Just what we needed

Hotel was just what we were looking for. Great beach, amazing water and even better hosts. Staff at the hotel were great and lots of fun. Most of the appreciation goes out to the entertainment team who always had something going on!

Awesome time at the send resort during our 2 weeks stay

We stayed at the Daiquiri from May 3 - 10 due to not being pleased with the services at this resort, they had no beer in the mini fridge in our room, ran out of beer, mint for Mojitos and vodka at the lobby bar almost every evening, the lobby washrooms were disgusting, the smell from the men’s washroom lingered into the women’s and it was just disgusting, my husband told me that two of the stalls in the men’s washroom were out of order and the toilets were clogged up. Over all the food w [... read more]as good, a good selection, the snack bar which was in the Mexican restaurant made the best hamburgers, very tasty and well cooked. The beach was beautiful, a lot of shade and chairs any time of the day, we did not go in the pool, we come for the beach and ocean. My husband fished every morning on the piers located on the beach, he was in his glory and even was taken out on the Catamaran and got a “Red snapper” and other different kinds of fish. The staff are very attentive and courteous but the running out of boos and not having beer in the room made us request a transfer to the Mojito, we were staying in Cuba for two weeks and were not fully happy so the transfer was not a problem and the remainder of our vacation, the Mojito is a lesser and smaller resort but they had beer every other day in our room, no running out of boos for the length of our stay, the lobby washrooms were clean all of the time no matter what time it was and of course the beach and ocean is beautiful. The only thing with the location of Mojito is that there are a lot of mosquitoes due to the lagoon surrounding the resort but over all we were satisfied with the service and hospitality of both of these resorts but we would never return to the Daiquiri, this was our second time to the Mojito and would return again. The other thing was that there was no beach bar at the Daiquiri but one at the Mojito, for the price of the Mojito compared to the Daiquiri, it’s worth going back to the Mojito, you sure get your monies worth, not Daiquiri, a big disappointment.

Great Place

The beach area was lovely, lots of room for shade. The food there was decent, but definitely was better than expected. The staff are extremely kind and friendly. The rooms were great too, and were very clean

Iberostar Daquiri April 30/2019

Resort was nice, not to big, not to small...beach was beautiful...Very slow check in, no order at all, but if you were a cute girl, you could jump in line....not enough customer service reps (25 couples checked in at 9pm) total chaos.... Arrived on a Wed, ran out of beer by Sat... No exchange towels for 4 days, Mosquitos galore.. Buffet restaurant didnt have air conditioning... too hot to eat, and was told it had been out for 4 months..Animation team really dotes on the younger crowd.... Food wa [... read more]s good for Cuba, didnt expect more..Rooms were just ok, was told they were renovated....Not sure about that....lol......Loved the horse back riding...My husband turned 60 while we were away, order a cake, paid 10 pesos to have it at the Italian ala carte... they couldnt find the cake... Took the surprise away from hubby, when I had to say wait for dessert, while they went and looked for it... I still dont think it was the one I ordered, I think they just went to the buffet and got a cake, and loaded it with whipped cream..Anyhow, it all worked out...Overall it was a great trip, Not sure if we would go back, still love the Melia chain...They take much better care of their patrons...This resort needs alot of tweeking to make it a 4 star, let alone a 4.5 to which it is rated...

It was ok more of 3-31/2 star

We have been to aberostar in Veradero it was much better This resort was lacking staff they were hand washing dishes,cups and glasses. They did not have clean towels for two days. The food was ok could have been better

Will visit again

Resort is clean, beach is beautiful, food is eatable,staff is awesome, great home feeling, second visit for us and hopefully not our last, looking for next year already but to early prices ate not out yet

Fantastic Vacation

Rooms were clean , large , bed was super comfortable . Room temperature was excellent . Coffee maker and fridge in the room , both very handy to have . Close to everything , beach , main lobby , pool and hardly no stairs . Maids , bartenders , waiters and waitresses very friendly. Front desk people very helpful and easy to exchange your money . Food was great and a huge assortment . A la Carte meals were amazing .

Wonderful resort!!

Just came back from a weeks vacation at this resort and can't possibly say anything negative about it at all. Good food Lots of hot water Clean beach and pool area Friendly and helpful staff Clean towels everyday Nope nothing wrong with hotel at all and definitely going back next year!!!

Not good resort to stay

Rooms are smelly and outdated and the mold is everywhere. Toilets are dirty. Towels are placed just above the toilet. We had a superior room with an ocean view, and bedding was so old and ripped off with stains on it. I couldn't believe what we got for a 4 and a half star resort. This is not our first time in Cuba. We were 5 times before in Cuba and we were shocked what we got. We switched the room but it was even worse. The whole resort needs a big renovation. The beach is beautiful, but all b [... read more]eaches in that area are beautiful as well. We had to contact our Sunwing agent to help us to change our resort in order to stay 14 days in Cuba. It cost us an additional 125 doll. So Tony was a good example of an excellent customer service. He arranged our move to Pullman resort and saved our vacation. Thank you Tony so much. You are the best!

Great First Experience!

