Melissa & Mark - Iberostar Bavaro March 3rd, 2010
-
Hi There,
We are getting married at the Iberostar Bavaro next March. We looked at all of the different resorts within Punta Cana and found this resort to have the best value. The resort is parked on a beautiful length of sand and there were lots of accommodation options for our guests to choose from. As an example, my Aunt and Uncle (without Children) may choose to stay at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro, whilst some of my friends on a tighter budget can stay at theIberostar Punta Cana or the Dominicana. We are finalizing the guest list and sending out the last of the invitations - we can't wait to be married.
The other item which drew us to this resort was the award it won from Trip Advisor for being the Best Budget Value for 2008.
Good Luck!

Melissa and Mark, Iberostar Bavaro, March 3rd, 2010

Hi there,
I am getting married at the Iberostar Bavaro next March. You are correct, there are 4 different resorts attached together - the Punta Cana, Dominican, Bavaro and the Grand Bavaro (Adults Only). I have read that if you book the Bavaro or the Grand Bavaro that you have access to all of the other resort restaurants/activities in the Punta Cana and the Dominican, but not the reverse. If you want everyone to be able to eat together and meet up, you might want to steer everyone towards the Bavaro or get them day-passes, or just have the gang meet up at the Dominican or Punta Cana restaurants instead.
If you go to the Air Transat website you will find a brochure which gives the details, look in the Dominican section - page 80/81. The four resorts all have different wedding packages, similar, but not the same. We found the best value to be the Bavaro. Air Transat gives a good group rate, $200 off each ticket - and if we book over 21 air tickets then we will get a ticket for free (not a big deal to us as the wedding party won't be that big).
Another item which steered us to the Bavaro rather than some of the other resorts in the area was that it had won an award from Budget Travel Magazine to be the "Best Value 2008". Like yourself, we wanted value for money and wanted our family members to enjoy their holiday at a good price. Please see the trip advisor link below, whilst the ratings change daily, the Iberostar Bavaro is currently the 3rd of 94 ranked punta cana resorts on the popularity index, you can read the reviews for yourself.
Also, the resort only does one wedding a day!

Hi Everyone!
My fiance and I are looking at Dreams for our wedding next year. We currently live in Houston, but are from Saint John, New Brunswick. We wonder if a July wedding in the DR will be too hot for our New Brunswick relatives?!? Any thoughts?
