Hotel: Iberostar Bavaro

In Budget Travel magazine's Best Values 2008 issue, the Iberostar Bavaro was the highest rated Caribbean resort, and number four in the world. And no wonder, considering the resort's outstanding facilities and service, and very reasonable rates. Suites at the Iberostar Bavaro are spacious, most with separate living area and high sloped ceilings, and feature bright cheerful d�cor. All have a balcony or terrace, as well as standard amenities like air conditioning, in-room safe, and hair-dryer. The grounds are home to flamingos, peacocks, and other birds, and are dotted with tall coconut trees, including on the artificial island in the resort's large pool. The beach area is spacious and beautiful, with deep powdery sand and plenty of loungers and umbrellas (and more coconut trees). And because there are sister resorts on either side (whose facilities are open to all Iberostar guests), you can take long strolls and break wherever you fancy, without worrying about having wandered

And because there are sister resorts on either side (whose facilities are open to all Iberostar guests), you can take long strolls and break wherever you fancy, without worrying about having wandered onto another resort's property. The resort has kayaks, windsurfing equipment, and snorkeling gear available at no charge, and there's a full-service dive shop on site. At night, be sure to check out the resort's disco, even if you don't plan to stay; the remains of a plane that crashed nearby have been incorporated into the d�cor, including the huge cockpit and front landing gear. In fact, you'll spot plenty of unique decorations throughout the property, like a huge dinosaur skeleton mounted on the wall in the buffet area. Dining options at Iberostar Bavaro are above average by AI resort standards, and service is friendly and prompt.
