Iberostar Selection Varadero: Amazing resort

It’s been a while since we’ve been on vacation. This resort was absolutely amazing. Grounds, rooms were impeccable. Staff were very helpful and always with a smile. Big shout out to Monica and jiovanni from the main buffet. Food and entertainment was very good.Can’t get over how beautiful the beach was. Ocean was so clear. We will definitely be back. Thank you for this memorable vacation. Our 37 wedding anniversary.

We will return Aug 2020!!

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Good Resort, could be better

The hotel itself is nice, some of the rooms we were told are a little dated, but ours (a junior suite) was fine. It was clean, had a king size bed (the mattress was not the greatest but we slept ok) had a shower, tub and dual sinks. There is also a safe in the room to keep your valuables in although we have never had an issue in Cuba and have been five times. The resort is Ocean front but not beach front, there is an area with loungers and shade near the ocean but the boardwalk obstructs the  [... read more]view. You can get a lounger on the boardwalk if you’re r there early enough.Playa Pilar is only a 1km walk away and is gorgeous. You don’t even have to walk all the way to get a great view of the ocean. The buffet is the main restaurant at the resort. The food was decent but not spectacular, the second night we were at the resort they couldn’t keep up with demand and we went away a bit hungry. They try and cater to everyone which is difficult and some people do complain about the food. We got three “a la carte” seating throughout the week. Twice we went for the Japanese which was great and fun for everyone and the other was the Mediterranean which was again good, but not spectacular. The grounds of the hotel are gorgeous and the pool is good too. The staff at the pool and beach were great. Special shout out to Miguel who made our time at the beach awesome. Front desk staff was courteous, we had a slight delay checking in and getting our room but not as bad as some that we heard of. The entertainment team was on point, the shows were pretty good and had the Cuban flare Cuba is known for. All in all it was a good trip , the only complaint we really had was we had to ask several times for our mini fridge to be restocked. Good family resort , go for the beaches, the people and the sun.

Iberostar Coral Holguin: Iberostar Holguin Coral Level

This resort is beautiful as it is not even 2 years old yet. Pool area and service was wonderful If you are looking for rest relaxation and pretty much nothing to do this is the place Everyone over 40 and mostly couples but I went to do nothing You are 1.5 hours from Holguin and 30 minutes from Guardelavacca

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Not quite as advertised

Although the beack and staff were wonderful, there were a few things about the hotel that were a bit of a let down. As another reviewer said, the hotel seems to be in decline. It was our family's time there but we talked to several other families who had been there before who said that the resort had slid downhill. The former waterfall is no longer working, the jacuzzi on the 5th floor was running but with only cold water. There were too few bars whose staff, although doing their best, were  [... read more]absolutely overwhelmed at times. We had to use our same blue beack towels for the entire 10 days we were there as no replacements were available. The bath towels in the room smelled quite a bit as though there were not enough detergent used. I am not condemning the place as the food was decent enough and the people were great. I would actually rate this place as more of a 3+ stars and not a 4.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal: Great value

We have just returned from a very nice week at the Iberostar. We are very happy with our vacation. Reception was very smooth and friendly. Check out as well. Rooms are exceptionally clean with comfortable beds and nice showers. Each room has a balcony. All rooms are non smoking including the balcony. Food at the buffet was above average and the a la carte’s were solid. The beach is busy but beautiful. Bar, snack shop and ice cream shop all located at beach Entertainment staff were busy  [... read more]all day with different activities. The nightly shows were exciting and seemed to be enjoyed be everyone. There is a small natural jungle section located in the centre of the property that features lots of wildlife and plant life. It was a nice easy walk thru. Located a short cab ride from the Center of Playa del Carmen, it was located in a gated area, that you could safely walk around outside of the resort. A very solid resort at a very comfortable price.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Nice resorts

Everything is nice very good hotel to stay there. Very nice people who working there. Food is good. Service is good and nice. Hotel is very nice. Entertainment is nice for adults and kids. Next time see you there.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: beautiful resort with something for everyone

My husband and I came to this resort with our entire family which has been a dream of mine from when we got married 40 plus years ago. There were 10 of us and ranged in age from 4 to 67. The kids were on the go from the minute we stepped onto the grounds. The 2 youngest particularly loved star camp and never wanted to leave...….the staff were incredible! The grounds are huge and we were very glad we were pool side. We had junior suites for the young families and the rooms were gorgeous. Th [... read more]e amenities fabulous! The pools were great, the water temperature perfect! The swim up bar with the waterfall overhead pretty and fun. The wave pool a huge delight! The activities offered were fun and the staff very cool! Javi, Carolina and others were extraordinary and so upbeat (I wish I could recall all of their names) The servers in the restaurant the best. Very attentive and fast! All staff very polite and smiling! I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. I would not hesitate to return to this resort...…..it's beautiful, functional and most of all fun. The perfect vacation!

