It is a large all inclusive resort; a total of 390 rooms.
An Iberostar package includes: room accommodations, all meals and all drinks and non-motorized water sports. Rooms have a flat screen TV, DVD player, 24 hour room service and a mini bar stocked with soft drinks and water.
This hotel/Resort is fairly new in the Mo'Bay area; about 1 year and some months old. If you want the property all to yourself, October is the month to go! Occupancy was low around that time.
The property consist of three (3) separate sections:
1. Beach Section
2. Suite Section
3. Grand Section - ADULTS ONLY
Guest staying in the Beach Section only have access the the Beach Section.
Guest staying in the Suite Section have access to the Suite and Beach Section only. Guest staying in the Grand Section have access to all 3 sections.
During my visit, the Beach Section was closed for renovations. I toured the Suite and the Grand Sections.
Suite Section
The lobby - Very modern and chic. Very large open space.
Room Accommodations - All of the rooms are suites and are the same size. The view differentiates the type of room - standard, superior or deluxe. The rooms are spacious; nice size area where the bed and dresser are located and a comfortable sitting area is separated from the room area. The bathrooms have a separate shower stall and a bath tub.
In the Suites Section there is a small casino, cigar bar - very cute and cozy!, game room with pool tables and an internet cafe - another cute and cozy room!
The Spa - There is a complimentary wellness pool. It's like a big whirlpool bath with heated tiled lounge chairs.
The fitness center is also included with a package. It contains just about every type of workout equipment found in an average gym. There's also a spin room.
Massage treatments are at an extra cost.
Restaurants - There are 4 a la carte theme restaurants; choose from Mediterranean, Mexican and Steakhouse cuisines. Although these restaurants are part of the all inclusive plan, reservations are needed. Reservations are not needed for the buffet restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Grand Section
Very nice grand lobby with grand double stairs leading to the beach area. It's totally grand. Which is why they call it the grand section! This section of the resort is for Adults only.
The pool area is gorgeous. There are cabanas with bed like lounge chairs.
Room Accommodations - These rooms are very nice - as they should be! The balconies are my favorite. With a hammock like chair, a little couch and wood floors, it's a spacious, cute and cozy area to sit and relax in the morning and in the evening.
I did a quick tour in this section. I spent more time in the Suites section.
Overall, this is a very nice resort. I can't comment on the Beach section because I was unable to see it. The Beach Section is the less expensive of the 3. This is the moderately priced section. The Suites Section would be the middle in terms of cost of the 3. The Grand Section being the most expensive.
I really liked the Suites Section. I totally loved the room decor in the Grand Section and the pool side amenities. However, if funds do not support the Grand Section, I would choose the Suites Section. You would still get the same roomy suite feel.
