Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada

rose h (Regina, Canada) on Apr 27, 2025

My husband and I travelled in March 2025; we booked the Superior Ocean View. We had a comfortable king size bed and a rain shower. Always hot water. Room was immaculate and clean. Food surpassed to our ...delight. Theme nights, abundant dishes like rib eye steak and grilled pork chops twice a day, suckling pig, turkey, salmon and other fish daily, lamb, roast beef, duck, pasta cooked at a station, two egg stations for breakfast. Fresh squeezed orange juice, beet, carrot and green juice plus pears, peaches, plums and cut up tropical fruit. Trays of food always full and fresh and included sushi, squid, calamari, octopus. I liked the dispensers filled with ice water and cucumbers or watermelon. The buffet was inviting with the thatched roof and open air concept. The entire resort had a thatched roof. We especially liked the Italian a la carte and our concierge Stephanie took care of booking in our restaurants. Mexican was very nice and Japanese was a lot of fun and a good display of cooking. They cooked on the beach daily, lobster, ribs and steak, rice dishes. The desserts were inviting and delicious prepared by expert chefs. The beach was clean, many lounge chairs and had many, many chairs and tables in the shade for eating the noon meal. Palapas are plenty. The pool was our haven for two weeks, and be prepared to get up early to get a spot you like. Towels are plenty. There are no towel cards and none to hand in at the end of the holiday. My husband had his favorite kitten; we had brought Temptations to feed our cat we named Chip. They will also eat ham in abundance. This was a very relaxed holiday and will go back again. My family said it sounded more wonderful than the vacations that they have been on. The waiters were fast in clearing a table and sanitizing. They always changed the tablecloths at Gala Night. If you want exceptional quality food, the Iberostar Waves is the place to go. Rose and Kelly H.

Very Average

Quick and to the point. This is a very dated resort not worthy of a 4.5 star rating. Our first room was in building 3 and very dated. Looked behind the headboard for an outlet and it was just a mound of du...st. I requested a move to a renovated room and got one the next day in building 7. Much better renovated bathroom but the rest was still dated. Broken curtain rod, balcony door lock damaged so door wouldn’t close properly. They came and kind of fixed it but still wonky. The power went out 4 times while using the hairdryer. We were told to use it only in the bathroom but it still knocked the power out. Each time they came and reset the power. The grounds are very nice and well maintained. No wait service around the pool but 1 swim up bar and 2 others right there. The pool is large but was constantly dirty. A lot of bugs, leaves and bird poop always floating. Staff were friendly and helpful. Spa service was very good. Concierge guys are on you hard from the get go to go to the Loyalty program presentation. Once you have either done it or said no they aren’t too attentive anymore. Food was average at best. 3 a la carte restaurants. Buffet again was ok. Omelette station for breakfast was good. Pedro was awesome at the omelette station. One tv in the lobby bar and that’s it for the resort so if your a sports fan no sports bar. Many guests complained of getting very sick and then the last night it happened to me. I’m guessing it was food poisoning from 8pm buffet dinner as by 2 am I was vomiting hard! Made for a horrible flight home next day. Beach was nice and had a bar and they also did a big daily lunch on the beach which was decent. You will not go hungry at this resort but you will not be wowed. Price was decent but again this place needs a major Reno. Use caution.
