Out of all the resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean that I have not yet been to, the Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro in Punta Cana, DR is definitely at the top of my short list. The resort was recently rated the #7 all-inclusive resort on EARTH by TripAdvisor.com and all the feedback I have gotten from clients that I have sent here confirms that this is well deserved. The all-inclusive and adults only (18+ years only) Iberostar Grand Hotel Bavaro was built in 2008, has 260 Jacuzzi Suites, fronts the world famous Bavaro beach, has a new course on site that was designed by PB “Pete” Dye with free/reduced fees for guests, has a full service spa on site, and so much more.

Honorable mentions rounding out my short list include Jumby Bay in Antigua, the Secrets Huatulco in Huatulco, Mexico, and the Sandals Royal Bahamian on Nassau, Bahamas.
