The cleaning of the room was perfect on day 1. After that, it dropped off and we had to call for cleaning services regularly. We even had one night that we had a hard time getting anyone to bring us towels since the room wasn't cleaned that day. Overall, the stay was great. I would stay here again. I now know the steps to take to ensure things are done. Having a rental car is great. The resort has a valet that will bring you your car and park it at no charge (tipping appreciated). The cost of drinks is extremely high at the resort. $10 for a beer that costs <$2 at the store. Buy them at the Super Food and bring them from your room. The service at the beach is lacking. Don't expect fast service down there. If you have a butler, use them instead. Otherwise, you're going to have to deal with slow waits, cold food, and warm drinks. On occasion it is faster. That is more rare.

The hotel is pretty new. From room to amenities in the resort, everything is great! For parents with kids, they charge extra for kid stay ( my son only 3 years old) which I don’t see it often at other resorts. And you’ll be charged with service fee besides tax and room price at the beginning ( I didn’t realize it until I went to Hyatt afterwards while comparing the invoices in Expedia app). Overall, the experience was amazing but a little bit pricey given it’s not an all inclusive service.

Not bad, but definitely not 5 star. There are much better choices for the price. Pros: 1 new hotel, very clean. Beautiful lobby and comfortable rooms. 2 location. Hotel is on eagle beach, although it’s not actually on the beach (see cons). Cons: 1 Dining experience was bad. Food and drinks were priced similar to top hotels but quality was much lower. Choices/selection is limited and poor. 2 location- it’s across the street from the beach. And it’s a bit of a walk from the rooms. There are many other hotels that are directly on the water and this creates a much better more relaxed feel and better ambience, where you can walk from your room right onto the beach. Iberostar also has no beach restaurant/bar, and no beach cabanas. Generally the layout of the hotel exacerbates this and creates an impersonal and stark feel. 3 service. Service is often slow…meanwhile it’s not uncommon to see the staff all hanging out together. 4 hours: pool closes ant 600 pm. Ridiculously early, especially since this is right after the wind tends to die down on Aruba. Worse: they take away the beach chairs before sunset: so if you want to watch sunset, you’ll be doing it from the sand. I would not stay at iberostar again unless it was part of a super cheap package…and honestly it’s a joke to call this place a 5 star hotel.

It's a new hotel and the rooms were clean and the maids were very polite, Overpriced!! Hotel drinks very expensive restaurants we're not that good only two restaurants available! The best part was Eagle Beach There's nothing around the hotel it's very secluded it's a very boring Hotel! For a five-star hotel the Texi service representing the hotel was very rude big issue when wanted to go to Palm Beach!! Try to contact management three days ago and no response!! I will never go back to this hotel!!

Pros: -Clean , beautiful grounds. Place is new so, the grounds are beautiful & well kept -Staff was extremely friendly and catering -I recommend adding the all you can eat buffet breakfast (which comes with unlimited mimosas) to your stay. It was delicious with a wide variety of food. Omelettes, and French toast made fresh. It was a great way to get the day started without having to leave the resort. -The massage (which we got for free for sitting in on a short presentation about Iberostar), was phenomenal. Use of spa for the. - they provided you with his and her slides to keep, and a beach bag and beach towels you can use daily and purchase at the end of your stay if you want. The slides were cute and comfy and a nice touch. -Jacuzzi on the balcony was very nice and the balcony was a nice size. - it was nice that there was always a taxi waiting near the lobby area to take you anywhere you want to go. If there wasn’t one there, the staff would call, and they would come quick. - the diffuser scent in the hallway is great -there is a very small fridge in the room which was nice. You can fill with your own items. Cons: -Elevator stopped working for days -Damp smell in room -No daily activities. Have to pay. Even for yoga -No real nightlife -Turndown service went downhill more n more each night. One night the didn’t do it at all Overall, I would stay again. Hoping they get the kinks out since the place is new.
