    Scuba fun and sun

    I came here for the second time with my scuba diving group. Right on the ocean. Everything is kept very clean. Such a beautiful resort, delicious food and friendly workers. Rufino at guest services is so very kind and helpful! I won’t hesitate to book here again.

    Another Pleasant Stay

    This was our second stay at Iberostar Waves Cozumel and it was just as good as the first time! All staff was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. From Juan Carlos and Maria at the Concierge desk, Elihut, Max, Lindsey, and Fabian with entertainment, our lovely maid for room 8504 who kept our room beautifully clean and stocked, and the entire wait-staff and cooks in the buffet, and bartenders, everyone was very enjoyable. I really like the fact that Iberostar concentrates on maintaining Green practices especially the refillable glass water containers and the amount of purified water machines located around the property. We also liked the Iberostar app for quickly locating any information we needed about restaurants and entertainment at this large resort. Wifi and the app worked very well in all areas of the resort. We also like that Dressel Dive company is located right on the resort for any type of water activity. We will definitely be returning!

    Relaxing visit at the ocean

    Maximilian and Angeles are amazing hosts at the pool! We love the activities they provide and enjoy their witty comments. We also like the ocean view and the pool, along with the beach bar, snack bar, and full buffet/all close to the pool, beach, and the dock.
