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

Arrived at the IFA Bavaro Village on the 9th in the evening. The check out was quick and everyone was escorted to their rooms-the resort is pitch dark at night time. To my surprise, the rooms were above what i expected. They have been all renovated and are clean, modern and spacious. I have stayed in resorts that claim to... more

A friend and I stayed here at the IFA Bavaro Village March 3rd through March 10th 2008... and what a perfect stay it was! This was my second trip to Punta Cana. Previously I stayed at the Barcelo Bavaro Resort, which brags a higher star rating than IFA, but I have to say that IFA was the nicest hotel I've... more

We stayed at the IFA Bavaro Village from February 14-28/08. We had a fantastic time there! The hotel has been completely remodelled. Our room (#3418) was very nice, central to everything, on the second floor and everything worked well (air-conditioning, hot water, water pressure, comfortable beds). The maid kept the room very clean but she never left us any towel... more

First of all, I would like to say that we are not first time travellers. This is our 3rd time in Dominican and we have also been in Cuba. I cannot honestly say anything negative about this resort!! It had it all. There were 3 pools, 3 a la carte restaurants, 2 buffets, pizzeria, beach grill and 7 bars including... more
