Iberostar Dominicana infor needed

[PJT]

I just had some friends stay at our place a couple of nights and prior to their visit with us they were at the Dominicana for two weeks. **[They do like the Dominicana, having returned there at least five times, it is a little bit more upscale from its neighboring facility, the Punta Cana, the guests have more perks, i.e. the guests at the Domincana can use all the facilities at the Punta Cana, the guests at the Punta Cana can only use the facilities at the Punta Cana.] The rooms are quite comfortable, the refigerator is stocked daily, no-charge. They like the buffet and the Mexican restaurant. One of their major discussion topics was how much food there was and how often they were filling up. They raved about some almond sweet loaf bread that was great as toast for breakfast. My perks from them was a loaf of the almond bread and about a case of Presidentes taken over time from the room stock. Regards, PJT

I have stayed at the Iberostar Dominicana three times. It is fantastic. I have also stayed in two other hotels in Bavaro and both times I popped back to look around the Iberostar and they definitely pour their profits back into the complex as each time the place has additions, improvements etc.
The Dominican people are warm and friendly. The quality of the food and the variety is great, the accommadation is of a high standard and the entertainment is varied, bars, disco and theatre. Also next door is Pacha discoteque which is open to the public.

Are you sure they didn't stay at the Iberostar Bavaro? Clients at the Bavaro can use all three properties. The Punta Cana and Dominicana share the same property, and guests can use all of the amenities at both, but not the Bavaro.

I contacted my friends, I was wrong in my interpretation of what they had previously told me, they now have set the story straight for me and for us all, I hope. The following is their response.


"There really is no difference reerks whether you stay @ the Dominicana
or the Punta Cana. They are 2 separate buildings that face each other.
All guests staying @ either place have the same options to their
restaurants, pools, snack bars, evening entertainment, etc. The cost
also is the same.

The big difference is if you stay @ BAVARO you stay in a suite rather
than just "a bedroom". Also when staying @ BAVARO you have more
speciality restaurants that Dominicana & Punta Cana guests cannot use.
And also there is a separate pool that only BAVARO guests can use. Any
guests staying @ BAVARO have privileges to use anyplace & anything on the
complete complex. Not so with guests staying @ Dominicana & Punta Cana.
It's higher priced also."

Thank you Bunny and Joe. Regards, PJT
