Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Wonderful resort!

We just stayed at iberostar rose hall suites for the second time and weren’t disappointed. Large rooms, immaculate grounds, friendly service, lovely kid’s club, good food, great beach, always lounge chairs available, entertainment, no issues at all. Highly recommend for a relaxing holiday.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Amazing beach and friendly staff

We booked this resort partly because so many people had great things to say about it. I was impressed right off the bat. Jessica at the front desk was so friendly and actually asked if my bracelet was good or if I wanted it changed. This was a first, they usually just stick it on and cut off my circulation. They spoke really good English too. We had no hot water for the first couple of days so o went to tell them and they were really accommodating and changed our room. We moved and all was well [... read more], they even called to check on us later. The staff everywhere is friendly, from maids to bartenders. The best bartender in the resort is at the beach bar "La Marina" named Einer. The food is good, we always had something to pick from and it didn't seem that they ran out of anything.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Iborestar Playa Alameda

The resort overall was very nice. Not crowded in the bars or buffet. It was clean and had some nice ammenities. The rooms were quite bad. When we arrived the pillow had mold on it and we did not get the king sized bed we had requested. The sheets were so moist it felt like I was sleeping in a wet bed. The repairs were very poorly done in a lot of places and kind of ruined the atmosphere in some places. However, the food was very good. Huge selection of different foods and it mostly gets cooked i [... read more]n front of you. The restaurants were very nice as well.

JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar: Relaxing holiday

Great week at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro. The staff are fantastic without exception, always a friendly word and smile and there to assist. The hotel, property, amenities, pools, and the beach are all top of the line. Unfortunately had some issues with food on this trip but a great week in the DR despite this.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Amazing!

Had a great week. Resort is small so its easy to get around. Very clean. Rooms are fine. Nothing special. Beach is amazing. No trouble finding chairs. Had one pool day. Pool is small. We liked the beach better. Food is great. Mexican a la carte is great. Staff are friendly. Einer at La Marina is the man!!! He can mix a drink! We have never gone anywhere twice but we would go back here.

Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites: Amazing resort

Very clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food at the buffet was great with a lot of choices also at restaurants was amazing food and drinks. Will go back to Jamaica at the iberostar rose hall suites. Beautiful

Iberostar Origin Tainos: Quiet resort

The resort was very clean and friendly. It was pretty quiet, not a lot going on and not very large. The rooms were alright but nothing to get excited about. In typical cuban fashion the food wasn't great. The buffet was very bland. The specialty reastraunts were decent. The pool was not very big and there was no swim up bar, and no hot tub

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: Absolutely Amazing

The resort was amazing. The rooms, the food, the entertainment, the grounds, the services, the pools, the beach...absolutely no complaints. Will return in 2021. We have already recommended it to friends and colleagues.

Iberostar Coral Holguin: No kids and pretty well behaved adults

The upscale end is very nice, it’s quite and no line ups for food which was nice for breakfast and lunch. Food is very repetitive certain things bananas tomatoes, weren’t to be found. And breakfast juices , didn’t have any. The specialty restaurants were very elegant and professional with plenty of staff, but other than the lobster, the food was just adequate. The Chinese open flame cooking was odd. They came out and served you chicken and beefs squares and a sparse salad. And then proceed [... read more]ed to cook the chicken and beef squares you just ate for an appetizer. The food was probably the best here as there was shrimp beef and chicken and more ,freshly cooked in front of you. Rooms were FANTASTIC. we had a corner unit sweet, towels were always super clean , and fresh daily as well as bed turndown service all fridge waters and beer and pop were replenished daily. Hour bus ride, they have little golf carts that ar constantly driving around so if u don’t feel like walking just flag on down. Overall very nice presentation as well as grounds and pool and upgraded wooden chairs. Were all top notch, the food needs to be worked on. I no it’s cuba and I’ve been 20 plus times over 38;years, I have had better steaks and salads on some of the other islands.

Iberostar Selection Holguin: Review

First of all: GET MY NAME RIGHT!! Also you sent me a survey that would not translate and was entirely in Spanish. Therefore I gave you minimum ranking in all categories as I had no idea what you were talking about.

Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites: Problems needing fixed

Holiday started off rough. This is not our first time here so we expected no problems. No water in room for two days, air conditioning problems, too much emphasis but on coral and prestige level that average Joe's felt part of the scenery. The animation staff never new what was happening that night when asked in the morning.. Junior and an older animation staff who i forget his name right now, but his son works in wait staff were great.

Need MORE PROFESSIONALISM FOR SURE, Arielis looked exhausted trying to babysit these bafoons. Tables were always dirty and placemats, never new if your cutlery, or glasses had been used before. Seemed to me overall the place has gone down hill after their renovations. So sad as we always used to enjoy it. Stop trying to push out your average traveller for snobbery, and focus on those who made you what you are....your repeat average customers!! Shout out to Orlando, Baylaise, and kaysie who were fantastic. Oh and Pantara was the animation man I was thinking off.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Nice Place

Overall we enjoyed this resort. It was easy to get around and restaurants, bars etc were close and easy to find. Beach chairs and pool chairs were very good and easy to find. Only a few things we Didn’t like. Resort was very stingy when pouring wine to the extent that when they poured wine into our glass we immediately went to the bar and brought back plastic cups of wine to add to the meaner amount that was originally served. Apparently they do this as instructed by senior management. Also on [... read more] several occasions the bars were not restocked until a few hours after opening. No draft beer was available on at least 3 mornings as well as certain kinds of liquor. Lobby bar was too close to the disco and theatre making it very loud instead of a quiet retreat. There were also too many people smoking everywhere. The serving staff were not well versed in English making it very difficult to get answers or place an order.

Iberostar Selection Paraiso Maya Suites: Beautiful resort!

We stayed at the Maya the 1st week of Feb 2020. It's a beautiful resort. We arrived around 10pm and restaurants were closed, but room service is available 24 hrs a day. The grounds are clean & well-maintained... very pretty. We were in bldg 63 which was perfect & central to pools, beach, restaurants. Our room was large with a king bed, sitting area & balcony facing the wave pool. Buffets were very good with plenty of options. We really enjoyed our vacation.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: A Well Thought Out Resort at last!

First thing we noticed were ramps and very few steps which I haven't come across in past resorts. And the rooms were covered so you were able to get to the lobby and most dining areas under cover if raining. The resort was smaller than I was used and only had one pool but it was a large pool with a shallow area for kids and of course a swim up bar. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Jose who was very attentive and helped out when we needed it and also to Pepsi, funny [... read more] guy and a good archery/rifle instructer. The food was very good with a good selection. Lots of dessert choices. Three alacarte restsurants-Japanese, Mexican and Mediterranean. The coffee could use some improvement but then we discovered the coffee machines in the main dining room and the smaller buffet area which had a big selection of specialty coffees. The beach was nice but the water was very choppy. Lots of chairs poolside and at beach.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: A beautiful place for a relaxing get away!

Only 30 minutes from the airport. There is not one thing I would change about this trip. Hotel room was clean, well stocked the air conditioning worked amazing. A huge tub, lots of hot water all around perfect room set up. The grounds were very well maintained. Very clean. Pool was spotless. Beach was breathtaking, we spent every day there. Plenty of lounging beach chair. Not one flea in sight. No vendors bothering you on the beach at all. Staff and bartenders were fantastic. Polite [... read more], pleasant and always smiling. The food was fantastic. So much fish, shrimp and lobster. Yum! Omelets every morning for breakfast. Lots of variety and delisous. We went to Havanna, the bus tour was 10 hours long and every minute enjoyable. I am so glad we did this excursion. The city was beautiful. Bus trip in to varadero. The market was so fun. Saw the Beatles cafe. Was not harassed by the vendors once. Purshaced lots of sourvienors They were very polite. We felt very safe touring around on foot. Nightly entertainment at 930. Always a good show. Very relaxing and recharging trip. Just way we were looking for.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Great resort

Had a fabulous time, weather was great, food was tasty,and always fresh. Beach was clean ,service good,would recomend it for sure! We did a day trip to Pilar beach, the most beautiful clear water ever,if you go to Cayo Coca,this beach is a must!

