Let’s start with the good stuff : - the food is excellent, in quality and variety, especially the buffet. - the staff are very nice, friendly and professional. Special thanks to the people working in restaurants and the animation team. Small issue was with the house keeping which do our room a bit late (usually after 3pm), probably short stuffed, not the ones to blame. What I didn’t like about the hotel: - the hotel provides you with a water carafe which you have to fill each time from a common water dispenser and it’s terribly slow so at night times you have to do the line. If you wake up in the middle of the night thirsty then it’s an issue. It’s good to be eco conscious but making money out of that by selling a small reusable « plastic » bottle for 4.90 doesn’t seem so ethical. Walking around the hotel you can see that everyone has it. - we booked a premium room which has nothing premium but a convertible couch which is non confortable at all. -at the check-in we have been told that there is a nice rooftop pool with an amazing view but we found out when we were heading up there that you need to pay extra fees (star prestige or something) to get access to some parts of the hotel including that. Ps: when I pay for an all inclusive, I expect to have 3 meals per day, if the check-in is at 3 and the check-out is at 11 then you can’t have that.

Nice looking property. Great food in most places. Mexica restaurant was confusing, served something but not Mexican food and served so little of it that we followed up with a visit to the buffet The resort has no ambiance or character. Entertainment staff show no personality. Learn from your Mexican, Dominican and Jamaican properties. They are fun. By day two, Starfriends know my kids by name. This place feels like no one really wants to be there: clock in, go through the motions, clock out. I have not even met the star friends here - no idea who they were. People serving food (especially the gentleman grilling meats in the buffet by the beach) should work on keeping their attitudes under control - I don’t need their snarky comments. Overall a good experience but nothing to write home about…

Highly recommend! Loved our stay!
We spent a lovely long weekend at Iberostar Selection Albufera Playa. ROOM: We booked a shared pool room but didn’t get what we paid for (the room was near the shared pool but not in front of it which isn’t the same experience) so we asked to change and the reception team was very quick to offer a better room with a balcony which was great! POOLS: there’s a few pools spread around the resort, all great for different moments of the day. Our 3 year old daughter had a blast on the Kids pools with slides and mini disco at the end of the day. FOOD: The food was really good, the buffets had such a great variety - lots of fruits, salads, vegetables, deserts, and many different main options: paella, meat, any thing you would want. We tried the 3 restaurants: Greek and Mexican were very nice! The Spanish one was recommended to be the best one, but although the setting of siting outside under trees listening to great live music, the food was disappointing. Drinks in general were great, lots of options behind the bars at all times. ENTERTAINMENT: the entertainment was such a great surprise! There’s lots of activities throughout the day for all ages; in the evening there’s also a show/presentation (band playing 80s, a group of dancers performing songs from Adam’s Family, rock band)

Hotel was nice but the food situation was not great. There were restaurants but we were unable to get reservations as they were full the entire time we were there (4 nights) so we were forced to eat the buffet for every meal which was ok for 1 or 2 meals but not 3 meals a day for 4 days.

Overall fantastic experience. We have stayed in multiple locations such as Dubai, Turkey and USA. In terms of value for money this was by far the best. The food was very tasty and lots of healthy options. The room and 24hr cafe was great too. Very clean and modern. Even the private beach was perfect as not to many people and its not to much of a walk from the hotel. I will be staying here again in future. One slide downside would be gym could be made bigger and the spa is not that great.

"Wow! Our stay at the all-inclusive resort was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. The food was out of this world! With a variety of dining options to choose from, including international cuisine and local specialties, every meal was a culinary delight. The buffet spread was especially impressive, offering an array of fresh, flavorful dishes to satisfy any palate. Activities and entertainment were plentiful, catering to guests of all ages. nightly shows and live music, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, the kids' club kept the little ones entertained while parents relaxed and indulged in some well-deserved R&R. Overall, our experience at the all-inclusive resort exceeded all expectations. It was the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and fun, making it an unforgettable getaway. We can't wait to return!"

Wonderful
Second time at a Iberostar. It is a great place. All workers there are helpful, seem happy and work well together. You must treat them well. Very comfortable. I would come again. So relaxing. Food was good. But here are some comments - room was a little small. No room for 2 suitcases. We had to use the desk. No waste paper basket in main room ( one could fit under the bedside table.) Because of structure of desk we cold not stow things under desk. Perhaps more shelves, or hooks. - we wanted to explore the island but you had little info about it. The one person there could sell us a boat trip but we would have to take city bus to next town! We went walking outside and found a travel agent not related to your hotel. We could get a bus there for tour of caves ( and other places if we wanted) We did this …it made us enjoy our time at Iberostar even more being able to do this. Consider more help in tours - I was on roof with star prestige. Lovely but often all chairs were occupied with towels /possessions being saved. Perhaps a notice not to do this so all could enjoy
