Bravo Bavero
Debbie W on Dec 20, 2025
Last three years have been to Joia Jamaica Joia Mexico Joia Bavero (currently) Thoughts on Joia Bavero Great beach. AMAZING Staff. Food - Average - Not a buffet fan but buffet better than the a la cartes at this resort. Rooms slightly on the small side, but kept clean and comfortable. Resort is a bit dated but we can see lots of improvement being done. Drinks good, nice barware. Beach service exceptional, friendly and efficient. Butler service friendly but not needed in our opinion. Entertainment staff work very hard and are very, very sweet. *The worst part of this vacation is the relentless sales pitch from the concierges ( multiple) To the point that you have to go out of your way to avoid them. HUGE let down in our vacation experience. Not a knock on the staff, I know they are told to do this but offer once on check in and leave your guests alone to enjoy what they paid good money for, rest and relaxation. IMHO Joia resort ranking Mexico Bavero Jamaica
Best of everything in Punta Cana! You can't do any better!

This was our 8th visit to the best all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana. The hotel is wonderful, the beach is amazing, the food is great, but it's the staff that keeps us returning year after year! It begins with Luis and his front desk staff ensuring you have the best room for your stay. We absolutely love the fact that year after year we can count on seeing our favorite wait staff including Ramona and Samuel. They are the best in the resort and remember exactly what we like and are always happy to see us! Altagracia makes the best omelets and eggs for breakfast and remembers exactly what you order every day! Our butler Houston took care of any requests we had and always made sure we were happy and satisfied. Diana has been cleaning our room for years and is efficient, timely, and makes sure we have all the towels and everything we need in the room! If you are going to Punta Cana, you need to stay at JOIA Bavaro! Enjoy!
