Amazing hotel. Usually I stay at Manchebo beach but this time, I stayed at Joia! Wow, great great amenities. The pools, bar service, the views, the beach, the free sunscreen they have at the beach, towel service, great great food quality!! The food was great, nice variations, great options, and everything was too-notch! The room was huge. Comfortable beds. Loved the jacuzzi in the balcony. Loved that I asked the DJ to play songs and we danced by the pool. The hospitality service is welcoming and superb. I will def go back again! Breakfast buffet is great. Mary Rose was our host and she was super nice. The coffee tastes good. We tried the Italian restaurant too. We tried the food at the pool at night. Great option if you want to eat light. I never had to leave the hotel tbh!

The cleaning of the room was perfect on day 1. After that, it dropped off and we had to call for cleaning services regularly. We even had one night that we had a hard time getting anyone to bring us towels since the room wasn't cleaned that day. Overall, the stay was great. I would stay here again. I now know the steps to take to ensure things are done. Having a rental car is great. The resort has a valet that will bring you your car and park it at no charge (tipping appreciated). The cost of drinks is extremely high at the resort. $10 for a beer that costs <$2 at the store. Buy them at the Super Food and bring them from your room. The service at the beach is lacking. Don't expect fast service down there. If you have a butler, use them instead. Otherwise, you're going to have to deal with slow waits, cold food, and warm drinks. On occasion it is faster. That is more rare.

The hotel is pretty new. From room to amenities in the resort, everything is great! For parents with kids, they charge extra for kid stay ( my son only 3 years old) which I don’t see it often at other resorts. And you’ll be charged with service fee besides tax and room price at the beginning ( I didn’t realize it until I went to Hyatt afterwards while comparing the invoices in Expedia app). Overall, the experience was amazing but a little bit pricey given it’s not an all inclusive service.

Not bad, but definitely not 5 star. There are much better choices for the price. Pros: 1 new hotel, very clean. Beautiful lobby and comfortable rooms. 2 location. Hotel is on eagle beach, although it’s not actually on the beach (see cons). Cons: 1 Dining experience was bad. Food and drinks were priced similar to top hotels but quality was much lower. Choices/selection is limited and poor. 2 location- it’s across the street from the beach. And it’s a bit of a walk from the rooms. There are many other hotels that are directly on the water and this creates a much better more relaxed feel and better ambience, where you can walk from your room right onto the beach. Iberostar also has no beach restaurant/bar, and no beach cabanas. Generally the layout of the hotel exacerbates this and creates an impersonal and stark feel. 3 service. Service is often slow…meanwhile it’s not uncommon to see the staff all hanging out together. 4 hours: pool closes ant 600 pm. Ridiculously early, especially since this is right after the wind tends to die down on Aruba. Worse: they take away the beach chairs before sunset: so if you want to watch sunset, you’ll be doing it from the sand. I would not stay at iberostar again unless it was part of a super cheap package…and honestly it’s a joke to call this place a 5 star hotel.

It's a new hotel and the rooms were clean and the maids were very polite, Overpriced!! Hotel drinks very expensive restaurants we're not that good only two restaurants available! The best part was Eagle Beach There's nothing around the hotel it's very secluded it's a very boring Hotel! For a five-star hotel the Texi service representing the hotel was very rude big issue when wanted to go to Palm Beach!! Try to contact management three days ago and no response!! I will never go back to this hotel!!
