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

I'll start by saying that I have lived in and travelled often to the Dominican Republic. I have stayed in local homes; 2 star hotels; and 4 start resorts. My experience at the IFA Bavaro Village failed to meet any of my Dominican expectations. First the staff. With few notable exceptions, most of the staff members looked unhappy and unfriendly.... more

I would not recommend IFA Bavaro Ocean Village. The food was awful, the A/C in the rooms didn't work, no balconies in the rooms, very big language barrier, plus all of the resort shops are extremely expensive. more

My friend and I went to this hotel not knowing what to expect since there had been many mixed reviews. Many complained that there had still been construction, or that rooms weren't clean or damaged, however, we did not experience this. Our room had been very clean, no damage, there was infact an air conditioner. Many also complained that you... more

Great beach, the best we've seen in Punta Cana. The food is (almost always) the same every day, but the worst of all was the cockroaches we found in our room on the last day... more

We booked this trip through USA3000 and Apple Tours... Didn't know what to expect and weren't to concerned because the trip was dirt cheap! We were amazed at how beautiful the resort is and it was so big that we discovered that we hadn't even seen the whole place. Our room was next to the swim up bar pool and... more
