Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites - All Inclusive

We stayed here from 4/29/23 through 5/6. We really enjoyed each restaurant experience, and our concierge Fernando (who was very helpful throughout our stay) was able to set up all of our dinner reservations the morning of our second day. The resort is very nice, clean, meticulously maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The beach is amazing, as well as the pool. We also used the fitness facility which was small but well equipped. Definitely recommend staying here.

What works for this resort is, hands down, it's staff. All are incredibly helpful and present; they want to help you have the best time on your holiday and will go above and beyond to make that happen. The hotel is located on one of the best beaches I have ever been on: white, fine, gorgeous sand that is tended to everyday. I noted on my morning beach walks that neighboring resorts don't do as thorough a job cleaning the seaweed off their patch of sand; Iberostar Selection Bavaro does this and more. The gym is amazing: clean, modern and filled with all the up-to-date equipment you never seem to be able to find at any hotel. Classes are offered to one and all, and are good fun (particularly the Zumba class). The tennis courts are in good shape too. Where the property slightly let's itself down is on the quality of food. It seems to be an almost Herculean task to maintain the quality given the number of people being fed. Some food was flavorless, too oily, etc. Having said that, there was plentiful fruit on offer and freshly made food, ie omelettes, etc offered if you want to avoid the fried food offering. Plates seemed to be an issue...sometimes there are plenty and other times quite a few people seemed to be waiting for plates to be brought out to the buffet. We dined at the Italian one evening: the steak was very good, but the cold roasted potato slices detracted from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Overall, recommend this resort. The staff make it special.

Large property. Lots of choices for dining. Many activities. Staff is very pleasant.

Very clean. Food decent but not spectacular. Room very clean and large. Love the glass water bottles for sustainability. Very minimal people coming up to try to sell you something. Don’t know if resort wasn’t full but never seemed crowded. (Spring break time.) Short walking distances to everything. Wi-Fi worked great in all areas except not as fast at beach. Casino was fun and all penny or nickel slots. Table games with live dealers too. Japanese restaurant the best. I would choose buffet over all the rest. Pedro at pool bar was awesome!!

This was our 3rd time back at the iberostar Bavaro suites. We love the food, the set up next to the beach and the staff. In my opinion you get a lot for your money at this resort. All of the restaurants that we went to had delicious food options and we were very happy. Please keep in mind that the clientele is international so there are things you may not typically have in the United states but there are many options. Italian and the steak house are the restaurants that they gave us reservations to. Mexican and French were open to all and we could not get into Japanese. The beach is gorgeous and we had no problems setting up under a hut every day. Vino was great, he brought drinks directly to us on the beach every day! We did not set up at the pool. However, I did noticed that the chairs were all full each day. Cons: Yes, as wonderful as this resort is, there are some things that may be a deal breaker for some. The most annoying thing in my opinion is that they make you sit down with a “concierge” to book all of your dinner reservations. Out of 6 nights we were only given reservations for Italian and steak house. Concierge will try to upsell and if you don’t want it you don’t get your dinner reservations. Room was clean and comfortable but probably in need of a renovation. We spend most of time on resort so we were not picky. Spa- we loved upgrading and using the sauna/steam and cold plunge daily. Gym= beautiful and new. Entertainment = not good but something to do.

Excelente estadia en familia. Nuestra hija de 3 años realmente lo disfrutó al igual que nosotros. Puntos a mejorar, los azulejos de la piscina de los niños se están saliendo por lo que requiere mantención. Mas entretenimiento durante el día. No vi actividades en el sector de la playa.

Grounds were beautiful! Very walkable area with everything only a few minutes away. The beach was just beyond the pool in close proximity. Very comfortable rooms but the air conditioner could have been better! Staff was super friendly and helpful!

The workers on the scooters were travelling to fast on the walking paths. A lot of pathways were dimly lit up. At the shows there was very little lighting on the performers, they we performing almost in the dark.

The beachfront is massive. Lots of room with plenty of palapas. They made an effort to clean up the sargassum but this year it is apparent it is impossible to keep the beach clean. Buffet food has improved over previous years to the property. Wristbands with keys made room access a breeze, never lose a key. This is a great hotel for families. Stay at the Bavaro and you have access to the Punta Cana and the Dominicana. Grounds are immense and beautiful. Don't like the upsell. We keep coming back here and don't bother to go elsewhere. Ocean is easily accessible.

we have quite some mixed feelings about stay there. Pros: staffs are overall friendly. beach is great. buffet is above average. 24-hour coffee store is a plus (when room service becomes unavailable after 11:00pm). Also for us it is safe to walk around in the hotel area. Cons: toilet flushing system is really really really poor, lacking pressure to flush down properly. Imagine when it's not cleaned, and you need to wait for an hour so that there's enough water and then you try flushing again, but still impossible to .... (it is really a nightmare) Room smells like mould, everything feels moist. There's no bottled water provided - we are given two bottles (seem filthy so we did not use it) to get water from a "station". To be honest it is a little ridiculous. Some restaurants are good but reservation can be difficult, and options on menu are quite limited.

