The Iberostar Waves Punta Cana is a popular all-inclusive resort located directly on Bavaro Beach in the Dominican Republic. Designed for couples and families with children, this upscale resort is the perfect choice for your next Caribbean getaway! Stroll hand-in-hand along the white-sand beach, lined with palapas and lounge chairs, and breathe in the invigorating sea air. Cool off in one of the expansive pools surrounded by immaculate gardens or sip a tropical drink while soaking up the sun! The resort features a casino, a spa, and a renowned 18-hole golf course on-site, and horseback riding is available nearby (fees apply). Your taste buds will enjoy a delicious culinary experience thanks to several themed restaurants offering exclusive specialties and numerous bars serving refreshing cocktails and gourmet snacks!

The energetic entertainment team organizes fun activities throughout the day! Boost your endorphins with a pool aerobics class, play bingo, or enjoy a friendly game of beach volleyball.

Many non-motorized water sports are included, such as kayaking, windsurfing, and an introductory scuba diving lesson in the pool. Be sure to visit the resort's coral lab; you'll learn about local coral species and how to protect these ecosystems.

Parents can get together for a game of darts or target practice while the kids have hours of fun at the Mini Club (ages 4-12) and Teen Club (ages 13-15). In addition to a program packed with entertaining activities, younger guests have access to a playground, a children's pool, and even a mini-disco where they can dance the night away! Every evening, the entertainment team puts on captivating shows for both children and adults. Unleash your inner child by watching a magic or juggling act, or groove to the rhythms of the Caribbean with a music or dance performance, before retiring to your spacious room for a good night's sleep.

Perfect vacation with friends and family!
Vacances parfaites entre amis et famille!

Everything was perfect! The buffets were very good and varied, as were the activities. We would have liked volleyball at the pool, but there was volleyball available at the beach. There were no bars at the pools, but they were very close. The beach is very long, beautiful, and wide. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable. A place worth discovering!

Tout était parfait! Les buffets sont très bons et variés, les activités aussi. Nous aurions aimé du volleyball à la piscine mais il y en avait à la plage. Aucun bar dans les piscines mais ils sont très près.
La plage est très longue, très belle, très large.
La propreté des lieux est irréprochable.
Une place à découvrir!

Trip in August 2025 - Disappointment
Voyage en aout 2025 - Déception

Aside from the fact that there is an abundance of seaweed, which we were aware of, I am a bit disappointed with the IBEROSTAR Wave Punta Cana. The beach is beautiful, there are plenty of palapas. The site and the rooms are very clean. However, the quality of the food (6/10) leaves something to be desired and the courtesy of the hosts is truly pathetic (5/10). On the other hand, the "Star Rock Café" and "La Sibila" restaurants are a completely different story (10/10). I no longer plan to go to the IBEROSTAT resort. In Punta Cana, the Grand Bavaro Princes is much better. Each to their own.

Outre le fait qu'il y abondance d'algues et dont nous étions au courant, un peu de déception à l'égard d'IBEROSTAR Wave Punta Cana. La plage est belle, il y a amplement de palapas. Le site et les chambres sont très propres. Cependant, la qualité de la nourriture (6/10) laisse à désirer et le la courtoisie des hôtes est réellement pathétique (5/10). Par contre, pour les restaurants "Star Rock Café" et "La Sibila", c'est réellement une réalité complètement différente (10/10). Je n'envisage plus aller dans le ressort IBEROSTAT. À Punta Cana, Grand Bavaro Princes est nettement mieux. Chacun ses goûts

Super overall
Super en general

There was a bit of a lack of guided tours at first, but otherwise, it's generally perfect for families. There is no alcohol in the rooms other than canned beer. There are soft drinks but no juice in the rooms.

Il manquait un peu de visite guider au début mais autrement en général c'est parfait pour y aller en famille. Il n'y a pas d'alcool dans les chambres autre que bière en canette. Il y a des liqueurs mais pas de jus dans les chambres.
