  Another great trip with the Zumba group and experiencing the wonderful people, beaches, and accommodations at Iberostar

  I’ve been to this resort approximately six times. I was at the resort this February as part of a Zumba group. This is an annualtrip and without doubt it is one of the best experiences I’ve had staying at a resort. The room was clean and extremely comfortable and the grounds were pristine. What makes Iberostar waves special is the staff. Everyone from the groundskeepers to the management makes you feel that you are part of their family. The shows and food were very good as was the service. I also had the opportunity to play golf and the course is spectacular. Iberostar Punta Cana waves feels like a second home, and I would highly recommend it if you’re considering a trip to Punta Cana. I can’t wait for next year to return to the beautiful people and beaches.

  Great trip. Looking forward to going again

  If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to mix fitness, friendship, and a tropical escape into one unforgettable experience, a Zumba trip to the Dominican Republic is exactly that — and more. From the moment we arrived, the energy was electric. Picture this: morning Zumba sessions with the ocean breeze in your hair, palm trees swaying overhead, and the sound of waves blending with the beat of Latin music. Working out never felt like a workout — it felt like a celebration. The instructors were phenomenal. Their passion, positivity, and nonstop energy kept everyone motivated, no matter your fitness level. Whether you were front row owning every move or just finding your rhythm in the back, you felt supported and completely part of the vibe. Beyond the dance floor, the trip was beautifully balanced. We had time to relax by the pool, enjoy stunning beaches, explore local culture, and indulge in amazing Dominican cuisine. The resort accommodations were comfortable and welcoming, and the staff made everything seamless. But the true highlight? The people. There’s something special about bonding through dance. By the end of the trip, we weren’t just participants — we were a family. Laughing between routines, cheering each other on, and making memories that will last far longer than any sore muscles.

  An unforgettable trip

  I just returned from my first trip with Jeaneane’s Zumba group to the Iberostar Waves Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the entire experience! While this was Jeaneane’s 18th year bringing groups to this incredible resort, it was my first time joining, and I can absolutely see why she keeps coming back. **Meeting New Friends** One of the highlights of this trip was the opportunity to meet wonderful new people and form genuine friendships. Traveling with the Zumba group created an instant sense of community and camaraderie. We shared meals, danced together, laughed constantly, and created memories that will last a lifetime. There’s something truly special about bonding with people who share your passion for staying active and having fun! **The Resort - Excellence at Every Turn** The Iberostar Waves Punta Cana truly exceeded all my expectations. As Jeaneane mentioned in her review, this resort has been raising the bar year after year, and it shows. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure guests have the best possible vacation experience. The food was absolutely outstanding with an incredible variety of meal choices. Whether you’re craving international cuisine or local Dominican specialties, the culinary options never disappoint. The two new chefs are preparing the most delicious selections for every meal, and you can taste the quality and care in every dish. **Entertainment and Activities** The nightly shows were “Vegas style” and absolutely spectacular! The Animation Team deserves special recognition for being so entertaining and engaging throughout our stay. They kept the energy high and made sure everyone felt included in the fun, which perfectly complemented our Zumba group activities. **Exceptional Staff** What truly sets this resort apart is the remarkable staff. The servers are top of the line, meeting your every desire with genuine smiles on their faces. The managers, including General Manager Stefano Sturni and the wonderful team of Missy Foy, Santa Rodriguez, Ely Ventura, Elia Estevez, Angelica Albuerme, Francisco, Evelyn, and Chocolate, were visible and attentive throughout our stay. They checked in with us daily to ensure everything was going smoothly and genuinely wanted our feedback. This level of personal attention made us feel valued and cared for every single moment. **Final Thoughts** If you’re looking for an all-inclusive resort that delivers on every promise, please look no further than Iberostar Waves Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.
