All rooms at Iberostar Waves Cozumel offer private balconies with views of the garden or the beach. The property is laid out across lush tropical grounds that house diverse wildlife including flamingos, peacocks, and coatis. Guest rooms include air-conditioning and are arranged in low-rise buildings that blend into the surrounding jungle.

The resort offers gastronomic diversity with specialized restaurants featuring live cooking, including a Steakhouse and a Texmex restaurant. Asian and Mexican à la carte venues provide additional dining choices, while the main buffet serves continental, American, and Mexican dishes with fresh fruits and made-to-order items. A snack bar and kid-friendly buffet options ensure access to food throughout the day, and themed dinner nights rotate the dinner menu.
