Why is it that everyone says "yeah the food isn't good, It's Cuba, what did you expect?". Well it's an Iberostar and they put their name on it .. so I did expect better than what I got. I did not go expecting the Iberostar Grand in Punta Cana, but I did expect edible. I do understand that reviews are... More

We are a group of 4 just returning from the Laguna Azul and we were very pleased with this hotel. We were 2 in our 30's and our moms in their 60's and everybody had a great time!! Hotel is really nice. People very friendly and about the food, which seems to be the main concern... nothing to worry about!!... More

My husband and I went here from Jan 29 - Feb 4, 2012. It was my first trip to Cuba, his second. The staff was amazing, super polite. The food was much better than I was anticipating. We ate at three a la cartes, the Romantique, the cuban, and the italian. The italian had the best food, I tried the... More

We stayed here for 10 days in the middle of May. We were 6 people in total. 4 adults and 2 kids. I was very nervous before our vacation because of all the negative reviews. I should have known better then to stress over them. I had called the resort before we left and asked to be given 2 adjointing... More

We have just returned from a our third trip to Cuba - this time staying at the Laguna Azul; before going I read the reviews and was quite worried by the number stating that the hotel was damp, had no towels and rude staff. However to our joy we found this not to be the case - on many levels.... More

I just got back from the Iberostar Laguna Azul with friends two days ago and I still have diarrhea. We had a good time, rooms were nice, beach was nice, excursions were fun, HOWEVER: as long as we stayed away from the buffets. . . be very careful, there is no food safety anywhere!! We lined up at the grill... More

We had an amazing wedding at Iberostar Languna Azul. We got married on May 4,2012. The wedding was beautiful just what my Husband and I dreamed of. There were a few mix ups for the wedding but it all worked out good. Make sure that you ask if the music from the pool area can be lowered during your wedding... More

Large resort with many pools and large beach where you can take nice, long walks. Food at the buffet is okay (it's Cuba...) with lots of choices. À la carte restaurants are tough to book if you're staying for less than a week. Good resort for children. Excellent service. Ask for higher quality alcohol for your drinks or else they'll... More
