We have traveled over the holidays twice to Iberostar Del Mar Cancun. We find it to be clean, food options are great. Accommodations for gluten free and vegan are becoming more available. The tropical environment of the resort is fantastic. But what makes this place so special, is the staff. They are friendly, helpful, and make you feel like family. Highly recommend. The on sight nightly shows and lobby activities make it fun.

Hotel - clean and well maintained. Service- great.Food - tasty. Beach- NO. Water is warm and clear but If you plan to swim at the ocean- forget about it: rocks in the water, so its impossible to get in the water.

Properly and staff were great. Rooms are clean and quiet but the showers have low pressure and not very warm. Lots of walking to get from rooms to food options. Food was average and the drinks were the low spot for me. My booking was for all taxes and fees included but they still charged me some bogus environmental fee on check out… lame. Plus the front desk staff really wants to sell you some breakfast and sales pitch for their time share thing… lame. Beach has lots of seating options and the pools were very nice. The grounds are lush very well maintained. Overall a good place for a fair price but the drinks and food need some work. Many areas of the property are restricted depending on your booking status.

For us, the food and the beach was what really stood out. The food is TOP NOTCH... skip the restaurants, the buffet has everything you need to be happy and it always has something for everyone in your family. The beach is large and gorgeous, with a great bar and even a beach grill (with good food) right there. We barely even saw the pool because we enjoyed the beach so much. The staff was incredible, always helpful and so kind. Our rooms were clean, big, and just what we needed. It is incredibly safe, our teens were able to navigate the resort on their own and we all felt completely comfortable. We love that this resort is family owned and focuses on sustainability. The efforts of this resort to be environmentally responsible are very visible at every turn and it makes the stay feel even more luxurious. No reason to see any other resorts, we have been to many, and this really is the BEST!

Our room on the beach was very comfortable. The resort grounds were exceptional, with jungle landscaping, complete with wild critters (swans, pheasants, iguanas, wild pigs, parrots, ...). The buffets were excellent. We only tried one of the booked restaurants (Smoke House) and the food was not impressive. My only significant complaint is that there were no written warnings in the room that the tap water was not drinkable, and that toilet paper was not to be put in the toilet but rather in a basket in the bathroom. Perhaps these features are known to seasoned Mexico travellers, but newcomers need to be warned of these issues, especially the water problem as it is a health concern.
