Stop looking for the perfect adults only resort. You have found it. Excellent food, drinks, service, amenities. They effortless make your stay the best experience.
It was very nice. Beach service could use some tweaking as it was pretty few and far between. The full court press to join the vacation club was pretty bad though.
Great service, amazing beach and the food was better than most all inclusives I’ve been to

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were outstanding. Altagracia at the buffet is a lovely and kind woman. Ery and his colleagues at the bar by the pool were very welcoming. The property is a bit quiet, but that’s what I wanted for my trip. A wonderful vacation.
Amazing hotel. Every thing is perfect!! A paradise. But the people and their kindness is the best. I must congratulate also the level of the circus artist. wonderful!!
This place surpassed our expectations, but what really made the difference was the staff. We celebrated my wife's birthday, we weren't expecting anything special from anyone but to our surprise there was a birthday cake and a bottle of champagne waiting for us in our room. Everyone from the receptionist to the waitress were just absolutely friendly and always asked if they could do anything for us. This place is just remarkable.
My stay at JOIA Bávaro by Iberostar was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The level of service, hospitality, and attention to detail truly made this a five-star experience.
A special thank you to Gilbert at the front desk, who was extremely professional, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything we needed. He made the check-in process smooth and ensured we felt valued throughout our stay.
I also want to recognize our butlers, Coffee and Ronaldo, who went above and beyond every single day. Their attentiveness, kindness, and dedication made our vacation even more relaxing and memorable. They anticipated our needs before we even had to ask and provided exceptional service with a smile.
Another special thank you to Jose at the buffet, who provided outstanding service during our meals. He was friendly, attentive, and always made us feel welcome with his positive attitude and excellent hospitality.
The resort itself was beautiful, clean, luxurious, and well-maintained, with amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere. I would highly recommend JOIA Iberostar to anyone looking for a relaxing and truly first-class vacation experience. I cannot wait to return!
