I had a fantastic stay at Iberostar Waves Punta Cana, with clean facilities and a beautiful beach. However, the dining experience could use improvements, especially for vegetarians, and the reservation system for à la carte restaurants was a hassle.

Iberostar Waves Punta Cana offers a beautiful setting with well-maintained grounds and a lovely beach, but the dining experience was disappointing, especially with food temperature and management of a la carte restaurants. While my room was clean and the staff were generally friendly, there were issues with food options that often felt repetitive and not very exciting. Overall, it's a good value resort but not without its drawbacks.

The facilities included large, clean pools and well-stocked bars. There were also efforts to promote ecological practices, such as filtered water stations instead of plastic bottles. However, I did notice some maintenance issues, including a broken elevator during my stay.

The resort's facilities, including the large interconnected pools and beach areas, were impressive. However, the activity options felt more geared towards younger guests, which may not appeal to everyone.
