Iberostar Waves Quetzal - All Inclusive

Beautifully laid out property with natural landscaping, an interesting howler monkey rehabilitation program onsite, and meandering footpaths and foot bridges connecting you to the resort areas. Food was very good and the beach was beautiful. One of the best and most pleasant resorts in Playacar. Good tip: When shopping in town, insist on using your credit card and pay in U.S. dollars. Let your bank card do the currency exchange for you. Don't fall victim to sneaky math or offerings of 'free' tequila shots at the point of sale.

This is our fourth time staying at this resort and it’s always great. The food and drinks were good. The staff was really kind and helpful.

The rooms were very clean. Decently modern but was advised they are renovating may 2026. The only thing that I found a little annoying was that to get to the main buffet if you’re on the one side, you certainly have to zigzag your way over to it. There’s no direct path. I don’t know if that’s gonna change with the renovations, but I did find getting to all the restaurants you had to walk a lot.

Service was excellent, the staff was very helpfull.
