Punta Cana, Dominican Republic Hotel Rooms at the Iberostar

Totally enjoyed our stay. This is a must place for couples (especially honeymooners) to relax and be pampered without any care. The butler service is an exceptional amenity versus having to call or visit the lobby concierge. They are right there at a moments notice and took care of everything from any additional special needs to including restaurant reservations and activities. The restaurants were of exceptional quality, albeit all the main/basic selections were similar across the board, but with different preparations and flavors. Ask for the wine menu that has some very nice selections included. The Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner buffets were sumptous and could easily satisfy most palates. Grill to order seafood and meats made it very nice. We enjoyed visiting the three other properties (including the casino) throughout the whole Iberostar complex that are adjacent to each other along a lengthy and beautiful beachfront. All were brief visits as they appeared to be slightly lesser in surroundings and more crowded with guests with children or young adults. We could not wait to get back and relax at the Grand. Staying at the Grand (gold band) allows guests to move down and utilize the amenities at the other three. Guests there cannot move up. Met lots of new friends and enjoyed the time at the pool/lobby bars. Discussion with fellow travellers at the airport, on departure, clearly makes Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro the best and only choice; and well worth the little extra cost

There are 4 different hotels at 4 different price points on the same property. Two of the hotels (the least expensive two) share a pool and common area. The Bavaro Suites and the Grand both have their own staff, reception, entertainment and pool / beach area. When booking the hotel we thought we booked the Bavaro Grand, but accidentally selected Bavaro Suites (the names are similar). Once on property we quickly upgraded to Bavaro Grand. The food at Bavaro suites was OK, nothing fantastic, nothing awful. Very cruise like food. The food at Bavro Grand was exceptional. Great restaurants and service and worth the price difference. The staff at both locations was friendly and made our trip most enjoyable. The activities and atmosphere at the Grand are amazing. Very Ritz Carleton like and some of the most beautiful hotel grounds I've seen on my many stays. Make sure to use the included water activities and photo shoot (there is a price to purchase the photos you like, but very reasonable). Ask for the pillow menu from your room butler and ask for the top-notch alcohol; they do have it :). Sign up for the free 10 minute massage at 11 am after yoga.

Just got back from a week at this property. We typically do this type of trip once a year and this was one of the nicest. The facility is just the right size - big enough to have all of the expected amenities and small enough that it was not a trek from the beach to the lobby area. The staff were great and put us in Building 4 as requested. The food was better than usual and varied enought that everyone was happy and never bored with the choices. I liked that the entertainment staff was present but never pushy. The shows at night were pretty good and entertaining. We will be back

I previously stayed at the Iberostar in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and my expectations were high for this visit to Punta Cana. All of my expectations were met or exceeded by the entire experience.

The resort was very nice and clean and the beach was beautiful. My only issues was while some staff was very friendly there was other staff that didn't speak English and weren't helpful. I didn't bother me they didn't speak the language it bothered me they didn't point you to someone who did.
