Beautiful well groomed landscape and beach. Well managed resort. Great service. Excellent food. Private, quiet rooms. Pleasant pool area. Clean. Good variety of options for food, entertainment, excursions etc. Professional entertainment in the evenings but not to my taste. Weather was perfect. We were a part of Apple Vacations and it was great to leave here at 7 AM and... More

This was our 4th time to the Iberostar Grand Bavaro, we were there from February 2nd to February 9th, 2012 – we emailed Freddy (the reservation manager) and requested an upper level room facing the ship. Freddy came through (thank you Freddy) and gave us room 7309 – which was the first room we had at the Grand in 2009... More

We've been to all several inclusive resorts in Mexico and throughout the Caribbean and would easily confirm this as the best we've stayed at to date! Some comments: - Pool service was tremendous. Rosie & Leady were always there with a smile and a beverage! - Activities staff was very good. Poolside games were fun, and the staff did a... More

We visited the Grand between 1/22 and 1/29 2012, this was my 10th year staying in the DR 6 years at the Hacienda Dominicus, 2yrs at the Bavaro this was my 2nd time to the Grand. These are all Iberostar resorts, and all are quite nice. Now that the history lesson is over, the Grand Bavaro is the finest resort... More

We just returned from a quick 5 day family (3 adult couples) trip to this lovely property. It was our first stay at an Iberostar, but not our last. We arrived at the property and were greeted with pina coladas and champagne. After an easy check in we were shown to our rooms by our 'Butler'. As requested, our rooms... More

We just returned from 10 days at the the Iberostar Grand Hotel and it was awesome! We have stayed at 2 other properties in Punta Cana and thought they were excellent, but the Iberostar really raised the bar! The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, the shows professional and varied (not typical of the island resort shows),... More

My aunt and I stayed at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro from 1/30 until 2/4. This was my best vacation yet and I can't wait to go back. I can almost understand the starting point of some other guests frustrations with the place but I believe that with a minimal amount of research before the trip and a hint of patience,... More

We stayed at the Iberostar Grand January 22-29. This was our third time back to this resort. It has just gotten better every time. If you want a vacation with just relaxing, great food and drinks this is the place for you. It is quiet and luxurious. Our room was 7355, ocean view, on the 4th floor, overlooking the ponds... More

We travelled to this location for a wedding and it was more than I ever expected! The waiters are so friendly and speak good English, bringing you drinks all day long, and just great people! The rooms were great! Clean, everything worked great and the service was amazing! The buffet breakfast, lunch, and supper were very good. Something for everyone.... More

The butlers were all very conscientious and polite. We had the pleasure of dealing with Mendy, Carlos and Kelvin, but the whole team was really good. We had been given an upgrade from the Bavaro, and as we had friends staying at the Bavaro, we tended to use it's facilities more, both pools and restaurants. Both hotels were lovely and... More
