Perfect 1st solo trip!! Loved this hotel!
My first solo trip and booked 5 days at the iberostar waves cristina. Had a fantastic break. Staff are so lovely, friendly and helpful. Food was great, so much choice and different everyday. I had a treatment at the spa almost everyday with Natalia who was spectacular and so kind. The treatments with her made this a super relaxing break. I would come back just for that!!

Pros: This hotel is just a 5-minute walk to the beach, making it incredibly convenient. There are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance, and a nearby supermarket adds to the convenience. The area feels safe, which is a big plus. The pool is large, and there’s also a designated play area for kids. Cons: The room condition shows a bit of its age, which is noticeable but didn’t significantly impact our stay.

Don’t know where to start overall this was a scam and horrible experience. On the website it says ALL INCLUSIVE and u do have to pay extra for that so I did that. The day I arrived they told me I can only get 3 drinks at lunch time and 3 during dinner which wasn’t describe on the website when I was booking. They told me I can get drinks at the bar which they were charging me for. And the all inclusive was only when u were eating lunch and you couldn’t get what u wanted u were only allowed beer or wine. On top of that no room service and food was ONLY in certain hours open u were not allow to eat whenever u wanted to. My room smelled so bad I complained a million times they finally said they will change my room for additional cost which I don’t think was fair. No towels in the room tv was broken mold on the walls just disgusting and not worth any money. I have pictures and proof of this terrible hotel. Also when I was checking out I got charged for all the drinks I got which was supposed to be included and the food. Not fair. I did eat out and drink out of the hotel. I do request a refund this was horrible. And on top of that we had people walk with iPads telling us to put 5stats for everything for a free drink.

Trevligt hotell
Trevlig hotell som har bra frukost och middagbuffé. Fin pool och trevliga allmäna sällskapsrum. Rummen skulle kunna ha bättre bäddning med flera kuddar, samt bäddad säng med varmare täcken. Några saker som satt lösa i badrummet, så det skulle behöva ses över.
