    Dominican Paradise

    Jose arias Our stay at the Iberostar Selection Coral Bávaro to celebrate our honeymoon was exceptional. We didn’t spend much time inside it, but our villa was lovely and the housekeeping staff surprised us with lovely designs on our bed everyday made with palms and flowers from right outside our door. They were very creative and I wish I could name them here but we never crossed paths. Our personal concierge, Samuel Avelino, was attentive and helpful and we appreciated his check ins to be sure everything was going smoothly. He made sure to have champagne sent to our villa on my husband’s birthday too. We loved our time in the Star Prestige beach area. Jose Arias provided great and friendly beach service always making sure we had drinks in our hands. We enjoyed the food and there are so many options to eat from various buffets to a la carte restaurants. Our favorite dinner was at the Gala night at El Faro. There appeared to be a lot of management in attendance and they made sure everything was delicious and running smoothly. We were thrilled with this being our last dinner at the resort and it was complete with a violinist for entertainment while enjoying our food. We are already talking about our next trip back!

    Staff make ALL the difference!

    The people make all the difference here! Luis, Jose and Zulekia are the most attentive to every detail! Scheduling the best dinners, our massages, with our favorites Marisol and Cleo; they are the best! We come here each holiday because they make us feel like family! Gracias! Until November…

    Just okay.

    The good— the resort grounds are well maintained, the rooms were large and clean, it was easy to get around the massive resort with the plentiful golf cart service and the food was very good for an AI. The bad— with the exception of the house keeping services, most customer service was awful. A bartender at the Coral beach bar rolled his eyes at my friend because she didn’t order her frozen drink at the same time I did and he had to make another. The concierges at the Coral level were very unhelpful and unpleasant, except for the woman I met upon check out. Restaurant staff were only friendly on the day they were doing guest surveys in the restaurant where they begged for five star reviews. Shows were not as good as some I’ve seen at other resorts and there was not a lot of other activities happening, even though they were listed in the app. Our kids had a great time, and the good parts made for an overall enjoyable trip, but with the service we received we won’t be back. I’m kind of surprised at all of the positive reviews considering our experience.

    The best

    Truly Exceptional! Working in hospitality, I’m usually very critical and notice every detail—but this resort truly impressed me. The service was outstanding, the room spotless and beautifully maintained, and every aspect of the experience was flawless. It’s by far the best place I’ve ever stayed. Highly recommend! Food was delicious.

    Amazing week at Coral Selection Bavaro-Punta Cana

    Angel was assigned to us on the day of our arrival. He was our Star Prestige representative. The level of attentiveness, communication and kindness he showed us was beyond expectation! Our experience during this week was phenomenal because of Angel…we got to sit back, relax and be present with each other. One of the things we love most about our membership with Iberostar is that we feel like family within minutes of our arrival. It is so nice to have one consistent contact to guide us through our time away from home. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Getting away and not having to worry? Have to give a shout out to Janaira as well! She was behind the bar in Star Prestige by the beach and took amazing care of us! Kept us well “watered”! Definitely in our top 2 for Iberostar locations visited!
