"A quieter, less crowded alternative to its Iberostar sisters... the Bavaro has 598 rooms that are all inside stand-alone cottages, each with more space for kids to sleep."

"The Punta Cana Iberostar properties are situated on a lovely white sand beach that is part of a long strand shared by a number of other all-inclusives on the eastern end of the island."

Avoid the accommodations housed in the last row of buildings on the far southern end of the property, however, as their proximity to the stables results in an occasional barnyard miasma.

"Europeans are the main clientele, but Americans love the expansive options and newer grade of furnishings at this outlet. This is the best of the Iberostar locations in Punta Cana."

"Like its two sister resorts, this Spanish entry has panache, evidenced in its lobby, an artistic showpiece, and it's one of the better values among Punta Cana properties."
