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.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our butlers, Victor and Salvadore, were the best, and covered our every need! Nice hotel rooms! Always very clean! Everyone who works at the resort is beyond nice and helpful! The grounds and landscaping are magnificent! The accommodations at the pool and beach were amazing! They have a variety of excursions to go on! Every restaurant was delicious! We enjoyed a short golf cart ride to the casino! I would go back a million times!

Hotel's Favourite
This was our 6th time to the Grand. While it is not the same as when we first visited, it is still a great place to go. The changes are probably due to being older (mid 60s) than anything else. The property gets better every time we go. The grounds are spectacular and very well manicured. Room On the smaller size than some other resorts, but still had plenty of room. They are clean and well maintained. However, they are probably in need of an overhaul within the next few years. Water pressure in the shower was decent, but not great. There is a large balcony with multiple chairs and an outdoor loveseat. Buffet Breakfast buffet is my favorite. Plenty of options from eggs to cereal to toast to fruit and juices, plus plus. Lunch was good, but somewhat repetitious. However, you are sitting right on the beach, so not too bad. Restaurants All were good, with excellent options and good quality. We did not have a bad experience (did not get to the Japanese). What makes the Grand a place to return to is the staff. They are fantastic, with excellent English, Spanish, German, etc. However, I’d like to point out several staff who made our stay exceptional. Ery, Lely and Kerlin at the swim up bar are absolute gems. Especially Ery, who was very funny, engaging, and appeared to be truly happy doing what he is doing. I had a hat on that read ‘Punta Canada’, so I was called Punta Canada from day one until we left. Ortiz and Lorraine at the breakfast buffet both recognized us (from previous visits) immediately on our first day. They were so pleasant and helpful with our dining needs. My last but not least mention is for Salvador (or as we called him – Houston….his first name). Houston was our assigned Butler. He had been our Butler last year when we were there and we requested his services again this year. You could always tell him ‘Houston, we have a problem’ and his response would always be ‘let me fix it’ without even knowing what it was. He looked after everything for us – dining bookings, etc. However, one afternoon, he just sat with us by the pool and we talked about our families, our countries and jobs. Houston loves his country, loves his job, and loves his family. Iberostar should be extremely proud of the type of person he is and hire more Salvador’s.

The housekeepers and Victor and Salvador were amazing! The housekeeper left us decorative towels of swans and hearts. Victor and salvador made my birthday so special! I came back to the room and found a birthday cake, several gifts, and a bucket of champagne on ice! Another day I came back to a hot bath with flower petals in the shape of a heart floating in my bath. This resort is top notch! The food here was excellent! The shows were wonderful! Will be back!

I loved this location. I usually stay at the Grand in Riviera Maya, but i wanted to try something new. Few answers to questions i couldn't find before i left, there is a very good cigar bar on site (excellent wine bar too), vendors stay on the beach and don't wonder onto the property, always hit the shows(they start at 9:30 pm at the boat), all the rooms have similar views (don't stress if you cant get an ocean view), only one place (Japanese) has a reservation system but they were all easy to eat when we wanted to and there is a casino at the Iberostar next door. The level of service always surprises me with people remembering my name and drinks all week (i can fill a paragraph of server names that were great to me, but it is easier to say i didn't have a single bad one). I had one awkward experience during check in at the Club, but i realized later that a comment they made wasn't intentionally "bad" (if it comes across bad, just ask to repeat what they mean). The visitors are mixed between older people and newlyweds so there was no loud partiers. If you are a cigar smoker and miss the bar in Mexico, i would highly recommend this location.

Had a great time at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro with our two young adult children. Food was excellent. We had no trouble finding chairs at the pool or the beach. Very little seaweed on the beach during our visit and the water was nice. Outstanding customer service all around. I’ve never stayed at an all inclusive before and was worried I’d be bouncing off the walls. That wasn’t the case. My wife and I took dancing lessons, we used the gym (magnificent ocean views) and enjoyed the entertainment. I wasn’t expecting fire dancers and fire breathers! We had three fulls days and two half (travel) days which was the right length for us. Other than a couple of walks along Bavaro Beach, we never left the resort. I would definitely be up for staying at another Iberostar. The guests at this one are on the older side which worked well for us. We weren’t looking for a wild Spring Break scene. Our kids did go to the disco at the sister resort next store which offered a more stereotypical Spring Break party scene. We wanted a quieter, more international vibe. We tipped by choice but not consistently. Tipping is not the norm in Spain and you’ll get excellent customer service regardless. Beach is clean and felt very safe. There are vendors but they don’t harass you and there aren’t many. I don’t see a point in paying for an excursion when you’re already in paradise.