JOIA Rose Hall by Iberostar: Was an amazing resort

This was our 4th time to this resort. The staff do not disappoint. They are friendly, pleasant and accommodating. I love the people. What has changed over the years is the beachfront (it is getting much smaller) and the solicitor trying to sell cannabis on the beach. In past years they were never walking the beach but this year they are. At one point there was actually an altercation between a solicitor and a guest and then police. This is unacceptable. I even saw a security guard sleeping when  [... read more]he was “working”. I love this resort but they need to get their beach back to the way it was. A large beachfront and not having guests bothered day after day. I am an IBerostar prestige member and may reconsider returning here.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Amazing Beach!

The resort it self is huge with 3 different sections and about 3k long. You have the Villa section, Family and Adults only areas. I stayed in the Adult only section and the room was a very good size. The food is what you expect for Cuba but plenty of choice. The beach is white sand and clear waters. Great for snorkeling and finding different species of fish. There is also a sunken barge to explore. Staff are friendly and polite, always going the extra mile. Overall a great resort if yo [... read more]u are looking at getting away and enjoying a good break. Highly recommend this resort.

Iberostar Selection Varadero: Very nice resort

It was our first time at this resort Lobby bar area was nice Buffet was exceptionally clean and bright with lots of food choices Bathrooms by the pool and by the buffet only had only 2 stalls often 1 out of order so there was a line up even thou resort was at half capacity I could only imagine if resort was full capacity Our room was clean, service was good, friendly and helpful staff

Iberostar Origin Playa Pilar: Late January 2020

Recently returned from a 7 day vacay to beautiful Iberostar Selection Playa Pilar. The weather was perfect, only 1 windy day. We are a family of 4 with a 4 and 7 year old, and all had a great time. Approx. 30min bus shuttle from the airport. Pros: - Well kept grounds. Newer resort so rooms, restaurants, lobby etc are showing no tiredness or wear. - gorgeous private bay with seating (covered beds and loungers) on a boardwalk and free paddleboats and sailboats to use. Reserve for 1 hour blos [... read more]ks. Bar on boardwalk! - hotel staff were always friendly and kind. No pushy salespeople for excursions, memberships, etc. - Ample selection of food, never went hungry. - Cigar bar - Kids club and private pool and play area. Kids club staff very friendly and assisted with an excellent adhoc birthday party for my 7 year old son and another guest. - additional pool beside the swim up bar that was great for kids. - pools always clean and well maintained. - 20 min walk from resort beach area via trail to Pilar Beach - bar tenders/servers very polite and efficient and never begged for tips. - Not a busy resort, very chill especially down by the beach. No other people from other resorts or salespersons walking on the beach as beach front is not connected to other resorts. - fun to feed to fish near on the boardwalk with bread. - good snorkeling in the bay, saw at least 20 starfish the first day and small reef on right side of bay with more fish to check out. Cons: - A few minor things could of went a long way. - more bowls and spoons in the buffet, would have been helpful, not sure why these were hard to find at times. - salt shakers could use some rice, clogged usually. - some parts of the boardwalk had inadequate boards, not strong enough or damaged. Take your time walking on them, no running. - could have been a better fresh fruit selection (typical of Cuba), only papaya, pineapple, and guava mainly. - resort could not seem to find a bathtub drain, despite advising them 3 times. Eventually made my own solution with bar soap plug. Had to make use of the great tub in the gorgeous bathroom! - MAKE RESTAURANT RESERVATIONS ON YOUR FIRST DAY! Made reservations on day 3 and were only able to make one on our second last day, very disappointed. Went to the Creole restaurant, food was great, excellent soup, however desserts should not have been the same as the ones at the buffet IMO. Conclusion: Pros outweigh the cons which are minor in the grand scheme. I would recommend for families and would come again. Went on a deep sea fishing excursion with my son via the Air Canada rep (Reps meet with you soon after your first day to tell you about resort, area, available excursions, etc.) and we had a blast catching barracudas!
