A group of 14 of us (age 21-74) stayed at the IFA Bavarao Beach Resort (ocean side) July 11-19 and we loved this resort! This is our seventh all-inclusive vacation together so we know what we like and we all loved this resort and had a great time. The positives are: gorgeous beach; nice pools (3); friendly staff (the dining... more

Was our first fam. vaca allof us 18 and over. First off, rooms refrig/ mini bar was not filled. We had no towels and got into a screaming match with the maids who couldn't understand our problem, then barged in our rooms thinking that we were lying. There is no american tv, you have to pay daily or weekly, also... more

My review of the IFA Bavaro Village. I will start by saying that I read all of the horrible reviews and some probably could be valid but others need to be corrected. First off, there are few employees that can speak or understand English, but being that most of the other guests were European, I understand. I do believe, however,... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at IFA Bavaro Village in January of 2008. We booked through expedia and had no troubles with vouchers for airport parking or transfer to and from the Punta Cana airport.

Do not expect to have your room cleaned... more

My adult daughter and I took our first trip to Punta Cana and stayed at the IFA Bavaro Village. I was pleased at the cleanliness and eye appeal of the resort. I would recommend learning some basic Spanish for communication. I found the staff to be very friendly. The beds/pillows were very comfortable. Our air conditioning was not working properly... more

I stayed at the IFA Village from May5-May12 for an inexpensive relaxing getaway. This was my fifth time to the DR and I've stayed at countless other places. I read all of the reviews before I left so I had a good understanding of what to expect. I have a physical disability that limits my walking ability so I figured... more

Hello, We are from Montreal (in our early 50s) and we just came back from a 6 days/nights vacation at IFA-Bavaro Ocean (beginning of April-May, 2008). I believe we are advised travelers (Mexico Riviera Maya: Bahia, Palladium, Puerto Vallarta, Cuba: twice, Panama, Costa Rica, Margareta…) and we have a good perception of what 4 stars should cost and offer in... more
