“Schöne Anlage, verschiedene Pools (auch noch ein separater Kinderpool) und es gab immer irgendwo noch Platz am Pool. Tolle Restaurants, vor allem das "El Faro". Klein und fein und super nette und freundliche Bedienung. Das Essen war auch immer hervorragend. Tolle Unterhaltung des Animationsteams, vor allem "Fresa" mit ihrer herzlichen Art.”
Excelente local para descansar e aproveitar dias de praia em família, com ótimo serviço e estrutura

“O hotel tem uma estrutura a atmosfera excelente, com diversas opções de restaurantes e atividades. O estilo também é aconchegante pelo estilo de acomodações espalhadas em pequenas "casas" de até dois andares. Os quartos são amplos e bem cômodos. A qualidade dos itens incluídos no all inclusive é excelente e o hotel é uma excelente opção para descanso em família.
O serviço na praia e no quarto (room service) é excelente, e a comodidade de utilizar o aplicativo para poder fazer pedidos é excelente. O hotel é muito bem organizado e bem localizado em uma região muito bonita de Bavaro / Arena Gorda.
Apesar do sargasso estar presente ficou claro que o Iberostar fazia uma manutenção superior aos demais resorts ao lado da sua praia e somente um dia as condições do marca não estavam ideais. Ou seja, o Iberostar se esforça muito para controlar o sargasso nessa época, permitindo que mesmo em momentos com o aumento da quantidade seja possível usufruir da praia.”

“Iberostar Selection Coral Bavaro is excellent, our room was spotless everyday thank you to our fantastic cleaners Josie and Milena, the food was incredible in all of the restaurants including the buffet (El Faro) where the team were really welcoming. Just a really great stay at a relaxing resort with a really friendly team working here.”
Amazing Family Vacation

“This was one of the most amazing resorts I’ve had the pleasure of visiting! We were there 7 days and it was like a slice of heaven. The workers put in extra effort to make sure you feel valued and special. Alphonso is the only name I remember and immediately addressed the one issue we had. The food was fantastic! My son celebrated his 23rd birthday there and seemingly, found his future wife 😂. Everything was so perfect, we booked to come back next month for my birthday. We will be staying at the JOIA this time. 5 Star everything at IBEROSTAR Selection Coral.”

“Our group of 13 arrived at the resort on July 17th. From the moment our feet touched the ground at this incredible place, until we said our final goodbyes we were LOVED!
Ramos was our first point of contact. He welcomed us and escorted us to a place to wait in the shade while our luggage was being unloaded by the airport transport driver.. The main lobby was beautiful with its serene island colors and copper accents; visually, it was simply stunning! We were very warmly greeted by the other resort staff in the main lobby and were pleased to have cold fruit infused water at the ready. 3 separate golf carts were waiting for us within 5 minutes to take us to the ‘Inner Sanctum’ (my term for check-in).
Francé (I may not have the correct spelling of his name, and if I don’t, please forgive me), was My Husband’s and my transport there (and he continued to be our transport at various times throughout our stay). Before we entered check-in, we were offered cool cloths and water and invited to sit down while everything was being finalized. Alphonso enthusiastically welcomed us and proceeded to get each room assignment and keys for each of our 5 families. From there Francé drove us to our room, carried all of our luggage upstairs in one trip (!!) and wished us a great stay…
And it was! EVERYONE we came in contact with was exceptional! From Faro restaurant and bar staff (Kelvin, Ismeal, Frances, Dioris, Yomairy, Julia, Emelio, Akeny (Justin Beeber 😉) and Ramirez to Seferino (our exuberant Main Lobby amigo), Said and John (Assistant General Managers)! There was no opportunity missed to have lively conversation and lots of laughs with these folks! We always looked forward to seeing them and we always felt the same coming from them.
Our housekeeper, Marhta, was so kind, warm and extremely accommodating. We had a minor issue in our room upon check in and she immediately resolved it!
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Frantz, the young man my Husband and I saw our second morning on our way to the beach. We greeted him as he was harvesting coconuts from one of the many trees on the resort. He offered us each one that he skillfully hacked open and shaved so that we had the perfect drinking vessel to enjoy the thirst quenching nectar. Each day after when he saw us, he’d tell us what time he’d be at our room and was there with two coconuts…THIS is just one example of the level of care we received daily during our stay.
To say this resort is EXPERTLY well run is an understatement. The level of organization is unmatched. When one meal was over, like clockwork the entire staff falls into position to breakdown everything that’s been displayed to make room for what’s to come. To see how efficiently everyone works is like watching a masterful concerto…it’s THAT divine.
As much and as hard as they work, we NEVER felt that anyone was nothing more than honored to serve us, and because of this, we tipped extremely well and made great connections.
This resort owes us NOTHING! It gave us everything we were hoping to receive during our vacation and more! In closing, I’d like to give a shoutout to one of the security personnel. I never asked his name and I sincerely wish I had. He stood proudly just to the left of the road leading from the Main Lobby to the resort grounds. We saw him our second morning during our walk. We waved and as he walked towards us to greet us he had the most INCREDIBLE smile… Nuestro amigo con la hermosa sonrisa…he has blue/green braces and could very easily be a spokes person for an Orthodontist. Should you see him, tell him his American friends say ¡Hola!❣️”

