We had an AMAZING honeymoon at JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar! From the food and drinks to the perfect weather and the wonderful service, especially our butlers Danilo and Edward! Who knew you would use a butler but they checked in with us multiple times a day, helped make dinner reservations and a couples massage appointment…Anything we needed or asked for they got it for us in no time! They even had a surprise for us on our anniversary day! If you book here, we highly recommend you ask for them! All of the staff was friendly and made our stay super enjoyable! The water aerobics and poolside Bingo were also highlights! Jennifer made sure our room was cleaned twice a day and the nightly turn down service was super nice!

We stayed at JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar to celebrate Our 15th Anniversary, from the moment your arrive at this hotel you are treated like Royalty.. The hospitality at this hotel is top notch.. The food is amazing, the staff is so friendly and you feel like they are family. But the best is our Butlers Armando and Ray were our butlers and they didn’t just give us great service they gave outstanding above and beyond service it was the best Anniversary that we will never forget. Our butlers gave us surprises everyday of our stay to towels being folded in heart shape and best was our rose petals in our bathtub we absolutely beautiful just paying attention to details is what they did made us feel so good!! We absolutely will be visiting again!! Thank you so much to our wonderful butlers and staff!! Miss you all already!!

Our stay at JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar was incredible from start to finish, and our butler, Cofe, was a huge part of why it was so special. He anticipated our needs, handled every request with professionalism and warmth, and made us feel completely taken care of the entire time. Thanks to his attentive service, everything from dining reservations to small day-to-day details felt effortless and customized just for us. The resort itself is beautiful and relaxing, with well-kept grounds, great pools, a stunning beach, and excellent food and drinks at both the buffet and à la carte restaurants. Every staff member we met was friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to unwind and enjoy every moment of our vacation. We would highly recommend JOIA Bávaro—and especially the butler service with Cofe—to anyone looking for a memorable, luxurious getaway.

We are at the end of our 1 week stay at the Joia Bavaro by Iberostar (formerly the Grand Bavaro). It is a beautiful resort for adults only. The attention to detail from the staff, the out door landscaping, rooms, butler service, food, facilities, activities and entertainment is truly a 10/10!!!! Our butlers Victor and Valentine made sure that we had everything we required from morning until night, and they are kind, respectful, responsive and easily get a 10/10 rating. They take care of approximately 35 to 40 rooms per day and yet made us feel like they were only taking care of us. The sweetest guys ever!!! The drinks at the room, pool, beach, bars and restaurants are 10/10……anything from carbonated water, Shandy, Aperol Spritz, Gin and Tonic…..and Champagne all day long, anytime, anywhere you want…..if you desire!!! The food was a 10/10 both at the buffets and at the a la carte restaurants. We were pleasantly impressed by the authenticity of the cuisine (Italian, Japanese, French, Surf and Turf) I kept busy during the day with the various activities such as: Yoga, archery, and pool classes (boxing, pole, cycling, noodle fitness)…..and Bingo. The rooms are very comfortable, larger than what you normally get, with a large balcony with comfortable outdoor furniture. It felt clean and fresh…….and no bugs not inside or outside…..a very pleasant surprise!!!! Your wrist band is your room key 10/10. Lots of live music in the evenings that was lovely to listen to and evening shows in the indoor air conditioned theatre were entertaining!! This was our first time at the Joia Bavaro by Iberostar, and look forward to coming back again.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Joia Hotel in the Dominican Republic for my brother’s 50th birthday! The entire stay exceeded my expectations from the moment we arrived. We were welcomed with cold ginger tea, and let me tell you, it was delicious. I just wish they offered it beyond check-in day because I would’ve happily had it every morning! The buffet provided a great variety of fresh food and drinks, and everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. The Japanese restaurant was truly superb and easily one of the best meals of the entire trip. I booked a room with a Butler and a swim-up pool, and it was worth every penny. Reynaldo and Jac, my Butlers, were phenomenal. They were attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead in making sure every detail of my stay felt personalized and effortless. Their level of service truly elevated the entire experience. My only tiny complaint is that I wish the swim-up pool connected to my room had been heated… LOL! But that just encouraged more visits to the resort’s swim-up bar, which was a whole vibe on its own. December is an amazing time to visit the Dominican Republic, and Joia Bavaro by Iberostar made this celebration unforgettable. I highly recommend this resort and would definitely stay again! 10/10 The Hill Family
