Chose this hotel based on it being all inclusive as we were looking for a last minute uncomplicated "quiet" girls getaway from New York for a few days We choose the perfect place. Direct flight from JFK, 20 minute ride from airport (hotel does not provide transportation, $38 air conditioned cab ride) and easy check in. Hotel guests mostly couples... More

I stayed at the Grand Bavaro from May 13 to May 20, 2013. This decision was made after careful reviews on multiple sites about this hotel. This place will not dissappoint. This was the most amazing vacation that I have had in my life. Everyone and I mean everyone was wonderful to be around. Arismendy 'Mendy,' our butler, was nothing... More

This is a return visit for us to the Iberostar Grand Bavaro after only 18 months. We are seasoned and experienced travelers, having visited luxury, all-inclusive, adults only resorts like Secrets, Excellence, Sandals, Palace, Iberostar, and others over the past 15 years. Many times, a return visit to a particular resort is not as rewarding as the first time. That... More

This hotel has a wonderful location, good people, and great accomodations. Their one weakness is their poor room service. As a 5 Star Hotel there room service rated "no" star. Unfortunately, it was so bad it was as if they did not want you to order it. A property is only as good as its weakest link. I rely on... More

We vacationed May 4- May 11, 2013. We previously vacationed at the Grand Bavaro in Mexico (2012) and in Jamaica (2010) so we were curious if the Punta Cana Grand Bavaro was equivalent. We found that this resort was as nice as the other two Grand Bavaro's. We were able to email reservations for the restaurants for the first four... More

Food was excellent and not to forget the Drinks..24hr. Service..at your request they will do anything for you..Beaches are great...white sand and clear blue water. My... More

We had 22 people in our party and we had a great time at the resort. The staff are by far the best we have encountered in any retreat. They were amazing. The food is good; however, getting reservations is extremely complicated and very hard to acquire. We tried setting up reservations for every night we were there in advance... More

Rooms were complete luxury with a butler at your service to ensure you had everything to make your vacation perfect. Entire property including beach was very clean. Staff always happy and ready to assist you. Shows were great! The reasons I could not rate this resort excellent were 1) room service was slow and food cold 2) very hard to... More

Can't really add to the positives expressed in the many glowing reviews, but I failed to rate this a "5" because it's just not my kind of resort. This is my second "President's Club" as a reward for work in the last 3 years (slacked off in 2011, what can I say), and my second all inclusive stay in an... More
