Disappointed as a repeat Iberostar guest
We have stayed at Iberostar resorts in Punta de Mita and Riveria Maya and this is the worst! The food was bland and there were very few options for vegetarians. The meat was dry and flavorless. The beach restaurant had substandard food (hamburgers). Making a reservation is necessary for dinner because the food is poor quality and the same food each night. If you’re expecting guacamole, pico de gallo or salsa, you will be disappointed-it was not available. The path lighting was not on at night which made it difficult to see and for safety reasons. The beach is beautiful!

Bad experience after 25 years travelling.
If you can chose another hotel do it… Old, food not really quality and always same choices, beach dirty etc etc. The important seems not to be the quality but the quantity for them. From 10 days 3 times same evening shows.

Beautiful, but room to improve
Nice enough hotel, room, restaurants. We had some language barrier issues and difficulty getting dinner reservations. Surprised that there was no dinner buffet, so if you don't get in to one of the restaurants, you could be waiting until the 11pm "snack bar". There is no sports bar, despite it being listed. The concierge is a sales ploy - that was strange. We went to ask about golf and got a pressure-sell of "come to breakfast tomorrow and hear our presentation". That is not what I expect from a concierge. The beach is beautiful, pools are lovely. It was an adequate hotel, but compared to RIU, we were not impressed overall.

Perfect honeymoon
A large complex of about four hotels; we stayed at Iberostar Waves Dominicana. Beautiful hotels, great services, and a stunning sea (there were some seaweeds in the water, but it didn’t really bother us). Two pools and plenty of sunbeds, so even when we arrived later at the pool, we could always find free ones either in the sun or in the shade.

Amazing Iberostar Wave Dominicana family vacation.
We spend beautiful 7 days of family vacation at Iberostar Wave Dominicana. Iberostar Wave Dominicana located by the beautiful beachside of the ocean. The facility well maintained and secured, lifeguards by the pool and beach always present. I would like to say big "Thank you" to our concierge Bella for positive attitude and willingness to help! Bella, keeps you smile all the time 😊 Great, friendly resort atmosphere. Staff trying their best ro have guests entertained by providing daily activities, such as, pool exercises, fun and fit at the beach exercises, some competitive games, dance lessons, and evening entertainment as well. Room there we stayed is clean, enough supplies with air-conditioning. The vacation price slightly overrated bug keep in mind that everything get priced nowadays...The resort all-inclusive and this is what you paid for. I could say that noise level at the resort based on activities that is going on at the certain time. The music played through out the day by the pool and in the back ground at the restaurants. Food at the restaurants decent varieties and you always have something to choose from. The little thing that wasn't pleasant, we went to La Marimba restaurant and had to wait almost 45 minutes to be served, no order was taken, just small appetizer given...Therefore, we had to leave and to go to buffet restaurant for dinner. I don't speak Spanish and cannot get attention of waitresses as quickly as others do! Despite this little incident, our stay overall was marvelous and fun. Great weather, lots of sun with brief episodes of runs but it didn't changed my mind to choose this destination once again. Thank you Iberostar Wave Dominicana and we will return💖
