Pack your suits, grab the kids and head for Iberostar Punta Cana on Bavaro Beach! Playa Bavaro is one of the best beaches in the Dominican Republic, with sand so white you'll need sunglasses. Sheltered by a large coral reef, the wide beach has waves gentle enough for the smallest swimmers and is a hit with families. Warm hospitality, seven all inclusive dining options and non-stop activities for adults and kids give you the freedom to enjoy your vacation on your terms.

First of all it was great!! Lets start with we are easy to please,,i was a little scared reading reviews, but once there i realized that if you think your more worthy than almost perfect, than pay for PERFECT! Beautiful, clean, food was good ,,,I will not lie it wasn't the best we've ever had ,but then again we do not go some where for the food..There was plenty to choose from and we never went hungry.. Henry at the buffet was great,,and also all the young men at the pool where awesome. The only thing that i can think of is there was not a lot for teenagers to do , but we told our kids they where not there to stay busy,,,its called a vacation! They made their own fun and also had a great time,,,Thank you to Iberostar it was great and we would love to go back,,,also weather was perfect,,no complaints from us in VERMONT...Then again why complain its a vacation !!! Shows where ok but disco was a blast...DRINKS are not watered down at all,,,more games at pool would be fun but all in all it was amazing !! Please say hello to EDWIN at the pool ,,,Great kid !!
My family and I traveled from 03/30/12 -04/04/12 .. the grounds are absolutely beautiful and clean. The staff were all very friendly always greeted you with a "Hola".. I Loved the entertainment group always so much fun. The disco and theater show were also great. The food was average after a while it gets boring,but I did enjoy fresh fruit and desserts. One thing is for sure you will never go hungry. They have multiple buffets that are shared with Iberostar Dominican you can eat at any and use there premises also. I did NOT like the drinks , it seemed like i could not get a buzz . They were very watered down. Everything you might need is withing the hotel they have many souvenir shops but they are very expensive $$$. Bring sunblock other wise you will end up paying $15 to $30 American dollars. No need to exchange money since USD $$ is widely accepted every where. Carrying singles is also a great idea since they can be used for tipping, in which for the staff there would highly appreciate it. A 10 $$ fee will be charged at the entrance of the Punta Cana airport so just be prepared for that . Other then that I had an amazing time in this beautiful place.
The staff was excellent. We had a problem with the television. Called reception desk and person was there immediately. Grounds were beatiful and well maintained. The food was good. The beach is beautiful and there are no vendors trying to sell things. An overall good experience.
The hotel grounds were beautiful.
The staff were amazingly friendly.
As vegetarians, the food wasnt our favorite part but we were still able to find things to eat.
The beach and pool were extremely crowded, with lots of people getting up early and reserving huge lots of chairs by putting towels down.

What We'd Change
Like most all inclusive resorts, there's a strict reservation policy for the A la carte restaurants. Still, the steaks at La Cana are worth the trouble!

The Iberostar Punta Cana is a great Dominican Republic spot to soak up the sunshine as a family. With seven dining options, a casino and a spa, there's plenty of choices!

Hotel Description
Iberostar Punta Cana: Family-Friendly Iberostar Luxury on Playa Bavaro
Pack your suits, grab the kids and head for Iberostar Punta Cana on Bavaro Beach! Playa Bavaro is one of the best beaches in the Dominican Republic, with sand so white you'll need sunglasses. Sheltered by a large coral reef, the wide beach has waves gentle enough for the smallest swimmers and is a hit with families. Warm hospitality, seven all inclusive dining options and non-stop activities for adults and kids give you the freedom to enjoy your vacation on your terms.
Start with a stroll on the five-mile beach, then pick a hammock while the kids dive for shells. Or, hang out around the large free-form pool and make new friends from around the world. When a hankering for a juicy steak strikes, we recommend La Cana Steakhouse. But if kids love the classic burgers and fries, they'll love Star Rock Cafe. Couples looking to cut a rug head to DC-6 Disco and shake it to DJ beats. Still working on your moves? Try your luck on the slots at the casino--being in paradise beats a rabbit's foot!
Ready for more action? Take a spin at a watersport or two; after all, fun is the official Punta Cana activity at Iberostar. The major playground is Bavaro Beach where you can challenge the kids to a kayak race, try windsurfing or take a cruise on a sailboat. There's a mangrove jungle walk with a mini-zoo for curious kids, or if you want to check out the P.B. Dye-designed 18-hole Iberostar Bavaro golf course, drop the kids at Lucy's Club. Supervised and fun-packed, the club lets kids build sandcastles and battle it out over bingo while you tee off.
As the day winds down, stop at full-service Spa Sensations for a Shiatsu massage and head to bed totally de-stressed. The Standard Room fits the bill for couples and families. Grab a bottle of beer from the mini bar and watch the stars from the balcony or terrace as you mellow out before yet another day in paradise.
