  Fantastic Honeymoon

  Amazing service all around! This place is absolutely stunning. My husband, Sergio, and I were super lucky to be gifted our honeymoon here, and from the very start, we were treated so well. The staff don’t just give great customer service — they really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and cared for, almost like friends. As someone who works in management, I was honestly taking mental notes to bring back home! I had a small emergency during our stay, and our Ambassador, Manny, was right there to help. He’s truly exceptional at what he does and genuinely cares about guests. I also want to give a big shoutout to Clara, Noel, Lizbeth, Juan, Angel, Yicaira, and Felicia — you all made our stay unforgettable! My husband and I are already planning to come back next year. Thank you for everything! ❤️

  Kick back and relax

  We have just come back from a week at the Iberostar Selection Suites, we had read some of the recent reviews and it's safe to say we had set our expectations accordingly. We arrived at around 5pm, so the reception was quite quiet, but we were checked in with no hassles, and had it not been for us asking questions, it would have been very quick. The hotel grounds are up there with the nicest we have experienced, the rooms are all part of small two story buildings, with 4 rooms each, their lack of height makes them less imposing than some of the bigger resorts, and gives the sense of being far more open, than even the neighbouring resorts. The room itself was spacious and clean with everything we needed, although the air conditioning unit was quite loud, so if you are a light sleeper that may be an issue. The sunbeds around the pools began to fill up around 9, so if you want a prime spot, be prepared to be up early, there were plenty of beds around, so there was always a spot to lie in though, there is one main pool split into two, with activities on one side and a swim up bar on the other side, there is a pool with some small slides for younger children, and tucked away around the back is a quiet pool. The beach is amazing, when the sea allows it to be!! It really was pot luck, some days we could get up early and go for a long walk in either direction, others the waves and water were coming in as far as the Iberostar sign on the beach. The water was cloudy most of the time, but it was only sand washing up from the sea floor, so there was not much to see. Members of our party have been to other resorts along this stretch of beach, and the sea has never been this cloudy, but it was the same all the way along, the seaweed issues has been bad this year as well, however there was little evidence of this each morning, as the staff were up cleaning it away very early. Food and drink at the resort was very good overall, a couple of the restaurants were shut, so we made a reservation at the sister hotel and ate there one evening, we were able to use all of the facilities at the neighbouring Iberostar Waves complex, so there was plenty to choose from. The buffet had a good selection, and had theme nights, however we only ate at the buffet once, preferring the a la carte options. Service at the hotel was good, the staff were friendly and welcoming, there were some minor miscommunications, but nothing that caused any problems. We were asked by multiple concierges to attend a 'free breakfast at the Coral level' and receive a free spa treatment, but each time we were firm that we were not interested, we know they get a commission based on attendees, and we understand why they do it, but we stood firm with our refusals, so they were not pushy. Our group really enjoyed our stay at the Iberostar, and we did not experience any of the problems that were reported in some of the more recent reviews, if you want somewhere to relax with friends, family or just as a couple, we would recommend it

  Amazing trip in a beautiful resort

  We had a wonderful time at the Iberostar resort in Punta Cana. It is a truly beautiful resort, featuring lush vegetation, a variety of beautiful tropical birds and flowers, a gorgeous beach, and excellent food, drinks, and entertainment. Our room was spacious and clean. I would like to mention our favorite server at the Los Haitises restaurant: Adelise. She always made sure we felt welcome and provided outstanding service. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended for a relaxing and fun vacation!

  Wonderful stay!

  From the moment we entered the resort we were taken excellent care of, from our first connection at the lobby desk with Alex and Eddie, to our concierge Israel, and our wonderful restaurant personnel and drink cabana workers, as well as the gym and spa personnel. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The rooms weren’t as bright as the pictures in the website indicated but non the less were very comfortable, clean and nice. The first floor patio furnishings appeared to be wonderful. The second floor outdoor deck furnishings could be updated, but our upstairs beachside suite’s patio offered an outstanding view! Our only negative was the push for “membership” in a time-share type manner. The restaurants were all very good. We tried the Italian, the Japanese, the buffet, the coffee shop, the Smokehouse, and the Mexican restaurant (which was our personal favorite- we ate there several times and especially enjoyed the waitstaff and bar tenders there. Ours was a wonderful, relaxing vacation with exceptional people to assist us from check in all the way through to check out!

  🌟 An Unforgettable Stay at Iberostar Selection Bávaro Suites 🌟

  First of all, I would like to thank the entire Iberostar team: the servers, the lobby staff, and everyone working at the hotel. Each of them does a remarkable job and contributes to creating such a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere. However, I want to give a very special mention to Manny, our butler. Without him, our vacation would have been just fine. Thanks to him, it became absolutely amazing, almost unreal — like living in a dream. Manny was there for us from morning to night, always attentive, always caring. He texted us every day to check on us, to anticipate our needs, and to make sure everything was perfect. I’ve stayed at many Iberostar resorts, but I have never met anyone who gives so much of himself. Manny truly loves his job and gives 3000% to his guests. His professionalism, kindness, and dedication are exceptional. He is a true gem that the hotel must absolutely keep. Thank you so much Manny, from both Victoria and myself. We will never be able to thank you enough for making these two weeks absolutely unforgettable. We wish you lots of success and happiness for you and your family. I would also like to thank Clara, who served us the best cocktails at the Star Prestige Bar. An incredibly kind woman — sweet, smiling, and always impeccable in her service. Clara made our moments at the bar even more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Clara, we also wish you all the happiness in the world.
