Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas All Inclusive

The beach by the hotel is beautiful, the staff is amazing, the food delicious. They even surprised me for my birthday with a special decoration and gift.

The place wasn’t as clean as expected. We observed the same flip flops lying around for almost a week, the hotel room floor wasn’t cleaned on a daily basis.

- Really nice selection of food- Fantastic tapas bar with local beverages- Late checkout

- The room wasn't really too new- The shower hasn't been cleaned up properly, some fungus was visible- The A/C was very strong in common areas- No hot drinks during meals other than breakfast = you had to physically go to a specific bar where they are served

The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms need some renovation but very clean. Beach is just down stairs. A variety of choices for dinner.

My husband did not feel well one night possibly due to the steak during the dinner. But overall the food is ok.

Good facilities, good food, clean

Staff senior management rude, unhelpful, lied about an earlier conversation about room description issue. Was resolved at end of trip but had already given me a bad impression of the hotel.

Great location , Good food , Clean Rooms , Beautiful beach , We will be back .

The food was great and we would recommend this hotel to others, we liked our room because it had a good view on the ocean. We were really satisfyed with the pools outside, which included many activities such as aquagym, pool party and many other games.And lat but definitely not least, the shows, they were so funny.

The beach was a little far away from our resort but it was okay and the paying for the bowling was quite unnecessary. Also the sunbaths were charged.

Breakfast and lunch in the oasis bar were great. Lots of choice and delicious salads Evening meal more choice for vegetarians and fish eaters which I enjoyed but husband not so muchGood choice of wines and spirits Staff fantastic on reception and in restaurants and bar. Various activities if you wanted themRecommend booking bus for transfer as much cheaper than taxi and excellent serviceBeautiful views and beach

Pre made cocktails in the bars.No tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms.The spa is in another hotel just oppositePrefer to go to evening meal when we want rather than choose a sitting

Hotel view - choice of food Infinity pool

Had to pay extra for the special pool experience

It has a great location, the food and drinks were great, I loved that the drinks were self service, so you didn’t have to wait in line to get served, the animation team were fun and enthusiastic. So overall we had a great time, I would definitely recommend it.

We’ll initially I asked for a transfer from the airport, which they told me they don’t organize, than I requested that they recommend a transfer company, but never got a reply to that email.

The hotel's location is fantastic; you can take a walk on the beach just by stepping out the door, and within 50 meters, you're on the sand. Shops are also nearby. The best asset of this hotel is its smiling and helpful staff.

We experienced plumbing issues with a sewage smell in the bathroom and poor TV reception, particularly in our Star Prestige room. The air conditioning was noisy, and there was a rattling fan. The balcony mattresses were soaked, and the food focused more on quantity than quality. Additionally, staff only communicated in German without asking about our preferred language first. :(

The food was good and the location.

This hotel is from 70s and is extremely old. The rooms are super old, the toilet is moving when you sit down, canals smell bad. Air conditioning is with 3 levels but you cannot put a certain temperature levels, again very old. They want to be sustainable and have put water to refill bottles but the water is with horrible chlorine taste. The hotel has forbidden the inside shop to sell water but for the prestige they serve bottled water. This makes no sense! Other hotels offer good quality water yo refill.

Great selection of meals and drinks. Nice atmosphere. Friendly and efficient staff with smile on their faces. The little higher cost is justified. Definitely coming back.

Wifi could be faster otherwise cannot not think of any other shortcomings of out stay.

It’s hard to explain , we like everything ,hotel really nice comfortable a lot of areas to spend a time ,food amazing everything fresh always changing menu ,snacks and drinks all day , a l lot of activities , staff really friendly helpful ,we will back definitely .

Almost everything according to the stay, the staff was very friendl, location of the hotel is very beautiful , the food was delicious. Some people complained for the long distance from the hotel to the beach , but I wouldn’t say the same . The distance was short with no step hills steep hills . The beach was just amazing, clear blue water, yellow-white sand , weather in our stay was good. We were 12-19 April 2023, but last day was a bit cloudy and windy.

The hotel is more for families with kids . I thought to travel myself only, but last time a friend of mine agreed to go with me and I was very lucky about as in case to travel alone, I would feel in the hotel very uncomfortable and lonely. All people around were with kids . Young couples with little kids or Grandparents with their grandchildren. Also the swimming pool was constantly crowded with kids and the sun beds were occupied with towels since 6am pretending that someone left just for 5 minutes. The other swimming pool was empty as the water was bloody cold. The SPA needs modernisation, I guess it is old like since 1980s , but clean. The food was good, we were served everything people need within a week , plenty of alcohol too, but the desserts were very cheap on taste like palm oil stuff and the chocolate in the desserts tasted line plasticine . We decided to stay just with fruits. Our room was impossible sometimes to open as the electronic key simply didn’t want to work and the reason was not in demagnetization as we kept our keys separately from our phones and other doors like entrance to the hotel from the beach side , works good. The lounge area was good and even a couple of times during our stay ( 7 days) in there was a proper disco music with a Dj and entertainment, but rest of days elderly were playing table games with their grandchildren or families with kids , so not a lot too do in the lounge for friends like us , so after the dinner we just had another cocktail or some coffee at the reception area and then were going bed as no option. There was a cinema hall with everyday live music , but again that kind of stuff for families. The pillows in our room were very uncomfortable thin.

The food was really good with a big variety

The beach is not well connected to the hotel and there is no service linked to the hotel (bed, towel, bar,…)

very nice and available staff. close to a large beach. nice food

Great location right at the beach and nice views from room. Good food!

The bathrooms were a bit smelly and since they're open towards the room, the room also smelled badly

Food was excellent, varied choice and freshBeds were lovely and comfortableRange of drinks was good

We chose the Star Prestige package and apart from the separate terrace/pool didn't feel it merited the extra expenseThe rooms were a little disappointing, with lots of damage/chips to the furniture and walls giving a shabby feel

The complex was great ?

The chef didn't have a carveing knife and fork and sharpened the knife by sharpen it on another chopping knife loopmanagement should provide a sharping stone,steel carveing knife and fork

wheelchair accesses where very goodstaff where very good

though booking.com i could not get any resident discount i booked all inclusive and could not get into the all adults pool and sun lounge aria without paying more moneyfood not up to 4 star standard
