Iberostar Waves Ciudad Blanca

Emma

We returned to this hotel August 24 after a lovely holiday here last year. The location is outstanding - right on the beach with lots of restaurants/shops in the area and an easy bus ride to the old town (or 30 min walk). Lovely walk along the beach into the main town for even more great restaurants/shops/markets/marina. This year we went half board and were able to swap dinner for lunch when we wanted to eat out locally at night. The restaurant was fantastic - food amazing and the staff were incredible - so friendly and helpful. There is entertainment every days and night and several different pools to choose from. The rooms are tired but perfectly functional for what we needed. Caters really well for little ones - best I have seen. We cannot fault this hotel! Thank you Ciudad blanca for another amazing holiday.

First, the good bits. The food here was fantastic, both the availability and the buffet in particular. We had a view room on the 6th floor that was good for both the scenery and for the shows. On the downside, the beds in bedding were quite uncomfortable. Beds were very hard, and their solution to a double bed was to push two single beds together with no mattress topper. Rooms were a bit dated but very clean and everything worked fine.

The main advantage of this hotel, which outweighs all others, is the staff. From the reception desk to the friendliness of the bartender, cleaner, and waiter - everyone strives to make your stay comfortable. Yes, perhaps the rooms are not as fresh as some might like - nonetheless, they are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The cuisine was a bit more varied when we arrived compared to when we left, as the hotel reached full capacity quickly at the beginning of July. The beach access is magnificent. The pools and the entertainment by the animators are also great. We enjoyed our stay very much, and thank you for extending our room for a late check-out, no matter how difficult it was. P.S. The only thing we would like to suggest is the introduction of rules for tourists, particularly from Germany, who reserve all the sunbeds with their towels from the night before. These towels then "sunbathe" there all day, preventing others from using the sunbeds. This is very frustrating, but it's not the hotel's fault.

This was our second time to visit the hotel after 12 years. And there is so much to like about it: + The crystal clear water, + perfect fine sand, + excellent beach location and + amazing entertainment for guests of all ages. + The pools were great, + the room was clean and + the food was amazing. There were also some things that we think can be improved: - Our bathroom had no ventilation and from all the showers we could not clean the room from the humidity - The windows/doors still do not have mosquito nets. There was not that much mosquitoes, but it would be a welcome improvement. - Finally our bed was quit loud, would squeaky on every movement. But overall the vacation was great and we would love to come again.

In my opinion this is a quite good hotel but probably deserves more like 3 stars, focused on families and child-friendly (we visited with our daughter and most of the hotel guests also had children). Unfortunately, the rooms and decor are outdated and in high need of renovation. We had to change rooms due to an unpleasant smell and sore throats after the first night. The room also lacks a power sockets (one in the bedroom and one in the living room wasn't enough). The food is plentiful but of average quality, for example, the meat and seafood typical of all-inclusive resorts are more like fillers. We usually like seafood, but we weren't able to enjoy what the hotel offered. After a few days we decided to dine outside the hotel and we are glad we did it. In terms of children's activities it's a very big plus for this place, the location is also very good. We cannot complain about the staff either, they do their job well. However, I think that in this price range we could expect something a bit better, especially since the Iberostar hotel chain has a good reputation and we know their other hotels which are better.
