Iberostar Selection Bavaro Suites

Йордан Балабанов

I am impressed with the hotel. The organization is excellent. Everywhere one can feel the competent leadership of the hotel manager. The staff is polite and everyone works conscientiously. The food is rich and varied. Cleanliness is of a high standard. Both the exterior and interior of the hotel are beautiful and well maintained. Security is well organized, and accordingly the level of safety is high. Well done to the managers and the entire team. I wish you continued success and further development.

This was our first trip to DR and also our first resort that was not adults only , we did not expect to see the naked kids running around our pool area so we are not sure if that is there culture or if that is how all of the family resorts are in the area. One man appeared to be cleaning his baby in the pool as he was holding the baby and dipping the baby in it's diaper into the pool at the steps while looking at the life guard and saying "it's a bambino peepee it's a okay it's a bambino". This place doesn't have a hot tub on the selection side and the pool was closed by 6 o'clock, which just left the beach in the afternoon. They did not have anyone walking around on the beach for drink orders like we are used to but this might only be an adults only thing that we have gotten used to. They take you to your room by golf cart on a little tour when you check in, after that there is plenty of walking that you can do, the areas are spaced out quite a bit. Waiters at the restaurants are very attentive they did have lobster on the buffet and there was a lot of great food to choose from. The beach/pool BBQ area also served lobster and had great burgers, we didn't see any silverware at the BBQ area but that isn't a big deal with that type of food. Only the lobby staff really spoke great English, the lobby staff are wonderful and very helpful. Since we only really know a few Spanish words and phrases it made it difficult to speak with most of the staff outside of the lobby. It would be a good idea to learn Spanish before coming instead of thinking that you can learn on the fly from the staff. We would have enjoyed more sophisticated or more engaging entertainment for adults as the fire show was probably the most adults oriented entertainment they had followed by their circus show, the rest of the entertainment was more child oriented or just singing and dancing. Housekeeping kept forgetting soap in our room and didn't change our linen out daily, the ocean side was kept clean daily, the coffee was definitely worth going to , same with the ice cream by the pool .decorations for the holidays were very beautiful. the best restaurant would be the Kabuki and the chef Bernardo was amazing and definitely a must do restaurant if you come here. I would say this seemed more like a just for children resort rather than a children are allowed resort but again this was our first one that wasn't adults only.

We just returned from a 5 day trip over Thanksgiving. There were 15 members of extended family on this trip. Rooms and buildings are in serious need of remodel. Several of the rooms had problems with Air Conditioning. Overall the hotel looks older and run down. The Riu, by comparison was very nice looking. Service was great and location was great. Be careful of the Market on site, their prices were crazy expensive...$53 for a bottle of sunscreen! Also the beach is crawling with scam artists that will not leave you alone. They also roam the resort grounds. We went parasailing from the beach at the resort and paid for pictures which we never received. Many of the excursions being sold are nothing but scams either. If you are going here be careful and don't trust anyone who isn't working directly for the resort.

The hotel was perfect for us as a family. There were lots of options and activities for the kids, variety of good quality food and the service was great! Jose Arias, at the prestige beach, was amazing; his positive attitude and attention was great! The rooms could have been better, especially the bed comfort and cleanliness. Overall great experience!

Beautifully maintained villas amid a manicured garden. Super friendly staff who go the extra mile to make you feel welcome, comfortable and safe. Food was decent and the resort wasn't very crowded at the end of October. Loved the golf carts to go around the property. Scuba Diving was an extra treat I gave myself. Would definitely do it again. Amazing well knowledgeable staff from all around the world!!
