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.

Overall, I had a mix of experiences during my stay at the resort. While the wildlife and beach access for snorkeling were highlights, the dining options were hit or miss, and the room experience was less than ideal. The service was friendly, but the delays in room readiness and some confusion with amenities dampened the experience a bit.

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.
