Iberostar Waves Dominicana

Our experience at Iberostar was excellent. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and extremely attentive throughout our stay. The 24-hour buffet was always well-stocked with a wide variety of quality food, and the dining area was consistently clean and well-maintained. We were impressed by how diligently the staff worked to keep everything organized and spotless. The energy and ambiance of the resort were vibrant and fun. There was never a shortage of things to do, as the entertainment team offered a great variety of daily activities, including interactive games by the pool and engaging events throughout the property. Their enthusiasm helped create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere for guests of all ages. The resort also made it incredibly easy to explore the surrounding area. Staff members were readily available to coordinate and guide guests through off-property excursions, making the planning process simple, convenient, and stress-free. Overall, Iberostar provided a fun, relaxing, and memorable vacation experience that we would happily recommend to others. In fact, after our 7-day stay, we were not ready to leave. We actually looked into extending our trip and, if it had not been for the high cost of changing our flights, we would have happily stayed another week. That is not something we typically say, no matter where we travel, and speaks volumes about how much we enjoyed our time here.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, everything was excellent—the service, the cleanliness of the facilities, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, which made my stay truly special. I would like to give special recognition to the animator Yenifer D’aza, who provided outstanding service. Her charisma, energy, and professionalism made every activity fun and memorable. She was always smiling, spreading joy, and making every guest feel comfortable and included. Her dedication and exceptional attitude truly made a difference in our experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a lively, enjoyable atmosphere.

Honest 3-star experience in a great beach location 3/5 stars We stayed for 7 nights at Iberostar Waves Dominicana on an all-inclusive basis. Overall, it was a mixed experience — some areas were excellent, but others fell short of true 5-star standards. The positives were standout: The reception area was clean and welcoming, and the front desk staff (especially Gio) were friendly, helpful, and always went the extra mile. The bar staff were brilliant — great drinks, excellent selection of premium brands, and very friendly service. The swimming pool was clean with plenty of sunbeds. A real highlight was Maria “Drinky Drinky” — what a lovely, happy soul! She served drinks all day with the biggest smile, shouting “I love you!” to guests and bringing so much light and energy to the place. She deserves special recognition for how well she connected with everyone. The gardens were immaculate, and the beach was fantastic — one of the best stretches of Bávaro Beach. The entertainment was great especially Michael Jackson. The food in the buffet restaurant had plenty of tasty options and good variety, but service issues were consistent. Tables were often dirty or not properly set. Dishes were dirty too and they regularly ran out of cutlery, bowls, mugs, and glasses at every meal, no soup bowls or spoons for soup or ice cream (See photos) And the hotel wasn’t even busy, so I wonder how they manage during peak season….. The staff were friendly but clearly need better training on basic tasks like clearing and resetting tables. We only went to eat at the Mexican à la carte. Food was good but not much of a choice. The bedrooms were tired and in need of renovation, although they were cleaned daily. We personally wouldn’t rate this as a 5-star hotel — more like a solid 3-star. That said, the beach location and some wonderful staff (especially the reception staff Juan, Hipolito in the restaurant who always made us welcome, very friendly and made sure he got us a table, Maria and the bar team) made our stay enjoyable. The reception staff do try and sell you a share in Iberostar Hotel and ask you to go to the morning meeting. We did go but wouldn’t recommend it. It’s definitely not worth it, despite their selling techniques. Would we return? Probably not in its current condition, but we appreciated the good moments and did have a great time.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The ocean and the beach are absolutely amazing — beautiful, clean, and very relaxing. It was the perfect place to enjoy the water and spend time as a family. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Everyone made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. A special thank you to Ninosca, who was very helpful and gave great recommendations for a fishing trip for my husband. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time here 🌊🦀🏝️

The employees are extremely warm and vibrant people. Luis was an amazing server every time we saw him in the buffet and elevated our experience by a lot. Rooms are OK nothing special. We had to get new room keys almost every day because they would stop working. The resort itself is beautiful and the amenities are awesome. Restaurant experiences were lacking in almost every aspect, the buffet ended up having the best meals and service. Overall we had an amazing experience because of the employees - Seferino and Clevier were attentive and amazing to work with!