The resort was beautiful with many different coloured buildings. When you walk in you feel welcomed right away. People are there to help you make your stay excellent and relaxing. There was a variety of food for all to enjoy. The beach was clean and well kept. The Iberostar Daiquiri was a great first time in Cuba!

I’ll be back!

Amazing beach! Beautiful warm water and soft sand. Food was really good, much better than other resorts I’ve been to in Cuba. Very nice staff. Rooms were clean and air conditioning worked well. Nice small resort so everything is within a couple minutes walk. We all loved it!

How many stars?

I will start with the good... sun, beaches, friendly staff and great entertainment. The bad... 1. Our fridge died for 4 out of the 9 days. 2. The shower would build up about 3” of water while in there and took over an hour to drain. 3. We upgraded and paid extra for a superior room and the others in our party (over 17 altogether) did not, they had same or better rooms and location, what we received for our upgrade was an iron in the room and a bottle or rum. 4. The bars ran out of beer, v [... read more]odka and ice on a daily basis. We had a great time but we can make the best of anything and enjoy our time together. Will not return nor recommend this resort.

Great resort

I’ve been going to the iberostar daiquiri for many yrs and just got back again, and they have yet again made my stay great ! Staff weather, resort all amazing ! I would recommend this resort to anyone ! I’ve made many friends there ! I’ll be going again next year!

Okay resort

After staying in several resorts in Cuba- Holguin, Varadero, Cayo Santa Maria, this one was just okay. We have payed less and gotten more value at other resorts. No A/C in main buffet, ran out of several items in buffet and bar.

Great Resort

We just returned from two weeks at the Iberostar Daiquiri Resort. We had stayed for one week last year and the improvements from then to this year were very noticeable. The beds in the room were very comfortable, not hard and difficult to sleep on. The pool chairs were all replaced and were great to sit on and just relax and tan. There was never a meal that we found we didn’t find something we liked and the chef was more than willing to cook the food the way we wanted. Really try the chicken s [... read more]tir fry and the different varieties for fried fish. Oh and you have to try the pizza. Overall this is a great resort for families and couples with plenty of entertainment to keep you occupied during your stay. 1. Hotel rooms were good and kept clean 2. Beach was excellent with plenty of chairs and huts 3. Staff were very friendly and helpful 4. No problem to find a bar to get your rum fix 5. Food was good, not great but always something to find to eat On the negative side they ran out of hamburgers and hot dogs part way through the first week and never had any more while we were there. There was never any bacon. They ran out of mixes for drinks on several occasions and ran out of draught beer for two days.

Very Nice

A relatively small resort which we like because everything is nearby. As everyone has said, the staff are exceptional, hard working and friendly. The room was fine, bed was comfortable. Bar lineups were quick with good variety. We were 2 weeks and found good food to eat every day - it's not North American variety/quality. The buffet restaurant was uncomfortably hot though, a/c wasn't working. The beach directly in front of the resort is sandy into the water for about 10 yards before going grassy [... read more]/seaweedy. To get sandy bottom out to sandbars you have to walk down or up the shore for 10 minutes; otherwise the beach is very nice.

Gorgeous Beach!

This hotel is a little out dated and needs an upgrade... BUT the people, the beach, the service definitely make this hotel! I would still go back. My husband and I went specifically to go Kitesurfing - which is right next door, so the location was perfect for us!

Friendly resort

The grounds were great with friendly staff. Bathrooms could be stocked better with toilet paper as some didn’t have any or ran out. Beach was beautiful and clean!!!! Swimming pools were always full of entertaining fun.

Great friendly resort

Small resort about 300 spacious rooms with ocean front and ocean view rooms. With everything close to your accommodation. Needs improvement on supply of towels and face cloths. Maybe better TV service. Needs ventilation in the main restaurant and to fumeagate more often because of mosquitos. Other than that service on the beach was extremely friendly.

Mixture of good and bad ....

I have mixed feelings about this resort. The rooms are pretty decent. Not too fancy but a/c worked great. Although the latches on the patio doors were missing so you couldn't lock those doors at all. ( I was in the rooms near the main lobby) It costs extra to use the room safes. The food was pretty good. Not everything was labelled, so had to guess on a few things. The buffet kitchen is supposed to be air conditioned but they weren't working when I was there. One pet peave I had was the fac [... read more]t the snack bar was only open from noon til 6 pm. All because they use the snack bar as the Italian Al a Carte. Then if you want snacks you have to go to the Mexican Al a Carte from 11 pm to 7 am. The beach is pretty good. But you don't have to go very far in the water to end up in a lot of seaweed. Lots of beach chairs and shadey umbrellas and pergulas. The pool is ok. Not the biggest. Not enough umbrellas around the pool for shade. If you want shade you have to get up at 4 am to save yourself a seat under an umbrella. It would be nice if there was a 2nd row of umbrellas around the pool. The staff was great, really nice, really hard workers. The entertainment was great, but because it was held in the main lobby, there just wasn't enough tables and chairs for everyone. Even though my review shows I wouldn't recommend this hotel, I still believe it's a personal choice. It's an OK place to go but it isn't top notch.
