I had a fantastic stay at Iberostar Quetzal, blending relaxation with wildlife excitement. The beach was beautiful, and the staff, especially Diana at the palapas, made my experience so much better. I did notice some issues with loungers being claimed for too long, but overall, the vibe was calm and family-friendly.

My room near the ocean was spacious and kept clean, though I found the lack of outlets near the bed a bit inconvenient. But hey, it helped me disconnect before sleeping, so no biggie.

The location in Playacar is perfect! It's nestled in a lush, jungle-like setting, giving you the chance to see all sorts of animals. The gated community made me feel secure, and I loved walking along the beach.

Food was solid, with good buffets and a couple of tasty specialty restaurants. The variety kept things interesting, though I wished for a bit more change in the beachside buffet menu.

The facilities were great; I enjoyed the spacious pool and the beautiful beach even though I had to get out early to claim loungers. The jungle gardens added a fun twist as I spotted so much wildlife.

Iberostar Waves Quetzal is a beautiful resort with stunning gardens and an amazing beach, but there are some drawbacks like room air conditioning issues and the need for restaurant reservations. The atmosphere is perfectly jungle-themed, giving it an authentic vibe with plenty of wildlife to watch. Overall, I had a fantastic time thanks to the friendly staff who always went above and beyond, but I faced some struggles with the dining experience and room comfort.

Rooms

My room was clean, and the bed was comfy, but the AC wasn’t working well, keeping things too warm. The room felt a bit dated, and the view was limited since the balcony overlooked other rooms.

The service was excellent and the staff were super friendly. I was greeted with smiles and felt taken care of throughout my stay. They even made sure to engage with us, which made a big difference.

The resort is nestled in a gorgeous jungle setting, which I absolutely loved! It was great being able to spot monkeys and other wildlife, but walking around at night was challenging due to limited lighting on paths.
Dining

Dining options were varied with nice buffets and a-la-carte restaurants, but getting reservations was a bit tough. Breakfast was consistently cold, which was disappointing. The variety was good overall, though.

The pools were lovely and well-kept, but finding a pool chair was a challenge due to early reservations by guests. Entertainment was hit or miss, but I enjoyed the activities offered.

I had a great time at Iberostar Waves Quetzal. The beach and pool were beautiful, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. While the food at the buffet was varied and tasty, I found some of the dining options to be hit or miss. Overall, it was a relaxing experience surrounded by nature, but there’s room for improvement in the entertainment and some dining aspects.

The buffet offered a good variety of food, though some meals were just warm rather than hot. The Japanese and Mediterranean restaurants were highlights, but other dining experiences could use some improvement.

Facilities were fantastic with plenty of activities. The pool area was spacious, and the beach was well-maintained. The gym was decent, though I only discovered it later in my stay.
