Dec 12, 2025Honest Review – Iberostar Coral Cancun
This was a last-minute change for us. We were originally meant to travel to Jamaica, but due to Hurricane Melissa and work commitments, we had to pivot quickly. We were there the last week of November and first week of December. After hours on hold with our vacation company (like many others), our first choice sold out and Iberostar Coral Cancun became our second option. We had never stayed in Cancun before (only further down the Mayan), and we were there for 14 days, so comfort really mattered. I like a chill, non-snotty 5-star experience: friendly staff, a comfortable room, great food, nice views, and flexibility—some nights dressed up, other nights relaxed. This resort absolutely delivered. Why the Coral side matters: We stayed on the Coral (adults-only) side and it was fantastic. Calm, attentive, and consistently friendly staff. We did visit the Selection side briefly and it felt busier and more family-oriented, with a noticeable difference in atmosphere. Coral was exactly what we wanted. Pools, beach & activities: Never had to save chairs Great pool entertainment (energetic, but easy to find quieter spots) Beach was lovely; just be mindful of undertow on rougher days Fantastic fitness offerings (spin & aqua aerobics daily) Special mentions: Carmen & Saby (pool servers): Truly exceptional—warm, attentive, and memorable (I miss them both) Beto (entertainment): High energy and genuinely fun; so happy every day! Hector (fitness): Encouraging, professional, and consistent; full of smiles! Food: My husband is a foodie and was impressed across the board. Buffets were excellent, especially having our own Coral buffet Steakhouse was the standout (and we’re from Alberta—high praise) Mediterranean and Italian were very good Japanese was underwhelming One important note: unless you’re an Iberostar member, you can’t reserve à la cartes (except Japanese). After 7 pm, waits can be long. For Coral guests paying more, allowing even limited weekly reservations would be a big improvement. That said, the front desk staff did their best to help us. Outstanding service highlights: Jazmin (Coral restaurant manager): Absolutely made our stay—arranged an anniversary cake and champagne, always warm and engaged Esmeralda (hostess): Remembered us quickly, brought mimosas, went above and beyond daily Amando (coffee bar): Best morning coffee and always cheerful Jose (front desk): Kind, helpful, and welcoming The one real downside: The rooms run very warm. We had the AC set to 19°C the entire stay. The hotel was apologetic and brought us a fan (which helped a lot), but fans are limited. After a recent renovation, ceiling fans would have been a smart addition. But, the rooms are absolutely stunning and huge! We did the corner with dual balcony, stunning views. Final thoughts: Despite the minor room issue, we felt safe, comfortable, cared for, and genuinely appreciated. The Coral staff — every single one (and I mean that) — went above and beyond, including management! We don’t visit Mexico as often anymore, but we would absolutely return to Iberostar Coral Cancun. This is an honest review, and I highly recommend it.

Dec 01, 2025The servie here is pathetic. Don't waste your money
The rooms are extremely musty and caused my sinuses to flare up. I requested a room change, I was given another musty room. In my initial booking, I requested a king size bed, I also called in advance to check if it would be given and I was informed that it was all sorted. No one mentioned that the only way I was guaranteed the room I paid for was if I did an online check in. Upon arrival, I was informed that it is not guaranteed despite getting a confirmation via phonecall and the request being listed as confirmed in my reservation. I was put on hold for a very long time when I attempted to call reception to clear this up until I hung up and had to go there personally. I'm not sure what the purpose of the phones are if no one ever answers them. The reception lady was argumentative and unhelpful. This completely dampened my holiday and I will not be returning to any Iberostar hotel again. In addition to this, I had attempted to get transport to the hotel via phone and email and both went unresponded to. This is the poorest customer service I have ever encountered from any hotel.

Great place! You must try..
Staff at this hotel are wonderful. Shout out to, Beto, Adan, Eric, Saby and Alex while out at pool and events. Sara was great at the buffet seating us. This is my third time at the resort this year it truly is a great place. food at this resort is the best we’ve ever had, we’ve been going to all inclusive for 20 years.

Nov 11, 2025Iberostar Cancun missed the mark.
My wife planned a 5 day getaway to Cancun staying at the Iberostar Cancun. this is how it went. Online Booking: Flawles for dates and room. After this it went downhill fast Arrival and Checkin: very long waits to check in. Very hot in the reception lobby area. The room we booked in advance was not available, no upgrade offered to make up for this. Ended up in a double room for 1 night and had to change rooms after 1 night. The front desk check in team was not good and gave misleading information. I had to ask for a supervisor after the staff member who was trying to check us in just failed in his job. Rooms: great space, adequate outlets for charging devices. the double room had very bad mattresses. the next king room was much better. Cleaning staff was very good. Onsite Restaurants: For being quoted online as a 5 star resort most of the restaurants were not was good as the buffet. The buffet staff were nice and well trained. Stay away from the speciality restaurants as they were just not good. To the chefs in these restaurants, try your food first before you serve it. House wines were terrible at each restaurant. Overall not good for the type of resort. Pools and Beach: Fabulous, loved the swim up bar. Good drinks and plenty of seating at both the pools and beach. Wish the entertainment staff spoke more in English as most of the guests were American or European. Staff was great. Wished the towel station was closer to the main pool. Concierge Services: Very good and explained the resort map. I am still wondering why the map had no detail, just a picture. I know IGH can do better that that. IHG Resort App: Never worked right and gave wrong information on when places opened. Poolside Eats: Do not try the taco bar, again just not good. The burger shacks are the best. Coffee Bar: Open 24/7 .....yippee!!! Great choices fast service, also has great grab and go treats. I really wish IGH luck as this not one of your better hotels.
