The Most exciting resort around the Island.
I have been coming to this resort for fifteen plus years & each time they get better and better w/ the new updates. As well as the food, it's always exceptional. The administration is so generous/Kind & caring when it comes to your needs & wants. When I was younger/a child I was in a variety of different shows & played different characters. The animation staff is always very caring & helpfull. Thank for the amazing work that you all do!
Another amazing holiday thank you IWC!
This was our third stay at Iberostar Waves Cristina, and somehow it just keeps getting better! We had another amazing holiday and once again came away feeling so impressed by the hotel, the staff and the fantastic entertainment team.
A special thank you to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable. My 5 year old daughter, once again, took a particular shine to Patrick, who clearly made a big impression on her! That said the whole entertainment team are so engaging and lovely! As returning guests, we were also very lucky to experience some lovely personal touches, which really made us feel valued and appreciated.
I honestly can’t fault our stay. The energy throughout the hotel, the entertainment and the attention to detail are all fantastic and are a huge part of why we keep coming back.
Thank you, Iberostar Cristina, for another wonderful holiday. We absolutely love your energy, your entertainment and your attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️
Simply great
Wonderful hotel with excellent service. Martina was incredibly helpful and sweet, you can tell that she enjoys her job and cares about the guests. The buffet offers a great variety of food options, and the restaurant staff are also fantastic and very attentive. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel!
Highly recommend - great food and activities
We would highly recommend this hotel for families. We travelled with our 8 year old. The entertainment was fantastic, something on for children most of the time. From organised activities in the star camp to fun activities in the pool. The entertainment team were fantastic - especially a big thank you to Andrea and Tove who were so kind and welcoming to my daughter and really made the holiday for her.
We also loved the afternoon bingo, evening quiz and the evening shows. There was also lots of quiet corners and indoor and outdoor seating spaces should you not want to get involved in this, one night when we were tired we made use of their board game corner and played games instead.
All staff at the hotel were very good, the bar staff were great at coming round and offering drinks and the restaurant staff at clearing tables quickly. The food was amazing - lots of options and especially loved the range of desserts. We absolutely loved the coffee shop being included in the all inclusive, it was so nice to have proper coffees during the stay. A nice range of soft drinks in all inclusive, enjoyed the mocktails and smoothies. As none drinkers the alcohol limit made no difference to us - but worth knowing if you do want alcohol that it's only 3 with meals included (think this could be a Palma rule).
We chose the hotel just due to it being close to the airport and a beach, but we would 100% stay at an Iberostar hotel again. We have not spotted listening to the mini disco star camp songs since getting home!
We had a family room and were pleased with the space we had, the house keeping team were great and was a lovely addition to get an app notification when your room had been cleaned. The water coolers on each floor are a great idea, we always carry thermal bottles with us so it was nice to be able to easily top these up with cold water,
Thank you to everyone at the hotel.

Total Eclipse Experience tarnished by padel deposit charge
We stayed at this hotel in the summer of 2025 and when we saw that the total eclipse was visible from Palma Beach in 2026 we booked again.
We had a lovely time, staff were friendly, breakfasts were fabulous, rooms were spotless and the location (near the beach and a short drive from the airport) suited us.
The blemish was that we were charged for a deposit for padel (correctly) but it was not returned. I only discovered this when scrutinising my credit card bill on my return home. I thought that it would be resolved easily but despite contacting the hotel three times by email and with evidence of the charge, they refused to return my funds saying that they had no record of the charge. I found this very disappointing given the size of the chain of hotels and the fact that we had spent a lot of money over two holidays.
We will not use them again and I would recommend thoroughly checking your bills before leaving the resort.
It left a bad taste following such a lovely couple of holidays.
