Iberostar Waves Paraíso del Mar - All Inclusive

Great Pool, friendly staff, average food, but waives is the lowers category in Iberostar, if you want to have better experiencia: Iberostar selection Maya is your Hotel.

Iberostar was a beautiful resort and everyone was extremely nice and helpful. There were lots of activities throughout the day and the mall was neat to go walk around and explore. A few things to note- ours said we had a $300USD resort credit but it was a discount program. You had to spend $100 to get $25 off. It wasn’t at all like a traditional credit program. The non-motorized activities were great but the operating hours h were limited 10-1230 and 130-4 and you were only given 1 hour per day for everyone to be able to use. The restaurant reservation system only allowed you to reserve each day for some reason. I had success by messaging the concierge at 7 am and seeing what was available. Just keep in mind certain restaurants are only open certain days. We missed out on hibachi because it was closed the day we wanted to go. Overall it was a great experience. There was wildlife all around and plenty to do. We will definitely come back.

The pools and evening shows were amazing , for the most part staff was incredible - food was okay.

Enjoyed all of the wildlife. Beach setup was great! Pools were hot and dirty. Not refreshing at all. Expected better food at buffets and restaurants at this level of resort. Have been to many AI resorts in Riviera Maya and food was much better at less expensive resorts like Sandos, El CID, Riu. We paid to up grade to Lindo from Beach for the AC at buffets and lobby bar but felt food quality/AC was lacking overall.
