This was a 1 week vacation we had traveled with another couple that was staying for 2 weeks. The room that was given to us was unacceptable and faced the back of the resort which was at the time a dump and smelled like raw sewerage. Anything that dropped on the roof or birds on the roof we heard it... more

Went on this 8 day trip with my 20-y/o daughter. I certainly will not go again. Some things we experienced: *Front desk very slow..........long lines to check in. Desk clerks spoke almost NO English, and very difficult to get their attention. Finally got to our room, to find it was not in the area/room I paid for. Returned to desk..........again,... more

This is was my third time visiting this resort within the last year, and in honesty I can not say one thing wrong about this resort in any areas, and especially this past December when parts of the resort were under renovation. The staff alone is very friendly, also the management team is always available at all times of the... more

We did not actually stay at the IFA. We rented one of the villas close to the IFA property and bought all-inclusive day and night passes. The reception desk and security folks were very unfriendly. We had the following problems: a) The reception desk was understaffed. Quite often the lines to check-in, check-out would get very long and the person... more

From 12/16-12/19 we stayed at IFA Villas Resort and Spa - the construction on the lobby meant we had to check in at the bar. Then, the ATM didn't work so we were without a penny.... dollars or Dominican Pesos and no one spoke enough english to tell us how to get to a bank... The people at the resort... more

My wife and I went to IFA Villas for our honeymoon and it was awesome. There were some children there with their parents, but it was still awesome. we were there for 7 nights and it was the perfect length of time. BRING SUNBLOCK. We brought 3 bottles and still ran out on our last day. I was pretty well... more

I love the IFA!! My mother and I just got back from a week stay and were very happy with our overall experience. The hotel is beautiful and the beach is amazing. Our big decision each day was to go to the pool or to the beach. The staff was very nice. They do not speak much english, but enough... more

DO NOT GO THERE Please do not go there. Everything you see on line is a LIE. I and my wife went on Oct 13 to the IFA Villas Bavaro. First we were at the front desk for at least 2 hours because our room was not ready even though we go there at 5 PM. I booked ocean front... more

We just got back from the best vacation ever. I highly recomend this resort. The rooms where very clean, great house keeping service. Make sure you stay in the Villas, which is the new section on the property. The food was awesome, we ate a la carte two nights, and the buffet anytime of the day was great also. All... more
