Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas All Inclusive

Still dreaming of my stay at Iberostar Waves Playa Gaviotas—sun, sea, and seriously good vibes. Huge love to Danny & the animation team for bringing the energy every day, and the Star Prestige crew for making everything feel so special. Vegetarian-friendly, sparkling clean rooms (like, spotless), and walking distance to cute shops and local vendors. I picked up some one-of-a-kind art and handmade jewelry—such a special touch to the trip. Already planning my return!

A Beautiful Iberostar hotel overlooking a long Sandy beach.An Ideal winter or early spring chill out destination. We stayed here from 22 Feb until the 2 of March and had good weather. We stayed in a Star Prestige room in a priority location,which over looked the infinity pool and the fantastic beach beyond.The room was Large ,light and spacious.It has ample storage for cloths and a nice bathroom which had a shower above a bath. There was the usual mini bar fridge ,safe, large tv and a coffee pod machine. In the Star Prestige area which is adults only there is a small lounge with newspapers,coffee machines and a fridge with wine and water to help your self too. There is also seating and a large tv. Just outside the lounge there is a bar area to which you help yourself to a wide range of branded drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic,there are also fresh juices ,snacks and fruit etc. The man who attends to this area also comes around the sun beds with refreshing drinks etc. Breakfast,lunch and dinner are served in the main hotel’s buffet restaurant but star prestige has it own area with in the restaurant. The food is varied and of a good quality. The whole hotel is kept spotless with friendly hard working staff. There is a Tapas bar and the main buffet restaurant. Is also a bar on the 6th floor with amazing views of the pools and the beach,there is also a bowling bar and an entertainment area. Star Prestige rooms have a mini bar and a coffee pod machine but if you want a kettle you have to ask for one at reception and pay a €20 deposit and €10 deposit for the safe key which are both refundable. We could not fault a thing about this hotel and we stayed here 6 years ago in a normal room and also had a love holiday so it depends on what you want and if you think Star prestige is worth it, we enjoyed it and would probably stay here in star prestige again.

Excelent stay with the kids during half term. Great facilities, amazing staff, fantastic entertainment and superb location. It is really good that we could used the sister hotel swimming pool facilities. It could be easily be a five star property with few tweaks such as having a minibar in the room or free use of the safe.

Fabulous 2 week holiday. Off to a great start with cava on arrival, swift and efficient check in and taken to our room by the porter. We had a great sea view on the 8th floor. Room was spotless with huge beds, TV with the main English channels, great wi fi, bathroom with toiletries, bath was a little tired looking but shower was great. Maids cleaned daily and brought us a tray for our travel kettle, coffee and cups. Water dispenser nearby for fresh drinking water. The food was fabulous with great choices, themed nights,loved the fresh grilled fish and meat, Canarian potatoes, salads and delicious desserts. Wine was good and the lady who came round serving sparkling wine each night was a lovely touch.The animation team were fantastic, big shout out to Danny, Julio, Mateus and Samuel and all the girls. Loved the aqua fit sessions, club dance, Sangria workshop and bingo(Shakey,shakey, mixy,mixy) Lots of other entertainment and activities on offer as well. Enjoyed the shows, cocktails in the bar with complimentary crisps/ nuts and casino night.The pool and the hotel surroundings were well maintained and cleaned daily. All the staff were friendly and professional. Overall we had a fabulous time.

This was a lovely 4star hotel. The food, staff and facilities were good. The hotel is in a fantastic location on the beach. There were some bad points however 1. The heated pool was closed on 3 successive days due to faeces in the pool. Obviously this was not a fault of the hotel but the clientele on holiday. We didn’t spend time in the pool after that and the other pool was so cold we didn’t use it either. 2. Also we saw one child without clothing in the poolside cafeteria area getting himself a drink and the same child weeing in the pool THERE SHOULD BE SIGNAGE REGARDING NO CHILDREN IN OR AROUND THE CAFE/POOL AREAS WITHOUT ADEQUATE SWIMWEAR 3. There wasn’t any hand wash in the men’s toilets next to the gym

First time with jet 2 holidays , and an iberostar hotel. All went very well until around 3rd day after which unadvised building work began in sister iberostar hotel next door. We then had to endure the almost constant sound of jack hammers and heavy vehicles moving around for the remainder of our holiday. We did inform jet 2 rep, and a formal complaint was registered. The next day we were advised that we would receive a compensation voucher for £540 , which was agreed and signed by all parties, and we would receive this shortly. We have been back home in the UK for 2 weeks now , and still have heard nothing, and have received no voucher ??? . Come on jet 2. Do the decent thing. You cannot change the fact our holiday was spoiled, but you can at least encourage us to use you again, and accept your failings ( or we will use Tui again, as we have done for 45 years) . When we get an outcome, I will be providing an update on this review
