My stay at Joia Bavaro By Iberostar was pleasant. the service was genuinely friendly, but there were a few shortcomings that kept it from being a five-star experience. The staff really knew how to make you feel welcome, yet certain amenities left a lot to be desired. I enjoyed the beautiful surroundings but felt that some areas could use improvement.

The rooms were well-appointed, but I expected more in terms of space. a suite layout would have been preferred. There was a nice view from my room, though it wasn't exactly the ocean-facing room I had imagined.

The butler service was attentive. Daniel and Luis were particularly helpful, checking in to ensure I had everything I needed. It was nice to see them actively involved in the guest experience.

Location

Situated just outside the private beach area, the location was great. still, I noticed quite a bit of litter on the beach which was a bit disappointing.

Dining near the pool was a treat. I sampled grilled lobster daily which was good, yet the lunch offerings felt repetitive after a few days. I expected more variety.

Facilities

The facilities were decent, with room service and housekeeping attentive. but the overall spa experience felt a bit lacking compared to other resorts. Enhancements in the spa area could really elevate the experience.

My stay at Joia Bavaro By Iberostar was truly nice, with excellent service being a highlight. The food was generally good, though I felt the vegan options were limited and sometimes a bit disappointing. However, the beautiful beach and well-maintained grounds made up for it. Overall, it was a lovely getaway with just a couple of minor drawbacks.

I had a wonderful time at Joia Bavaro By Iberostar, thanks to its stunning location and great staff. The beautiful beach was a highlight, although securing a good spot early in the morning was necessary. While the food was hit or miss, I do remember enjoying room service more. Unfortunately, I did encounter some health issues upon returning from the trip, which can happen with international travels. Overall, it was a nice stay filled with beautiful surroundings and attentive service.

Rooms

The room was clean and well-decorated, though the layout could use some work. I had a lovely view, though a balcony that could be enjoyed all day would have been better.

My stay at Joia Bavaro By Iberostar was overall good, with stunning grounds and highly attentive staff, yet the experience was slightly marred by some inconsistencies like check-in and dining options. 🌴 The pool hours ended too early for my taste, and the beach could benefit from more frequent cleaning of seaweed. However, the really good service and lovely atmosphere made the trip nice. 🌊