A special thank you to Gheremy, who truly made our stay even more enjoyable. He was always kind, attentive, and ready to help with anything we needed. His outstanding customer service is one of the reasons we keep coming back year after year.

“This is an amazing resort with beautiful grounds, great restaurants, amazing entertainment, a beautiful beach and wonderful pools. The main pool area is loads of fun with activities, music, and snack bars. The staff throughout the resort are amazing, and a special shout out to Eric and Eduardo at the Coral Check-In Desk - they are so friendly and helpful. The Magic Show and the Acrobats were fantastic!! My one complaint would be the concierge Diana that I was assigned to. I wish I had just been able to see Eduardo or Eric for reservations. Diana kept trying to push a breakfast on me and my husband even after we told her we were not interested. (I knew it would be a sales pitch and wanted no part of it). She told us that she does not get a paycheck and needs us to go to the breakfast in order for her to get commission. She said "don't go for you, go for me". Really? We were expected to take time our of our vacation to go to a place we did not want to go to, so that she can get paid? Outrageous! I considered dropping a star in my rating due to this aggravation (nobody wants to be pressured on a vacation!) but it would not be fair to all the other employees who are the best. So my advice to those who are planning a trip: Deal directly with Eduardo and Eric or any of the front desk staff and your stay will be one you will never forget. It really is an amazing place. And take the half day Monkey Tour while you are there!”

Disappointing Experience at Coral Level Despite Longtime Loyalty
4/10
MatthewC713 · Friends getaway · 2026-04-12
“I’ve stayed at the Iberostar Joia next door more than 20 times—I visit at least once a year, sometimes multiple times—and over the years I’ve brought more and more friends along. This was our first trip traveling with teenagers, so we decided to try the Coral Level resort since we are Iberostar Club members and many of the benefits apply there. This was also our final year of a short trial membership.
We booked six rooms for this trip, and unfortunately, five of them had issues at check-in. One family’s room was completely mixed up, another couple did not receive the king room they had specifically requested and were placed in a double instead, despite selecting their room category and location in advance. They were told they might be able to move in a day or two, but their teenage children’s room couldn’t be relocated, meaning the kids would have been separated from their parents.
Another couple sharing a room with their daughter never received sheets for the pull-out bed. Despite multiple calls and messages—and being told repeatedly that someone was on the way—no one ever came for the entire stay. They ultimately had to get sheets from another room themselves.
We arrived a bit early, but check-in took an extremely long time, and we didn’t get into our rooms until more than an hour after the official check-in time. This was largely due to the room mix-ups, along with repeated attempts to have us book excursions and attend a membership renewal meeting.
Given how poorly the room situation was handled, we canceled the membership meeting altogether and decided not to renew. We had actually been considering upgrading, but this experience made that decision easy.
Once we made it clear that we would not be renewing our membership, we never saw our assigned representative again for the rest of the trip.
The resort itself is large and takes some time to get used to. I did enjoy many of the restaurants, and the service at most of them was very good. However, room service was disappointing, with limited options compared to other Iberostar properties I’ve visited.
On a positive note, our housekeeper Daisy was excellent—the best part of our stay. She was attentive, friendly, and truly stood out.
I also wish there was some sort of rewards or recognition program that acknowledged returning members who have stayed many times and spent a significant amount of money with the brand. Given the number of visits we’ve made and the fact that we were up for renewal, I would have expected a much stronger effort to resolve the issues and retain our business.
Overall, this was a disappointing experience, especially compared to the stays I’ve had at Iberostar Joia. While I still enjoy the Joia resort, I will likely start exploring other resort options that offer a better overall experience for families.”
