Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Meh

I can’t say I’d recommend this resort to anyone. I was travelling alone this time so my standards aren’t what they would be if I was with someone important. Food was substandard, I expected this from the country however, this particular resorts selection was less than limited. A la cart was always followed by a trip to the buffet to top up or to forget what you did eat at the restaurants. Rusted fixtures in the bathrooms and water was hit and miss for washing. Sometimes it worked sometime [... read more]s it didn’t. The pool area was small so I can’t imagine the disaster it would be if they were running at full capacity. I didn’t like begging for water in my room either. I never did receive a new towel my entire stay. Getting a towel from the pool cabana was a bit of an ordeal. Checking in was fine however the lack of communication as to where to get anything was left up to the guest to find out. Bed sheets had holes in them and the door to the balcony couldn’t be opened by someone elderly I’m sure. Batteries for the safe in the room were done so that couldn’t be used. Nightly entertainment was “ok”. But again, you had to listen to hear where it was on the resort to find it. I’m not sure how this resort had the rating it did. If this is a 4 star then it’s a one star ANY where else in the Caribbean. I won’t be back. I do understand the hurdles Cuba has to go over in order to get what they do have. This will be my last time visiting the country for a very long time. I would have hated to bring my son or significant other to this place. It would have been embarrassing to be honest.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Relaxing resort

The grounds, pools and rooms were very nicely kept. The service was excellent. The food was terrible but that is out of your control. There wasn't enough activity to keep it lively so very boring especially after sundown. The beach was sensational.

Iberostar Selection Playa Mita: Nice hotel with great amenities!

The AIR CANADA ride from the airport was long1.5 hrs, as we had to make several stops We stayed ocean front which was very nice, the beach is beautiful to walk and no problem getting chairs umbrellas are also available We went to the pool every day, you don’t have to get up at 6am to get a chair! There are lots and all have palapas for shade. Beach bar was ok, Buffet was good, specially restaurants leave a lot to be desired. They serve a large portion of meat with little veggies You do h [... read more]ave to make reservations, but this is easy with concierge bars ok, make a wide variety of drinks for everyone. There are guidelines for dress at specialty restaurants, but no one is turned away.. even those who think shorts and t-shirts are acceptable.. of course this is not the norm…. When did flip flops become evening wear? Pool & Beach! Green Too many men think this is acceptable. This is a great hotel and we would probably return. Beautiful weather and Lowe humidity in December

Iberostar Selection Holguin: This was one one my favourite hotels in Cuba . Been to 8 different resorts this one is best by far .

This resort seem to have everything you needed for a good holiday.. Food was good apart from the odd shortage , but never a real concern. Staff were great and took care of all our needs and never had to wait long any where .

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Nice stay...

Older hotel with beautiful grounds and beach. Rooms are dated but clean and functional. Food was good at buffet but the a la cartes were very good 👍 pool area was very noisy most of the time but plenty of seating available. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso Beach: great staff!

it was nice to see that people have moved on with covid and we were able to enjoy ourselves ,still a few wearing masks wich is fine if that's what they prefer, but at least we had the choice! Excellent service, the staff was very friendly and always smiling ,something that we haven't seen in a while being from Canada I would recommend iberostar and will return in the future

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: We will be back !

Recently spent 11 days at Iberostar Bella Vista , have not been back to cuba in 6 years so wasn't sure what to expect reading all the reviews on shortages since the pandemic . Staff are fantastic , room was spotless and clean everyday, no beer , pop in mini fridges but 2 bottles of water daily . You can purchase beer at resort or duty free , no tequila at resort which we don't drink it anyway , wine was great red & white . We bought star prestige so more choices for food & booze were a bonus  [... read more]. View from oceanview was amazing, we spent 10 days in ocean which is what we went for , however pools were clean and fine also. We brought toilet paper from home and we didn't have too however it's nicer lol . Food was good for cuba , better than 6 years ago forsure however nobody goes to cuba for food . There were many choices and you certainly won't starve, Lobster, shrimp , beef , pork , chicken , burgers , pasta , burnt wings , tuna , we noticed no lettuce and no potatoes, we don't eat desserts but looked like lots there . We would definitely go back to this resort ! Fabulous vacation . 😎

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: The Amazing Iberostar Grand Paraiso

This was my 2nd visit to this resort and it never fails to impress. They really know how to take care of their guests. Rooms are beautifully maintained daily, beds are comfortable, food is top notch from pool side to Buffets to the A la Carte restaurants. Star team puts on spectacular evening shows , lobby bar entertainment and daytime Poolside games and music are so fun. The oceanfront is breathtaking to view and warm to swim and ride the waves. Will definitely return again !

