation. I have no doubt that when it was built, it was a five-star resort. Now I would give it a three at best. We booked dinners in the A-la carte restaurants. They were in a closed area, so there was no fly problem. We especially enjoyed the Japanese restaurant. We spent one day at the spa. The staff there were truly customer service oriented. The food is kept covered and the pool is a quiet place to relax. Their washrooms are much cleaner than the main lobby. All in all we made the best of it and enjoyed each other's company.

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: The hotel has its good and bad

The entertainment, the pool area, the beach are all great. Great. The à la carte restaurants are very good too. The buffet and snack area are not good as they are full of flies. The buffet area even had roaches on the floor. The food in the buffet area is not even covered which would help prevent flies from landing on food.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Poor

No good service, they never have towels , in the bathroom the door could not be closed , …… the food very poor . This hotel is not recommender , .. the person who puts the chairs on the beach is very rude and has bad manners

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: Beautiful Hotel, sucks for entertainment!

Good people, Beautiful hotel, beautiful beach everything is brand-new but the food is not good at all, and there is no theater or hall for entertainment. They always run out of something. One thing for sure if you want to loose weight come to this hotel. Bring your own kitchen

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Very Good Resort

I just returned from a trip at this resort (Aug 2023). The resort itself is in very good condition and clean and the grounds are in excellent condition. The resort is small and all the buildings are quite close. The beach is beautiful and there was never an issue getting a chair under an umbrella. Coffee and drinks were available in many different areas of the resort. The food was ok, better than I expected. There was a beach bbq everyday which was the best option. Breakfast was also good [... read more]. The swim out rooms are a nice bonus if you can get one of those rooms. The nightly entertainment was a lot of fun and the staff did their best to keep us entertained. I would definitely recommend this resort if you're looking for a simple budget getaway.

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: Beautiful resort

Thanks to all the staff of Coral Level for the good service.

Iberostar Coral Esmeralda: 100% YES

We upgraded to Coral Level. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary. Loved that it was smaller. Roof top room was beautiful. Pool was great. Staff was fantastic. Beach was STUNNING! Will be planning a return trip. 1.25 hour ride from airport.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Fine resort

Food quality could have been better The beach was overall good but the side of this resort were stones and sea weed underneath so we had to go the other side of the beach nearby resort to swim in peace..Overall it was great and staff was helpful and polite.. Boring night parties though

Iberostar Selection Esmeralda: New resort

Overall fair resort, lack of staff, activities, room service , beach is nice , no money exchange available, gift shop the size of my bathroom, and hardly ever open , nowhere to buy cigars , wifi always crashing
