Resort Needs an Overhaul

Kathy M on Jan 01, 2026

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. The food was consistently bland and poorly prepared, but the worst moment was when my daughter found a metal brush bristle in her fish, which actually went through her gum. That is a serious safety issue and completely unacceptable. The pool was uncomfortably cold, making it hard to enjoy, and the rooms are very dated—old furnishings, tired décor, and clearly in need of a full update. This is not what we expected from a resort at this price point. Overall, the resort feels worn down and poorly managed, with major issues around food quality and safety. We are extremely unhappy with our stay and cannot wait to leave. I would not recommend this hotel and would strongly caution families in particular.

I had never been to any all inclusive resort prior to going to IBEROSTAR at Waves Costa Dorada although I made many visits to Youtube to get some ideas of what to expect. My experience there was totally different from what I expected and in a truly positive way. The staff were very friendly and professional; the rooms and grounds were kept clean and tidy. The restaurants exceeded my expectations by offering tasty and quality food. The Spa was first class and I will return in 2026.

Enjoy and relax

ot576 (Santo Domingo Province, Dominican Republic) on Dec 25, 2025

The staff and the food was really wonderful. Very relaxing that season to travel there. There is a beautiful garden to sit there and enjoy it. The spa center is another level.
