Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Good Resort - Don;t go for the food.

Everything about this resort was great except for the food. The grounds, pool, beach and staff were excellent. The rooms were good and clean but somewhat tired looking. The food was cold, over cooked or undercooked, over salted and generally not nearly as good as other resorts even Cuban resorts.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: This was a very nice resort

The hotel was excellent and the service amazing the food was good and the room was clean the beach was nice I would recommend this resort to every body and i already told my friend about it and wouldn't think twice on going back .

I would take my family back again we all had a fantastic vacation. I would recommend this beautiful resort

Iberostar Coral Holguin: Wonderful week in Cuba

We stayed at the Iberostar Holguin, Coral Level. It was the best decision we could have made if you want an adults only experience. The staff were warm, friendly and very accommodating. The resort is stunning, rooms beyond comfortable, and the outside shower was to die for. The food was great except for 2 meals, if you can't find something to eat at one of the 5 restaurants or the buffet, you have a problem. Pools beautiful and entertainment entertaining

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Good

Amazing workers, very helpful and great entertainment. Hotel needs updating and renovations on rooms and grounds. Beach is definitely the strong point, very clean and beautiful. Food is hit or miss. Japanese is the best a la carte, we went twice. Italian we couldn’t eat at all, do not suggest booking it. The best at the buffet is the grilling stations. We had an amazing meal in Varadero at Mojito restaurant, definitely recommend.

Iberostar Origin Playa Alameda: Clean but needs better service

It has beautiful clean grounds but lack of service. It says it offers king beds and coffee makers but they don’t. 90% of rooms is two double beds that are not comfortable at all but are clean. Maids due a great job. Buffet is very good and the only place you get great service. Bars are always a wait and there is no waitresses except if you sit in main entrance and even then it’s a good half hour wait for anything. I would give it a three star at best.

Iberostar Origin Bella Vista Varadero: Spend your money elsewhere

I was very disappointed in this resort, the room had large amounts of black mould in it, water damage on the ceiling and walls, bed sheets were not changed the whole time we were there, no toilet paper left in our room one day, I had to beg another housekeeper for a roll and only got it after I showed her what little we had left in our room. We tipped every day, so it is not because we did not tip. Several of the elevators do not work around the resort, I read about this prior to going and it s [... read more]eems to be an on-going issue. Some of the public washrooms around the resort do not have toilet paper, hand soap or paper towels past noon and many of the times the washroom doors are locked from the inside with no one in them. The hallways have several holes in them where the tiles have broken, but it has caused holes 2 inches deep, some greater than 4 inches wide. An accident waiting to happen. The food on the buffet was good and I was never hungry, but after 10 days, I was tired of eating what little selection they had. The a la cartes are usually better than the buffet. Not so much with this resort. Their Steakhouse does not have steak on it's menu, or even beef at all. How can it be called a steakhouse? The food in it was okay. While we were at the Teppanyaki restaurant I had a cockroach run across the bar in front of me while the chef was preparing our food. I trapped him under a cup so everyone else did not know. I understand it's a tropical location, but still not nice to see. The drinks were great and we never had to wait very long to get a drink, no matter where we went. The staff were amazing and very friendly at the bars and restaurants. The few shows we did see were very good. The singers they have on staff are amazingly talented. When we were there, they decided to rip up the stage and perform the shows in the main lobby. It was hard to get a seat when the show was done inside (rain, windy) and when it was done on the patio, seats were also just as limited because they just don't have the seats available for a show. You could not sit in the lobby and enjoy a drink during the showtimes because you couldn't hear yourself think with the show going on, and there was no where else to drink other thank the snack bar at that time, but they did not have the same selection. Not a huge deal, but, it ended our evening early a few nights because we could not find seats for the show, did not want to stand, and could not hear each other talk at the lobby bar because the show was happening right there. I will never return to this resort, or Varadero, this is my second time in Varadero and I have not enjoyed either trip. I have been other places in Cuba and will stick with them. I will not recommend this resort to anyone, ever.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: A Great Resort !

Just back from an amazing week at the Daiquiri. We had read many negative reviews prior to leaving. Well we just don't understand what the negativity is all about. The staff are awesome, especially the pool entertainment team and the bartenders. The buffet/kitchen staff are so friendly and nice. Beautiful lobby and grounds. The beach is beautiful. Lots of umbrellas for shelter from the sun on both the beach and at the pool. The food is really good. Lots of variety, well prepared and much of it ' [... read more]to order'. Rooms were good - comfy bed king size bed, mini bar, excellent maid service and a very modern bathroom. Only problem we had was very low hot water pressure in the shower for a few days. It did eventually get fixed. A great week at a great resort. I highly recommend the Iberostar Daiquiri in beautiful Cayo Coco and hope you have as great an experience as we did.

Iberostar Origin Daiquiri: Loved our holiday!

From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The resort is clean and well maintained with a staff who work very hard to please. The food was very good. Selection was vast and always plentiful. The waitstaff are wonderful, so personable and courteous. Our room had a great view with clean towels and restocked water and occasional beverages every day. Only problem was the hot water pressure in the shower. This was looked after by the end of our week. Amazing beach with chairs  [... read more]available all the time.

Iberostar Origin Laguna Azul: Couldn’t wait to leave!