Beautiful kept hotel and grounds. In some areas the staff let it down. Although the rooms were cleaned daily sometimes they were not properly cleaned.

The property is beautiful. The food and service was excellent. The only thing that was awful was that all the pillows smelled like head sweat horribly. We had to ask for them to be changed. We have never experienced this problem.

O hotel é lindo e os funcionários são extremamente solicitos. Único ponto negativo, tinha uma barata no quarto logo que chegamos e não ofereceram mudança de quarto, apenas mataram a barata e passaram veneno. O resto foi realmente muito bom.

Grounds are well keep and cleanliness. The A/C does not cool the room and I have talked to a few people in the resort who said the same thing. Sheets had a blood spot on them and I asked for clean sheets and they never sent someone until the next day.

We enjoyed our stay. The beach is beautiful and they take great care of the property. The staff was excellent. We loved all the places to grab food and drinks and loved the ice cream shop need the pool. The only issue I had was the cleanliness of the room. When we checked in, the bathroom was not very clean and the bed sheets had stains. It was eventually fixed but was a little frustrating. A wonderful vacation!

The hotel has BED BUGS!!! I complained to Management and they finally moved my room. The second room also had bed bugs. My two friends were bitten, however, I slept on the sofa because I was afraid that I would be bitten again. I would NEVER stay here again. They didn’t even bother to compensate me for the trouble. I have bites all over my body. My birthday weekend at this resort was TERRIBLE

Really dirty rooms

Staff was more than helpful and kind. Conditions in room had bed bugs. Thought it was just sand in the bed, but blood marks all over and blisters from bites all over us.

Staff and food was amazing! Clean too!

Staff was not focused on cleanliness and hygiene in and around the dining areas.

Liked: -Beach is excellent, clear water, clean sand, beach gear, and bars for drinks and snacks. -Cafe. -Room service. -kids enjoyed the pools. -Room location, layout and its size. Disliked: Very limited lights in the room. Only 2 wall outlets and were not functioning. AC unit is very old and super noisy, specially at night Beds were not comfortable. Restaurants are always booked, we were not able to make any reservations, so food option for us was very limited to buffet (not too many options either) and two other restaurants were were not interested. Likely, food wasn't a big deal for us and we still enjoyed our time. Overall we would stay at the same hotel again.

I liked our maid. She was very through. and kept our romm very clean. The bad part was where our room was. on the border of another resort, which is where they played the entertainment for that resort. It was very loud late at night. The other was the Italian and Mexican where below average when it came to selection and Quality. The concierges were very pushy, which was not appreciated not a place I would recommend

I sent a message a few days ago already. Our rooms air conditioning and our parents room air conditioning was only working at half capacity. We advised the front desk and they did nothing. It was very uncomfortable the whole trip as it was immensely hot and humid. As we both our fridges were at had capacity. The drinks were room temperature. The bathroom had a terrible smell from the drain in the shower. The food was great and the beach was wonderful. The service was okay. We were just disappointed with the air conditioning and fridges in both our rooms. And the terrible smell in only our room. Besides that the trip was good.

Rooms need a bit of updating but otherwise our stay was great, staff is trained well to take care of guests; the food variety and quality is very good, especially the restaurants for dinner. I like that this resort has umbrellas on the beach as not all resorts do.

Olá. Nos dois primeiros dias e noites, o ar condicionado não funcionou e só voltou a funcionar no 3º dia a tarde. A comida é no máximo razoável, em alguns pouquíssimos momentos ultrapassando esta marca. Teve um dia que só consegui comer carne, por que o meu filho cedeu um pedaço de bife. O ar condicionado falhou também, pasmem, na última noite em que sairíamos no outro dia cedinho. Tivemos que abrir a porta da sacada e a janela de madrugada, pois o calor de fora estava mais fresco do que o calor dentro do quarto. O atendimento no geral não gostei muito, você fala com algum funcionário(a) e simplesmente eles viram a cara e saem de perto. Muito estranho. E em geral não tem a cara alegre. Em alguns restaurantes com reserva, a comida excede a quantidade desejada e em outros quase fica aquém. A praia tem muito sargaço e tem dia que eles recolhem, mas tem dias que não, tornando o acesso ao mar um desafio. Eles tem muitos carrinhos elétricos, mas eles circulam meio rápido demais entre os hóspedes que caminham pelos acessos. Acho que não pretendo repetir a experiência.

