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.

GBStaff are all great without exception Staff are all great without exception! The hotel was clean throughout as was the individual bedroom cleaning. Ample room in the bathrooms with lovely complimentary products inc. Great choice of food at each sitting, however the temperature of the food could definitely be improved on. The entertainment team are all friendly and enthusiastic. Daytime activities varied from archery, boules, aquarobics, darts, ping pong etc. Nighttime entertainment could be improved. The team put shows on which whilst obvious there’d gone a lot of hard work in to them, there was a lot of miming to background music which wasn’t always the best. There were some good live groups on in between which helped but for us personally the daytime activities were the better of the two by far. This hotel is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to the incline in which the hotel is situated. We never had any issues getting Sunbeds at any time of the day. There’s a separate adults only sunbathing section but unfortunately you have to walk through the designated smoking area to get to it, which isn’t ideal. Overall good value for money 👍🏼Will we return? Yes.

CAIberostar Playa Mita, Mexico We stayed at the Iberostar Playa Mita, Mexico. It was a nice resort, good food (except for evening buffet), staff excellent - very friendly. Limited Vegetarian options but they were good. My only complaint was the room cleaning was not thorough - made beds, emptied garbage, changed towels, but did not wipe down counters in bathroom or in room. Daily had to request 2 face cloths, even though tips were left. It is far from Puerto Vallarta, so expect to pay taxi's if you want to leave resort. Overall had a great relaxing time. I would definitely go back.