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Great time with lots of sun and sand

Hotel was great, clean and excellent location and beach. Room service was slow, food at restaurants was average. Buffet and pool side food options were great. Language was an issue for English speakers but overall the experience was great and we had an amazing time

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Great resort

Love the hut rooms Great diving Friendly staff Disappointed with smokehouse restaurant this time Patio light didn't work requested repair 2 times Need more lighting on pathways But overall would return again

Iberostar Waves Cozumel: Relaxing Resort

This was the 6th time my wife & I were at Iberostar Cozumel .The resort facilities were well maintained, the staff was very friendly & attentive and the food was well prepared. For people looking for a relaxing, somewhat quiet vacation, this is the place to consider. The large pool is at a 4 foot depth throughout,and it was never crowded ( only the swim up bars at various times).Since many guests are divers, the overall atmosphere is more subdued. Our only disappointment was with the speci [... read more]alized dining restaurants which had scaled back their evening menus. Besides the more limited choices in the Mexican & Chinese restaurants, the previous steak house has become a smoke house which only provides a pre-determined main course. Hopefully this will change, since many visitors were echoing similar sentiments.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Good resort

Rooms are good. Food is decent. Less varieties than previous years. Very good espresso coffee in the bar but unfortunately the espresso machine was broken during our second week. Sport facilities include table tennis, billiard, tennis courts and gym. The beach is amazing

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Great Resort

Staff were very friendly, grounds and beach kept very clean. Steakhouse restaurant and Italian were very good. Seafood restaurant was disappointing. Though we paid for all inclusive, you couldn’t get wine by the glass and only by the bottle if you paid for it.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Good experience

The hotel was very clean and the staff was helpful. Nice beach. The food choice was limited but this is expected for Cuba. It was quiet except for one night when there was a party at the beach. Overall we had a good experinece

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Amazing Vacation

We stayed at the resort from November 11th to 22nd. It was our second time at the resort, the first time being 20 years ago. So there have been many positive changes. First and foremost the entertainment is amazing, it was 20 years ago and still is today. The gardens are beautiful the beaches are kept clean. They have a lifeguard on duty at the beach which you don't see very often and while we were there he had to go out and rescue someone. The buffets are well stocked and fresh. Though it ca [... read more]n be a bit repetitive at times, all the food was amazingly well presented. The specialty restaurants were the best but you can only book 3 dinners. If you like to sitting at the beach you need to get up before 8:00 and find your lounge chair, if not you're out of luck as it's a very busy resort. There are umbrellas on the beach which is a must for me. If you like long walks on the beach you won't be disappointed. The only thing we found is our suite was a bit dated and that the air conditioning just didn't feel right. It looked like the same room I'd been in 20 years ago. The grounds and beach is spectacularly clean. There's environmental policy is outstanding no single use products on the resort. We definitely would return.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Beautiful and clean!

This resort was pretty great for the most part. Second time coming here, first time was a bit better food wise and the shoes were a lot better at night! Covid has effected the type of foods they can receive and they had less money to spend on acts for the shows. But, the food was pretty good and everything was kept pretty clean! Staff was super friendly! Had a great time!

Hotel Bella Costa: 15 years and counting

yes we been going to Bella costa for the last 15 years at times two times a year or one month at the time, we made many friends and we keep in contact over the year , the hotel? well in my opinion is not a 5 star it need to have the rooms renovated , the major point for this hotel is the staff, always willing to help for anything that you need, anything that you need ask and they will try to please you, the food? well there few items missing but no one will go angry as everyone knows the peo [... read more]ples of Cuba are going thru majors financial situation, but the peoples are singing and dancing and smiling, the beach is the focal point of this hotel...amazing white sand and clear water, we will be going back in 3 months to see our friends and bring them the chocolates that they deserve, if you happen to go there please mention Antonio from canada

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Iberostar Alameda

No diet drinks, no fruit ,only rum to drink, no drinks in our hotel room, food was awful water dripping from our ceiling, could not shut off our air conditioning we where freezing and had trouble opening our room door.and had bad wifi Also resort did not meet Sunwing’s brochure description this was not a 5 star maybe 2 no premium drinks no frozen drinks no drinks in our room fridge deck loungers broken would no go there again or go with sunwing

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Iberostar Laguna azul

L'hôtel est bien, j'ai été déçue de ne pas avoir tout de suite ma chambre avec vue sur l'océan. J'ai dû attendre 62 jours pour l'avoir. Le prix était trop cher car j'ai discuté avec des touristes qui ont payé beaucoup moins cher.

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Not bad.

Been here a few times, staff are great. Some small detail care like paint, caulking, mirrors without rust would go a long way to make it really nice. Our AC didn’t work, told them a few times and it never got fixed. Food has gotten better over time, drinks are good. There was no cola but that is t a resort issue it is in shortage in Cuba. Better lighting along walkways is needed for heading back to your room. But overall a decent place to spend a week.
