Iberostar Selection Coral Bávaro - All Inclusive

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Iberostar Coral Bávaro – one of the best family vacations we've ever had! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth, kindness, and genuine smiles. The entire team was always one step ahead, making sure we felt comfortable, relaxed, and cared for. The atmosphere was both fun and welcoming, with staff going the extra mile every day to ensure we had a great experience. The facilities are spotless and beautiful – the rooms are spacious and modern, the gym is well-equipped, and the restaurants offer a great variety of delicious food. We would especially like to thank Keila, chef at El Faro, who went out of her way to prepare food for our baby – even on her days off. That level of dedication and heart is something we will never forget. This resort is a true example of excellent hospitality. We felt not just like guests, but like family. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return! Thank you, Iberostar Coral Bávaro!

Just came back yesterday from Iberostar Selection Bavaro Coral Leve. Family: 2 adults and 2 teenagers (girls). In general, we had a good time, and my girls really liked the resort. This is our third Iberostar and I have to admit, this one is not our favorite. Do not take me wrong-we enjoyed our stay, and nothing was terribly bad/wrong, but this is not our favorite one. I was not sure about the DR in general but actually, really liked it. All concerns about bad service, unfriendly people, bad airport and etc. were wrong. Prons: beautiful grounds- a lot of greens, clean and the Selection has villas that made it very private. Room was very nice-spacious (family 2 bedrooms suite), clean and seemed that was redone not a long time ago. Teens had their own bedroom, and it was very convenient. Food in Coral level was very good, and for us it worth an additional cost. A lot of seafood, fruits (mango, Papai and watermelon were amazing), and in general a lot to choose from. Service was AMAZING- people were friendly, service was fast, and they were not tip hungry as we saw at the other resorts. We did tip often, but if I forgot cash, nothing was different. Restaurants were nice (except one that I will mention later). Some were very good, some were just ok. We were lucky to try almost all of them:) It was easy to schedule it also. We liked: Greek (sea bus was the best meal), Coral level restaurant, Stackhouse (steak was a little tough but still tasty), and Italian. French was just ok. Beach is very nice, and I could see how beautiful it could be without seaweeds:( There are a lot of space at the Coral level, and 2 little pools were very convenient too. People were nice and friendly at the Coral level. We did not have one issue with the service. Surprisingly (compare with Iberostar, Jamaica), we were not "abused" with the timeshare. Yes, they approached us, but after no, they left us alone. Cons: Food at the main buffet (Selection) was just ok... We tried 3 times and were not impressed. Deserts were just ok at all levels...Compare with Mexico and Jamaica, they looked beautiful but tasted just ok.. Seaweeds... I understand that this is a natural phenomenon, but it spoiled our trip. They cleaned without stopping but I felt that the number of equipment they had was not sufficient. Only Friday, they cleaned around the Coral level... Some days the sewage smell was all around the resort...Not sure why. Asian restaurant-do not waste your time...The worst food and service we had-people are not friendly, and food was terrible... The evening shows were not the best also, and also, they were too late. Only on the last day we figured out that they had another room where Michael Jackson show was. The coral level was very quiet, and we never went to the main pool, actually. I am sure there was some actions there. There are a lot of golf cars driving on the paths. I personally, did not care too much, but my husband was not thrilled. To conclude with, we had a good time, and
