Only 20 minutes from the international airport of Punta Cana and located in one of the most emblematic beaches of the eastern region of the Dominican Republic we find the Iberostar Grand Hotel Bávaro. Majestic in its external appearance and in its decoration, it responds to a project devised by the prestigious Mexican architect Fernando Quirarte and inspired by Greco-Roman architecture. Its gardens and varied representation of native species found in a lush central lake, where it hosts a spectacular sailboat reproduced in real size and converted into one of the most original bars in the entire Caribbean, make this hotel a unique place. In addition, staying at our hotels will help take care of the planet thanks to our Wave of Change initiative: throughout 2020, all our rooms are free of single-use plastics, which will be replaced by other materials that are more environmentally friendly. This ambitious initiative will also be extended to the rest of the hotel areas. Together with its luxury facilities, an unbeatable environment, pioneering impulses, an exclusive attention also stands out: customers talk about the unforgettable experience of the stewardship service. Luxury, a service that is completed with a SPA overlooking the Caribbean Sea, careful with the environment, this hotel gathers everything to give its guests a personalized and unique stay.

The grounds are even more spectacular than the pictures indicate. Service is top notch. Food is incredible, especially at restaurants. The water at the beach is calm and warm. The staff here never miss a chance to impress you. Truly a remarkable resort.

My girlfriend and I stayed here from March 14th thru March 19th. We were supposed to stay thru March 21st but due to Covit 19 scare the country and airports shut down. We had to leave early on the 19th. First off, this place is fantastic. The accommodations were first rate, food was for the most part fantastic, The beaches and pools were second to none. We also played the golf course and it was very challenging and well kept. That was the good, here is the bad. 1) Having to leave early, I asked about a refund or future credit for the two days and nights we didn't get but paid for. We were given a name and number to contact: Rosa [-]. The number did not work and after numerous attempt via email we have yet to hear anything from anyone at Iberostar regarding our request. 2) When we were checking in at the airport, I realized I had left a very nice silk sport coat in my room, 7220. I tried to call the resort directly but couldn't get in touch with anyone who could help me. The next day I did get in contact with several people who offered to help me get my sport coat back, Caroline [-] and Greisa [-] . Both asked me to send them a shipping label. FedEx informed me they had to create the label on their end. I've tried to get in contact with both of them since but they have never returned my emails, nor my sport coat. These two items have left me with a very bad opinion of an otherwise great resort. Just wish the mgmt was as great as the facilities.

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing our hotel for you vacations and for taking the time to share your comments regarding your stay at our hotel. Our aim is always to offer outstanding vacations to our valued guests so, it is our pleasure to learn that our accommodations were top rated as well as our premises and gastronomic offer. It makes us really happy that we exceeded your expectations on those areas. Nevertheless, we are saddened that you had some hiccups in regards to your stay due to the Covid-19 situation which made you leave the property earlier than planned. Despite our hotel was closed one day after your departure, attending to the local government’s call, we tried to put you in contact with you tour representative who was supposed to deal with the refund as your booking was through a Travel Agency and not directly with the hotel. All in all, once the hotel opens back, we will get in touch with you and follow up with your case. Please accept our apologies for the troubles and the lack of attention we were forced to offer, rest assured that this is by far not the way we deal with cases like this. We do hope that you can understand and can give us the opportunity to return our operations and assist you as you deserve. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us. Best wishes to you. Quality Manager Iberostar Grand Bavaro.

I'm sorry it took me so long to post this review - but I've been singing the praises of the Iberostar Grand Bavaro since my trip. The facilities were wonderful - I ate at all the restaurants and explored pretty much every inch of the grounds. So much more peaceful than the family-oriented Iberostar on the adjacent grounds. I didn't golf so I can't comment on that - I mostly hung out at the pool and on the beach, with my day being centered around the 4pm bingo at the swim-up pool bar...rough life :) I traveled alone and fellow travelers were really fun - I was never at a loss for company when I wanted it, and had plenty of free time alone (which was my primary goal). The staff are the real highlight here: butlers Daniel, Alby, and Luis; bartenders Maryelix and Tobias; beach staff Robert, Jose, Luis, Kerlin, Vincente and Henry; entertainment staff Ariela (fantastic!), Yocari-B, and Hot Chocolate, and other staff including Nelson, Hector in room service, Exelente, Wilnet (bellhop), all the waitstaff especially the French restaurant, and all the cleaners in the rooms, pool area, and public bathrooms. I don't usually go back to places I've already been, but I will absolutely visit here again. Gracias!

The Good: Gorgeous well maintained grounds. Excellent facilities. Fantastic drinks! The Butler experience and the Balinese beds were amazing. The Star Prestige level was worth it for the beach beds alone! The Bad: NO LOBSTER!!!! Some of the staff were unaccommodating (rude). The Star Prestige Room overlooked the neighboring hotels maintenance sheds.

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your review following your stay at our hotel Iberostar Grand Bavaro. It is great to learn that our gorgeous facilities were of your liking as well as our fantastic drinks. On other hand, we are disheartened that we could not fully exceed your expectations in aspects where we get the most wonderful feedback as our gastronomy and staff attentions which are our main pillars. As per your lobster comments, there is a ban which lasts for a few months, we are sorry you could not enjoy the excellent dishes prepared by our chef. We appreciate your feedback as it is with constructive comments such as yours that we can improve our service. We are hoping to have another opportunity to welcome you back, please do not hesitate to contact us should you need any assistance. Best Regards, Quality Manager Iberostar Grand Bavaro

We always enjoyed the music that is piped in, it's like electric saxophone? or something. Not talking about the live music which is always good also. Does anyone have a name or a type of music they typically played during the day in the lobby? Does management? Thanks. We didn't make it this fall, hopefully Next year!! Relaxing time there.

Loved both the Grand in Jamaica and Mexico...both resorts show the importance Iberostar Hotel chain puts on service and attention to details. Staff at both resorts are dedicated to making sure your stay is perfect. Iberostar Grand Bavaro is all that and much more...the beach at this hotel is far more appealing then the other two, the beach is much better for swimming, walking, sunning and just plane people watching.

Every time that we have gone to the resort, we have scheduled transportation to/from the airport through the travel company we booked the trip through. Don’t believe the resort provides this service.

I am a member of the resort’s Facebook group and through this group I have found out that the resort is closed for the time being. I heard rumours that it was opening at the end of May 2020.

These workers survive on tips. There is no rule about no tips at Iberostar. I know of one of the others big players that say tips are included but the butlers, etc at those resorts expect tips. I believe that taking care of people that take care of you is important. Sometimes some money up front is important for the butlers, maids, and Spa services so they know you appreciate their efforts. These workers are there 6 of 7 days a week. Most work really hard and deserve consideration. When we go for a week we generally tip the Butler $100. Make sure to take small bills for general tipping. Don't forget the maids. We enjoy all of the towel art and flowers! great experience.
