Wonderful people, food, activities ................had an awesome time. The staff are wonderful and really go that extra mile to make you feel welcomed. Will return to Iberostar very soon. Make sure you get to the spa and treat yourself.........massages with Naomi and facial/body scrub with Jenny. Excellent bartenders......waiters and hostesses were very friendly and professional. Gentlemen, make sure you take a pair of slacks in order to dine in the Mexican restaurant. I hightly recommend attending the shows each night.....the staff really try hard to get everyone to participate. Leo, Ismael, Fernando, Christian, Alex, Fernando and others made participating in activites fun. Met wonderful people from England, Missouri and other parts of Texas. Great place for families, honeymooners, celebrations and family reunions. Please feel free to contact me for more questions and/or additional comments.

We just returned from the Iberostar Cozumel. We stayed from June 2-9 and as it says in the title, it was Heaven. Basically nothing could have been better, especially considering there was just a hurricane a few months ago. I think if anything, the Hurricane just gave them an oppurtunity to improve. I've looked at pictures from a few years ago, and everything back then was very different and not nearly as nice and breathtaking as it is now including the restaurant, lobby, and flamingo pond.
FOOD- 9/10: The selection at all meals was always wonderful. The food was displayed beautifully and it tasted just as good as it looked. I'd recommend the pasta, fish, chicken, and breads. All the desserts were amazing as well. The only thing that could have been improved was the beef at the main restaurant. It was often undercooked and almost raw. Some of our favorite waiters were Enrique and Eduardo who were both very funny and very attentive to our needs. Maria, who works in the main restaurant kitchen, was very nice as well. She always had a smile on her face and always asked us how we were and how our stay was going.
ROOMS-9/10- People who say that the rooms are too small don't know what they're talking about. The rooms were plently big and had many features including satellite TV, a minibar, and a safe. My only complaints were that the beds were a little too firm for my liking, and the room was a little musty if the air conditioner hadn't been going for a while, but the bathroom was great and the maids were wonderful and restocked our minibar every day.
POOL-10/10: There are two large pools which are seperated by the bar and they both were just great. They were very large, and being a competitive swimmer, I enjoyed that. There was plenty of room to practice my technique and do laps. The bar at the pool and all the other bars, for that matter, were great, as well. Some of my favorites are the margaritas, coco locos, and pina coladas.
BEACH AND OCEAN-10/10: I guess it depends on what you like, but I think the beach was perfect. It was very large and you can walk along it easily without water shoes. However, it does get rocky as soon as you enter the ocean. I liked that, however. Some of the best snorkeling was in the very shallow water. There are sea urchins, hermit crabs, and unique anemones. Under the dock is probably the best place to find fish. There are hundreds under there and many different kinds as well. Feeding them is probably the funnest part. Just get some bread, and they'll basically jump out of the water for it. While snorkeling, I saw many things including eels, barracudas, rock fish, anemones, sea urchins, crabs, lobsters, string rays, and many types of corral.
THE RESORT GROUNDS-10/10- The grounds were just breathtaking. Palm trees and tropical plants are everywhere and lend even more to the feeling that you're in paradise. The flamingos and iguanas are great as well. Expect to find iguanas and small lizards all around but they won't bother you. Look for the macaw right outside the lobby, too. He attempts to say Hola and other words. Also watch for him at about 8:45 in the morning walking to his perch from his cage on the other side of the resort. Look for the two green parrots in the cage behind the snack bar, too. They are very nice and talkative.
LOBBY AND GIFT SHOP- 10/10:The lobby was great. It's open on basically all sides to the outside, and that was really cool. The furniture is nice as well. The gift shop was awesome. It had a huge selection of tequila, cigars, clothes, and many other souvenirs as well.
OVERALL-10/10: The Iberostar Cozumel is all you could ask for in a resort. It has great rooms, amazing pools, a beautiful beach and grounds, delicious food, and overall great service. I would highly recommend this resort to everyone and I personally will definitely return as soon as possible.

We are a family of four who were at the Iberostar with our 2 young children for one week. We were highly impressed by the enthusiastic, friendly staff and by the obvious effort that has gone into repairing the resort after the hurricane. The food was very good and the pool areas were great. There was never a shortage of lounge chairs or space. My husband went diving with the dive shop on site and enjoyed that too. The only downside that we can mention is the beach. It is not suitable for walking into as the rocks start right on shore. If you never leave poolside, this isn't an issue. A walk about 10 minutes down the beach took you to the Occidental Hotel which did have a nice sandy beach but was too far away for our young children to be carried to. We heard from others that they were happy with that resort. The majority of guests at the hotel while we were there seemed to be from the U.K or from Texas.

Everyone must come and visit the Iberostar Cozumel. I have just come back from a two weeks holiday with my husband and two other couples. We stayed from the 17th - 31st May and must say that it is by far the best complex that my husband and i have ever stayed at. Firstly, all of the staff from the waiters, maids, gardeners, porters to the star friends team are so freindly and always smiling. Infact we made quite good freinds with the star freinds team while we were there as we were chatting and drinking with them quite allot after the shows. All of their performances were great, they work so hard and such long hours they desrve lots of credit for what they do.
The rooms were cleaned everyday, and linen too!, the hammock is a great touch and with a beer fridge in the wardrobe a beer on the hammock was great!
The food was very good and there was always something for everyone. The drinks were good, i particularly liked the miami vice cocktail.
The hotel has been transformed in 4 months because of being hit twice by the hurricanes of 2005 and we were shown photo images on the projector the night before we left of the devastation that was caused by them. The amount of work that has been put in for it to get back to some normality for us tourists is unbelievable, they are so grateful that we still came to cozumel. I would definately go back infact i miss it already.
