Iberostar Waves Founty Beach

Michelle Dupuis

We spent a week here and had the best time. The hotel is big and a fair walk to our room from the dining area but there are short cuts from the poolside. The staff work incredibly hard to maintain this hotel and it shows. The inside of the hotel is immaculately clean, the gardens and poolside areas are also spotless. There are 2 large pools with numerous lifeguards on duty who interact with guests. Our room was always spotless and cleaned daily. The staff were always friendly and could not do enough for us. The entertainment was great and something different every night. People do rush down to grab a sunbed but there is always plenty available (even in August) and the hotel was busy. The food was amazing and plenty of choice. When the main restaurant was finished, the poolside snack and drink bar were available and there was always something tasty to eat. The chefs were constantly cooking fresh food. Negative points?? Absolutely none at all. Great hotel with fantastic staff and we were sorry to leave. Highly recommend this hotel without any doubt.

Stayed here for a family holiday of 8. We really enjoyed our stay the staff are amazing and can’t do enough for you! Rooms were modern, spacious and clean. Although cleaners could do with wiping over sides in bathroom and mopping floors more. Food was good quality with various selections of tagine, pizza, pastas, soups, veg and salads but not enough meat selection for me and got a little repetitive. I don’t do breakfast but I did a couple of times for excursion days and they offer omelettes 👌 All inclusive drinks were great! The wine is the best I’ve tasted in all inclusive, in the evening there is a champagne and cocktail bar and they will make pretty much anything you ask for. There are plenty of sun beds around the pool but people do get up at silly o’clock to reserve the front row ones directly around the pool and some are claimed and not used all day so I think a sun bed monitor should be put in place. Daytime entertainment needs improving a little with more variety and better quality but again the entertainment staff are so much fun! Night time entertainment was mediocre just the same ‘Brazilian dancers’ every night with a different theme. Could do with bringing in the occasional professional act to mix it up a little. All in all fabulous hotel and amazing staff, I would definitely visit again.

We’ve stayed at Iberostar Founty Beach around 7–8 times over the past 6–7 years, and it’s been great to see how much the service and food quality have improved. The buffet now offers a wide variety of options and the food is consistently excellent. Location-wise, it’s perfect – right by the beach, which is a big plus. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and there’s usually plenty of space in the dining area, even at busy times. Afternoon tea is a lovely touch – the fresh donuts are a huge hit! That said, the 4–5pm serving window causes long queues. It would be great if they could serve them earlier or have more staff preparing them to ease the wait. A few things could still be improved: the room lighting is quite dim and could definitely be upgraded. Also, even though we booked a double room, we were given two singles pushed together, which made for a poor night’s sleep. Lastly, it would be nice if the hotel ensured there were no pork items on the buffet, as it would be more inclusive for many guests. Another small issue is the pool deck chairs – they’re often “reserved” with towels early in the morning and left unused for hours. The hotel should try to manage this better so everyone has a fair chance to relax by the pool. Overall, despite a few areas to improve, it’s a hotel we keep coming back to, and we’d definitely recommend it for its location, food, and great service.

Had the best time here on holiday with my mum, the service was amazing- the entertainment team work so so hard, it’s lovely to see how appreciated they are by the guests! The food in the hotel is amazing, as a vegan I’m very wary about an all inclusive holiday but the options were incredible and I never went hungry and there are so many options of different pulses for protein which was something I’ve never seen before. Rooms were nice, we had a sea view and it was so nice waking up to the waves every morning! 10/10 experience, already thinking of a trip back but for longer next time!

This place is an easy 5/5. Food and drink are good, staff are wonderful. Cleaners, restaurant, bar, reception all very friendly. Location right next to the beach and the pools are great. If I was forced to put some negatives down it would be there was a bit of a wait to check in and the bed was a bit hard for me, but I am getting old. Entertainment good and an all round safe family atmosphere. I will definitely be returning with my teenagers, who are hard to please, so it must be good.
