Iberostar Coral Holguin: Excellent experience in resort

It was very beautiful and organized resort . we had Coral level which is more like VIP in resort and very good experience in our trip. I hadn't read what is different between Coral level and other part of hotel but as I figure out in resort it was separate butler for corals guests as they need anything in resort they provide on time and reach to guests in quick time which was great .it was private gazebo for double room in back yard front of pool . Also Coral level building was two stories level [... read more] but other section were three stories level and more units in apartment which makes more private and quiet area for Coral level . Room and facilities were excellent as we expected as five star hotels . Room service was amazing and cleaning staffs were so professional and neat. All personnel were so polite, professional, good trained and friendly . Food were in good quality and I think were sourced from local farms which I think in Cuba is more organic stuffs . But as I had experience with my other trip to caribbeans, quantity and variety wasn't comparable and was less . If I consider fairness, this trip was in covid situation and resort wasn't crowded, so maybe that could be a reason for limited of food variety . Pools and water were super clean . My only bad experience was about wifi internet which we had recharged it every Fife hours of usage with call butler or service desk ! and had to log in every time after turn on the phone ! So we had put our user name and password provided to us every time you want to going on phone ! But wifi was powerful every where in resort either far away beach ( second private beach of resort ). I liked pedal boat and katamara which was inflatable boat in resort service that gusts could enjoy of it free of charge with driver Totally , I was so happy to chose my trip in this resort and definitely recommended with high score.

Very quiet due to COVID 2 a La crates open - both very good Struggles with supplies due to COVID so no butter minimal bread but loads of fish, seafood and lobster tail in Coral New resort so all clean and fresh with staff constantly cleaning and polishing 4 girlfriends had a wonderful week

Iberostar Selection Cancun: Super resort!

The resort was beautiful - well maintained, clean, and attentive to ensuring patrons felt safe with regard to Covid. Staff were helpful and friendly and at the ready to make our stay the best. The beach was expansive (especially when compared to neighbouring resorts and their beachfronts). The pools and deck spaces accommodated everyone safely with needed social distancing as well. We enjoyed every moment of our stay!

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Highly recommend!!!

My second time at this resort and it does not disappoint. Helpful and friendly staff, a beautiful beach that you can walk for miles along. The staff are friendly and very helpful, clean rooms, great food, nightly entertainment and a disco. The peaceful gardens with waterfalls along with all the other amenities gives this resort a 10/10 on my should have requirements at an all inclusive resort.

Hotel Bella Costa: Amazing Holiday

We have been at this resort numerous times. There have been a lot of upgrades done to the rooms, grounds, etc. This is an older resort, but the resort is kept immaculate by staff. All staff are very friendly and accommodating. From the front desk to the entertainment staff and wait staff, there were no complaints. They went over and above their duties. The pool was cool this past week, but it was sparkling clean and refreshing. It was a very windy week, so the beach was red flag for [... read more] a few days. We were able to get in the ocean the last few days of our holiday. The beach was very clean and groomed. The water fantastic. It was nice to have wait staff at the beach and around the pool - quite a treat! Food was fantastic - no complaints - lots of variety. There was no way you were going hungry. Covid protocols were in place. Masks were worn by ALL staff at ALL times. Hand sanitizer readily available throughout the resort. Cleaning of all surfaces done on a regular basis. We were not worried at all. All and all it was a fantastic holiday and we will return to Bella Costa many more times.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Our Wishes came true--Again!!

We are repeat visitors to this resort, and it did not disappoint. The staff were friendly, the grounds were gorgeous (beach and pool both beautiful!), rooms were clean, quiet (stayed in building 16), and comfortable. Internet connection worked very well. The food was wonderful! Loved the buffet restaurant, and had a meat feast at the Brazilian restaurant, El Rodizio, and a pleasant experience at the Mediterranean. We love to walk, and enjoyed the tennis courts for a game we play (no charge,  [... read more]but need to reserve). Covid precautions were excellent, and on-site testing was available (for a fee). We plan to return again next year!

