Jul 13, 2025We Love Iberostar Wave Cozumel!
My husband and I traveled to Iberostar Wave Cozumel twice a year with our friends and their teenage/adult kids that have become family.. This place is beautiful from the grounds, rooms, ocean and pool. We have made many friends with the staff and they welcome us each time with open arms and a smile. From Isabel at the front desk making our checkout so easy and always so accommodating.. she is so kind and professional we love her! Alonso is also at the front and is always so helpful, kind and friendly. He’s always so willing to help with any questions or things we may need. The food is amazing and Fabian never disappoints, he is always present and making sure everyone’s needs are met. If you have any dietary needs he is right there making sure you get the things you need. He also is professional, but so friendly and truly cares. The Restaurant staff is the BEST around. They are all great, but the ones we have the most experience with are Cindy whom we’ve known for many years and she has become our family too! Wilbert and Jonatan always great us with a smile on their face and make you feel at home.. They have amazing memories for remembering what drinks to get us for breakfast, lunch and dinner too. Chef Jorge is also wonderful and willing to make sure you get everything you need. There entertainment staff makes this resort special too, from the games in the pool and all the special things they offer for you to do during the day. From guessing games, bingo, corn hole, ping pong, water aerobics and more. Omberto is one of the entertainment staff members and he always made sure to see that all the quests were enjoying themselves.. The Spa is wonderful and I would highly recommend to anyone… Sondra and Bertha are the Best! The experience is so relaxing. This place has truly become our home away from home…

An Amazing holiday
An amazing holiday in such a lovely hotel. You can see why this hotel is 5 stars. Everything from the accommodation, food and things to do was great. We especially loved the Asian cuisine a la carte restaurant. Theres an abundance of wildlife on your doorstep and flamingos by reception to pass each morning on the way to breakfast. Unlike other hotels there was plenty of sunbeds by the pool/beach and we made use of the swim up pool bar for cocktails. There is a diving place on site called Dressel Dives and we highly recommend using their services, we did a discovery dive and loved it. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone. This was our first time in Cozumel and the long journey was worth it.

Great Friendly Staff, Management makes it perfect
5 of 5! My heartfelt thanks to the entire staff. Every member was was friendly, attentive, and professional. However, one member, Yoania from Cuba, went above and beyond in making sure in making sure that everything was perfect. She made the difference. Such a warm caring person, she made us feel like immediate friends. And she also helped me with my Spanish because “ No se nada! “

Great experience at Iberostar Waves
I stayed at Iberostar Waves in Cozumel for a week and had a amazing time. The food was great with lots of good options and no need to book reservations for the restaurants, which made things so much easier. The staff was amazing the whole trip. I especially want to mention Ana, one of the bartenders/servers. She was incredibly friendly and made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything about the resort felt relaxed and easy. Would definitely come back.
