Iberostar Waves Cozumel - All Inclusive

Room clean, beds are hard.

Amazing people took care of me like I was there brother …. 10 out of 10

.

We absolutely love this resort. We normally stay at Secrets, but we noticed it didn’t have a nice beach location. If you want something unique and different, this is the place. It’s a beautiful resort with a perfect beach, the food, service and shows were all great. One of my favorite parts was the bungalow‑style rooms, they really give you that tropical feeling and make you feel more connected with nature. It’s not a super huge resort, but it has everything you need to relax and have an amazing time. The employees truly take care of your needs and they genuinely care for the environment. I can’t wait to come back with my family!!

Great experience! Staff were very friendly and the beach was great.

Everyone here was super friendly and helpful. Our stay was great ! Also enjoyed all the food choices .

We stayed for 14 night in May 2026 and had a wonderful time. The buffet and specialty restaurants were very good with great choices for all meals. Beach and pool areas were great with plenty of shaded loungers available and drink service by wait staff and bartenders. The beach was kind of dirty at times with cans and cups not picked up properly, otherwise the grounds and pool were well maintained. We enjoyed seeing the many animals every day. The shows each night were OK. We really enjoyed spending time in the lobby evenings after dinner listening to music by local artists. The lobby drink service was excellent with friendly staff. Our room was very comfortable and cleaned promptly every day. We liked the app notifications when our room was clean each day. All in all a very pleasant stay. We could tell the staff and managers go out of their way to create a relaxed and enjoyable experience. We are coming back to stay another 7 days in July 2026.

Clean room/excellent staff/ very nice property

We absolutely love this resort. Everyone is super friendly. We have stayed here b fore and will again. We love the location. Very clean with great service.

This was a second stay for us at the Iberostar Cozumel. This time was a mother/daughter trip, although each of us had been here on previous separate trips. We've been to Mexico countless times and stayed at many all-inclusive resort. The rooms here are clean and the beds are comfortable-I was actually ill the first time we stayed a few years ago and was so grateful for the bed. The rooms in general are spare with just a very small table and 1 small chair plus a TV on a dresser. The bathroom was well-equipped with a nice shower and good towels. There's a nice deck in front with chairs. The food at the buffet was good, not great but good variety. The Mexican restaurant was good, but the smokehouse/BBQ food was very disappointing. The snack bar at the beach was a mix. Average food, but good for a late afternoon snack. It was kind of disgusting to see a small flock of little birds eating from the ice-cream dispenser, literally sticking their beaks into it (Avian flu? Germs?) Perhaps a netting could keep them away. The pool and beach areas were both mostly clean, and my one big complaint from both visits is the lounge chairs are never washed. Many of them are covered in tons of bird droppings and unusable. I don't know why they can't be hosed off every morning as I've seen done on other resorts. We didn't view any of the shows, so no comment on that. The people who work here are super nice, helpful and friendly. Erica from the restaurant visited with us twice.

Very nice clean rooms with a well stocked mini fridge. I have the most helpful staff of any place I’ve ever stayed. Very nice food. Good diving but very crowded. Love this place.!

Room was nice, but not wonderful. Main restaurant doesn’t have AC (Eating in sweltering temperatures is rough). Food is good though. No robes/slippers (Other resorts on the island have them in all their rooms). Flooring in the rooms is ice-cold so slippers would be nice. Staff is friendly but not Super Friendly. Entertainment was outstanding. Wildlife everywhere, which is wonderful. Glass water bottles that they make you use are outrageously heavy. The floor is beautiful and the water is warm. The bartenders at the pool are not very happy. Their drinks are ok. Water aerobics is fun. The resort grounds are beautiful. The bathroom floors at the pool are slipperier than an ice-skating rink.

Beautiful and relaxing resort that is easy to navigate. Staff was awesome. Any problem we had was fixed quickly. The food was delicious.

Staff was very nice but the room need a maintenance.

Check in was very bad. Reserved a specific room which was not ready until after 4pm. Check in manager was very rude and raised her voice to me. My husband spoke to the hotel manager about it. We have stayed there 3 times so far for scuba diving but I will not be back.

Our first trip and it was amazing, the staff was excellent, room was clean and cool, we were very well taken care of

This place was awesome! I was mainly here for diving and Dressel divers out of Iberostar made the trip for me. The only negative thing I have to say is I’m an exterminator and I noticed the beds had old evidence of bedbugs, would be nice if they replaced the mattresses for how much we paid. Most people wouldn’t see this. I also saw what looked like a German cockroach in the Mexican restaurant dining room on property at Iberostar. Another thing to note is one of the restaurant’s was completely closed down for renovations which was kinda annoying. The buffet food was mid. Even with those things I give this place 5 stars. My wife and I had a wonderful time. The property is absolutely gorgeous. Diving operation right out of the resort. Flamingos, iguanas, Coatis, Turtles, and more wildlife hanging out around the resort. Beach was a little rocky but still beautiful and free of sargassum. Amazing palms. Good drinks. All in all it was a very good time and I would definitely return. Triple check your rooms and make time to go into town to eat out you will have an amazing time.

Very nice selection each morning

This property is gorgeous - there are smaller "bungalows" with four rooms downstairs and four above. The bungalows are scattered between the lobby/main dining area and the pool/beach area. They are set in a beautiful tropical jungle setting kept "natural" and yet manicured to be perfectly landscaped. There is a lot of wildlife! The dedicated dive center offers dive trips multiple times a day with several boats each time so this is a very popular place for divers. They also do a terrific snorkel trip. The beach/ocean area is beautiful Caribbean Sea - rocky along the shore, but the pier has steps down into the ocean where you can get in more easily. There are a TON of fish right under the pier - so a short snorkel is perfect there. There is a lot of boat traffic near the pier so you can not swim outside the buoys snorkel a great distance out. You can walk down the beach a way to find more snorkeling. We found the room to be very comfortable with strong A/C, plenty of space to put your belongings, a nice sized bathroom with walk in shower, and a mini fridge that they will restock for you. The all inclusive makes eating easy and there are several restaurants to choose from. There are many activities to choose from or you can just relax. There are not a lot of "beach front" rooms. Our room was one of the furthest back but it was quiet and relaxing away from the pool and beach, close to the gym and restaurants. Easy to walk to the beach. We look forward to going back!

The friendliness, attentiveness and overall good vibes from the staff were likely the highlight of the trip. Breakfast buffet was great, lunch options by the pool were outstanding, especially Maria’s tacos and quesadillas, those were probably the best food we had during our stay! Unfortunately, dinner was not great and there’s room for improvement there in terms of quality and variety.
