Iberostar Message Board

I went to Punta Cana just last week and stayed for five days at the Iberostar Punta Cana...The Iberostar Punta Cana was extremely nice, clean and the staff were nice & friendly...So dont believe what others may say about the Iberostar Punta Cana...I ve seen the Barvero which is right next door and its a ghetto compared to the Iberostar Punta Cana...The Iberostar Punta Cana, Dominican, and Barvero are all together so you have access all three's anmenties in all three resorts...The grounds are immaculate...The beach and ocean is clean and nice...The food and bars were good..I was impressed with the Iberostar since this is my first time at their resort but will definitely go again...(Hopefully next summer)... Only recommendations I can give is stay away from the gift shop in the Barvero, they are shady and will try to lie about the dail US currency to pesos for extra cash...just stop by the hotel lobby desk, they have it posted daily what the exchange rate is...You can ususally get most of your gifts in the regulated gift shop in the Iberostar Punta Cana/Dominican hotels...There is also down the beach (and its a hike of a walk too, but scenic) a string of shack huts of gift shops that you can go and haggle for gifts...They have more of a selection than the gift shop but carry alot of the same things as well...Remember to tip the staff especially the maid well, they make very little money and do a great job...
