Let me start with the elephant in the room - the entire Bavaro coast is battered by sargassum. Hotels are not really winning this battle, but it feels like Iberostar might not be even seriously trying anymore. There was about a day and a half within a week that you could actually get in the water relatively free from seaweed. It was to be somewhat expected during this time of year though. Other than that, the hotel was actually excellent. Well run, beautiful grounds, rather high standards. It won't score many points for style, but more than compensates for that with the substance. The room is very simple (see the pictures), but everything is very practical and convenient. That includes a proper bathroom door and a great shower. We were a family of three and an additional bed was already prepared for us in the room with two original doubles. Honestly, I don't remember the last time we got into a resort room where everything was just right and did not require coming back to check-in to ask for something. So kudos to Iberostar here. I also loved their reusable bottles and drinking water and ice dispensers everywhere. Given the beach situation, we spent most time at the pools and enjoyed it. The hotel seems well under capacity at this time, apart from the weekends when it does get busy. If you stay in Waves Punta Cana-Dominicana part of the complex, then this part is only really what is accessible to you. It is not very large and there are convenient covered walkways between all the living quarters, main restaurants and lobbies (which are bizarrely disjoint for what is basically the same property) . Great for both rain and midday sun. Most restaurants do not require a reservation. We only tried the Mexican one and liked it. The buffet food is quite good also. So overall this is a great resort and we had a very good vacation. Would I go back? That depends, I personally think some other hotels in the area are better value for money, and Tripadvisor's "value" rating perhaps reflects that.
