From the moment you check into the five-star Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro, tailor-made luxury seems so natural you'll wonder why you don't live here. A butler acquaints you with your sumptuous suite, and if your pillows don't suit, select others from the pillow menu. When you're a little warm, friendly staff provide cold towels and cocktails. From white-glove service at dinner to turn-down service, this adults-only, all inclusive Dominican Republic resort indulges you 24/7.

Hotel was nice but would not go back
This was a perfect getaway for couple of days, but by day three I was ready to go home. The specialty restaurant food was just average but we did enjoy the breakfast and lunch buffets. The place was DEAD and we were in bed by 8 PM every night cuz there was nothing to do. The pool bar was fun and we met some cool folks. The staff was amazing and extremely friendly. The humidity was ungodly and we sat in the water from 9AM to 5PM everyday. There was strong smell of mold in our room as well as in the halls. I have no desire to return to Punta Cana since there is nothing to see outside the resort and I have many other destinatins on the list to that I would rather spend my hard earned on.

Simply wonderful
This adults only facility is situated on the most beautiful beach ever. Excellent food and drink quality was only surpassed by the service with which they were served. My wife and I are already making plans to return next year.
Our room was relatively large compared to other resorts that we visited, but the 2 person jacuzzi was not as relaxing as it could have been. More like a bathtub with bubbles.
On this trip we added a personal shuttle to-from the airport, which gave us some extra time at the resort and less down time travelling and waiting for others. Thanks, Cheap Caribbean for handling our reservations without any concerns!

Beautiful Property But Needs Better Dining System
My wife and I just returned from a week at the Iberostar Grand and I must say the property is beautiful and the service is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and we were truly impressed by the quality of the staff and the service we received. The breakfast and lunch buffets were terrific, especially the grilled lobster and shrimp.
Our only complaint was about the system in place for the specialty dining options. There are only 4 restaurants (other than the buffet) available for dinner and when trying to get reservations within an hour of checking in we were told that 3 of them were 'sold out' and our only choice for our first night was Japanese. We could, or course, have gone to the buffet but we don't enjoy dinner buffets and would rather enjoy a 'sit-down' meal. We were told the only restaurant available for the next 3 nights was the Italian. BTW - none of the restaurants were full when we ate our meals. There was definitely room in all of them for more guests. We were able to make reservations for the French and Steak restaurants for later in the week and while the food was very good in all the restaurants the hotel has to come up with a better system to accomodate all it's guests.
My husband and I LOVED this HUGE resort. The staff went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our trip was everything we wanted and even more. The rooms were spacious and clean. We even had our OWN personal Butler... How many places do you stay at that has their own PILLOW MENU??.. Lobster at Lunch and Dinner EVERY DAY at the buffet.We had no problems with reservations with the specialty restaurants either.The beaches were clean with plenty of white sand to walk on for miles. Plenty of seating by the pool and at the beach. FREE suntan lotion to use by the pool area. We also had unlimited access to the other 2 Iberostar hotels . Just a had a GRAND TIME! We travel 2 times per year in the Islands and we just LOVED IT!

Yes you can!! The wireless is a little spotty, but the current is compatible. You may need to stand at the front desk to get a strong enough wireless signal to get to the Internet or download books to your Kindle.

Hotel Description
Exquisite Luxury at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro Hotel
From the moment you check into the five-star Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro, tailor-made luxury seems so natural you'll wonder why you don't live here. A butler acquaints you with your sumptuous suite, and if your pillows don't suit, select others from the pillow menu. When you're a little warm, friendly staff provide cold towels and cocktails. From white-glove service at dinner to turn-down service, this adults-only, all inclusive Dominican Republic resort indulges you 24/7.
As you enjoy the uncrowded, pristine beach, take comfort in knowing that security guards ensure the beach remains private; as a result, there's never competition for lounge chairs or palapas. Perhaps you'd prefer a dip in one of the two lake-style pools to cool off. If so, you're not far from an enticing piña colada or dirty monkey at a swim-up bar. A separate activity pool features a music bar that's a replica of a Spanish galleon. There's no better spot to enjoy an intimate, starlit Caribbean night with your sweetheart.
Whether you want a private or couple's massage, the two-story beachfront spa pampers you from start to finish. Choose from shiatsu, Swedish or Thai massages. If you're in the mood for something different, aromatherapy or a chocolate exfoliation could be the answer.
Dinner is always entertaining at Hashira, one of the resort's four themed restaurants. Teppanyaki chefs grill duck and other delicacies right before your eyes at this unforgettable Japanese restaurant. El Galeon specializes in steaks and other themed restaurants include an Italian restaurant and a gourmet option that features cuisine from around the world. Bella Vista, the hotel's buffet option, makes breakfasts special with quail eggs and exotic fruits.
Golf is available at a sister property, Iberostar Bavaro Golf & Club. P. B. Dye designed the challenging course, known for crosswinds and sharp undulations. To get your blood racing even more, try the zip line course. At more than a mile long, this 10-stage course over the rainforest canopy at Taino Mountain is the first zip line in the Dominican Republic.
