The best hotel

Katarzyna W on Oct 03, 2026

Absolutely the best hotel I have ever been to. Clean beach, clean rooms, delicious food, lots of dishes to choose, great nice and smiling staff, they can speak spanish and english. The staff is helpful and don't expect any money. Yoga, pilates and zumba are perfect. Great drinks with fresh fruits. Japanese, Mexican and Italian restaurant are amazing, so as Mercado buffet. Greetings to Mr Pablo doing omelettes - they are incredible! Delicious coffee and fresh juices - from pineapple, melon, pomegranate and many excellent fruit. The pool is pretty. Pool towels for every guest are nice. Pretty lobby. I will definitely come back!

Relaxing and yet entertaining.

Sarah Jane R on Aug 18, 2026

Location, atmosphere, room and value are great. Entertainment is wonderful. Shout to Paola Burgos (bartender/server). She’s attentive and friendly. Made us feel welcome. We love her. Also, the server in the breakfast buffet was excellent.

Nice but needs work

Stacy F on Aug 14, 2026

The room smelled very musty no matter how long or how cold we ran the AC. Everything in the room stayed moist. I thought maybe just how it is with this humidity but talked to others and not the case. My family didn't want to pack up and moved so we stayed. They are closing in a few months to refurbish, hopefully it's fixed. The nightly entertainment was great. The buffet had enough choices even for my picky eaters. The pool is in a little disrepair but I was told that is definitely one of the things being repaired during closing. The beach access is excellent.

Great vacation at Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada

Lynn R on Aug 03, 2026

We visited last week 07/25-07/30. The weather was wonderful, sunny low 90's. Although the resort is old (25 yrs) it is very well maintained with beautiful landscaping. The food at the buffet was good but very repetitive. One criticism is there is only one beer to choose from and it was not very cold. They were very accommodating when they changed our room to the 1st floor after we were given a room on the 3rd floor (no elevators) which was very difficult for our old legs. Lucy and Johancel were extremly helpful with all our needs. Look them up if you need any help as they will accommodate you in any matter possible.