We loved the suites and the infrastructure of the hotel which is really beatifull. The restaurants are good, but the reservation wasnt working on the app, so we needed to go to an office to make the reservations. We had a room near to the main pool that was a little noisy for us (it doesnt go late into the night which is good), but lowering the volume a little would make the whole experience better. Overall, a very good experience, the birds are beautifull, the beach is amazing. On the other hand, the staff is not always polite or helpful (they almost look annoyed). When we had an issue with our room door not opening, the golf cart driver left us without waiting as requested, leaving us stuck with our 1 year old baby far from the lobby. At some bars, staff hide to avoid taking orders, and you have to insist to be served.

We loved the beach accessibility from the beachfront suites. If there was one complaint it would be that the air conditioning seemed to get weaker as the week went on. Nobody ever came to fix it.

we have quite some mixed feelings about stay there. Pros: staffs are overall friendly. beach is great. buffet is above average. 24-hour coffee store is a plus (when room service becomes unavailable after 11:00pm). Also for us it is safe to walk around in the hotel area. Cons: toilet flushing system is really really really poor, lacking pressure to flush down properly.

Probably this is was my worst stay. We checked in at 4pm. When we came to our room - it wasn't ready and we had to wait for 30 minutes. We ordered a room with two beds (for me and my son) but instead we got a room with only one bed. The next day power on our room totally went out. Repair men were spent a whole day trying to fix this major problem. When they finally fixed a power we found out that Air Conditioner is NOT working. So. Half of the NEXT day repair men were trying to fix an air conditioner without any success, so we called to desk and requested a room change. They agreed to our request and asked us to be ready for pick up and transfer to a new room. We waited for 4!!! hours in a room, waiting for a transfer... Finally we got transferred to a new room, which had no problem, except one - staff mostly "forgot" to clean our room on a daily basis. How could all this happened? Iberostar Bavaro is a premium hotel. I was expecting at least a normal service, which we didn't receive at all. Very sad. Also. Please add more chairs near a pool. They were all occupied before 9:am. Our family was a loyal to your hotels in Dominican and Mexico (at least 15 stays in the last 15 years), but now we will think twice before we decided to go into any of your hotels again.

Things I did not like, rooms need to be updated, needs more maintenance, our room had a strong smell of sewage coming from the shower drain, it was horrible, there was a smell of sewage in the nearby area too. For the price paid I would have expected more! There was a lot of repetition on the food served. Although transportation was provided within the complex for people staying on the resort to and from their rooms, sometimes drivers will pass you late at night and not even offer a drive to your room, also they need to use caution when driving people, personally they drive too fast and can cause an accident specially when there are children around.

The whole property runs on an app. They don’t have any physical maps or anything. It was very frustrating to have to be on your phone all day to navigate. Additionally, we needed some thing from client services (toothbrush, robes, towels) little things but important. And we completed the in app request and nothing happened. We chatted with guest services through the app 3 times and still didn’t receive the items and complained once in the app because we didn’t get them and because of that it prompted a phone call and we explained we were just looking for some towels (literally only had 2 and no hand towels at all) and toothbrush, robes. And they said no problem we will send them now. And they never came. It became comical, thankfully it wasn’t something critical. We gave up after that. We never did receive the items. Other then that the staff were very nice , alothough a large percentage of them did not speak English and communication was quite hard.

It was very clean the staff was very friendly we had a concierge who was very helpful and treated us like family , his name is Fernando he booked our dinners and he make sure that we’re confortable.

Unhappy workers, impolite “hola” when they walk by you. A slow service when you check in.

The resort was large and very well maintained. We enjoyed the food and beverage. Grey in Guest Services and Mayelin at the pool bar were so wonderful. They really know what hospitality and service are and made our stay great.

Os garçons não eram pró-ativos no atendimento. Tinha que implorar pra trazer algo. Os garçons ate eram mais simpáticos, mas as garçonetes eram bem antipaticas.

We had two exceptional servers at Ibero and literally all other staff members were dry or didn’t speak at all to us. The staff seemed to always be depressed. Also, our group emailed ahead of time to setup reservations and we were completely ignored. Then at the resort we weren’t able to have dinner together as group which really ruined dinner for our group.

