Iberostar Bavaro

Upon arriving we were welcomed by the staff in an extremely friendly manner. We arrived earlier than check in and wanted to do an excursion while we waited. The staff directed us to a representative and secured our luggage until we returned. The food was out of this world amd the buffet had an amazing selection. Our room was spotless and at the perfect temperature. Any questions we had were answered right away, and all of our needs were taken care of in a very expedient manner. Would absolutely recommend this resort and will he visiting again when we have the opportunity.

Nothing at all

3rd time here and I love it.

Little old school can use a revamp

Villa room size is very big with a beautiful layout that allows the sun to wake you up in your excessively big, very comfortable bed. Restaurant dinners were nice and service was Tom notch. Three honourable mentions here : Jose Espinal our concierge was extremely friendly and looked after us that we have all the activities we need and all evening dinners booked; he just made the whole stay wonderful. Two other staff that impressed us with both their English and good conversations and friendship are Alex and Santo at the Pool Bar. Amazing people with good banter and good secret recipe cocktail recipes - for the whole duration of our stay we always ended the days at the pool bar because of this, before retreating to our rooms to get ready for dinner. If you want a cocktail you never tried before ask Alex for the Alex special.

We had a bad start of our stay when we were stopped at the gate by the security as we drive to the resort and kept there for more or less 5 minutes for checks phone calls to reception etc, even though I showed the security guard my booking.com reservation on my phone - it felt more like a maximum security prison than a 5 star resort. This was raised with customer relations and handled very professionally and am happy how swiftly they tried to make things right.
