The speciality restaurant situation was a little different at this resort. Would you prefer making reservations to ensure you can eat at the restaurants you want to? Or do you like the idea of not needing reservations but showing up early to get your name on a list?
Thank you for making this video. Very well done. We enjoyed the dining but had a similar experience at the steak house which we didn’t really appreciate. Looking forward to future Iberostar videos
Thank you so much for watching them! We really appreciate it and are glad you enjoy them. Sorry to hear that you had a similar experience at the steakhouse though. It was a bit disappointing.
Our pleasure, David! There's so many all inclusive resorts in Punta Cana it can be overwhelming choosing between them all, so we really hope our content helps!
Not sure about the kid friendly meals. We didn't see many children in the Coral area at all, and don't think they seem to cater to children too much. Salt and Soul was mostly seafood, but I do believe they had a few alternative options. I don't recall seeing any fresh coconut drinks.
Do men need to wear a jacket and pants at the specialty restaurant? I saw on their site something of a dress code for men needing a jacket and pants . Please let us know thanks.
@Explorcation I can't understand why they wouldn't have said something instead of just making that substitution on you...just seemed so out of character for the place.
With one exception, I have never been impressed with the food at any Punta Cana resort. And I have been to Iberostar and thought it was very mediocre. But that was a few years ago. Maybe things are better now.
We'd be interested to know what you think of the food at the specialty restaurant in the Coral level of the resort. That was by far our favorite restaurant, and we thought it was great. If you don't mind me asking, what was the one exception (the food that did impress you) at a Punta Cana resort?
We have received many comments over the years regarding our good looks, but ALL of those have been directed towards Jamie until now. I'll be sure to print out this comment, frame it, and hang it on our wall. 😂 In all seriousness, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
"Be cautious about these reviews." IBEROSTAR PAID FOR THESE VIDEOS TO MAKE THEM LOOK GOOD. I have stayed at Ibrostar Resorts in Mexico and Punta Cana while holding the IHG Diamond Elite level. I have had bad service from both bartenders and restaurant waiters. The food was terrible and I got diarrhea.
100% inaccurate. We received no payment from Iberostar and we paid full price for our stay. Given how inaccurate the first part of your comment is, we can't help but wonder if the second part is made up as well.

@@Explorcation more shots of her bare feet please ❤️
That first dinner...wow!
Right? If we went back we would book Coral and probably eat there every night!
Great video guys!
Thank you so much!
I enjoyed this video...
The food looks fabulous and you both looked happy- very nice...Thanks for sharing🎉😊
We're really glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! We really appreciate it.
We enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure, Sol!
It all looks delicious and what a clean presentation especially for buffets
This place was definitely on another level!
That first buffet looked amazing
We were so impressed 😁

Thank you for sharing, we have been looking for a all inclusive resort for those of us in our 70's, that do not walk well in our days!

Timing is everything at a buffet for sure
I want all the food hehe.
Us too!
I love mofongo!
Hello, we are looking to book here. Do you know how to guarantee (2) beds vs a king? Is there a murphey bed option?
Holaaa, habian opciones veganas en zona de snack y helados?? Saludos!!
Are there many kid friendly meals at coral? The salty & sour is that just seafood? Any fresh coconut drinks at coral?

@ no buffet at l dinner ?

So where did you get your price ?
Directly on the hotel website.
That Steakhouse experience does seem a bit odd.
It was! We would have much preferred they just let us know they were out of Prime Rib 🫤

Checked prices online. Your price quote of 130 a day per person. A deal ! Online was 458. Cheapest room per night 2 ppl
They traveled during slow season (September-October). Prices now are up as the Caribbean enters its peak season
You beat us to it. Pretty much exactly how we would have responded.
We believe it Mark. JMNihon's response is spot on.

A little deceiving on the dinner rules...
Yes, what we were told upon check in sounded great, but we soon learned it was too good to be true 😆
@Explorcation there's always something it seems. Still...nice of you to make people aware of those type of things in advance!
