Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites

This resort was perfect for my dad (69), myself and two kids (4 and 9). We loved that the big main pool was right next to the kid's pirate ship pool. We spent most our time there since the beach to the resort was full of seaweed. We were able to walk along the beach and find a clearer spot to get photos and dip in but it was short lived. The outdoor burger buffet, ice cream parlor and hibachi was our favorite as far as food. The big buffet was beautifully set up but most the food tasted bland. The room was nice, we had a connecting 2 bedroom and slept comfortably, AC worked great. We did find multiple red centipedes, and 1 roach in the bathroom though. Cleaning came daily. The spa was a 10/10 and worth the price. The $400 credit we received through booking with a travel agent is really only coupon like discounts but be sure to take advantage of $25 off every $100 spent at the resort especially if you do the spa. We had no issues getting golf carts to take us around. Our favorite staff member was Altagracia. She made us feel at home, and was so loving with the kids. Bringing $1-$5s came in handy for tipping, the staff so deserves. They work long hours and are always in a great mood looking to serve you.

I just returned from an incredible stay at Iberostar Selection Bávaro Suites, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. The resort itself is stunning—beautiful grounds, a gorgeous beach, delicious food, and a wide range of activities for all ages. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and designed with relaxation in mind. But what truly made our trip unforgettable was the exceptional service, especially from our beach concierge, Jose Arias. Jose went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable every single day. Whether it was setting up the perfect beach spot, checking in on us regularly, or remembering our preferences, he made us feel incredibly welcome and taken care of. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality stood out and made a real difference in our vacation. Thank you, Jose, and thank you Iberostar, for an amazing getaway! We’ll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed everything the resort had to offer. Jose Arias was delightful on the beach always greeting us with a bright smile and warm welcome. He always made sure we had what we needed and were satisfied with everything. The same can be said for Piron at El Faro, he always greeted us with a warm welcome and made sure we were taken care of. Paola in the spa gives and excellent massage and ensured I was happy with the pressure and comfortable throughout. We truly enjoyed our stay, always had a clean room and all of the staff was so friendly the entire time. We can’t wait to come back!

My stay at the resort was wonderful in many aspects. The rooms were spacious, well decorated and comfortable. However, I feel that they should invest in improving the air conditioning, as it was a little uncomfortable during our stay. In addition, I want to highlight the excellent service of Jose Arias the beach concierge who made our experience at the beach even more special with his kindness

Nice resort overall. Rooms were nice, spacious, and clean. Buffets were okay, but I am not a huge buffet person. I wish there were lunch options besides buffet style. You may not get a reservation at all the restaurants if you wait until you get there. The hibachi was pretty good and we enjoyed the Greek. The French was okay and easy to get into if you didn't have a reservation and don't want the buffet. Steakhouse was excellent. I would have made a reservation for two dinners there if I had known how delicious it was. Service throughout varied. Some servers were more attentive than others, but overall friendly. Pool is nice, and we didn't have any issues getting chairs. The $25 per day deal to book a cabana is great, but know that the "cabanas" near the pool are not really cabanas, they are more like day beds and only big enough for 2, maybe 3 adults. They are not shaded entirely depending on where the sun is. If you want a true cabana, go with one on the beach. Unfortunately, the cabana didn't have a server which was a bummer. I was there with friends, all in our 20s, and we liked the entertainment. Catered more toward kids early in the night, then more toward adults later in the night. Pool area entertainment was kind of the same everyday. Feel like they should be switching it up more. Overall good resort for the price, especially if you get one of the deals. I prefer a smaller resort, but probably a great resort if you have kids or are traveling with a group of many different ages.
