My partner and I truly LOVED this resort. Staff were very warm and kind and very professional! Rooms are exceptionally clean and they were cleaned daily! The food at this resort was sooo delicious as well. I was a bit skeptical about the food just because I didn’t have a good experience with the food at a resort in Mexico however Dominican Republic/ Joia Resort is a 10 out of 10 in my book! I will be returning!

The JOIA was exactly what my husband and I were looking for to celebrate our anniversary. The service was outstanding and the quality of the food was fabulous at each restaurant. We opted for the butler service with our room and Jesus and Reynaldo made our trip an over-the-top experience. Highly recommend the JOIA.

We had a wonderful stay at Joia Bavaro by Iberostar. This hotel is adults only. The food was delicious and varied, with a great selection of fresh seafood, which was a big highlight for us. The staff were absolutely amazing — very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We had our personal butlers Danilo and Edward. They helped us with all our questions . Our room was beautiful, cozy, and very comfortable. Huge balcony with a lake view was amazing! We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again! Highly recommend !

This was a great place to stay. The resort was very clean, the room was spacious, beds and pillows super comfortable. The outdoors theme was tropical lush landscaping surrounded by pools. The specialty restaurants were good and all inclusive. The entertainment and staff were spectacular very courteous and kind. The food quality was excellent along with the all inclusive spirits. Highly recommend this adult only resort. My husband and I will definitely return as early as next year.

This resort is definitely 5 stars—without hesitation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ They do their very best to remove the seagrass early each morning, but that’s simply Mother Nature, and there’s only so much they can do. The pools are beautiful and exceptionally clean. The entertainment team is wonderful, and the nightly shows are always great! We also have absolutely no complaints about the food or the restaurants. Everything has been a wonderful experience! This is our second stay at the resort, and we would happily return again! ❤️🌴

This was the best experience ever primarily because of the staff. They would trip over each other to wait on a visitor. So happy to take care of the guests. I want to thank the staff for making our vacation so special. As a second, this place is beautiful. So well maintained. So clean everywhere you looked. And third, every restaurant was so good. Food was fresh and served hot. We wished we could’ve stayed there longer.

This resort is impeccable. From the front lobby and entry to the beaches at the back. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always seem to be glad to play their part in making sure your vacation is perfect. We have been to JOIA multiple times and continue to rave about what an incredible experience we have every time. Everything is always clean. The food is always amazing, the drinks are always delicious, and we always have everything we need right there on the resort to ensure our vacation is relaxing and memorable. I would highly recommend this resort to any adults looking for a laid back, but amenity rich vacation. They have entertainment planned for every part of the day, though we spent most of our time lounging by the pools with staff passing by regularly to refill our drinks or fetch us lunch. With a multitude of restaurants and a 24hr room service, you will never go hungry. The spa needs a 5 star review as well. Cannot say enough about the entirety of this resort. In one word, Impeccable.
