"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." Full review
Star Service "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." Full review

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.
Star Service "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." Full review
Fodor's "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." Full review

Star Service "It features a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course; a 48,000-sq-ft casino; 65,000 sq ft of conference and event space; and a casino with 457 slots, 40 gaming tables, a poker room and a VIP lounge." Full review
Fodor's "Hard Rock's first all-inclusive property has its own unique identity, different from any other Dominican resort, and it's a great choice if you want nightlife and a busy, fun atmosphere." Full review

The oversized rooms and suites are deluxe, but you need to decide if you’d prefer to be where the action is—closer to reception, restaurants, and the casino—or you could choose to be closer to the beach, rooms like a three-bedroom, rock star suite overlooking the Caribbean.
