Apr 17, 20257th visit to a beautiful resort where the people/service are the best part!
Totally would recommend for the adults only, all-inclusive resort experience. After multiple stays, we come back for the beautiful beach, the food and especially the people. Even when there are issues that pop up, the staff addresses them and will listen to you. The desk manager, Luis handles any issues on arrival. Darlyn and Jose from the butler staff took care of any requests we had during our stay. Romana and Samuel are the two best wait staff at the resort and really start your day off in a happy mood at breakfast! Chris Mary at the French restaurant was the friendliest and most attentive hostess by far! Diana prepared and cleaned our room every day on time and with those added touches you look for.

Excelente!
This was our fourth visit to Joia Bavaro by Iberostar. Every single detail, from the grounds, to the interior decor, to the cuisine, has the mark of very close attention paid. By far the most outstanding feature of this resort is the staff. Professional, friendly, eager to provide the best possible experience for their guests. Our butler Junior was amazing. Several times each day he would seek us out to ensure that our needs and wants were being met. We will definitely request his services when we return next Spring. Yaris is a shining star! From greeting and seating guests at the buffet and Le Tourbillon, to clearing tables to support her coworkers, to folding napkins…. anything that needed doing to keep operations moving smoothly Yaris took care of. We called her “the Queen”. Juan at the buffet and Le Tourbillon provided exceptional and attentive service with lots of fun included! Antonio at La Tentazione and the buffet, and Jairo Ortiz at the evening buffet were also outstanding. The animation team gave us such a good time! Yeli, Luz and Black Mambo, and the DJ at the Foam Party were particular favourites. Yeli remembered us from last year; we felt like old friends! Our housekeeper Maria (room 7204) kept our room pristine and fresh. She left a sweet note for us, wishing us a perfect vacation. The staff are a credit to this resort. Kudos to management for hiring, training and providing great leadership to the exceptional team.

Excellent
Outstanding resort recommend highly immaculate grounds. Every one of the staff cannot do enough for you. Food was excellent facilities were excellent. Oceanfront views were magnificent. Even at full capacity, you didn’t feel like it was crowded. Can’t recommend enough.

Paradise
Absolutely paradise, and the staff was so kind and made us feel like royalty. We can’t thank our Butlers Edward and Danilo and maid Jennifer enough. We are looking forward to seeing them all again in August . Love always Chris and Sherinda Jacobs