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Beautiful Resort

This resort is one of the most beautiful resorts I have ever stayed at! The vegetation is spectacular and the grounds kept absolutely immaculate! Rooms are very clean and spacious! The resort offered a wide arrange of food and we were pleasantly surprised at how good it all was! The only disappointment was the Japanese restaurant as I’m used them entertaining you and our chef was not in the mood I guess!! Also, breakfast had a variety of things to offer but again, the same things daily!!

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: A Peaceful Retreat

The staff at the Iberostar Daiquiri are excellent. They wear masks for their entire shift and remain pleasant. I know this is not the easiest thing, and I appreciate that they have such great care for their guests health and safety. The resort had just recently re-opened. Although all of the usual amenities and services weren't always available, we were well taken care of. There was plenty of food to eat - above normal Cuban standards, but not a culinary experience if that's what you're l [... read more]ooking for. The room was refreshed; everything worked and we had a lovely view of the ocean. The beach was excellent as usual. We took our own chalk and played pickleball on the tennis courts. The bicycles were in great shape and the riding was the safest it has ever been. They have finished building all of the hotels on the Cayo Guillermo strip, so the roads didn't have all the construction trucks we had become used to. Thank you, Iberostar Daiquiri. We will be back as soon as possible.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Same great staff

The staff are great as always, in the 7 times i have visited i have always had great service. I do think it is time the hotel was updated, it was looking a bit beaten up. The furniture has had better days. The Spa section pool and bar area is well maintained, the rooms do need a make over.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: A Resort with a heart !!

Overall a great resort ! The grounds, food , restaurants, beach, and staff were fabulous!! We had a medical emergency (accident) while at the resort and the staff was exceptional !! Janet Bell from Customer Service went beyond to help us, the resort doctor and nurse so helpful and the overall staff so caring!

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Resort needs serious maintenance

The grounds were well kept and the employees do the best they can with what they have. I had a suite 605. The view was beautiful but that’s it. The sliding doors were extremely hard to slide open and you could not lock them. One of the screens were immovable. The curtains were dirty and had paint on them. Both our toilets did not work properly. I had to remove the lids and fiddle with the valve to get them to fill up again. The ac was leaking into the room. The ac in the bedroom barely [... read more] cooled the room and we sweated every night. I slipped and luckily I didn’t hurt myself but it could have been very serious. I went to the bathroom half asleep and stepped on the puddle and slipped. My maid never cleaned the toilets or sinks. The bed was so bouncy and felt like you were sleeping in a jungle gym. The pillows were flatter than the prairies. Our sheets were changed on the day before we left. They turned yellow from all the sweating we did before they were finally changed. The fridge froze my water but I’ll take that over too warm. We didn’t have towels to shower with fir a few evenings. I had to keep my beach towel for a whole week cause no towels were available. There was no milk, no gin, no vodka and no olive oil on most days. I won’t mention the food because what’s the point. The place is run down and in need of serious maintenance. It is not a 4 star and more like a two star at best At the spa, the pool had an oily slick and didn’t filter properly. The steam room had a pipe spewing really hot steam at your ankles which can cause a very bad burn if you weren’t aware that it was there. Honestly, an accident waiting to happen. I was happy to go home. I went there for the beautiful blue water but this was my last trip to Cuba. I realize they are having hard times. I wasn’t expecting it to be this bad. I was looking for a bit of pampering and oh boy, there was none to be found. I can’t believe the amount I paid for this vacation. I feel duped. I heard other folks paid a third less. So feeling like a fool for believing the reviews.

Iberostar Coral Holguin: Amazing Staff

We stayed at Coral Level at Iberostar Selection Holguin for two weeks in December. Everything was perfect. - The rooms are modern, spacious, and very clean, with comfortable beds, a large bathroom, and very good AC. - The Coral restaurant serves great food, with a set menu, which for dinners includes fish, lobster, fillet, and chicken, served with very good wines. A great selection of drinks at the bar. - The Coral Level has a fairly large, very clean swimming pool with a bar. - But what set [... read more]s the Coral Level apart from all the other resorts that we have visited in Cuba and elsewhere, is the staff. They are simply fantastic. From the butlers to the restaurant staff and countless others including the cleaning staff, life guards, and gardeners all work super hard to serve the guests. Please tip generously not to get a better service but because these wonderful people really deserve it.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Still an Amazing Resort

