    We have stayed at several all-inclusive resorts and this was one of our favorites! Loved the 3-story buildings vs. those requiring an elevator. Grounds were beautiful. Loved animals walking around the resort. Endless beach. Wonderful staff. Golf course within walking distance. Plenty of great seats by the pool vs. hoping you can get one. Many many positives! The only negatives were the limitation on dining reservations and the tour office at the hotel misled us and would not answer our phone calls. Don't use them. They have Expedia/Hotwire on their shirts, but local touring office with very bad service. Cost us an extra $30 to get home from excursion. Resort tried to help us. Not Iberostar's fault. Ending on a positive - Aldo (Star Player) was super positive and upbeat during the time that people were down over COVID-19 and leaving early to go home. He tried his best to keep everyone in good spirits while still at the resort.…
