We made our reservations through Expedia and paid in advance. When we got to the Iberostar Waves Tucan, they said we were in the worst location in the resort, but could “upgrade” to a better location (just happens to be the location we’ve been at in three previous stays at Iberostars in Mexico, including this one). We believe we were charged $240 more for the same two rooms we had already paid for. We are supposed to believe that they just happened to have two rooms next to each other for the entire week of U.S. Thanksgiving when the resort was very, very full. Looks very dishonest to us. We won’t stay there again. It's a nice property, but we can't take dishonesty. Too many other options.

This hotel was nice. The staff was very helpful. However, the rooms are very outdated. Bed is very uncomfortable everything looks old .. concrete stucco walls. I have stayed at other Iberostar’s in the Cancun area and this one was my least favorite. Try Grand Pariso .

Beautiful resort is well maintained by friendly and helpful staff. Food options are very broad and food is mostly quite good. Beds are full size and quite firm. I understand there will be some renovation soon and hope the beds will be upsized to queen. Wonderful beach and pool areas. Nice global assortment of guests. Plenty of day and evening activities.

This resort is absolutely fantastic! From day one the service, the property, food options was phenomenal. The pools, beach and pathways that lead you through the jungle, were mastered perfectly. Thank you Juan from the Cozumel Breakfast staff for being amazing! He made our mornings so much better with his kindness and hospitality. The rooms are exactly how they should look, with the traditional Mexican vibe. Overall I give this resort a 10! We are planning our next visit and we just got back!!

Beware
The older gentleman at check in wouldn’t give us our rooms together or on first floor. I had booked 2 rooms, one for my husband and me and one for my daughter, son in law and their baby. We needed to be together to help with the baby. They put us on different floors. Also we needed ground level, we’re 67 and don’t do stairs well. They couldn’t accommodate. He wasn’t very helpful at all. If you book thru a 3rd party (like Hotels.com) you are treated like a second class citizen. You are only allowed certain rooms which face the street or are right off the lobby with lots of noise. Just doesn’t seem right.

The staff overall were friendly, helpful, and hardworking. Other than one occasion where the person checking us in re-checked off soliciation emails upon sign in after i had un-checked those boxes so I wouldn't get unwanted emails - all staff were A . They solicite you to take a "presentation" when you arrive. They say they will compensate you for this with a free massage or $70 USD. The massage is 40 minutes and a standard massage, my wife got this and said it was good. The $70 USD was not cash but "Iberostar dollars" and the equivalent of $70 USD and could be used at check out for incidentals or at one of the gift shops by the pool. There are two other gift shops on site but not sure if they accepted this cash equivalent. The resort itself was nice, though the buildings near the lobby where the rooms were felt older and in need of an update. We also had two cockroaches in our room over the course of our 6 day stay. I think given the location there are simply going to be bugs and this didn't affect my enjoyment but my wife was not happy about it. This is a family resort, but the rooms had lots of opportunities for a toddler to cause trouble or hurt themselves. From the tile and stucko bed board and floors to the mini fridge cabinets that are not lockable or child proof, I found the room overall to not be toddler friendly but maybe kid friendly. There was more than one pool, an adult pool, a kids area, and a beach. Finding seating after 9 am would be a bit of a challenge.

Amazing beachfront with excellent staff and wonderful variety of food and drinks! The buffet restaurants were excellent. We tried all standalone restaurants and we liked the Mediterranean, Italian, and Japanese restaurants. The mini jungle was a pleasant surprise with many different animals wandering the forest. Excellent entertainment crews! Will be back again very soon.
