Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites

Sudhesh Nayak

Beautifully maintained villas amid a manicured garden. Super friendly staff who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, comfortable and safe. Food was decent and the resort wasn't very crowded at the end of October. Loved the golf carts to go around the property. Scuba Diving was an extra treat I gave myself. Would definitely do it again. Amazing well knowledgeable staff from all around the world!!

The resort is nice, but I have been really disappointed with the restaurants booking systems. Only 3 can be booked, and the availability for booking is usually poor. And we arent even at peak season. For the walk in restaurants, we walked in at 630, which is the opening time. And ive been told is fully booked for a large group. Im not having meal at the buffet for the 4th time in 2 days. In addition, everything is setup to take advantage of you as a tourist. They will offer you a free shuttle to local souvenir shop, where everything is 3x more expensive. They spent 2 hours presenting the exclusive memberships for ibero star, where the cheapest membership is $20,000 USD! Having spent so much money for this holiday, the last thing I wanted was to have to spend more and more money.

The best part of this resort is the beach, fantastic sand that seemed cool on my feet despite the hot weather. We got lucky with clean sand and no sargassum weeds. The water by the resort was very clean. The food at the buffet is great if you get there when it opens, once it gets busy it's a bit too crowded. The a la carte restaurants were mostly a waste of time here, the steakhouse was closed, the Asian cuisine was fried rice with a performance (good service), the Italian restaurant had abysmal service, couldn't get a drink refill and ended up serving myself. The kids star camp was lovely and I wish we used it more than we did, the staff there were plentiful and abundantly friendly. Our room had a functional layout that felt roomy. However we were ridiculously far from all the amenities and I really got my steps in this week. While I do appreciate the exercise, it was very awkward when you forget something back in the room. The room was continually infested with millipedes. I flushed perhaps 30 to 40 of them down the toilet. Also encountered some cockroach and a fair number of mosquitoes in the room. This is likely due to the poor seals around the doors, you can see sunlight pouring through the crack all around the doors. That being said, the cleaning staff were fantastic and very helpful. The entertainment was good, on par with what I expected. A good mix of kid friendly stuff and the crowd interaction. Overall I felt that the staff really want you to have a good time and I felt there was effort on their part to ensure you have an enjoyable stay.

Actual 5 stars. We did the coral level and Will definitely return again Booked for 4 nights. Food and services are excellent. They got a 6.4 feet deep pool which is amazing. Their Starcafe has really good caramel frappe Their drinks ARE NOT watered down and pop comes in glass bottles which are absolutely delicious (I think this is for coral level) Greek restaurant has the best chicken and beef souvlaki ever.

It is hard to criticise this Resort, it was excellent, starting with Reception and booking in, transfer to your room/suite. Everyone was so friendly, in the Restaurants, the Bars, Cafe, and Cleaners, a Special mention to the Entertainment Staff who worked their socks off, from morning to night, and made us feel not just guests but friends. It certainly helps if you can speak Spanish, but many Staff are studying other languages to help themselves and those who don't speak Spanish. Also a special mention to the Maintenance Staff, the Gardeners, the Arborists, the grounds were impecable. If I had one niggle, it would be the water filtration points, the only place to fill your water bottles, open to the elements, and I saw a number of guests collecting water without cleaning hands, and did not see staff cleaning these points on a regular basis (I'm not saying they didn't, I wasn't keeping watch)
