Dec 28, 2024Christmas vacation family of 5 with teens
Our family of 5 with teens/young adults stayed for 6 days over Christmas in a connected family room (2 rooms with a connecting door, 1 room with a king bed, 1 with two double beds). We got a private DAT transfer from the airport to avoid the Air Transat shuttle bus, our plane was late and luggage took a long time, but DAT was ready and waiting for us when we got through. Check-in was quite quick, though I don't think checking in online ahead of time did anything to speed up the process. I think I would not bother to do the online next time. We were assigned a concierge to help us book restaurant reservations. The concierge's job is also to tell about the membership, and we had a few high pressure conversations in that regard, which were not appreciated. We had help and a golf cart to take bags to our room, which was 2 floors up with no elevators, not a problem for us. The rooms were regular hotel rooms, quite spacious, with a balcony on each, and a pullout drying rack on each balcony. A fully closed bathroom in each room with sink, toilet, shower. A huge bonus was that they included a 3rd (single) bed in the double bed room as we had 3 old teens/young adults staying in that room, and sharing a double would've been pretty cozy! I was so pleased, as we hadn't asked for it at all. It fit very easily in the room and made everybody's sleep much more pleasant. The refillable glass water bottles in the room is such a great idea, I like how much waste that cuts out compared to the ubiquitous plastic bottles elsewhere. I also appreciated the canned soda water in the room fridge after a long day on the beach. Kids liked the glass bottles of coke and sprite. I do wish there were chips/snacks in the room, but that's a small detail. We had no trouble finding somewhere to sit on the beach any day, some days we were there just before noon, others we were down before 9. It was full, but each day we managed to find seats under a palapa. I really liked the activities happening on the beach, games and water aerobics etc. The ocean was beautiful for swimming, floating and playing in the waves. We did take our snorkel masks out one day and saw some schools of fish near the buoy line which was fun. We borrowed kayaks from the resort one day for a short paddle along the beaches. It's not really a walking beach - the sand it much too soft, and the incline of the beach at the water too steep to make it enjoyable. But we stayed in the ocean for hours, as did so many others. It was beautiful. Volleyball every day was a favourite of our kids. Buffet food was average - could always find something to eat. The a la carte restaurants were all quite good. We ate at Hacienda (Mexican), Sombrita (Greek/Mediterranean) and Spiaggia (Italian/Steakhouse). There were rarely lineups at the bars, maybe one person in front anytime we went for drinks. They serve all drinks in real plastic cups - way better than the paper cups and straws we had at another resort. At the lobby bar and coffee shop, drinks are served in glasses/glass mugs. No straws, which was fine for us, but others might want to bring an insulated cup with straw. Christmas eve there were drinks and appetizers in the lobby before dinner, "gala" dinner in the buffet, and then a party in the garden near the lobby. On Christmas day Santa visited the beach and handed out presents, we weren't sure, but it seemed like families signed up for this? There is a free book library in the garden area with 2 bookcases full of books. We had a great time, I really enjoyed the careful touches that the resort had clearly thought about, the coffee shop, reducing waste, the decor. We don't go to the same resort twice, but this is one I could see getting a repeat visit.

Dec 27, 2024Family vacation a win
Overall we would revisit this resort again because of the beach and the ocean it is amazing. Stayed in building 5 two separate families. One on top floor one on second floor. The top floor room had a leak in the bathroom ceiling which was pretty significant. Maintenance came in not sure what they did but it leaked every time it rained. Not a terrible issue just annoying and very slippery. I’m sure they did what they could with guests occupying the room. Other family room smelled of mold and musty. The food was good. Entertainment didn’t wow us. Rented one of the beach beds everyday and they allowed us to utilize one at the pool for same $ definitely recommend just to keep stuff in 25.00 per day Kids pool was great for little ones. Ocean was crystal clear and great for snorkeling. Booked with dressel divers the Saona island snorkeling . Definitely not impressed. I’ve had friends do this with other vendors and they were taking to a beautiful beach. We went to a little beach with moldy beach chairs and completely run down. Snorkeling was good. We used Renny Transfer and it was great I would definitely return. But definitely if our room smells moldy I would asked to be moved that is our fault with settling in because we were exhausted and didn’t want to deal with it .

Our time here was the best
Molvis has taken the best care of us, from the very start he connected with our family. He served as an interpreter and helped us have the best time on vacation. He was like the big brother that I never had on vacation. He made our trip so much fun!

Dec 09, 2024Given a moldy stinky mildew room instead of the room I reserved months in advance.
I have stayed at this property numerous times over the last ten years. I reserved months in advance room 1026 on the hotels website. When I arrived they switched my room to room 5001 this room was stinky and smelled of mold and mildew and not habitable. My wife and I contacted the front desk and told them this was unacceptable. They gave me the choice of staying one night in this stinky room and then a room change the next day which was unacceptable or to pay an additional $525.00 to upgrade to room 4117 which I did to avoid spending one night in that stinky room. During or stay we meet the people staying in our originally reserved room 1026 who stated the room was nice with no issues. Our stay was from 11/29/24 to 12/06/24. In closing the desk attendant thought he was doing me a favor getting me this room 4117 for only $525.00 more when in reality you just made my vacation more expense. Iberostar you should be ashamed of treating a loyal repeat customer in this manner and make this right and also condemn or fix the mold and mildew issue in room 5001.
