  Watered down drinks.

  If you expect to sit on the beach and sip adult alcoholic beverages, forgot it. Weakest, most watered down drinks i have ever had. They give you these large glasses, as if it’s a treat. For the prices they charge to stay there, it a shame you can’t get a decent drink. My last stay at Iberostar Cancun.

  Great adults only all inclusive

  We loved almost everything about this hotel. The staff, Food, and Beach were great. The buffet for lunch and dinner had everything that you would want and even ice cream for dessert. The white shark pool bar had guacamole and several types of sandwiches and the bar at the pool and beach had every type of drink you’d like. The staff at the Pool and Beach were amazing and always had a smile and were always polite. Several different sit down restaurants were all great. Our big negative was the Shows on the patio / beach at the coral were extremely loud until 930p.m. a couple nights. It made no sense to us because the main resort, connected, had a theater and a show every night that was far away from the rooms. We felt bad for the staff doing the show because there were only about 20 or 30 people there and people complained during breakfast every morning on how loud it was. We had earplugs and a sound machine, and h heard it loud and clear. Also, it was still shaking the TV in our room. Besides that everything else was great.

  An Iberostar Experience in Mexico

  My stay here was great. The staff was excellent. From my arrival to coordinating activities to dinner arrangements, staff members were welcoming and kind. The grounds are beautiful, well kept. It's fairly easy to walk to different event locations to watch performances or participate in events. Fun and quiet vibe. Unfortunately during my stay the Mexican restaurant was closed for renovations. My air conditioner went out for a short time but the staff sent an hvac technician to fix it as quickly as possible. The events at the resort were nice and the food was similar to that of other resorts. The hibachi restaurant provided excellent entertainment and great food. This experience was my food highlight of the resort. My steakhouse experience was not great. My steak was overcooked and seasoned beyond consumption. The adult only side of the resort is very relaxing. I managed to catch a few performances at night with resort dancers that gave a good show. The room was well kept, nothing to write home about however the balcony view of the water was a great bonus. The room decor was bright and vibrant. The bar at the main check-in area of the resort, breathtakingly beautiful. I would go back.

  Honest Review – Iberostar Coral Cancun

  This was a last-minute change for us. We were originally meant to travel to Jamaica, but due to Hurricane Melissa and work commitments, we had to pivot quickly. We were there the last week of November and first week of December. After hours on hold with our vacation company (like many others), our first choice sold out and Iberostar Coral Cancun became our second option. We had never stayed in Cancun before (only further down the Mayan), and we were there for 14 days, so comfort really mattered. I like a chill, non-snotty 5-star experience: friendly staff, a comfortable room, great food, nice views, and flexibility—some nights dressed up, other nights relaxed. This resort absolutely delivered. Why the Coral side matters: We stayed on the Coral (adults-only) side and it was fantastic. Calm, attentive, and consistently friendly staff. We did visit the Selection side briefly and it felt busier and more family-oriented, with a noticeable difference in atmosphere. Coral was exactly what we wanted. Pools, beach & activities: Never had to save chairs Great pool entertainment (energetic, but easy to find quieter spots) Beach was lovely; just be mindful of undertow on rougher days Fantastic fitness offerings (spin & aqua aerobics daily) Special mentions: Carmen & Saby (pool servers): Truly exceptional—warm, attentive, and memorable (I miss them both) Beto (entertainment): High energy and genuinely fun; so happy every day! Hector (fitness): Encouraging, professional, and consistent; full of smiles! Food: My husband is a foodie and was impressed across the board. Buffets were excellent, especially having our own Coral buffet Steakhouse was the standout (and we’re from Alberta—high praise) Mediterranean and Italian were very good Japanese was underwhelming One important note: unless you’re an Iberostar member, you can’t reserve à la cartes (except Japanese). After 7 pm, waits can be long. For Coral guests paying more, allowing even limited weekly reservations would be a big improvement. That said, the front desk staff did their best to help us. Outstanding service highlights: Jazmin (Coral restaurant manager): Absolutely made our stay—arranged an anniversary cake and champagne, always warm and engaged Esmeralda (hostess): Remembered us quickly, brought mimosas, went above and beyond daily Amando (coffee bar): Best morning coffee and always cheerful Jose (front desk): Kind, helpful, and welcoming The one real downside: The rooms run very warm. We had the AC set to 19°C the entire stay. The hotel was apologetic and brought us a fan (which helped a lot), but fans are limited. After a recent renovation, ceiling fans would have been a smart addition. But, the rooms are absolutely stunning and huge! We did the corner with dual balcony, stunning views. Final thoughts: Despite the minor room issue, we felt safe, comfortable, cared for, and genuinely appreciated. The Coral staff — every single one (and I mean that) — went above and beyond, including management! We don’t visit Mexico as often anymore, but we would absolutely return to Iberostar Coral Cancun. This is an honest review, and I highly recommend it.
