Wonderful Services
Ed Trainer from the FF (fitness) was so knowledgeable & helpful! Booked two lessons and would recommend to anyone looking for a private training session. Walter, the tennis pro got to every ball and was one of best tennis lessons I’ve had while traveling, The ladies at the Spa were amazing too. Elsa, Zaharia (Swedish, Therapeutic), and Wendy (aromatherapy scrub and massage) did an amazing job.

Fun Times!
We had a wonderful experience here at Iberostar Waves Punta Cana. There were some minor issues that can be overlooked but overall what makes this resort special is the wonderful staff. The cleaning ladies did a wonderful job cleaning our room every day. The buffet staff are a pleasure to be around. The air conditioning was nice and cold just how I like it after being in the hot sun all day. A special thank you to Genesis and Felix at the Star Prestige bar by the beach. We had a great time with them and created lots of fun memories. Of course they provided excellent service as well. Ask them about Mini beer!

Enjoyed our stay
Just back . Nov 18 to 25. We stayed on the punta cana side. Here are our observations. For the age, the resort is in great condition with mature vegetation. Liked the layout. Easy to get around. Our room was renovated, basic but clean. It was a king room 5155 close to pool and beach. We could also see the ocean from our balcony. The room was close to elevator and stairs to ground level. Plenty of hot water and pressure. The king bed was comfy with proper pillows for the bed size. Medium firm mattress. Air con worked well. As for room security you have a latch on the door and also a deadbolt on the lockset. Found a few English channels. The punta cana pool area was quieter unless full of kids. Was in pool everyday and could not find missing or broken tiles. It was always crystal clear. Next to pool is a small bar and snack area with many varieties of ice-cream. Unfortunately the burgers are prepared in advance so many sit for hours. Hence cold and dry. Same for chicken burger. The hotdogs were kept in a warmer. Other options were simple sandwiches, pizza,nachos Fries, some fruit and a few squares. Seating was available in tables on the sand. The lunch restaurant on the Dominican side was under cover and had a much larger selection. The main buffet for breakfast and supper was varied with plenty of choice and yummy desserts. With any buffet most food is prepared ahead of time and end up cold and meats are dry. Credit goes to the hard working kitchen staff who do an amazing job of food presentation. We did not get sick the whole time. Beach. As we remembered. Beautiful sand and palm tree lined. Ocean had lots of waves this time of year. Weather had clouds and sun. Only one full day of showers. No bugs For a value resort it gave us our monies worth. If we paid 500 more then we'd be disappointed Nov and early Dec are the best pricing. we had no surprises or hiccups in our vacation. We travel a lot to the Caribbean and this value resort Had everything we needed. Also late checkout was 15 per hr which was handy since we had a later flight.

Worst place in the Dominican Republic
What to say??? Clogged shower, dirty rooms, unfriendly staff, and many other unpleasant situations set up a series of unfortunate events leading our vacation to go be one of the worse we have had in the Caribbean. Are we ever going to choose Iberostar again? NEVER!! A resort that tells its guests that they are not welcomed in many of its facilities is despicable. This is the e easiest way to send your guests to the competition. Don’t stay here. You will be disappointed every single day.

Bad
The food is sub par at best and the quality of the place is not good at all. I will say the beach is stunning but other than the location the workers and quality of service is awful. I was sleeping in my room and a RANDOM COUPLE HAD A KEY TO OPEN THE DOOR AND WALKED IN! I mean just ridiculous and not to mention the fact that if you don’t speak Spanish you are treated like an outcast and everybody is a total douche to you.
