| said: We went to Cozimel for the wedding of my daughter in October. Soon as we got there we had cocktails on arrival in the lounge as we waited for the allocation of our rooms. Lounge was stunning, with pink flamingo`s and iguana`s in view of lounge in there own lake. Room was first class right near the beach overlooking the swimming pool.
Room was cleaned everyday first class every part of the room was cleaned sheets changed everyday with decorative sculptures made out of flannels on the bed, different ones everyday.
Food was outstanding, so much choice buffet style with a Mexican restaurant a la carte and steak house restaurant. Most days food was served on the beach with dishes like paella.
Taxi a ride away to main shops and golf course, the dolphins short taxi ride away is an absolute must swimming with them was an experience of a life time.
Hotel staff I have never met such lovely staff from the reception area all the way to the cleaners everybody always had a smile on their face and so willing to make your holiday fantastic.
Entertainment staff worked so hard all through the day and still had energy to perform different shows every night to keep everybody entertained.
This hotel is by far the best hotel and holiday we have ever had and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anybody who would enjoy luxury with massive smile on your face.
So sad to leave my children didn't want to go home and they are 14 and 13 years. A must.

| said: The hotel was badly hit by last years hurricane but you would never guess. We were looked after as soon as we walked into the lovely reception area.
Food is of a high standard rooms are cleaned almost every day the staff could not do enough for you and the hotel location was fabulous.
The kids were kept occupied all day by the tireless entertainment staff and we were still rewarded with a brilliant show later in the evening.
All in all a fantastic holiday was had by all and we would definitley book again.

| said: The hotel has a mangrove swamp on site which the brochures fail to tell you. So you are swarmed with flies and mosquitoes constantly.
Also the pool area was dirty with a lot of flies and cigarette buts in the pool. The hotel was very badly hit in the hurricane so I don't know when it will re-open again.
The entertainment didn't start until 10.30pm so you had to hang around with nothing else to do in the meantime.
I would not rate this hotel as a 4+ but only a 2* at most. The beach was not very nice either a lot of dirt and debri from the sea. The rooms smelt of damp but were clean.
I wouldn't recommend the hotel to anyone.

| said: Please note main restaurant burnt down May 2005 and not rebuilt as of review.
Hotel is located on rocky beach about 20 mins taxi ride from San Miguel tourist area.Reception area also has main bar and small seating area and leads off to main restaurant and theatre through well tended gardens and ponds with flamingo's in.
Rooms are either small 2 storey blocks or semi detached bungalows and all rooms with a roof are thatched and many leak when raining as happened with us and friends.Rooms tended to have a musty smell and are small but very clean with a shower and mini bar, a sea view is not really available as trees on beach and lack of height of rooms prevent this and the rooms are scattered through out the gardens.
Food is maimly buffet and of decent to good quality, the a-la carte restaurants are nothing special though.Drinks are served at the swim up bars and restaurant in good measures and quality although vending cups in the main bar was very annoying along with the lack of seating.
The entertainment was good and the Dressel dive school excellent, the 1pm snorkel excursion is to be recommended and diving training extremely thorough.
The main problem with the place is how it looks, it comes across as tired and not a patch on other Iberostars that we have visited , its lack of seating and poolside beds which need grabbing by 8am and on occasions dirty pool area along with unnattractive beach swimming area are not outweighed by mostly good food and very friendly and helpful staff and we would'nt reommend it to anyone except watersport lovers and divers who only want a base .
We rate this place as 2+ stars and no way is it 4stars.
