We returned to Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun because we truly enjoyed our one-week stay two years ago; however, this visit may be our last. Despite booking six months in advance and requesting a king bed for our anniversary, we were initially assigned a double queen room and asked to pay extra for a king bed on a higher floor. We spent the first night in a king room on the first floor above the lobby, which was noisy and poorly maintained. The shower faucet was covered in rust, and there was noticeable nighttime noise, possibly from nearby guests or operations below. We then paid to upgrade to a corner room the rest of our stay, which offered a beautiful view, but maintenance issues persisted. Both curtains had fallen off the track and could not fully close, and the coffee machine was leaking water. In addition, service at the à la carte restaurant in the adults-only building was very slow—we waited about 15 minutes before anyone took our drink order, not even offering a glass of water. As a result, we avoided the à la carte restaurant for the rest of our stay and only dined there on buffet nights. Overall, this experience did not meet the standard of our previous visit.

Upon arrival, we had two people walk into our room without knocking. We did check in just a little bit early, but we figured it would be communicated. A few days later, they came to drop towels off and we didn’t hear the door knocking and they proceeded to also walk in. Other than those experiences, the room was great. It was very modern and spacious. The bathroom door doesn’t finish all the way to the ceiling and close all the way. It did not feel private at all. The pool areas also don’t have a Jacuzzi, which was a negative since the days weren’t too hot and the pool water was very cold. The entertainment of the evening was great every night. The food at the restaurants was just OK. We preferred the buffet since there was more option. The other thing we don’t like is the pressure of trying to buy whatever program they’re trying to sell. The other thing to note would be that our original reservation was at the other hotel which would’ve had our room facing south and would’ve made our pool area maybe a little bit warmer.