The service was extremely amazing, frontdesk guys were super helpful. Concierge Jairon explained how everything worked and even booked us dinner reservations for every night we were there. The entertainer guys Shagy and Pikachu became our bestfriends. Leidy at the bar was amazing. Overall this place and all the staff are expectacular. The Italian Restaurant to die for and whatever you do don't miss the morning buffet, all types of fresh bread and croissants, they make your omelets with whatever you want this breakfast buffet is a most. Will definitely come back

DO NOT use the casino. My son was given counterfit money after winning. He took that to the Hard Rock the next night and was nearly arrested when trying to use it on the Black Jack table. The resort is decent and they did a nice job decorating for Christmas. Our housekeeper was excellent. The other staff is not as friendly as they could be. Darlyn in check out was great and moved us thru very quickly and gave us an upgrade we wanted. The food is just ok but the French Restaraunt was awful. My husband got rancid meat and got sick. A group of 9 of us and all food was quite awful there. Leonardo the concierge comes across very friendly at arrival but once he realized we were not going to do a timeshare presentation he was no longer accomodating whatsoever when trying to make reservations etc. Not a great place for young adults. No entertainment for them in the evenings. We hoped for a beach party, Foam party, White party, anything! Nothing was provided for them to do so they went to that casino and were basically robbed. Geraldo at the beach was extremely friendly and the beach bar servers were also great. Probably would not go back here but would choose the Hard Rock for the young adults in our group.

Probably this is was my worst stay. We checked in at 4pm. When we came to our room - it wasn't ready and we had to wait for 30 minutes.

The facilities are very safe to walk and you feel a calm and pleasant environment. The staff is very friendly and always ready to help. The restaurants are very good, they are always full and I think they could handle the reservation scheme better because it is not very flexible. It is a very good idea that the room key is on the bracelet that they give you at check-in. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and they were always clean.

Very nice resort. Room was simple but pretty clean and comfortable beds. You cannot drink the tap water but you are provided with glass bottles to refill at the many filtered water stations dispersed across the property. The pool and beach were awesome, and the food at the main buffet was great. Overall we had an excellent time and we would go back to this resort again!

It is a beautiful resort. Beach and pool areas are gorgeous. Suite was comfortable with an ocean view balcony. Bathrooms with walk/in showers. All inclusive meant all inclusive. Food is plentiful but taste could be improved upon. Service was consistent and solid. Overall Iberostar offers a great experience for the price

Food and stay and enough clear water beach walk.

Awesome staff and really nice beach.

We spent a nice week at this hotel and it was just fantastic. The grounds are green and luscious, very well taken care of. The villas are so close to the beach and the property is easily walkable. We always found many choices to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We do eat pretty healthy though, lots of fruit, vegetables and fish, the kids did find some fast food options too. We chose not to go to the restaurants and just use the buffet. The staff is so friendly, especially our servers Sofia and Yoselin, they made us feel welcomed and taken care of. The pools are clean and just beautiful, the kids spent majority of time there. The beach is just breathtaking, plenty of beach beds to choose from.

Buffet food has improved over previous years to the property. Wristbands with keys made room access a breeze, never lose a key. This is a great hotel for families. Stay at the Bavaro and you have access to the Punta Cana and the Dominicana. Grounds are immense and beautiful. Don't like the upsell. We keep coming back here and don't bother to go elsewhere. Ocean is easily accessible.

Lots of restaurant options with great food nicest beach out of all the resorts we walked past for miles

excellent service , High quality and great variety of food

The food was excellent. We mostly ate at the Los Haitises buffet -- there was enough variety that we didn't feel the need to do the reservations. The fresh juices and sushi were some of our favorites. Nothing special about the burgers and pizza, but it was cool that they made a custom pasta sauce with ingredients of your choosing. Everybody was kind and helpful, and went above and beyond. The beach was beautiful. We would definitely visit again. One thing to improve would be to have designated smoking areas on the beach (or maybe only have smoking for your adult-only resort?). We didn't enjoy when people started smoking near us (probably didn't help that there were people selling cigars on the beach).

The bathroom had bugs and a foul odor The AC was not working as expected. One night I went to the front desk to get help with the AC and the guy there and the one who was going to help me treated me like it was my fault. I felt so bad. The buffet variety was poor The hotel requires upgrades in many areas The Japanese restaurant is like a sauna, with NO AC. At the night show, they turn off the lights at 11:15. Like saying: go to your rooms, it is over. The coffee shop lady was spectacular I would avoid this hotel.

The bad food. Restaurants don't really exist, if you don't have reservations, you can't go. There is never availability. It's a lie. There is no menu. You don't know what you're eating.

Poor entertainment, frustrating dinner reservation experience, food was fair at best

DO NOT use the casino. My son was given counterfit money after winning. He took that to the Hard Rock the next night and was nearly arrested when trying to use it on the Black Jack table.
