Jul 01, 2025Can’t wait to return!
Jose and Ray are THE BEST butlers! They made our trip extra special by taking care of all of our requests, no matter how big or small. They even surprised us by decorating the room for our birthdays. Truly a special team! Pedro , our Concierge, provided great information about the resort and made us feel welcome upon our arrival.

Beyond Expectations!
My husband I spent one week from June 7 to 14th at the Joia Bavara by Iberostar and it was beyond our expectations. Everything from the hotel staff, the resort itself, the food, the alcohol selection, the restaurants, pool, the beach. I could go on and on. Everything was perfect. I celebrated my 60th birthday there and had champagne and a lovely cake waiting for us in our room. After finding this all inclusive resort; we truly wouldn't look anywhere else. The staff work very hard to make your experience exceptional. Our room faced the lobby / lake area and we were on the 4th floor. We could see the ocean as well. It was perfect. We spent most of the day on the beach; very easy to get a palapa on the beach at anytime. Was very surprised we had beach service as we did not upgrade to have that. It was a lovely touch. At the end of the day we would make our way to the pool. We could find a cabana around 3:30 and we were fine with that. We aren't pool people. If you are; you need to be down at the pool by 6:00 / 6:30 or you won't get covering. The food as I mentioned above was out of this world. Not one bad meal. It is a smaller resort so you aren't dealing with a thousand guests; half of that amount and it was a perfect size for us; easy to get around; so convenient. There is a great coffee shop there; definitely don't miss that. At this time of year there was sargassum; the workers cleaned it each day to the best of their ability. Mother Nature is a force. We still went in the ocean most days; there was one day where it was not desirable to do so, but this is absolutely not a poor reflection on the resort whatsoever. If you don't want to experience this - don't go in the summer. We cannot say enough about our experience here and we will without a doubt be back next year. Thank you to all who go above and beyond to make the experience so beautiful for your guests.
