Loyalty points and check-in
Iberostar's resorts are now part of IHG One Rewards, which gives no points on the room rate and no member benefits for rooms booked through online travel sites like trip1. Check-in itself is unchanged: bring the ID that matches the guest name on the booking, and the hotel treats it like any prepaid reservation.
Cancellations and refunds
Each rate shows its cancellation policy before you pay. If you cancel a refundable rate within the window, trip1 refunds you to your original payment method. Refunds are calculated in the fiat amount you paid, so the crypto you receive back reflects the exchange rate at refund time.
