The resort is surrounded by beautiful, lush gardens and offers a picturesque atmosphere. The rooms are clean and well-kept, although a bit small. The dining options could certainly use more variety, especially at breakfast, but the specialty restaurant was a highlight. The beach area and pools are lovely, though water shoes are recommended due to coral. Overall, it’s a good value for a tropical getaway, but there are some areas that need improvement.

This resort is a fantastic getaway with so much to offer, from unique wildlife to various activities. The staff is attentive and the food is delicious. However, the room options could use an update, and the dining facilities faced some issues post-pandemic. Overall, it’s a great place, particularly for divers!

The resort has its ups and downs, especially during busy periods, but overall it offers a decent stay. The diving experience was superb with professional instructors, and the marine life was breathtaking. However, don’t expect a luxurious experience; the dining options can be hit or miss, and the facilities need some improvement. It's an ideal spot for divers and underwater enthusiasts, but be wary of the service and food during peak times.

We had a fantastic stay at the Iberostar Cozumel, though there were a few ups and downs. The rooms were clean and recently renovated, making for a pleasant stay. However, the dining options were somewhat repetitive this year and could use a bit more variety. The beautiful grounds and great scuba diving opportunities really stood out, but some service aspects could be smoother. Overall, it was a memorable trip, but a few adjustments would make it even better.

I recently stayed at the hotel for a week, and it really stood out for its friendliness and beautiful surroundings. The rooms were clean, and the staff made us feel welcomed. The beach had some rocky areas, which was a letdown for me, but the pool facilities were amazing and well-kept. Dining options were decent, although I wished there were more variety. Overall, I believe the stay was worthwhile, but there are a few areas that could improve.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. On one hand, the staff was absolutely fantastic and genuinely tried to resolve the issues we faced with our room changes. The grounds were beautiful, teeming with exotic wildlife. Unfortunately, the room quality left much to be desired, with musty smells and water leaks that cut into our vacation time. Overall, it felt like there were too many maintenance issues that needed urgent attention.

This resort exceeded my expectations in every way! The staff treated us like family, and I was amazed by the incredible variety of food—even from the buffet. The activities offered for families were fantastic, and the setting is stunning with lots of wildlife around. The only downside was the rocky beach, which can be a bit tricky without proper footwear, but the snorkeling was great. Overall, it was worth every penny!

I had a wonderful two-week stay at this resort with lovely rooms, although they were quite basic. The beach setting was beautiful and perfect for relaxing after a day of diving. While the staff were mostly friendly and the dives were well-organized, some minor annoyances like key issues and food variety impacted my experience. Overall, it was great value for money considering the location and amenities.

Our stay was quite enjoyable, especially if you're someone who loves diving or prefers a smaller resort atmosphere. The staff really made our experience better with their attentive service, and the diving opportunities were fantastic. However, the rooms were a bit small for our family, and the dining options were hit-or-miss, with some delays during breakfast service that could be improved.

I had a great time at this resort! The grounds are lush and provide a serene jungle atmosphere, which was really refreshing. The entertainment was top-notch and truly memorable, but I found the dining options, especially the a la carte restaurants, to be underwhelming. Overall, the staff's attitude could use some improvement, and the rooms felt a bit damp at times, but the value for what you get is quite decent.
