My husband and I took a long time to decide the hotel to rest after a very hectic year. Iberostar Grand was spot on for our objective. I won't detail things that others have said, and that are very true; such as the amazing beach and pools, great food and amazing staff. Some of the great things that are seldom... More

I've never been to Punta Cana, DR before. I've been to Cancun several time and Bahama Islands as well. I've stayed at the the Ritz in Cancun, Dreams in Cancun etc and by far I have to say Iberostar Grand Bavaro Hotel is pretty close to the top as an All Inclusive Resort. My husband and I are expecting a... More

Just arrived home from Heaven and we are so sad. We just recently spent 1 amazing week at the Iberostar Grand ( May 14th to the 21st 2012 ) We choose this location for our Honeymoon and we were not disapointed. I knew it had won awards and I read all reviews on this hotel but it really blew us... More

I wish I could rate the first half and second half of the trip separately- the first few days would absolutely get a 5. The remainder of the trip would definitely get a 2 or less. We booked this resort for our honeymoon and were there May 13-20. I am terrified of flying (so much so that I'd rather drive... More

Over-all an excellent and relaxing experience. The staff definately made the trip worthwhile. Rangui, at the front desk, was very helpful as was pretty much anyone we needed assistance from. The star friends, most notably, "El Gato" and "Boom boom" always made us laugh, and Carlos was always very patient instructing me and my wife in the ways of the... More

Great trip up until I got food poisoning along with 25 other travelers in our group 2 days before coming home. Over 10 days later I am still not 100 percent. The Positive: We just got back from a 7 night stay at the resort. I must say that the resort is beautiful, the Star Friends team (El Gato, Happy... More

The best part about this trip was the all inclusive part. No need to worry about where to go to eat: there are four restaurants on property in addition to the buffet, no need to worry about sunscreen: complimentary use with the beach towels, no need to worry about entertainment: beautiful shows in an air conditioned theater, no need to...

Stayed here May 12-19, 2012. Read many reviews on Trip Advisor before going, and they all had some comments that were accurate. Check in was what we expected; room not ready until 3 p.m. Champagne and pina colada offered, along with cool towel. Room was nice, but slightly smaller than other resorts we have stayed at. Butler showed us around... More

The staff was rude and unprofessional. Upon arrival, I was told that I would have to make dinner reservations. So I met with the reservation clerk who said that unless I wanted the early seating, there were no openings. I asked about the nearby sister resorts and I was told that they were booked up, too. I took the early... More

We would vote this the best all-inclusive property we have been to and we have been to several in different countries. Property was immaculate, food was wonderfully, the beach was perfect, and the staff was great. All around best resort property we have been to. More
