It has been three weeks since we returned from a trip at the Iberostar Grand in Punta Cana. I have to admit that it was extremely hard to get back to reality after spending a week in Paradise. No more delicious breakfast buffets, no longer the exquisite service, no more lobster, no more sun (seriously, what's wrong with Europe's weather!).... More

My boyfriend and I just returned from 5 nights at the Iberostar Grand and I don't have a single complaint. We quickly arrived at the hotel after a 25 minute air conditioned bus ride and were greeted with a cool towel and a beverage and our room was to be ready in 15 minutes. We walked to the beach and...

This was my second time staying in Iberostar Grand In Punta Cana and the experience was a positive one again. The Beach, the service, the food, the grounds, and most importantly the Dominican people are the best. Everyone goes out of their way to make your stay a great one. We love that hotel so much that my fiance and... More

Chose the Grand Bavaro as a destination for my 40th birthday - went with my best friend. It was an ideal choice for us! Beautiful beach and pool area; and, despite comments I'd seen on this site, we never had any challenge finding chairs at any time of day. I found the moderate surf perfect for swimming! It's rare to... More

Chose this hotel based on it being all inclusive as we were looking for a last minute uncomplicated "quiet" girls getaway from New York for a few days We choose the perfect place. Direct flight from JFK, 20 minute ride from airport (hotel does not provide transportation, $38 air conditioned cab ride) and easy check in. Hotel guests mostly couples... More

I stayed at the Grand Bavaro from May 13 to May 20, 2013. This decision was made after careful reviews on multiple sites about this hotel. This place will not dissappoint. This was the most amazing vacation that I have had in my life. Everyone and I mean everyone was wonderful to be around. Arismendy 'Mendy,' our butler, was nothing... More

This is a return visit for us to the Iberostar Grand Bavaro after only 18 months. We are seasoned and experienced travelers, having visited luxury, all-inclusive, adults only resorts like Secrets, Excellence, Sandals, Palace, Iberostar, and others over the past 15 years. Many times, a return visit to a particular resort is not as rewarding as the first time. That... More

This hotel has a wonderful location, good people, and great accomodations. Their one weakness is their poor room service. As a 5 Star Hotel there room service rated "no" star. Unfortunately, it was so bad it was as if they did not want you to order it. A property is only as good as its weakest link. I rely on... More

We vacationed May 4- May 11, 2013. We previously vacationed at the Grand Bavaro in Mexico (2012) and in Jamaica (2010) so we were curious if the Punta Cana Grand Bavaro was equivalent. We found that this resort was as nice as the other two Grand Bavaro's. We were able to email reservations for the restaurants for the first four... More
