The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

I was impressed by the variety and quality of food available at the resort. The buffet had themed nights that kept things interesting, and I particularly enjoyed the delicious offerings during New Year's Eve. The desserts were beautifully presented, showcasing the talent of the pastry chefs. I found the Mexican buffet to be far superior to the Tex-Mex restaurant we tried. Overall, there was always something tasty to enjoy!

Fantastic Kids' Club

My granddaughters loved their time at the Kids' Club! The entertainment provided by Erika, Elisa, and Ismael was excellent, and their face-painting skills were a huge hit! The activities kept the kids engaged, and I really appreciated the attention the Star Friends gave to make it a nice experience. The playground adjacent to the Star Camp was an additional bonus that allowed for even more fun.

The treatment left us feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I recommend taking the time to indulge in a spa day during your stay at Iberostar Cozumel; it's definitely worth it!

Engaging Entertainment Options

I enjoyed the variety of entertainment activities available at the resort in the evenings. From trivia to karaoke nights, there was always something fun to participate in or enjoy. The fire show on the beach was a highlight, providing a unique experience unlike any I've had at other resorts. It's great to let loose and enjoy the performances with fellow guests.

7.6/10

I had a wonderful time at this resort! The grounds are beautifully maintained, and I loved the unique rainforest vibe with all the exotic wildlife. The activities are plenty, making it a great place for families. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with some dishes being just average, and the air conditioning in the dining areas could really use an upgrade.

The location is fantastic for nature lovers, with lush grounds featuring a variety of trees and animals like iguanas and peacocks wandering around. The beach has some rocky areas, so water shoes are recommended, but it offers good snorkeling from the pier.

While the buffet had decent options, the food was generally standard and not overly impressive. Some items were enjoyable, like the local cheeses and coconut ice cream, but the overall dining experience could use some variety and flair.

Iberostar Cozumel offers a charming experience with well-maintained grounds and great service. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the food typically satisfies, although I found the dining options to be a bit variable. The rooms can be hit-or-miss regarding amenities, and a few more chairs on the balconies would be a nice touch. Overall, it represents good value for money, especially considering their eco-friendly initiatives.
