Like its two sister resorts, this Spanish doña has panache, evidenced in its lobby, an artistic showpiece. It's one of the more desirable Punta Cana properties, though not one of the newest, and a good value. The dramatic public spaces segue into grounds crisscrossed with lagoons that lead to a broad, beautifully maintained white-sand beach. Although rooms don't compare with the public spaces, the Bávaro's are the sweetest (and most expensive), with a separate sitting area. True to Iberostar's emphasis on quality food and beverages, there are 11 restaurants, including Cajun and gourmet dining rooms. The shows are better than the norm, with house dancers, a band, and vocalists. The Iberostar Punta Cana and Iberostar Dominicana share facilities in the complex, but only guests at the more expensive Bávaro can dine at that resort's restaurants. Pros: Variety of good dining options, fun entertainment, dramatic lobby and grounds. Cons: Not singles-oriented, no Internet access in rooms.
