Mar 28, 2025Above and beyond service
This truly was an unforgettable trip! Houston, our butler, was so helpful and made my birthday special by going above and beyond by decorating the room. I have been to all inclusives before and I can easily say this one was the best. All of the staff were so kind and attentive and we will definitely be back!

Mar 26, 2025Sorry's don't work when paying this much money and sometimes you're better to stick with old memories.
Don't come here based on fond memories. 8 years ago this place was fabulous. Everything is different. We are on day 2 of a 5 day stay.At 2:30pm, check in was nearly one and q half hours. Went to dinner around 7:30. No tables at our first choices (they no longer take reservations). Plenty of apologies and I'm sorry's. Wound up in a restaurant where few others wanted to be (as evidenced by the small crowd). During dinner, waiter dropped a tray in my lap. Fortunately it only had water on it. Should have taken the buffet as the last choice. Went to the cigar bar and picked a cigar based on being informed (on this site) that the cigars were part pf the all inclusive. Not so, but it was a good $30 cigar (later comped by a caring manager). Today, we were lucky to learn early that 2 restaurants and the buffet are closed tonight. Going to be a lot of unhappy people. Went to the room this afternoon to take a shower, only to learn that there is no water pressure. Everybody is quick to apologize and say I'm sorry, but at this price point, these issues shouldn't be an issue. We're here for 4 more nights. I'm not optimistic that things will get better. If you're reading this, maybe pick someplace else that say's they are almost 5 star and not hope that the place you stay is as good as it used to be.

Dream vacation at JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar.
Our stay at JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and a level of hospitality that made us feel truly special. Impeccable Grounds and Stunning Pools The resort itself is breathtaking—immaculately maintained with lush tropical landscaping that enhances the serene atmosphere. The pools are a true highlight, offering crystal-clear waters, plenty of comfortable loungers, and a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. Whether you’re taking a refreshing dip or sipping a cocktail poolside, the experience is pure bliss. Pristine Beaches The beachfront at JOIA Bávaro is paradise. The soft, powdery sand and turquoise waters create an idyllic setting for relaxation. Whether we were lounging under a palapa, taking a peaceful stroll, or simply enjoying the ocean breeze, every moment by the beach was magical. Exceptional Staff and Personalized Service The service at JOIA Bávaro is second to none, and the staff truly made our experience extraordinary. Our butler, Valentin, went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. He was attentive, friendly, and always available when we needed anything. Our housekeeper, Romairy, kept our room immaculate and made sure we always came back to a fresh and comfortable space. We also have to give a special mention to Smiley and Yelli, who were always so happy, helpful, and full of positive energy. Their kindness and enthusiasm made every interaction with them a joy! Culinary Delights and Refreshing Drinks The food and drinks at JOIA Bávaro exceeded our expectations. Every meal was a culinary delight, with fresh ingredients and a variety of flavors that catered to every craving. From gourmet dining experiences to casual beachfront bites, the quality and presentation of the food were outstanding. And the drinks? Absolutely perfect—expertly crafted cocktails and refreshing beverages were always served with a smile. Overall Experience Everything about JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar was beyond amazing. From the stunning surroundings to the impeccable service and incredible staff, our stay was nothing short of perfection. We left feeling relaxed, pampered, and already planning our return. If you’re looking for a luxurious, unforgettable getaway in Punta Cana, this is the place to be! 10/10—Highly recommend!

Exceptional couples getaway
Six days and five nights was the perfect getaway for my husband and me. We had a swim out room which included butler service. Houston and Armando were exceptional, they went above and beyond helping us with everything- I have food allergies and they were super communicative with the restaurants to make sure I was safe. They also set up our room with jacuzzi and bubbles while we were out at dinner. They had a WhatsApp message that was super helpful each day to let us know what was going on in the hotel. Their service was an important part of our relaxing stay and we are already looking forward to coming back.

Great Stay Once Again!
The resort is not new but extremely well maintained. The staff were extremely friendly and eager to please. We are returning guests like many others. The property is safe and secure. Our butler Danilo was absolutely outstanding. He was available with instant support for our every request from morning through night. Simply amazing!
