Jan 23, 2025Good Holiday Trip
Christmas/New Year”s Eve dinners is never a disappointment. Food selection & presentation was amazing as always. Zuleika & Luis in member serv are simply amazing 💕Always there to greet us with a smile and help when needed. Ambassador Angel Jose Santana was super helpful. Provide a great wine suggestion and made sure our wine was at dinner each and every night. The people listed next are simply amazing and always provide top notch service: Sofie and Domingo (bávaro main buffet)), Jocelyn (Bávaro pool buffet and theater bar), Emmanuel (Bávaro pool buffet), John (Coral dinner restaurant), these individuals don’t always get the recognition but they keep us coming back every year ♥️. The entertainment in the theater was a bit disappointing this year. Not sure if there were budget cuts but the shows have declined a lot. The New Year’s Eve show this year was very disappointing when compared to years prior. The Star Friends entertainment team has also drastically changed. The team is not as friendly as in years past. There are a lot of new faces and they barely speak or smile at the guest. Not sure why the change but it is very noticeable and not a good look. When speaking with many guest they also voiced the disappointment and noticed the change. When visiting other properties and comparing the friendliness I would say DR had the friendliness entertainment team, not any more. Overall another great relaxing trip. Would still encourage others to visit.

December at Iberostar
The Iberostar resort was filled with amazing activities for everyone, including great entertainment! The pools and beach were beautiful and clean, the grounds were huge and never felt too crowded, and the staff was always efficient and friendly. The food here was also delicious and quick! I would definitely return to this resort!

Great Christmas time at Iberostar Selection Suites
We are regulars at Iberostar Bavaro from top-tier Grand (now renamed JOIA) to this Selection resort. All fives for our experience during 2024 Xmas stay. Employees in the resort tried really hard to make all great. Always smiling and greeting guests, beautiful people ready to converse with you on a pass by to their workplaces. Room accommodation was great. When we noticed AC was underperforming in the initial room, another one was provided and even with the pool view. Nice perk! We did not see a single pest or insect throughout our whole 9-day stay. Food was great as always at Iberostar. We even did not feel a need to book restaurant reservations as buffet was abundant with amazing quality dish selection. Christmas arangements were top notch. A lot of effort was put into decorations all over the resort. Many performers every night entertained guests, even live theatrical scenes of actors depicting Mary and Joseph with baby Christ. Many families with kids were all happy. We fully got what we paid for in this resort and even better. Thanks Selection Bavaro, great job done! One suggestion to people who put their complaints here - if any issues just go talk to reception and they do their best to fix it for you. DO NOT listen to some of below rare grumpy reviews of people complaining at non-existent issues. Specifically Bavaro beach area is one of the best in Domincan Republic, seaweed is not overflowing and cleaned daily and thoroughly between 5:00 - 6:00 AM before people come to the beach. And you can swim along the 750 m strech of the Iberostar beach rope to rope, extremely good swimming experience. Iberostar stands out even visually when compared to its neighbouring resorts on left and right. Highly recommended place to go, not cheap but very rewarding!
