Although the rooms we kept fairly clean there was 1 giant cockroach about 1inch long in our shower, the pool needed allot of attention, dirty pool, entertainment was 3 out of 10. At the beach, the Coati animals were everywhere making it impossible to sit and eat peacefully, we always had to stand and eat, some were somewhat aggressive and would not hesitate totale your food right out of your plate. At checkout staff refused to honor our hotel certificates.We will not be returning to this resort. There are many others in the area for less money, and better quality food, entertainment and cleanliness.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for choosing Iberostar Waves Paraiso Del Mar for your holiday and for sharing your experience with us.Our main goal is to provide our guests with an exceptional experience that exceeds their expectations. Therefore, we are concerned to hear that you encountered inconveniences during your checkout. We would like to emphasize that at Iberostar, service orientation and personalized attention are of utmost importance, and we prioritize ensuring a memorable vacation for all our guests. We assure you that our front desk team does everything in their hands to accomplish this by assisting our guests the best possible way.Regarding cleanliness, we were very surprised to read your comments, as we are characterized by our immaculately clean hotels and we follow strict hygiene protocols.However, being in the middle of the jungle makes it challenging to avoid insects completely despite our efforts and cleaning protocols.

First off, you’ll get locked out of your room at least 2 times within 4 days. Our keys stopped working twice and they blamed it on the magnet even though we did not keep the key anywhere near something that would damage it. Second, don’t go to the spa if you only speak English. The staff did not understand me and could not explain the process to me. I ended up leaving out of confusion and frustration. Third, DO NOT agree to a sales pitch. They will not tell you about the 90 minute presentation until it’s too late to back out. They sell it to you with a free breakfast at the 5 diamond resort next door. The breakfast was worse than the one at our resort by a long shot. The free gift was the trip to the spa (and you can read how that turned out for us). Fourth complaint, do not listen to the dress code that they say they have. They do not enforce it. When I asked if they enforced it, they said “not really”. So we sat at a “5 star” restaurant and I got to stare at peoples feet and no sleeved arms while I’m sitting there sweating in pants and a long shirt. Bars do not open at 10 more like 10:30-11:00. If it rains during the day there is basically nothing to do. Staff was not very engaging for most of the trip other than the events people but even they didn’t seem into it for most activities. Our server at the seafood restaurant helped us out with something and we were so glad to have good service that we tipped her $30. Airport has better shops than the resort. I could keep going
