Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus

Amazing Day Pass Experience – Especially Thanks to Helena! I visited Iberostar Selection Hacienda Dominicus for a day pass four times, and every visit was a great experience. The hotel has an amazing beach, a relaxing atmosphere, and the staff is very welcoming and kind. What truly made my visits special was the manager Helena. I was traveling alone with my 2-year-old son, and when I had a small issue, she personally took care of it. Helena did everything possible to help me, and I really appreciate her support and kindness. She made me feel safe and comfortable, even while traveling alone with a toddler. I definitely recommend this hotel for a day pass or a longer stay. I will happily come back!

I have stayed at this hotel 6 times with my family. We have always had the best experience and customer service. I have even recommended this hotel to several family members and friends who became loyal guests as well.||||This time before booking (as usual) I emailed the hotel to reserve star prestige. I received an email back stating the cost and asking for my reservation number and name if I would like to go forward with the booking. I went on to make the reservation at the hotel and emailed back.||||At this point point the story changed. Once they had our money and our booking they told us they can no longer make the star prestige reservation. I tried to explain that he should have told me this BEFORE I booked the hotel (instead of confirming availability and asking if I want to go forth with the reservation). The whole reason we go to this hotel is for the star prestige. I understand that they want to prioritize members but that should have been stated instead of tricking me into a booking.||||I now have to pay a large sum of money to switch hotels. They do not care that I have been a loyal customer. They do not care that they made a mistake in offering the reservation and then went back on it.||||When I spoke to them on the phone they also confirmed I could purchase the star prestige. As soon as I made the hotel reservation they went back on their word.||||Disappointed to see such a great hotel run such shady practices.

Went twice during our trip to this hotel for a day pass and really enjoyed it both times. The hotel and grounds are beautifully maintained, nice pool and beautiful beach. Great food and drink selection, really impressed. Best thing was the staff, they were really attentive and friendly, went above and beyond!

Seaweed in Punta Cana forced us to switch to this side of the island last minute. Our good luck!! Although it is an hour drive from PUJ, it’s worth it. We did this through JB vacations. The staff, activities, beach, pools food and drink are great. Wonderful cocktails served by lovely people. plenty for kids of all ages to do, including a giant bouncy pool dome. With regards to virtually any request, we found the staff available and prompt. I have to hold back one star for the Air Conditioning in building 2. It’s virtually not functional and should be addressed. 3 nights could barely sleep. Same is not true in other buildings. Closing on an up note: the italian a la carte dinner is THE BEST all-inclusive-a-la-carte I have ever had. these are usually hopeless. But not at Iberostar Hacienda Dominicus (IHD). The food here consistently at a high level: theme nights: spanish night w/ fresh cut Jamon! DR night w chimi and mofongo bar. 24 coffee bar makes delicious iced coffees.Always plenty of shady spots by the pool and beach. The fitness center should get its own 5 Stars. Everything is clean and new. The dive center people and the catamaran crew (Pedro, Capt. Freddy & Hector) are fantastic. Great videos and wonderful attitudes. The grounds are lovely and filled w peacocks and local avian life. it’s a paradise.

This was our fifth visit to Hacienda Dominicus and eighth overall to an Iberostar resort. Once we found Iberostar, we have stayed there exclusively. We had not been to Hacienda Dominicus in a year and a half, having gone to Bavaro Suites twice during that time instead. As always, Hacienda Dominicus did not disappoint and it was great to see a lot of familiar faces! When we arrived, we were greeted by Carlos at the club concierge. He has always been great and helped out with anything we needed during the stay. Domingo, from the club, would check on us anytime he saw us around the resort. He always wanted to make sure we didn’t need anything, down to making sure we had selected a good wine for dinner. At the club bar, Florimon always greeted us with a smile and set us up with the best drinks. His whiskey sours are second to none! The beach was perfect as usual and it was great to see our friends Manuel and Carlos at the beach club bar. Their service was excellent and they were always sure to make sure there wasn’t anything we needed. Knowing we liked limoncello, they were quick to get two more bottles for us when they ran out. Our son said they made the best Bahama Mamas! The resort as a whole was second to none. The grounds are well kept and the service is great. We can not wait to take another trip back!

Skip Punta Cana!! This place is a hidden gem on the La Romana beach away from the PC crowds and Sargassum. Lots of Latin tourists (and few Americans) make this destination feel outside the normal American style AI destination. Staff was amazing, facilities in great shape (except the weather worn outdoor Pool tables and Ping Pong (just needs some TLC). Food & drink (sometimes a miss at AI) were superb! Can't say enough good things about Spiaggio restaurant Steaks. Beach was spectacular and pools clean and not crowded. No issues with beach chairs and shade!

Very good hotel at an excellent location. The race to reserve sun loungers on the beach and at the swimming pool is something that I don't like. And some fruits were missing at some bars. Besides that, the hotel is very good.

We are 4 families that came on vacation to Bayahibe in July ‘25. I wanted to give a big shootout to the people at the Prestige beach bar, beach kitchen, cafe and Star Prestige. The hotel is nice, but the true difference is made by the Dominican people that make us feel like home, always happy and giving personal service, making it a truly outstanding experience.
