Our stay at JOIA Grand Bávaro was exceptional. Everything from our arrival, stay throughout the week, and departure went smoothly. The staff were friendly, and the room was cleaned well daily. Beach was beautiful, and the spa was a nice experience. The variety of food was great too. Dining options were the best compared with other all inclusive resorts I have visited. Our stay was relaxing and wonderful.

This a beach hotel, but beach is plenty of sargasso. Around 1.5 mts. Rotten with a terrible smell. I understand that is something out of the control of the staff of the hotel. But to accumulate that amout the hotel didn't clean the beach for days. I called before reserve asking for the sargasso problem. The person that answer said was just a little, false it is a huge problem that the hotel dont try to solve. We paid for a beach hotel, this a hotel with no beach.

Everything here is amazing. Food is pretty good for an all inclusive. Staff is super friendly. Only complaint is they try to get you a “Free couples massage” but they didn’t tell me they were taking us to the golf course office to give us a 90 minute sales pitch for a timeshare. Manager dismissed us very quickly when we told him we were not aware or interested. The concierge wanted a commission, simple as that. Everything else was great so we overlooked it but beware!
