GBAVOID IBEROSTAR HOTELS ALTOGETHER AVOID IBEROSTAR HOTELS ALTOGETHER. They attempted to scam us the day before arrival to Tucan in Playa del Carmen. We couldn't log into the app, so we called to get help with this. Upon calling the reservations department, they told us that our reservation in fact was not confirmed (despite receiving a confirmation email when we booked months prior). They told us that when we booked, someone else had booked at the very same time; this caused our booking to be invalid and not in the system according to them. To confirm our booking, we needed to pay the current rate, which was 70 USD extra per night. We were freaking out that we had just flown all the way to Mexico and did not have a confirmed booking, and totally outraged that they were JUST NOW telling us this fact and demanding more money from us. After MUCH arguing and demaniding to speak to a supervisor, and then their supervisor, they agreed to reduce this rate by 50% (first sign this was a scam). We stood our ground and they finally waived this altogether. We then demanded to speak with the front desk at Tucan, who said our reservation was indeed confirmed and we were good to go. So that proved that the whole "you have no confirmed booking" was all a scam by the reservation department of Iberostar. This caused us the most insane amount of stress the day before arrival; half the family was in tears, and we were about to pay this extra money they claimed we owed because we had no other choice (or place to stay being Easter). Luckily, we held our ground, and getting through to our resort directly resolved everything. This experience completely caused us to lose all trust in Iberostar in general, and despite a wonderful vacation at Tucan, we will NEVER book a stay at any Iberostar in the future. We have spread the word on this experience on the Facebook page for Iberostar, so hopefully this will warn others to not book with Iberostar. It's such a shame that they run such a shady operation and try to get more money out of customers who are already paying such a premium and all of our hard earned money for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Such a shady dishonest company.

GBGreat holiday We spent one full week in the Iberostar Lagos and it is one of the best hotels we were ever been. Sophia and her entertainment team are brilliant. Activities and workshops. Food is fresh and loads of varieties. Different choices every day. Short walk to Lagos. Beach is nice and clear. Bed is so comfortable. Staff in general are amazing and welcoming. We came to relax and we had a great experience. We already talked about come back. And we usually don’t repeat same holiday ever.

GBStayed at Iberostar Rose Hall Suites in … Stayed at Iberostar Rose Hall Suites in Montego Bay; Jamaica. Well thought out place to stay. All inclusive, main reception desk staff overall good. Cleanness of rooms need work on. Some part of the hotel needs maintenance. Though during my stay, there were some building work in progress. Very expensive hotel, the price could be more competitive.

From friendly staff to quality of bedrooms and great all inclusive buffet and food near pool side.The cleanliness of the pool area , with no rubbish or empty uncollected employees glasses. Sandy beach is minutes away at the back of the hotel , well worth the dip in the sea. Evening entertainment again was up to west end quality. Thumbs up to the hotel manger , exchange of money at the reception throughout the day and night in all currencies at competitive rates. Large double rooms with 5 star quality bathroom showers , water fountain near the rooms for filling up water bottles with cold icy water , air conditioning worked , reception assisted in all queries we raised.

GBThe Iberostar Selection Kantoui Bay The Iberostar Selection Kantoui Bay, although in my estimation, not a 5 star hotel, the staff make the difference. The cheerfulness, constant attention and cleanliness it appears is what is holding up this ‘tired’ once acclaimed 5 star property. The Iberostar brand can only be maintained if the ‘management’ invest in upgrading the overused parts of this magnificent property. I feel I must commend Amelie, the supervisor of the cleaning and management of the fourth floor who listened and understood my Complaint and worked quickly and efficiently to rectify what could have ended up as a disaster! As someone who has worked in the travel and tourism industry for over 50 years, 25 of which was running my own high end tour operation business successfully in London, I have designed some of the most luxurious tailor-made tours around the world. Being my first visit to Tunisia, I was impressed by the people I came across and I have every intention of returning, more likely to share my experience with the rest of my family. Thank you one and all! V.Rozario
