About JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar - Adults Only All Inclusive Resort
At JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar, on Carretera Arena Gorda in Punta Cana, the all-inclusive stay revolves around a simple promise: you arrive, and the days arrange themselves. Only guests who are adults are welcome, and the 366 guest reviews average 9.3. Meals are served at a restaurant, a bar and a snack bar. Themed dinner nights add variety across a longer stay, and wine and champagne round out the choices. Guests following a particular diet can ask for tailored menus. For a quieter meal, order room service from the mobile app and enjoy breakfast in your room.
Daytime centers on the water. The resort is beachfront with a private beach area, where sun loungers or beach chairs and sun umbrellas are set out for you. Water sport facilities are on site for when lounging loses its appeal. Inland, there is a swimming pool, an outdoor pool and a hot tub, and a garden adds a leafy backdrop between swims. For something more energetic, the fitness center, yoga classes, other fitness classes and a tennis court with tennis equipment are all on hand.
Winding down is well covered. The spa and wellness center offers massage services and a sauna, with fitness and spa locker rooms alongside, and there is also a barber and beauty shop. Once the sun sets, the entertainment staff run evening entertainment, so dinner, a drink and a show can all happen without leaving the grounds.
The accommodations here are suites, and many categories add butler service or Grand Star service. Grand Star service adds a run of small luxuries: a personalized welcome and farewell, sparkling wine, packing and unpacking of your suitcases, breakfast in bed, an ironing service each night and rides around the complex. A concierge, a 24-hour front desk, currency exchange, free WiFi and free parking handle the practical details. This all-inclusive suits couples, friends traveling together and solo guests who want service, sea and a full agenda of things to do without the need to plan any of it.
