RD no se olvida

Joseph I (Houston, Texas) on May 11, 2025

Everything was amazing, from the moment we got there till the moment we left, staff were attentive and helpful at all times. From Margarita the beautiful and sweet lady that cleaned our room, Angelica the lady at the coral beach bar that made me around 40 tequila shots throughout my stay, Glady's la dura de Los masajes that restarted my life with a 50 min massage by the beach, to the shuttles guys, security guys. Everyone was nice, attentive and respectful. Food was great and the little activities they had on different days were also a highlight, will definely come back.

Dominican Paradise

Jose arias Our stay at the Iberostar Selection Coral Bávaro to celebrate our honeymoon was exceptional. We didn’t spend much time inside it, but our villa was lovely and the housekeeping staff surprised us with lovely designs on our bed everyday made with palms and flowers from right outside our door. They were very creative and I wish I could name them here but we never crossed paths. Our personal concierge, Samuel Avelino, was attentive and helpful and we appreciated his check ins to be sure everything was going smoothly. He made sure to have champagne sent to our villa on my husband’s birthday too. We loved our time in the Star Prestige beach area. Jose Arias provided great and friendly beach service always making sure we had drinks in our hands. We enjoyed the food and there are so many options to eat from various buffets to a la carte restaurants. Our favorite dinner was at the Gala night at El Faro. There appeared to be a lot of management in attendance and they made sure everything was delicious and running smoothly. We were thrilled with this being our last dinner at the resort and it was complete with a violinist for entertainment while enjoying our food. We are already talking about our next trip back!

Staff make ALL the difference!

The people make all the difference here! Luis, Jose and Zulekia are the most attentive to every detail! Scheduling the best dinners, our massages, with our favorites Marisol and Cleo; they are the best! We come here each holiday because they make us feel like family! Gracias! Until November…

Just okay.

April W on Apr 24, 2025

The good— the resort grounds are well maintained, the rooms were large and clean, it was easy to get around the massive resort with the plentiful golf cart service and the food was very good for an AI. The bad— with the exception of the house keeping services, most customer service was awful. A bartender at the Coral beach bar rolled his eyes at my friend because she didn’t order her frozen drink at the same time I did and he had to make another. The concierges at the Coral level were very unhelpful and unpleasant, except for the woman I met upon check out. Restaurant staff were only friendly on the day they were doing guest surveys in the restaurant where they begged for five star reviews. Shows were not as good as some I’ve seen at other resorts and there was not a lot of other activities happening, even though they were listed in the app. Our kids had a great time, and the good parts made for an overall enjoyable trip, but with the service we received we won’t be back. I’m kind of surprised at all of the positive reviews considering our experience.

The best

Renata Z on Apr 20, 2025

Truly Exceptional! Working in hospitality, I’m usually very critical and notice every detail—but this resort truly impressed me. The service was outstanding, the room spotless and beautifully maintained, and every aspect of the experience was flawless. It’s by far the best place I’ve ever stayed. Highly recommend! Food was delicious.
