We stayed there as a couple from April 19th-25. The rooms were pretty clean, and relatively comfortable. I think the biggest issue with the room was the pillows. Since we had two beds and two of us, we were both able to find a pillow that was comfortable to sleep on. The beds were pretty average for a hotel. The... More

Asked for a non-somoking room. They don't have any. A/C didn't workfor three days, even after repeated attempts to repair. No hot water for the shower for five days. Every time we complained we were told it would be ok in a half hour. Toilet over flowed leaving a total mess in the room. Tiolet was fixed right away. The... More

The number one complaint from all... More

Stayed July 9-16th 2011. Punta Cana is beautiful but the IFA Bavaro could use ALOT of IMPROVING. We arrived at noon and waited in line at front desk for over an hour. You're being taken care of and another person walks up and speaks the language and there you stand. If the phone rings the call also takes precedence over... More