I’ve never been on vacation before and wanted to leave early. I felt very disappointed in this resort and its management. This is no where near a 4.5 star, not even for Cuba. If you haven’t already booked your trip and you value a comfortable stay with edible food then I’m going to suggest booking elsewhere. If you already booked the resort then see my survival tips below... My survival tips: bring lots of snacks, snacks also available in the gift shop, drink alcohol for calories,  [... read more]you might want packets of Heinz ketchup & maple syrup for pancakes and bring a zip tie in case your shower head won’t attach. The good: -The ice cream lady is the best part of this resort -The fries change daily but they were our go to breakfast food because the buffet is horrible -The Japanese a la carte was the best. Make sure you book your a la cartes or you’re going to starve -The lobster medallion appetizer in Casa Lasa was one of the best appetizers I’ve had in any restaurant. -Find Elizabeth, a server in the buffet in the small separate dining area. She comes on out of no where but she’s very attentive and a hard worker. -The frozen girly drinks are excellent. Order a few at a time because service can be slow. -The beach is one of the best in the world, except the resort had no part in this. Thank Mother Nature. The hotel sort of impacted my ability to enjoy it due to its miss management and lack of maintenance. -The pool area is great we were here most of the trip -The A/C worked well in the room The bad: -Italian a la carte missing two main courses. Menu is hard to understand. Same level of pasta is available in the buffet. Avoid the beef appetizer... unless you like thinly sliced raw beef on a plate. -The bar service and waitstaff can be a little slow or ignore you completely despite tipping them -Musty smell in room -I love my coffee and the coffee was hit or miss. Suggestion: small coffee maker in the room. I would have loved a small coffee maker in the room so I could sit and enjoy a cup of coffee on the balcony. I didn’t drink hardly any coffee on this trip because it was cold or there were coffee grounds inside my cup. -Water shut off Mon, Jan 20 around dinner time for repairs. So much for showering before dinner. -Cold shower the following morning -Having no towels on the day of departure for the pool or to shower with. Maybe a few towels in the spa area available. I brought one towel from home because that’s all I could fit in my suitcase. This was where the air canada rep advised us to shower as our plane left at 10pm. The ugly: -Rm 14311: No room safe as advertised. As per hotel policy they are not responsible if items go missing and weren’t locked in a safe. Except our room didn’t have one. Air canada rep tried to get me another room, however room we were offered was subpar to the one we were in, except it had a safe. We opted to stay in the room and carry valuables with us. Except it made it hard to enjoy the beach because I had to watch my bag. -The buffet food is cold and mostly inedible. Interesting after tastes, textures and temperatures. It was definitely a deal breaker for us on never returning. -Avoid the outdoor buffet. I had a fly in my food and other guests told me they witnessed birds eating the rice in the tray and staff shooing them away. There is bird droppings all over the sitting area. Suggestion: cover the food with a clear lid people can lift off. Clean up the bird poop more regularly. -The hand railings in building 14 on the right side from the 2nd to 3rd level are extremely loose and unsafe. They need a few bolts added and tightened. End caps are missing. -Bread used for burgers. Then one day we went full keto because they were out of bread and buns. -The elevators don’t seem to work so if you have someone with a disability that needs an elevator or in my case have to drag heavy luggage up a few levels of stairs. -During our stay we received several insect bites. We never noticed any mosquitos and only spent an hour or two at the beach. So really hoping they aren’t bed bug bites. -If other guests are rowdy and inappropriate... don’t expect them to do anything about it This resort has so much potential due to it’s location and lay out. So I really hope management is paying attention, taking notes and taking action on making improvements.

Iberostar Waves Rose Hall Beach: Above Expectations

Everthing about this resort is first class. The staff are so accommodating and friendly. Beautiful spacious room (Ocean Front junior suite) . Nice flight with Air Canada on spacious plane. The food was fantastic. Do your own research on any excursions you might wish to take. Air Canada's agent's recommendations and follow through were very inadequate.

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada: Great experience,

Hotel was excellent , food best in DR yet, Very impressed by their introduction of elimination of single use plastics and water filtration system. First hotel ever to offer face clothes daily and ice machines.

Beauty hotel, awesome grounds, well manicured common areas, pools and beach front. Room service and accommodations was a fantastic experience. Restaurants and Buffet were excellent. Nightly entertainment was top drawer. Enjoyed our 10 day stay to the Max .

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana: Amazing resort

This resort was lovely, the grounds were so well kept, the room we had 5155 was great, close to the pool area with a garden view as well as ocean view. The food at all the restaurants and buffets was delicious, something always for everyone. The beach is beautiful and always lots of choices for chairs and palapas.

Iberostar Waves Paraiso del Mar: fantastic resort

This is one of the best resorts we've been to. Every thing is so clean, the grounds and the rooms. The room smelled so nice after it was cleaned. We love that they are into recycling. All the staff are extra friendly. The management personal were always checking on everything. The food was extra special. We like to see the Staff sitting down at meal time and eating, laughing and just talking to the guests.

Iberostar Selection Ensenachos: Terrible restaurant, even for Cuba

We have stayed here SIX times. The food was one reason we returned. Many things were missing on their menu. Salmon, shrimp, lobster, lamb, one other fish and a desert item, no longer serving Canadian beef but something that resembles a chew toy. This is their show case restaurant at the resort. They charge other people at the resort 50 extra pesos to eat there. The sea food specialty restaurant was also closed part way through the week.

This is their third manager in three years and in my opinion, the worst. We will not return.!

Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun: Amazing Resort

The Iberostar Selection Coral Level is fantastic and ranks at the top of the many hotels we have stayed at. Hotel staff are very helpful and friendly. Rooms are fantastic and well kept. Room service staff are amazing and housekeeping is fantastic. It probably has the best food I have ever eaten in the Riviera Maya. It is always fresh and the menu options are delicious and different daily. I would recommend this hotel resort to anyone wanting an amazing stay

JOIA Paraiso by Iberostar: Very elligent and food amazing

The hotel was nice, food was decent for a Cuban resort... there were always a few basic things missing like lemon for the fish or ketchup for fries but not a big deal. The staff made our trip, everyone was always happy and wanting to do their best to help. Thank you Tammy for booking our last minute trip
