Iberostar Bavaro Suites

Here we have a review from our customers. Excellent food - good variety and great home-made taste, excellent fruit selection and quality (we became passion fruit junkies!), my extremely picky 4 year-olds were actually finding lots of things to eat and I don't mean just French fries!

Good drinks - liked the house wine quite a bit :) Fantastic beach - beautiful white sand, not a pebble in sight, lots of space both in the shade and in the sun.

Some waves but we rather enjoyed them. Clear blue water. Waterpark for kids - very enjoyable!

Accommodations - loved the junior suite! Both of my 4 year-olds fit very comfortably on the little couches. (the big beds were a little too high for them) Very nicely and tastefully furnished.

Liked the welcome fruit basket and rum. Very clean. And none of that humid smell that you have in a lot of the Carribean hotels. Turn-down service was a nice touch. Needed bottled water, called the front desk and it was at my door within 5 minutes! Very private, especially if you at on the 2nd floor. Great sound isolation.
