What a fantastic time!
We stayed at the Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun (Adults Only) from Sept 6th to Sept 13th.
The total property, including the family side is well laid out and offer a wide stretch of beach. The staff do a great job to keep this hotel clean and the customer service was amazing!
Our Oceanfront Junior Suite was fresh and spacious. Housekeeping cleaned the room and replenished towels and fridge daily.
The food quality was overall excellent. While we were impressed with the buffet and the American Bistro, the hibachi experience at the Asian restaurant was okay but not great.
The entertainment crew did an excellent job keeping us engaged with plenty of friendly games and competions at the beach and in the pool.
The beach was beautiful, and available loungers easy to find. Much effort was made daily to keep serragasum under control but that's anywhere a losing battle…
The one pool on the adult side was never very busy and had a great vibe. Servers at the pool bar and around the pool were specially attentive.
Overall I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel, we absolutely loved it!
SO MUCH FUN
What a beautiful hotel, delicious food, and great service. Upon arrival, Maria, the concierge, welcomed us; she was warm and respectful, explained everything, and gave us plenty of tips to make our vacation even more enjoyable.
Review by MARGARETT C Canada
Iberostar Selection Cancun, June 2026
We took this trip in June of this year so apologies for the late review.
The location is in the heart of the hotel zone, which has its pros and cons. We wanted to do something different this year and stay in town. It was nice to be able to venture out if we wanted to. We really only did that once- we went to the kiosks close by and shopped, and it was nice to be able to get there on the bus for a couple dollars/pp. There is high-end shopping available in that area as well.
The hotel is very nice if a little dated. But I expected that going in knowing the age of the hotel and that it's located in the HZ. And that's the case with most properties there. But again, it's very nice, from the decor to the furniture and everything else. And very clean. I don't remember even seeing stray coffee cups/bar glasses left sitting while we were there. They have employees working around the clock to keep things in order.
Rooms were good, not great. We had a premium ocean view room with a balcony. The views were amazing. But the rooms could use an update. Still, the furniture was new and the bed was perfect. To me those things are more important than a fresh coat of paint, especially in Cancun.
The pools were awesome. I don't remember ever having an issue getting a decent spot for the four of us, and we're not those people that run down at the break of dawn to claim chairs. The main pool bar is going to take you a minute to get drinks, so my recommendation is going around the corner to the bar closest to the beach. Stars of the pool were Gabriel (the MVP!) and Ruben. The main pool (opposite side of the infinity) always had something fun going on, whether it was a workout session or a volleyball game.
Food experience was one of the better ones I've had at an AI resort. The steak house (La Parilla) was amazing, and we also really enjoyed the beach side restaurant (not sure of the name) and La Horma (Italian). We loved everything we had from the 24 hour coffee shop in the lobby as well. But if I had to pic my favorite place to eat, believe it or not it was the taco stand close to the pool. So great. And the creamy green salsa was addictive (and extremely spicy in the best way). They also had a burger stand by the pool that was pretty good (and super convenient).
The service was great. Housekeeping was always on point and seemed to know when we were away regardless of how inconsistent we were. Servers at the breakfast buffet, La Horma, and the lobby bar were amazing.
The hotel has a golf course across the street that my son and I really enjoyed. I didn't get his name but the gentleman outside renting clubs/carts was great. We didn't get to see any of the crocs they warned us about, but there was plenty of wildlife (lizards of all sizes/colors).
Entertainment in the theater was fun. I'm a Gen X'r so I thoroughly enjoyed 80s live night. And we were lucky enough to visit during the World Cup so we got to watch the matches there as well.
I think that about covers it. There were people offering beach activities but with zero pushiness. Same goes for the time share folks.
Definitely recommend Iberostar Selection Cancun. I would absolutely like to visit again sometime.