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: fabulous vacation resort

This resort was amazing! Something for all! The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. The peacocks and coati's were something to see (and the kids loved them) Everything from the restaurants to the pools to the evening entertainment was amazing and well done. Probably though the best thing about the resort was the staff and how they made you feel. I wish I could recall all their names. the young ones spent some time at the star club and those folks were wonderful. In fact the 6 ye [... read more]ar old wanted to be there everyday! Normally when we travel we take an excursion or two. We did not this time as everything we needed was right at the resort.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Beautiful resort

Everything was great except common toilets which were less taken care. Accommodation, grounds, food, excelent. Beach and water amazing! Service excelent and people extremely friendly. It was a great vacation.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Beautiful grounds, great people

Just got back from a 5 day stay at Iberostar Playa Alameda. Since we were there for such a short period of time, we didn't do any excursions and stayed on the resort. Luckily, there was lots to do - Charlie and the entertainment team do a great job of hosting events. We did rum and cigar tasting and pairing, cocktail mixing, dancing, and much more. The fresh-grilled meat and sausages by the beach during lunch was a favourite daily activity. The grounds and beach were incredibly well maintaine [... read more]d. For the most part, the staff were also incredibly kind. One thing that was a bit frustrating was that many people would put things on beach and pool chairs to reserve them and leave for hours at a time. If you come here, please be kind and take your stuff with you when you leave! The room itself was fairly muggy - I'd recommend leaving the AC on for as long as possible, otherwise the moisture will make your clothes smell a bit funky. There was also a piece of glass on the floor when we first came in and the balcony door was broken. However, the rooms are fine if you're just using them to sleep in at the end of the night and not spending your days there. Overall this was a great place to stay, even if the rooms were somewhat lacking.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Beautiful

The resort itself is beautiful! The rooms are dated. Do not upgrade not worth it! The food was ok (it’s Cuba) The hospitality was great. Overall great resort. Just need to focus more on the rooms - hard to get clean towels etc Travelled Feb17-24 Would return again

Iberostar Selection Holguin: Beautiful Resort

Vacationed Feb 17- 24 , 2020 ....Beautiful Resort, We stayed in building 26 which was close to beach, pool and kids splash pad area. About 4- 5 min walk to the buffet. loved the beach and our Maid was outstanding. Could not book one alacarte for the week unless we took a 9:30pm , which is not suitable for anyone I would think and we had small children. I have been to a few different resorts in Cuba and have always been able to get pizza and fries, this resort had neither. One would think  [... read more]when a resort is promoting a great resort for children they would certainly have pizza and fries. Cereal for children was only available last 2 mornings. The food at buffet was pretty much same every night. I have had much better in a 3* for an Iberostar I was disappointed.

Iberostar Selection Holguin: Amazing time

Couldn’t of been happier with our stay here! Amazing staff! Entire resort was spotless and clean! The pools and beach were incredible and well taken care of Very happy customers....Heather our travel agent was great and helped us when we needed it!

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Good value resort

This hotel offers many features for teen-twenty year old families. Many sports, games, dancing at disco, nightly show performances and the best beach in Cuba. Victor leads the entertainment team well and interacts positively with guests. Maintenance falls a bit behind lately as some signs of wear but the resort itself overall is good.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Good resort

Friendly personnel, beautiful landscape, good food and amazing beaches. The availability of using the non-motorized sport equipments is a nice feature. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious. The towel service may need an improvement. The boardwalks need better maintenance.

Iberostar Coral Holguin: Fancy resort

The grounds and amenities were beautiful in the coral level. The service was exceptionally good, the rooms were very nice, and cleaning staff was great. The restaurants were nicely designed and the staff were very nice and professional, the chefs definitely need higher level training, to help in the flavourings and quality of there meals and menu.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Lindo: Impressed!

This was my first time at an Iberostar. I have to say I was really impressed. The resort amenities and service are equal to that of Palladium. We loved everything the resort had to offer. Lots for families to do! Great options for dining. Thanks for a great week!

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Beautiful Getaway

The hotel was lovely with a few areas for improvement. Our suite was excellent and the service to the room was good. Fresh towels everyday and they did a good job of cleaning the room. I just wish they would replenish the shower gel, shampoo and conditioner at least once during the week. Staying at the Coral suites was a great choice. Quiet with lovely grounds and close to the beach. The shuttle service was usually good but sometimes we had to wait for more than ten minutes. The grounds w [... read more]ere beautiful with all kinds of flowers and lizards to keep you occupied. The restaurants at the hotel were really good depending on where you went. The Cuban was excellent and the Italian was good, but the Asian was just okay. The beach was spectacular and better than anywhere we have ever been. Loved it. The washrooms on the beach often needed toilet paper and same goes for the washrooms at the lobby. Although they were kept pretty clean. The theatre where shows were performed was very comfortable and had good seating for all. This is an excellent resort with many amenities including lovely tennis courts in good condition and the pools were also excellent and not crowded at all even though we were told the resort was at capacity. Even the buffet was managable with the numbers. The food at the buffet was excellent - no complaints. But my favourite was eating at the restaurant at the Coral side. Best food and service at this restaurant. Would definitely go back!

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: A Good Resort - 4/5

It was a good experience. Rooms and ground were very clean; and the pool and activities were excellent. Activities ranged from: Archery, air-rifling, aquarobics, kayaking, volleyball, bocce, horseshoe tossing, and water polo. The safe in our room was not working (the batteries were loose, so the safe would re-set every time we closed the door), so that was concerning. The food was good. There was a wide selection of meats and fruit, but not a lot of vegetables or local selection (think: to [... read more]stones, mangu, mofongo, habichuelas con dulce, etc). Also, their "Japanese" restaurant did not really serve Japanese food, just generic "Asian-y" food like: spring rolls, fried rice, and a 'sushi' containing cream cheese and carrots. The soda and ice-cream dispensing machines would regularly run out of soda and ice-cream. The coffee (cafe con leche) from the coffee dispensing machines was REALLY GOOD! The service was also good. The servers and bartenders would sometimes ignore you in favour of English-speaking American-looking tourists, but coffee / water / drinks eventually came around. Overall, a 4/5.
