Stayed at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro from 04/29-05/07 2024. This was our first time in the DR and first time at an Iberostar resort. We were not disappointed. We were with a large group, so transportation was pre-arranged with Amstar. No problems getting there and back to the airport. The resort was beautiful and well maintained. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. Loved the shower. Didn't spend much time in the room though. The service was top notch. Shout out to Laura in the lobby bar. She provided exceptional service, to the point that we made sure when we went there in the evening that she would be our waitress. The food was delicious at every restaurant. Didn't matter which one we went to; they were all awesome. My only complaint, and it's small, is it took a long time to get your food. Dinner was usually an hour affair which is ok really. We were on island time with nowhere to go. We did visit the beach and it was beautiful. We didn't spend any time there because we are not beach people. The shows at night were fun. Mr. Nobody and the acrobats were our favorite. Just a suggestion for anyone going, tip your staff. Bring a lot of $1's and $5's. I know you don't have to, but they work long hard days. We would definitely go back to this resort and will certainly consider other Iberostar resorts for future vacations.
