    Grace Durband at Iberostar

    Alexei was so amazing with our entertainment, we were never bored with him around. He was so awesome. The club is super fun and they have a lot of things to do during the day. I had such a good time at this resort I would definitely come back. I would definitely recommend this place to you.

    Good Family Experience

    We originally booked at Waves, and then upgraded when we arrived to Lindo. Overall, a great experience. The food was good. Buffet selection was varied and good quality. The a la carte restaurants (the first come, first serve ones) were good (we tried Under the Sea, El Museo, la Hacienda), but anticipate that you might have to be patient and wait for a while (sometimes as long as 90 minutes). The reservation-based ones (El Rancho, Hashiru) were good too. We couldn't get in to the one we really wanted (El Rodizio), but overall appreciated the options. If you're in one room, booking the reserved spots is relatively easy. It's more challenging if you're booking multiple rooms, and in those cases, you have to go to their "public relations" staff (who will then try to sell you on their time shares). The Star Cafes are excellent, especially late at night (or if you have a very early flight). The pools were chilly, but didn't deter my kids from them. There was ample seating near the wave pool and volleyball pool, but definitely harder to find at the main pools. The beach was short on chairs (definitely trying to push people into upgrading to the Star Prestige), but was clean and seaweed free. The lazy river was fun, but "too lazy" according to my kids. They had a blast on the slides and water park. My only complaint is that there is only one towel hut, and at the end of the day, lines can get long to do returns. Our kids didn't do the Star Camp, but I appreciated that they have two timeslots a day where you can use the Star Camp facilities as a family. The rooms were pretty standard. Cleaning was thorough. Just be aware that if you're in building 55, the theatre is very loud. Our kids were fine, but if you have light sleepers or early sleepers, consider a different building. In general, the staff were friendly and ran a lot of events. The app has a daily listing of the day's events. The nighttime entertainment was not amazing, and the many "audience participant" events fell flat. Their singing group was particularly painful. However, the Saturday night "Mexican" show was ok. This is definitely an area of improvement.

    Betrayed In Mexico: Iberostar "Hotel Of Horror" Insomnia

    I have a serious autoimmune condition that results in total insomnia (think fatal insomnia) if I consume soy. Because of this I am very selective about resorts I stay at. Before booking with Iberostar I called and asked if my autoimmune condition would be an issue, I was told "we are Iberostar, we can do anything". I currently have not slept in 5 straight days and they literally do not give a rat. Like sure they'll direct me through the endless beaurucracy, but I'm not allowed anywhere near the food preparation and my brother who has a less aggressive soy allergy told them not to use soy. His food was then covered in soybean oil which they evidently don't consider to be soy. Why? Apathy or evil i have no idea but the words "criminally incompetent" come to mind whenever I think of them. I'm currently stuck on this resort miserable and unable to eat anything or sleep. I've lost 10lbs of weight I couldn't afford to lose and my sanity and still nothing meaningful has been done. I have tried conversing in Spanish. I have tried intermittent fasting. F*** the Iberostar. They promised me this wouldn't be an issue and I feel like they just don't give a rat about me or the fact that I wouldn't have come to Mexico unless they promised me this wouldn't happen and now that it is they don't give a rat. I hope no one ever stays at this resort ever again.

    Won’t be back

    Not worth the money. Rated a 5 star resort but probably more of a 3.5 star resort. The beaches and pools were nice, kids had fun in the water slides, weather was lovely, but that’s about where it ends. - The food was questionable and I had food poisoning after eating at the seafood restaurant. The buffets were all lukewarm (nothing hot or cold). Pool side tacos and burgers were the best thing we ate all week. - major coati problem on the beach and poolside. I get it that they live there but they are aggressive and very numerous. Watch out if you are trying to eat they will steal it. At night they are everywhere. Everywhere. - rooms outdated and beds very small. We did upgrade to a king bed because my husband and I could not fit In the double? Bed (that’s generous) but of course an extra fee. -cleaning staff came at all hours and once at 10 pm after we were in bed and the kids were asleep! Odd and scared us! -king room was nice, bed comfy, with these neat little fold out bunk beds for the kids. My daughter loved it. - throughout the trip the time share people and concierge were harassing us to come to their “free breakfast” and “welcome time”. They would interrupt your conversation, call your room 6 times a day (we eventually unplugged the phone). It started to become a game just to get away from them. But honestly it felt like the entire stay someone was just waiting to rip you off everytime you turn around - anything outside of the all inclusive package is EXPENSIVE. Like beyond tourist inflated prices. - be careful at checkout. They did not use the correct exchange rate that day to calculate the price so it was more than it should have been. They use one rate for credit card payments and another exchange rate for cash (which is more expensive). We pointed this out but no luck they wouldn’t honor the correct exchange rate. - service was ok but to be honest the best service and food we had all week was at Johnny rockets at the Cancun airport on the way home. As a repeat customer I was disappointed. I remember the service and the resort to be so much better. Won’t be back.

    Fun Vacation

    My family had so much fun during our stay , Alexei was so much fun at the foam party and beach games. The food was great, the starcafe had great options and is open 24hrs which is nice. The fire shows on the beach and karaoke in the theater was so much fun to be apart of.
