Customer Ratings & Reviews

  Exceptional couples getaway

  Six days and five nights was the perfect getaway for my husband and me. We had a swim out room which included butler service. Houston and Armando were exceptional, they went above and beyond helping us with everything- I have food allergies and they were super communicative with the restaurants to make sure I was safe. They also set up our room with jacuzzi and bubbles while we were out at dinner. They had a WhatsApp message that was super helpful each day to let us know what was going on in the hotel. Their service was an important part of our relaxing stay and we are already looking forward to coming back.

  Great Stay Once Again!

  The resort is not new but extremely well maintained. The staff were extremely friendly and eager to please. We are returning guests like many others. The property is safe and secure. Our butler Danilo was absolutely outstanding. He was available with instant support for our every request from morning through night. Simply amazing!

  Love our Butlers!!

  Armando and Houston were our butlers while at Joia Bavaro. They went above and beyond to give us the best vacation experience!! From stocking the fridge with our favorite beverages to drawing a bath for me at the end of our day to help relax. We can't wait to come back next year!

  Great Adult all inclusive

  Great Option for Adults Only all inclusive. Very clean. Food quality overall was very good. Some food at Buffett was a bit stale at times. Golf course communication with resorts on pricing should be more consistent. Concierge Walesca and Sonny were very kind, helpful and accommodating especially when navigating food allergies in restaurants and keeping mini bars stocked. Be prepared to get up by 7 am to get a cabana at the pool. Also bring about 100-200 in small bills to tip the staff. We never left the resort property. Plenty to do at this location within all 5 resorts.

  Spectacular Resort

  Our stay at JOIA Bávaro was wonderful as always. This was my third trip to this wonderful resort. My husband and I prefer to lounge under a palapas on the beach rather than hang by the pool. The ocean is gorgeous, and you could walk for miles in either direction. (And when you do, you’ll note the JOIA is without a doubt, the most glamorous resort.) There is an old world feel to the guest rooms. The bathrooms could be improved with some updating, but the bedrooms are generous in size with a comfortable bed and spacious balcony. Food at the buffets and restaurants are very good too. It’s especially pleasant to enjoy dinner at one of the restaurant’s outdoor patios. The staff at the hotel could not be more helpful and gracious. I’d like to especially praise Ortiz and Juan at the Bella Vista buffet, and Oscar who serves primarily at La Perla buffet, but also can be found at the restaurants at night. Oscar is, in my opinion, the best bartender on site as well. At the spa, Evelyn gave me the absolute best 80 minute massage. I will definitely request her service the next time I go. And lastly, the vacation would not have been so memorable without the services of Eduardo, the premier butler at the resort. His attentiveness and kindness is so appreciated, making our experience at the resort the best we could hope for.
