  Magnificient Staff

  I spent two blissful weeks at Iberostar Waves Cristina and did not want to leave! Many thanks to all the wonderful attentive, efficient, hardworking, friendly staff. What an incredible team they all are. A huge credit to Iberostar Waves Cristina. It's five stars and more from me! I was treated very well for my whole stay. Huge thanks in particular (sorry if not got names exactly right) to Marta with blonde curly hair at reception who welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at ease when she said "We will take care of you here" and she was absolutely right, Blanca for her patience and kindness, Josef who always had a happy smile on his face and was extremely attentive and caring, Ramon who looked after me when I took migraine - he was a superhero coming to my rescue, Mariana the chef for letting me know which foods are gluten free and arranging for delicious gluten free desserts, also the male chef and other female chef I am so very grateful for your kindness too, all the kitchen staff for their hard efforts in challenging hot conditions, cheery wait staff who were so friendly, Sylvie and the rest of the reception team who were very helpful, Marie the Manager for her thoughtfulness and attention to details and other lady Manager (sorry I forget your name) I was so delighted when you made me up a name card for my table and the gentleman with dapper suit director I think always smiling and welcoming in the dining room ensuring everything is perfect. Thanks also go to the housekeeping team for their hard work. I loved the delicious food in the restaurant and especially enjoyed the live traditional dancing from a lady and gentleman on a few evenings whilst eating. The music and dancing before me really did bring a tear of happiness to my eye. I was amazed at the choice of milk at breakfast and so happy to have almond and soya milk. Great selection of tea bags. Tip for everyone - the handles of cups are small and very hot so please remember to use a saucer or a plate. Great there was a carafe in room that you fill up at water station in corridor. Often it would run out but just behind the lifts down a corridor there was another station. I did find the ground floor station always seemed to be full to fill up any water bottles. There is such a happy, relaxed buzz about the hotel at all times. Really felt a cosy atmosphere with all ages and nationalities enjoying themselves. Room was bright and spacious with plenty of wooden coathangers. I had 12. I prefer radio to television and was delighted plenty of radio stations on offer to listen to on the tv. I mostly listened to Melodia FM. Many British programmes in another language but I found a button at bottom of remote control which turned it back to it's original version. I got to watch The Mentalist, Death In Paradise and The Mysteries of Laura with Debra Messing. I attended the yoga sessions and loved them in the cosy spa area. Thanks to the lovely blonde girl from Ukraine and also the other female who took over from her. It was her first yoga class and she done a grand job! I took part in table tennis too which I thoroughly enjoyed. Being a solo traveller it is always good to have people to play it with. Evening entertainment was great. My favourite was the fantastic soul singer on the casino night. He had some really nifty dance moves. Music quiz, bingo, flamenco dancing, circus acts were just some of the attractions. Big thanks to all the animation team. Kids really seemed to enjoy themselves at the Star Camp. So much for them to do. Great there's a climbing frame etc outside and good to see in keeping with the whole care for the environment from Iberostar you could leave toys in a box for others to enjoy. Just like the bookcase in the indoor theatre area. I like the fact that there's plenty of areas for wheelchair access and those with mobility issues etc with ramps and space for wheelchairs in the bar area/indoor theatre. Plenty of blue disabled parking spaces too which are always hard to come by. The paddle tennis courts were always busy just past the car park of hotel. Great to watch. My first time on a balinese bed and it felt like luxury. So comfortable and relaxing. There is a whole row of them and plenty of round large couches nearby. I visited the 5 star Iberostar hotel across the road and also another 4 star nearby to see what their entertainment was like as by the 2nd week I had already seen the acts at this hotel on my first week. I only stayed a few minutes in each. I noticed there was not the same friendly vibe that this hotel - Iberostar Waves Cristina had. I felt so grateful to be staying here. I would highly recommend Iberostar Waves Cristina to everyone. You are guaranteed a fantastic holiday. I enjoyed it so much I will definitely return. In fact from the very first day of my arrival I felt like I wanted to come back again! That is all down to the incredible team of staff, variety of delicious food, sporting activities, entertainment, friendly vibe and spacious room. On that note I would love to get the same room again if it is possible at the time of booking. I liked that the palm tree leaves shaded me from the hot sun on the balcony! See you all soon, take good care

  Nice hotel for a holiday

  Very nice hotel. Clean and modern, with very nice bright rooms, comfortable beds and quite good view. Though what's called "garden view" is more a city view, since the garden is very small. But otherwise nothing to complain about. The whole hotel is well decorated as well. They have a quite big heated inner pool, so you can swim even in winter. The outside pool and the area around it is also very nice, with tall palm trees like in carribeans. They had a drinkable warer dispenser at each floor, where you could fill your bottles for free, and even choose the temperature of the water. The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was amazing, lot of options to choose from. Though the churros were a bit undercooked some days, the rest of the food was delicious. At lunches and dinners, they offer beer and wine. The wines are really good, the beer not so much (but that's in any country besides Czechia, Germany and Netherlands). The hotel uses local food sources and clean energy, without a single inconvenience. Very good stay.

  Excellent hotel for families – we love it!

  This was the second year visiting this hotel with my wife, daughter and parents. My father is disabled so its proximity to the airport is great, with everything at the hotel you would need and only a short walk to the beach. The kid's club and entertainment was amazing, my wife and mum took part in many sports activities with Vero, who was amazing. And Jhosep did a fantastic job of making sure all guests were happy and having a great experience. We really could not fault the service and we will definitely be back.
