I AM SHOCKED - Iberostar Selection Cancun is Phenomenal!
I just stayed at Iberostar Selection Cancun and - for the money - it is astonishingly amazing. I've stayed at ultra-luxury all inclusive resorts that cost double ($700) and not received this sort of enjoyment. My stay at Iberostar Cancun was one of the most complete, consistent & quality all-inclusive resort experiences I've ever encountered.
In this video, I bring you along with me for my entire three-day, 88 hour hotel stay at Iberostar Selection Cancun. Every single highlight and lowlight of this hotel stay is captured in gorgeous 4k HDR video that is accompanied with exclusive insights from the only person in the world that has stayed at over 50 all-inlusives resorts in the last two years - me!
VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
- Complete Tour of The Most Popular Room at the Coral Level (Adults-only Tower)
- Overview of room service options and quality
- Dinner at the steakhouse - La Parilla
- Evening Entertainment Show - Fire Show
- A day at Iberostar Selection Cancun BEACH
- Dinner at the Italian Restaurant - La Horma
- Breakfast at the Iberostar Buffet - La Barca
- A complete pool day - all the pools at Iberostar Selection Cancun
- Iberostar Selection Cancun Coral Level Evening Entertainment Show
- Nightlife at Iberostar Cancun - Both Lobby Bars & Nightclub/Discotech (La Terraza, Las Palmas, Vertigo)
- 3 BIG THINGS to know before you book Iberostar Cancun
- PROS & CONS of staying at Iberostar Selection Cancun
What comes to mind when you think “Cancun”? At Iberostar, it means fun for the little ones at Aqua Fun, beaches that stretch for miles but are only a few steps away, a pre-Columbian era museum, contact with the local flora and fauna, discovering marine life, a spectacular golf course and thousands of other details you can expect from the 5 star category. Iberostar Selection Cancún meets all of these expectations and any other need you may have: relaxation in the pools, ocean views and a table that is always set at any of its 6 restaurants.

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I watched ALL of your Cancun videos; this one convinced me to book Iberostar coral level and it was the best experience! The food was great, the room was very cool/cold (in a good way, it’s hot here!), the staff were so fun and kind, and the drinks were great!! Keep up the great work, I look forward to watching more of your videos to book our next trip to Punta Cana! We appreciate you!!!

I am still crossing my fingers you will be visiting a Karisma/Prestige/Exotic resort soon. They are going through a ton of ownership changes... I am a member and I believe the service and food (for an all inclusive) is wonderful.

THANK YOU for another great review. We are scheduled to go in April to the Coral Level Iberostar. This will be our second resort, on your review. Last year was Punta Cana, Execellence for our honeymoon, and we loved it. We value your details of rooms, service, activities, the different options and most of all FOOD! We know it might not be as good or even better, different times of the year. But at less we know what to expect when we go there. Please keep the reviews coming. Thanks again for all the details!

I’ve been traveling to the Caribbean a lot and Iberostar is my go to resort specially the grand. You are on point in everything in an honest way. I’ve been to all of Iberostars in the Caribbean except Cozumel and I couldn’t wait for the Aruba to open. Yes, we can find imperfection but it has its own charisma to keep you coming back. I have to mention that the coral and grands have REAL cloth hand towels on their public bathrooms and real flowers/plants as well.

The balconies look beautiful I could sit out there all day looking at the ocean! I am excited to go here, at first I wasn’t too sure about this place because it was recommended by a family member that likes golf. Lol so I was not too sure about that because I’m not an avid golfer. But I do love volleyball and definitely swimming and I will be in that ocean no matter what lol! Thank you so much. I can’t wait to see your next adventure!🥰💯♥️♥️

Great video, thanks so much for sharing your take. I'll be there in May and am pretty excited about it after watching your review! Quick question: is the Coral-level area/facilities exclusive to those staying in that building? You mentioned "Adults Only" a lot when referring to Coral-level amenities and activities, but it wasn't clear if this meant "Adults-staying-at-Coral Only" or if adults staying in the general area of the hotel had access to those as well. Thanks again!

Coral was amazing, service and rooms great . It was a beautiful extension to Iberostar but is is a beatiful hotel with a beautiful beach and pool. Ocean swimming mostly impossible, water too rough. Just a nice beach , not tropical ,again nice Hotel with a nice beach. Staff great, food exceptional. The rest of Cancun is a tourist hustle, not worth the trouble. We probably won't return.

I just got back from iberostar Cancun. Here's my review of the coral level: Room: very clean View: all ocean front Night life: non existent Pros: the food is really good. The American steakhouse is the best. Cons: not for a solo traveler, or couples that like to have fun. Not even for seniors who like to have fun. Very boring, except for the family side (but kids are there). Nice place aesthetically. Lacks a vibe, and all the bars close early. No dj at the adult pool. Only one pool on the adult side. Adult layout lacks shaded areas. Extreme sun everywhere. Must reserve beach chairs early (7am). Will not return.