I love Varadero and I have stayed at the Iberostar Laguna Azul 5 to 6 times. It is clean, safe, beautifully landscaped, well maintained, very friendly, professional and hard working staff. I have tried staying at a few other resorts and they do not measure up to Iberostar Laguna Azul. We were there for Christmas 2021 and they went all out for our Christmas Eve dinner it was unbelievable! A 4 foot tree of lobsters, a sushi buffet, a seafood buffet, a pastry buffet, steak, turkey, chicken, fish e [... read more]tc...impressive options. I highly recommend staying at this lovely resort

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Terrible experience with resort food!

Our 3-year-old daughter contracted salmonella on the day three of our trip and got very ill. We suspect it was by eating apples and pears at the buffet or the beach. The staff at the front desk were not friendly when we needed them the most and overall our experience wasn’t the best.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Great time away…

Resort was beautiful, well staffed and food was delicious in both the buffet and other restaurants. The resort did a good job of balancing guest safety during Covid with the freedoms of resort fun. They had on site testing which was simple to book and results were back in 24 hours for our return trip home to Canada. Activity team was fun and welcoming with lots of activities for people of all ages.

Iberostar Selection Holguin: Go somewhere else !!!

Terrible experience !!!! 7 days a week, I ate pasta . Other options are really not good !! And , I was wait 20-30 minutes just for pasta . Local people always coming to beach. No privacy!!! Food : Terrible 😣 Room: good 😌 Desert and fruit are not good 👎

Iberostar Selection Holguin: clean and nice area but not a 4.5 star ...maybe 3 in internationals standards !

because were a few people in resort everything regarding services were smooth ...but till resort you have to endure cuban incompetence during crossing the border ( don't blame them ...they don't know better, is the system) food is edible - many canadians enjoy it but i think is inadmissible for a resort named IBEROSTAR to not have in a restaurant : vinegar, onion, bell peppers, spices , lemon, diversity of fruits ...list is long but i stop to what is obvious a la carte restaurants have same k [... read more]ind of food or almost ...is only the name : a la carte ! poorly food but u can check the meniu by a QR code ! childish for what food they offer but again everyone is different and some of canadians enjoy many locals have access to the resort ...this time i didn't see kingpins of cuban black market ... departure was the same time and nerves consuming like arrival

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Wonderful Resort!

While the rooms looked a bit tired, everything else was great to spectacular! The beach was kept spotlessly clean. The buffet was above average for an all-inclusive. Service was friendly and timely. The beautiful peacocks, black swans and flamingos made an extra nice touch! Loved it!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Great Place for a Family Vacation

This was our third return to the Iberostar Maya/Lindo in Mexico (first two trips were in 2016 & 2017). We had a wonderful week with 6 adults and 5 kids (ages between 3 and 13). Covid related rules and policies are much like they are in Canada - masking in public areas, entering and leaving restaurants, going up to the buffet etc. In the buffets, some things are serve yourself and some are served for you by staff. The quality and diversity of food was a little lower than what we experienced i [... read more]n 2016/7, but still very very good. The grounds and rooms are just as lovely as always and the service is great. The new waterslides are fun, but we found we would go down 4-5times and not everyday, so they are never busy which is nice. We flew Air Canada and had a lovely experience there to. Traveling back through Pearson Airport, even with all the extra checks, balances and testing was smooth and very well managed and organized. In every interaction with many people who are part of the travel industry (Travel agents, flight attendants, airport staff, resort staff) we had nothing but good experiences so thank you to all of them as we had a great vacation!

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Fantastic Resort

From the staff to the location down to the beautiful weather. The place is beautiful. The villas are well kept with housekeeping daily. The pool is gorgeous and the beach is well maintained the only thing bad I will say is I had a room fairly close to the theater and lobby. At night the entertainment was extraordinarily loud. So much so that when there to enjoy a drink you could not char with those at the table with you. If you wished for an earlier night the volume was way to high. It didn't n [... read more]eed to be that high. Beyond that though the food, drink and staff make this resort a great place to be. It was my second stay here and I would certainly come back again.
