Iberostar Waves Club Cala Barca

I stayed twice at Iberostar Cala Barca over the summer and had a pleasant stay on both occasions. The service was good and consistent across my 2 stays. I have been to quite a few Iberostar properties and I think this one ranks among one of my favourites. It’s not the most luxurious I have stayed at, but there is something about the property that made it enjoyable each time. I like the fact that the hotel is spread out which makes it feel less like a hotel and more like a small town. Granted it means a lot more walking but that didn’t bother me. The facilities are good, there I think 10 swimming pools, the entertainment is varied and there is always something available to do. I also liked the fact they have multiple restaurants to choose from and my favourite one was the one by the beach. While the food selection is limited compared to the main restaurant, the setting by the beach is definitely worth the compromise. I’ll definitely not hesitate to come back as I felt the price we paid for what we got far exceeded our expectations.

We had a lovely holiday here. The food was varied and very good. Lots of activities, for every age group, great entertainment and lovely staff. I'd like to especially thank customer relations Raul Garcia for ensuring we were happy. He was excellent. The older man who checked us in was also extremely helpful and gave us a lovely welcome to the resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our week, and have no complaints. The cleaning service was amazing too. A couple of small suggestions would be a rubber mat for the shower as it was very slippy especially trying to wash a 2 and 3 year old. A kettle and some mugs would have been nice too.

At first sight, the hotel looks very promising – it has a large territory, good food, and pleasant staff. However, once we received our room, it was far from the standard you would expect from a 4-star hotel. The room was extremely small, with a musty, old smell, more reminiscent of a guesthouse than a proper hotel. The most concerning issue was the shower: the water temperature was completely unstable, switching between cold and dangerously boiling hot. This created a real fear for our children, as the water could have burned them. We reported this problem to the manager several times, but the response was dismissive, and it felt like the “technicians” were never actually available to fix it. On the third day of our stay, the ceiling in the bathroom collapsed in the middle of the night. Thankfully, our children were not inside at that moment. This was a terrifying and unacceptable incident, raising serious questions about how the hotel maintains its rooms and ensures guest safety. When we reported this, the staff seemed more concerned with checking in new guests than addressing our urgent problem. Only after several complaints did they move us to a different room – unfortunately, the water issue remained exactly the same. For the high price we paid, the experience was deeply disappointing. The facilities and service we encountered felt closer to a 1-star standard than the advertised 4 stars. We sincerely hope the hotel management takes these issues seriously to prevent such dangerous and unpleasant experiences for future guests.

We have stayed at this hotel for the sixth time and have always had a wonderful holiday, with everyone treating each other in an extremely friendly way. This holiday, for the first time, there was a small incident for which no one was at fault. The staff simply needed some help, and we were met with incredibly friendly assistance. I can only express my gratitude and truly appreciate being at this hotel. 🙏👌 Above all, I would like to highlight that the manager, Abel Paniagua, does an outstanding job, the kind I have rarely experienced, and which many more exclusive resorts could learn from. Absolutely recommended, especially as there are hundreds of possibilities for family members, from the pool and beach to activities, entertainment teams, and more. The rooms are always kept perfectly clean, with fresh towels provided daily, and every request is attended to. The pools are exceptionally well maintained, cleaned every morning, and the hygiene standards are excellent. What we especially want to highlight is the food, one of the many highlights we enjoy here. It is wonderfully varied and truly better than in many other hotels. We love it here.

I recently stayed at the Iberostar Selection Cala Barca Hotel for 9 days, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional, with a brilliant variety of options, and the drinks were just as impressive. The swimming pool, activities, and shows were all fantastic. Personally, I loved the Rock Show, but my kids were completely enchanted by the Frozen performance—truly something for everyone. The restaurants were excellent, the staff were incredibly respectful and attentive, and every interaction made our stay even more enjoyable. I can honestly say this is one of the best hotels I have ever visited. Since 2019, I hadn’t found a place that could match my last amazing holiday experience—but Iberostar Cala Barca has absolutely surpassed it. I am definitely coming back! It was an extraordinary experience, and if I could, I would give 10,000 stars. Special thanks to Danny—he is unbelievable! You truly need to keep him forever. Also, Robert and Luci were outstanding. Every single staff member contributed to making our stay perfect. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience!
