Description
Boasting the best location on Bavaro Beach, the Resort is adjacent to Iberostar Punta Cana and facilities of both are offered to all guests at either hotel. Double your pleasure! More restaurants and bars! Each Resort has ample for it's own hotel but gives Iberostar guests a choice and flexibility to sample all of them.
Even the two enormous pools run parallel with each other. Lagoon size, and buried in an oasis of palms. Enjoy either one!
A magnificent setting, gardens are lush and abundant. Platforms over lagoons filled with goldfish lead to restaurants for buffet and a la carte dining. And if you want to be in quick steps to the Disco which is open to all 3 hotels within the complex, the famed "Hangers," with all parts to it created from an old DC6 airplane is located at the Dominicana. As one would expect of Iberostar the decor in every part of the hotel is dazzling and whimsical, with huge artsy chandeliers, mosaics, art, statues, great iron horses - Iberostar knows how to jazz up a hotel and make it WOW!
