Iberostar Daiquiri

Dont go here. Only stayed 4 hours and made them move us. Room they gavs us was disgusting dirty and spelly. Went to have some food and there were flys everywhere. No diet soft drinks so if your diabetic you have to just have water. Only good point is the staff. So friendy and helpful.

This was my fourth visit to Cuba, but we went with friends who are new at travelling and wanted to visit. Upon reading the reviews, we picked this hotel as I hadn’t been in that area before. The staff are great, everything else, not so much. We were given the second floor as requested, because if you put towels out to dry, you might get them stolen, as you have a towel card to give back at the end of your stay. No towel card, you pay. I expected this, hence I wanted the second floor. There are NO coffee makers in the room, and the mini bar 2 beers, 1 soda , and 1 bottle of water are filled every TWO days. This hotel was hit badly by hurricane Irma 2 years ago, and there are a LOT of things left to fix. Our room had a broken shower, the toilet kept running, the patio door hinge falling off, the phone didn’t work and the safe didn’t work. The next day, they moved us to the main building which was great, but on the 3rd floor. Great view, no elevators. We are in our 60’s, so we had to rest during our climb. Lol. Wifi is 1 pesos an hour which isn’t bad, but it isn’t free. Also, only available in the lobby if not too many people are online. Food....bring your own. The buffet wasn’t good at all. The omlets were good though, bacon only one day, lots of carbs and sugar, pastries tasteless. The steak was so tough and overcooked that I asked the chef to cook less, and he cut up the main piece that made it chewable. They had peanut butter for 2 days (bring your own). Staff super nice. The Mexican restaurant was quite pleasing, the Italian one the food was much, again cooked to death. They don’t fill up the 3 restaurants and won’t take you even if there are 4 people there, which leaves you the buffet. The one pool was noisy and almost no shade, the beach much better, there were plenty of palapas. Sea grass started about 25 feet out, but nice beach. All in all, I wouldn’t go back, not because of the people, it because the hotel needs a lot of work. We went on two outings, the catamaran, nice, but the boat was overcrowded and the island lunch was awful, and the Spectactular, the all day visit to the town of Moron and surroundings. Bring snacks, peanut butter and coffee mate, should make your trip a little better.

This review is a little late There were no issues flying West Jet ( from Toronto To Cayo Coco January 1-10 , 2019 for our anniversary and my 27th trip to Cuba ( all over).Approximately an hour from airport to the hotel . Refreshments (beer, etc.) were offered on the bus ride while listening to an informative commentary of the area by the rep. Upon arrival , check in was fast as was prepared ahead of time and only passport and signature needed . Off to our room that was in the second farthest block of units as I had requested when booking . No issues with the clean , comfortable bed/living area with mini-fridge or the sizable washroom/shower w/hairdryer . Our chambermaid was very professional ,honest and just a wonderful woman . We found the majority of staff friendly and more than willing to help if needed .The food here is some of the best I have had in Cuba ( I am a trained chef and was pleasantly surprised by the buffet food and I have tried plenty of different hotels to casa particulars the good and the bad .) Not much to say about the pool as we prefer the ocean . We did the hop on bus to Playa Pilar which is beautiful with a great seafood restaurant ( The best properly prepared lobster I have eaten in Cuba ) We rented a scooter and toured off the island a couple times , fished off the causeway and basically just enjoyed our get away from the Canadian winter . The shops in the hotel had some of the most stylish outfits I have never seen in any hotel in Cuba. I bought a wonderful ultra-light cotton pantsuit and a hat to match that got positive comments here at home . We tip and hope you will too as it is greatly earned , appreciated and needed . If you are planning a trip to Cuba for the first time , please research the history of this country for a better understanding of the people that have suffered and persevered through some harsh times .

Just back from a two week stay, we loved every minute. The staff are all great. The evening dancers are just amazing. You will never go hungry, even my fussy 14 year old always found something to eat. The rooms are clean. As is the rest of the hotel. The beach is just beautiful with crystal clear water. Sometimes they do run certain drinks, but a variety of drinks on offer.

Great stay, pretty good food selection for Cuba. People from next door Sercotel were actually walking to our hotel to eat as theirs wasn't as good. Stayed there end of October 2018. Staff is amazing, lots of Russian and Canadian tourists. Beach is very nice, some algae but best efforts are made to mediate the situation. Also, there's a pier to access water which is a nice addition. Only con was the sink was clogged, but, who cares? Highly recommend.
