The same resort experience that we had while visiting 15 years ago - the resort needs updates

Eugene_Vit (New York City, New York) on Nov 18, 2025

We had an overall positive experience while visiting this resort, mostly because of the large group of family/friends traveling with us. There are not many activities throughout the day unless you are a fan of Bingo or beach volleyball. You have to do most of the day planning yourself. There were almost no activities at the pool during the day and only some afternoon activities at the beach. The customer service is very good at this place. Employees in this resort make you feel welcomed and are always ready to help with your needs. Leaving a small tip for the hardworking folks goes a long way here. The rooms are clean but slightly outdated. They haven't been updated in at least 12-15 years. All rooms are still using magnetic room key cards that constantly stop working. Almost daily we had to go back to the lobby to re-activate the keys. In addition, the food choices are very limited, and one should not expect an amazing culinary experience while visiting any specialty restaurants in the resort. We were looking for "typical" local food, and it was not readily available. Depending on the day and weather, you may end up with a lot of seaweed on the beach. During the first six days of our vacation, there was no seaweed on the beach. However, in the last two days, there was plenty of seaweed. I guess it depends on the wind and how active the ocean is. Positives • Exceptional Customer Service: Employees are welcoming, helpful, and attentive to guest needs. • Cleanliness: The rooms are well-maintained and clean. • Group Experience: The resort serves as a good base, especially when traveling with a large group of family/friends. Negatives • Limited Activities: Very few scheduled activities throughout the day (especially at the pool). Guests must plan their own daytime entertainment. • Outdated Rooms & Technology: Rooms are visibly dated (estimated 12-15 years without updates). • Constant Key Card Issues: Magnetic key cards frequently stop working, requiring almost daily trips to the lobby for reactivation. • Limited Food Selection: Food choices are restricted, and the specialty restaurants do not offer a high-quality culinary experience. • Lack of Local Cuisine: Authentic, typical local food was not readily available. • Inconsistent Beach Conditions: The amount of seaweed on the beach is highly variable, depending on weather and ocean activity.

DO NOT PURCHASE IBEROSTAR GIFTCARDS

Bradley H on Nov 16, 2025

** Do Not purchase Iberostar Gift Cards*** One incident wrecked a good week at Iberostar Waves Dominicana. We were gifted Iberostar gift cards as a gift. I had asked during the week how to use it and after asking many staff how to use them, I was assured by a manager (Luis), who looked into them that all we would need to do is charge the services to our room and upon check out, the credits from our gift card would be used to cover the charges. When the time to check out came, the person who attended us (Wagner) did not know how to do the transaction and wouldn’t let us leave until we paid the outstanding balance. Long story short, I had to go to an ATM to withdraw money, was charged over $16 service fee to pay. Their system wouldn’t accept my credit card. Through the whole process, even though I was frustrated, I was never rude to the attendant but he still called security on us. All we were trying to do is use was a service that was purchased from Iberostar. If Iberostar is not willing to train their staff on how to use the gift cards, they should not be selling them. This whole incident left a bad taste and we Will not be vacationing at an Iberostar again.
