    I came here for my son’s wedding.

    I came here for my son’s wedding. It was the best. Daniella did outstanding job organizing it. Everything was perfect: timing, service, people , music- everything! The decoration and tables set up was the work of art! The service workers are the kindest! The food was perfect! Thank you so much!

    Can’t wait to go back!

    Great staff, excellent food, beautiful ocean and fun pool! We also took a jeep tour of the island, which was so worth the affordable price! The taco cart was wonderful and the French fries by the pool were the best. We also really enjoyed our spa treatments. Exceptional staff!

    Super vacation

    Great place with great service like Ruffin and Jonathan. Love all the animals leaving on the resort free so you can have interaction with them. Food was good and the resort super clean. The rooms are great in small like cabanas that makes it very private and calm. And the diving school is on site with the all the boats. Bring water shoes because rocky bottom in the ocean. Go under the bridge to see all the see life.

    Had a Great time!

    This place is amazing!! We stayed the week of St. patty's Day. Food, service, entertainment - all good. I have been to many AI's and this is different than your typical hotel type resort. The bungalow style rooms, no elevators because they are not needed. Flamingo's, talking parrots, Coati's, warthog's & peacocks just roaming around. It takes you less than 5 minutes to get anywhere - from the beach to the front desk. Beach bar is open at 9am! I am an earlier riser so I was out at 5:15am to get a chair under some shade but there were plenty of chairs around during the week we went. Lots of fish under the dock and many people practiced snorkeling around that area. We ate at the Asian & Mexican specialty restaurant's and both were very good. Buffett's always had plenty of options. I never stay at the same place twice because you never know how good/bad a different resort is until you stay there yourself but I would not hesitate staying here again.

    Iberostar never disappoints!

    This is our 3rd stay at Iberostar and we still love it! The staff is just incredible! I didn't meet the cleaning staff but they were so great! From the food service, EVERYONE was so kind and helpful. I do need to give a special shout out to Fabian, Ediel, Alexia, and Victor. Fabian and Victor we met last year. They remembered us which makes this such a great experience! Ediel was my Wine Guy! From the entertainment staff, Sexy Jerry (Gerardo), Super Sexy (Humberto), and Sexy Freddy (Azael): So engaging and FUN. There was a young lady on entertainment that I didn't get her name that is so sweet and good at her job! There seeed to be more "games" played last year so was just a little disappointed that there wasn't more. The bartenders are all amazing. The Asian restaurant was by far our favorite. The Satay Chicken and Honey Glazed Salmon were our go-tos. OMG, the freshly made corn tortillas outside the pool restarurant was TO DIE FOR! Do NOT miss out on this experience! Check in and out was easy peasy. The wildlife on the property is also fantastic. PePe always puts a smile on everyone's faces. I can hardly wait for our next trip to Iberostar!! And a sidenote...last year we heard people voice their displeasure of having cruizers coming in for day passes. We have the opposite opinion. We met so many wonderful people that there just for the day. When asked how we like this resort, we always told them all the great things about this resort.
