    Best resort on the Island. 10 out of 10

    Wow!!! Love this resort. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff is absolutely amazing. We have been visiting twice a year for several years. We tried a couple different resorts on the island and nothing compares. Rooms are clean and fridge is stocked daily. Pool is large, beach is beautiful. Bring water shoes because it can be rocky walking in from the beach. We only ate at the buffet, the food was exceptional with a huge variety to choose from. There’s a dive shop on resort, but we have had great dives with scuba Tony. You can see lots of cool fish snorkeling right in front of the resort. I give Iberostar waves Cozumel 10 out of 10. Huge shout out to Cindy in the breakfast and lunch buffet ( she is our go to person) Wilbert is amazing, and Fabian will make sure if it’s not on the buffet he’ll find it for you. Love, love, love this resort. Give it a try.

    Location location!

    Great beach front location with a dive centre taking divers and snorkellers out from the pier there. Lovely rooms in 1-2 storey blocks of 1-4 rooms. A bit dated inside especially for a 5* resort but in keeping with the style and were clean.l and well equipped. Coffee bags, mini bar (sparkling water, sodas & beer). Water was refillable ourselves in glass bottles from nearby sites around the grounds. The restaurants were great. Lots of choice. Breakfast at the buffet restaurant. Lunch at a different buffer. Didn't use the beach snack bar. Then dinner at the buffet or choice of restaurants. The restaurants were first come so a few times had to join a waiting list then got a WhatsApp when table ready. All inclusive cocktails and wines were good. We got there via the passenger ferry then taxi and got one easily when leaving. Lots of animals around and fish in the sea. Felt like being on safari spotting coatis, wild pigs, racoons, iguanas, lizards etc.

    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.
