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.

Hotel's Favorite
Last week, my husband & I celebrated our 16 year wedding anniversary with our friends at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro DR! It felt like a dream! We stayed in a garden view room #7230 Our Butler, Danilo, which we nicknamed D-Lo was awesome! He catered to our evey need. Everytime he saw us, he would remind us of dinner or massage reservations, or ask if there is anything we needed for our room and he did not dissapoint. He really went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. He arranged a romantic bath, with champaigne and wine, just to name an example. Our other Butler was Edward. He was Always smiling and also willing to accomodate our every need! They were both very wonderful! All of the staff were super accomodating and felt like friends by the time we left. We LOVE the staff. Carlos from the prestiege beach was also very attentive and brought some very awesome drinks. Security, (I didn't catch his name) was always close by at the prestiege beach and kept some of the vendors moving when we told them no thank you and we were very appreciative. I wish we would have asked for his name, but WOW, his being there really did make us feel safe and sound so we could relax! Walter from Concierge was one of my husband's favorites as they bonded over cars and such. Staff like him truly made us feel like family when we were there. Orlando and Judith from The Club were also fun and cool to talk with. We decided not to upgrade to double black this trip, (but very interested in future) they were not pushy and gave us a gift for our time, which was very sweet. Carlos was our server many times at the breakfast buffet and even sometimes at dinner. He makes the best mimosas! I wish I could remember more names, but the bartenders at the pool and the ladies bringing drinks were always smiling and kind! The cleaning staff, the groundskeepers, the golf cart drivers, EVERYONE was so awesome! Our room was very beautiful and clean. The bathroom mirror had some small spots on it that were damage, but not too terrible and I'm sure they will replace soon, but everything was very clean and fresh. They changed our sheets daily and sometimes twice a day 🙂 And we always had fresh towels and wash cloths which was very appreciated. The bed was super comfortable as well. They also had our room decorated and set up for a romantic anniversary getaway! We saw the circus show which included a fire show right on the beach and that was very cool! Such amazing talent!! The only complaint is that during a rainstorm, the Boogie Nights show was moved to inside, (understandable) but there was NO DANCING along. Everyone was just expected to sit and watch. Which was boring to us. We wanted to get up and move around and dance, especially after having drinks, but we were told by one of the star friends that we were blocking the view of other seated guests and they couldn't see because we were dancing. To be honest, the guests were older folks and were looking at us like we were wild hooligans and needed removed. lol We ended up just leaving the show. I felt like night life at the Grand was kind of boring or started too late. We danced in the boat one night, but there was only like 8 people dancing and everyone else just stood around. Next time we will try to go to the other resorts on the propery to check out the other night life. I'm 42 and felt very young compared to most of the guests. The food was amazing!! If you like steak, order the tenderloin at the surf and turf! It was delicious. My husband enjoyed the lobster and shrimp as well. The sushi at the buffet was soooo good and the macaroons were my favorite! I'm not sure of the young man's name at the breakfast buffet, but he was always smiling and he fist bumped us a few times. He makes a mean omlet too! The chips and guac at the place near the pool also hit the spot for lunch! The pools were very very warm. Almost too warm, but I prefer that over pools that are too cold, so I was happy, but my husband didn't like that. When we went to Mexico IGP in Dec and Jan, the pools were very very cold, so I had to move around to stay warm. I can't wait to book another trip and we will most likely be coming back to the GB with our adult children very very soon! Overall I love having the black membership and I LOVE IBEROSTAR! Home away from home!!

I have traveled to many resorts in the Caribbean, and this was far and away the nicest resort that I have stayed at. From the service which was outstanding to the immaculate condition of the hotel along with the excellent food, this is truly a 5 star resort. We are also golfers, and the nearby Iberostar Bavaro Golf Club proved to be a delight - not too challenging but a pleasure to play. Our only complaint would be that the wine selection left a little to be desired, whereas the drink selections were high class. If the wines were superior I would rate this as a 5+ resort. We will definitely be back.

Great experience to stay at Iberostar Grand Bávaro. Nice hospitality, clean rooms, good food at all the restaurants. Many thanks to our wonderful butler Victor. He works so hard to accommodate us with any requests. If you want to spend time in paradise you should come to Iberostar Grand Bavaro!

I'm leaving from Iberostar Grand Bavaro today. I really enjoyed myself. This is my 3rd Iberostar Grand resort that I've stayed at and out of the 3 I've been to this is my 2nd favorite with my first favorite still is Iberostar Grand in Jamaica (I've stayed at Iberostar Grand Rose Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica and also Iberostar Grand Paraiso in Riviera Maya, Mexico as well). The service overall was excellent. There were some hiccups with dinner reservations but it was quickly resolved. The main reason why I have continued to stay at Iberostar Grand resorts is the excellent service, the amazing people, the amazing food quality and beautiful resorts. I really enjoyed my stay and will be back and recommend. One thing that I can tell that they are working to improve is the entertainment, which I wish they would have some later options and also use the indoor theater some times. You also have access to the sister properties as well. Big shout out to the lobby bartenders Bruno and Thomas who were excellent and kept everyone smiling. Shoutout to concierge Victor and Jean who were helpful during my stay with reservations, etc. Shoutout to the entertainment staff that had so much energy throughout each day. Shoutout to the awesome restaurant and buffet staff (too many to name) that were very attentive, very nice and always went out of their way to make sure my lunch and dinner experiences were amazing and that I was taken care of. I will be back.

Best experience so far in a grand resort. The hospitality was amazing friendly staff. Food was amazing. You can choose from 5 different restaurants and the buffet. Crystal clear water with a beautiful beach. Everyone was so nice and attentive to any of our needs. We had 2 butlers Victor / Robert and they were amazing. Anything we needed they were there for us.
