Pros: I need to start by saying that I think the price we got for the timing of our stay was luckily very cheap. The main pool in the resort was being renovated and I think this caused the extremely low price. We payed roughly $5000 AUD less than we would have for the same duration on a later date. That being said, the place was amazing, it has plenty of things to do. Lots of restaurants and bars, and all quite reasonably priced. The pools aren’t overly busy, and are very clean. They even have two water slides! We really enjoyed playing tennis and using other facilities here. The service was amazing, everyone was nice and we felt comfortable the whole stay. We payed slightly more for a larger room, and it was huge. They even accommodated our fussy request to move to a room with a better view. Really great service and phenomenal staff.

Cons: If I had to give some negatives or constructive criticism, it would be that the lobby could use some re doing, it doesn’t do the resort justice for how amazing it is when you first walk in (this is a very minor issue). The only other issue was the breakfast not having bacon (again very minor issue). The breakfast was large and had a huge selection of buffet options, but not once was the option bacon, just found it a bit strange. You can however order omelettes with bacon included, so it definitely isn’t a bit deal. This place is great.
4.0 Okay
Pros: The room was OK and overall clean.
Cons: Terrible terrible terrible service! I stayed for 4 nights and no day or night was good! Always something happening. First we got to the hotel, and they didn't want to let us in through the gate to get checked in because we didn't have a room#..hey! Hello? How am I going to give you a room# if I haven't checked in? Then we got to the restaurant and they say we couldn't sit inside because they were closing but we would still receive the same service outside: and we had to wait. For half an hour for someone who would take our order. Every time we went to the restaurant, the service was so slow. We had to wait even like an hour for a small dish of fruit. Did they went to grow the fruit or what? One time that we ordered. Meat, the meat was bad! It even caused us a stomachache. Also, I asked for this room to be next to my family's room and they said when I was going to check in that I never mentioned that before. Also, we went to eat outside, and they were 5 rooms represented in the car, and they didn't want to let us in. Furthermore, one time I ordered an ice cream, and the girl never brought it; when I asked for it, she said she never got clarification on the flavor, but hey if you were confused you didn't ask for clarification either and decided to ignore it. additionally, we went to the pool one afternoon, and the odor was extremely disgusting!!!! This is nowhere near a 5 star service hotel!! Please look for a different one for your stay if you want to get good service!

Pros: Having read about Iratoma before arriving we didn’t know what to expect. The resort itself exceeded expectations - unrestricted a la carte meals (available breakfast, lunch and dinner), good alcoholic drink selection (including cocktails), and comfortable accommodation (we had a bungalow). We particularly enjoyed the modern facilities available in the new reception building (modern bar and amazing pool). Service, in general, is an area for improvement, with the exception of three star servers who were consistently attentive and warm, going above and beyond to cater for our needs - Kellys and Rita at the new pool bar, and Mary at the breakfast buffet. The hotel would greatly benefit from having these ladies train other members of customer facing staff. Only two members of staff (at front desk) spoke English. This was sometimes problematic, but we mostly managed to muddle through with the google translate tool! As mentioned above, having stayed in a number of other all inclusive properties, we were surprised that we were free to use the a la carte restaurants freely. That said, the menus didn’t change which was a little monotonous towards the end of the trip! Note that the restaurants are spread across the sprawling site, meaning that it is a short walk / hotel transport to some of the restaurants. In general, we would strongly recommend this hotel, particularly if you can get a bargain rate!
