Five-star amenities and well-manicured grounds at an all-inclusive, adults-only resort overlooking the surf on Bavaro Beach
Check in at this adults-only resort for an all-inclusive experience catering to a more sophisticated crowd with five-star amenities and umpteen activities on Punta Cana’s Bavaro Beach. You’ll be in awe of the manicured lawns and pool areas throughout the resort, including large open-air corridors and lobbies supported by artful columns and surrounded with tropical foliage. The resort itself is a masterpiece with two lake pools, one with a swim-up bar, the other for lounging, as well as two open-air jacuzzis, access to a white strip of beach lined with straw umbrellas and a spa and fitness center that meets all of your wellness needs.
Rooms at this Iberostar resort are equally glamorous, with marble floors and luxe decor. Suite options include a grand seaside view, or a swim-up pool, so you can take a dip right from your patio. The 272 guest rooms are both luxurious and equipped well beyond the basics, with Jacuzzis for two, marble baths and a 24-hour concierge.
Dine at one of five restaurants serving up Italian, Japanese and gourmet fare. There’s also an entire restaurant dedicated entirely to surf & turf, for those who can’t quite decide. For easy dining with plenty of choices, there are two buffets on site, as well as 24-hour room service and four bars and lounge areas.
Make the most of your beach vacation with the resort’s numerous onsite activities and amenities available to guests. From tennis to catamaran-sailing and windsurfing, you’ll enjoy the best of sun and surf in the Dominican Republic during your stay at Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro. Be sure to check with the concierge as some activities, including golf, are extra for all-inclusive guests.
Punta Cana is the ultimate beach vacation setting in the Dominican Republic. Set on the east coast, this resort town is renowned for stunning beaches, expansive hotels and resorts, and world-class golf courses. For sun seekers, Bavaro Beach attracts mostly sunbathers in need of R&R, families find peace of mind at the more calm Arena Gorda Beach, while surfers rip through the waves to the north at Macao Beach.
Due to its surroundings, Punta Cana is a favorite for snorkeling, diving and boating. For those willing to make just a forty-minute drive from the resort, Hoyo Azul Lagoon makes for a magical trip. Take a dip in the crystal clear water of a mythical cenote in the heart of Punta Cana. More of a landlubber? Make the most of the stunning landscape and zipline above a tropical rainforest.
Not too far from the upscale Punta Cana, you’ll find the relaxed Island of Saona and Catalina; both are just day trips from Punta Cana. The capital, Santo Domingo, is just a couple hours away and makes for a cultural trip filled with history, delicious food and even some natural wonders.
