### 2/5 — Can’t get to the booking page

*2026-07-30, version 8.0.9*

I get part way along the booking but when I try to see the rooms and prices it won’t take me there.

### 2/5 — Missing features

*2026-07-27, version 8.0.8*

The previous version of the app showed every restaurant on site and their operating hours and menus. This version only shows two out of the five Joia Paraiso restaurants, and loads those from the other restaurants in the complex instead. 
On other visits we found the app to be glitchy and unreliable, as it was not up to date. It’s okay for general information, especially if there’s a fee involved, but for specific purposes, not to be counted on.

### 2/5 — New update is not working

*2026-07-06, version 8.0.0*

The new app is not allowing me to login… I had to update, and now does not let me logging as a member.  I am at the hotel right now and would like to use the app before I leave.

### 3/5 — A lot more makes sense

*2026-07-05, version 7.8.31*

The map needs improvement--glitchy and using a very pixelated image. Search function could be improved.

Glad the app exists though!

### 4/5 — Need restaurant reservation options built into the app.

*2026-07-05, version 7.8.31*

App is great, only recomendation would be to have the option of making restaurant reservation right in the app instead of in person.

### 4/5 — First time here

*2026-07-04, version 7.8.31*

Everything is good very nice room pool beverages. The staff remembers my name.

### 3/5 — M Haddock

*2026-07-03, version 7.8.31*

Rooms are very poor and  in need of refurbishment.  Ceiling in need of replastering
AirCon constantly goes off & on, poor distribution of cold air.
I have reported TV not working on 3 occasions still not fixed.
Outdoor facilities are very good, staff excellent, food good.
Individually I only drink red wine & product offered is very poor therefore I purchase bottle/s each night which are very good & reasonably priced.
Comparing to other Iberostar hotels we have stayed in its a 3/5 our last stay was in Lanzarote Playa Blanca 
4.5/5.
I would not be returning to this hotel.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-27, version 7.8.31*

Location,hotel,activities,entertainment,food,staff, cleanliness,management 
EXCELLENT,EXCELLENT

### 5/5 — Mrs Townsend

*2026-06-26, version 7.8.31*

Great addition to the hotel, makes it so much easier to plan the day with activities

### 5/5 — Fantastic hotel

*2026-06-26, version 7.8.31*

Hotel is absolutely fantastic spotless and range of food superb this hotel is perfect for anyone who may have walking difficulties

### 5/5 — Siempre elegimos Iberostar

*2026-06-26, version 7.8.31*

Siempre elegimos esta cadena hace 10 años. Es una cadena familiar. Nos  gusta, nos resuelve. Descansamos la pasamos bien. La comida es rica y los lugares preciosos.

### 5/5 — Really useful

*2026-06-26, version 7.8.31*

Works really well

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-06-25, version 7.8.31*

The app has been helpful in so many ways. Love the calendar of activities at your fingertips, knowing when your room is about to be cleaned. The whole stay has been amazing and the people so friendly.

### 5/5 — Very resourceful

*2026-06-25, version 7.8.31*

It's very functional and helping me navigate my stay there

### 2/5 — Not accurate at all

*2026-06-25, version 7.8.31*

If you wanna go to a restaurant at one of the hotels and it says it’s open it’s most likely not. The app was very inaccurate about the hours and the days each restaurant were open. It was also extremely hard to book a reservation on the app without asking someone else that worked at the hotel.

### 4/5 — Montenegro stay

*2026-06-24, version 7.8.31*

Useful app for times of activities but it could do with a message board for last minute cancellations/alterations.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-08-16, version 8.1.1*

App does not work. Just arrived. Food hotel and everything seems amazing. But every time I try and load the app I get a data loading problem. 

I love to plan and organise. So a little jarring when you can’t get it to work. 

Failing and staff seem brilliant. Only a review in the quality of the app.

### 1/5 — New app sucks

*2026-07-23, version 8.0.8*

I can’t even get to looking for new places to go. Only gives me the option to see future bookings. Please fix this asap or all you will be getting is phone calls. Thanx.

### 1/5 — Needs improvement

*2026-07-23, version 8.0.8*

Still needs work. Just keeps spinning or if you get in you can’t navigate. Hope they fix this.

### 1/5 — App update terrible

*2026-07-06, version 8.0.0*

Mandatory app update 6 July 2026 during our stay. Logged us out, cannot login again and cannot use the app. App previously worked great and so handy during our holiday now completely useless.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-20, version 7.8.31*

Terrible doesn’t work

### 1/5 — O app ate é bom, mas o hotel deixa a desejar

*2026-06-18*

Funcionários super mal educados, as bebidas são feitas de qualquer jeito e não ficam boas. Reservar restaurante temático é quase impossível. Sem contar que os quartos são longes e é impossível pegar um carrinho pra chegar no quarto

### 1/5 — Food menu scam

*2026-04-09, version 7.8.25*

No food menus, all restaurant menus take you to their paid wine offerings.

### 1/5 — Glitchy to the point of being useless

*2026-03-20, version 7.8.25*

Tried using the app while staying at Iberostar in Punta Cana. Had multiple issues with making restaurant reservations, ordering room service, and bookmarking activities.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on property

*2026-03-08, version 7.8.24*

The app just flat out doesn’t work on property. You cannot search for anything you can’t get ahold of tech-support. I even rebooted my phone and reinstalled the app. Frustrating . I even tried the resort Wi-Fi and Internet.

### 1/5 — Iberostar app

*2026-03-03, version 7.8.24*

Not up to date and map is very difficult to navigate. Buffet and restaurant hours are incorrect, also reservation requirements are inconsistent.   Pretty useless.

### 5/5 — Using the app and staff

*2026-07-06, version 8.0.0*

Using the app is so easy from booking sunbeds, to seeing what’s going on in the hotel 
The staff can’t do enough for you one of the best ever hotels I’ve stayed in

*2026-07-04, version 7.8.31*
