Very disappointing experience with Iberostar.
Pros:

Our stay was marked by significant reductions in services that were advertised as part of the hotel’s family offering. From early November, children’s entertainment, activities, lunch service and pool facilities were either scaled back or not operating in the way promoted at the time of booking. None of this was clearly communicated in advance, meaning we were unable to make an informed decision before travelling.

What has been most frustrating, however, is Iberostar’s response to the complaint, which has now dragged out for over 3 months. Rather than acknowledging that services were materially reduced, their correspondence attempts to reframe the situation as “seasonal adjustments” and suggests this is acceptable based on general wording. That does not reflect the reality of what we experienced.

Service levels during the stay were also poor. Staff were consistently inattentive; we regularly had to chase to place food and drink orders, have tables cleared, or receive basic service, even when the hotel was visibly quiet. Dining was particularly frustrating, with repeated discussions required simply to secure suitable meals for our child (as their reduced menu didn’t cater for children). This is not the level of service expected from a hotel positioned as a premium family resort.

Overall, the experience and the defensive handling of the complaint has left us with no confidence in the brand. We would not return.

Pros:

The hotel is very well decorated and maintained and looks super clean. It has a great view. Facilities are great. And the staff welcoming.

Cons:

The food was average at best. Looking at the other reviews, we were surprised with our experience. It could be because it was the end of the season, but the dinner for almost 50eur pp was overpriced for the offering, considering not even water was included for drinks (the grill was ok, but having mash potatoes from powder was disappointing). Breakfast was ok, but I was expecting a better selection. The fresh orange juice was not fresh (it was from concentrate), so these things combined with the high price left us disappointed.
