The staff was nice. However, the food was not good. The rooms need to be updated, the iron in the room was broken and the drinks offered were not up to my standards
Really good Spa please go for a massage, rooms very very clean and comfortable (great job housekeeping) entertainment team average, service in restaurant and buffet Server's are amazing they tried but just can keep up with the volume need a lot more people to help, having the F&B director cleaning tables NO a good look and the food it's ok if you're very hungry
Plenty chairs at the pool and beach and I loved the amount of towels!!!! Never ran out of clean towels
Traveled with friends and stayed 9 nights. The entire resort is beautiful, well maintained. Beach was cleaned every day. Staff was great. Food desired to be better and more tasty. French restaurant you have to visit. Overall we liked everything, will come back
Very spacious resort, lots of amenities. Room key cards regularly deactivated, which is one of the reasons for the low rating. Whe showering the washroom gets soaked. Room was clean and spacious. The beach was nice and always enough sun loungers. Buffets were nice with a lot of variety. À la cartes were, just book early as th fill up quickly.
Overall, great experience. My husband and I were celebrating our 30 yr anniversary. From arriving to the resort, the staff was amazing and very accommodating and made our stay special. The room was clean and nicely decorated. Restaurants had a nice variety of foods. The nightly entertainment at the resort was a plus. We look forward to coming back in the future.
Amazing all inclusive resort, second time staying in a different region and the service, staff all top service. I love it so much that I became a member of their club. I highly recommend it 😁
Wonderful place to stay! Would definitely go back. Beach was full of seaweed (that they worked on cleaning up daily) but still have 2 nice size pools with lots of activities for adults and kids thru out the day. The staff was AMAZING and friendly. Lots of options for food
food quality below average. misfunctioning coffee makes at restaurants.
golf course was good, but the way of treating golfers was very poor: no tees provided, food cart carries poor foods, old malfunctioning golf carts with no GPS - expensive green fees were not justified. hard to secure tee-time reservation. WON"T COME BACK. ADVISE FRIENDS OF MY EXPERIENCE.

This is my third visit to punta Cana and I don’t usually do reviews. my least favorite experience this far when we arrived the staff that checked us in told us it would be 40 minutes for our room to be ready me and my partner went and grabbed lunch and returned back to the front desk she had left and the person we spoke to told us another hour we asked for a room on the top floor and we get a room on the first floor upon arrival the room had an unpleasant odor and looked outdated so they brought us upstairs to the new room upon arrival the room floor was filled with water we tried to book the French restaurant and Mexican and it was booked throughout our stay the food was 6/10 and the bartenders next to the bar were rude the only positive feedback that I have is the beach was beautiful and the cleaners did a great job keeping the room clean and the servers at the restaurants and buffet would not recommend go where your money is valued
I had a fantastic experience staying at Iberostar Waves Dominicana. it was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The bed was super comfy. The location was perfect. We add access to the beach. The restaurants/buffet was delicious. A lot of options. Excellent customer service. The staff were very responsive, friendly, and helpful with local tips and recommendations. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. I felt very safe and welcoming. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting DR and I hope to stay here again on my next trip!
Entering into the property is very secure. The areas leading up to the properties were well manicured. The plam trees were beautiful. Hotel was in great condition entering common areas. The staff was courteous. Enjoyed the casino. The drinks were good. Frozen drinks were refreshing. Tequila was decent and rum. Strong offerings avaliable, like Patron, Jose Ce,
Me and my family stayed here for 4 days. The staff was excellent and we had a great time. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. I cannot wait to return! Thank you for an awesome experience.
