We were a little hesitant about this resort at first, but the price was right and we booked a few days prior to leaving. The resort has three sections, the villas, very quaint but apparently not that great inside, the village, six two story buildings surrounding a pool (with swim-up bar) and the ocean, six 4 story buildings nearer the... more

My sister and now brother in law had planned all along to get married down south. We had originally chosen a resort in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, however, 1 week before we were to leave the h1n1 flu had been pronounced a pandemic. All flights to Mexico were cancelled and we were stuck (with 25 of us) without a wedding... more

IFA is very nice resort which was completely renovated last year with a modern but simple taste. We haven’t found one single thing that was not functioning or was broken. The resort is also very clean and taking a good care of mosquitoes, bags, ants and other pests. Resort staff, including maids, receptionists, waiters, and bartenders, is very friendly, polite... more

Just back from a week at IFA with family and would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing time with kids. We have 6 daughters 15 to 24 and nobody had a complaint. The staff were fun and helpful. Special hello's to Edwin, Roberto, Samuel, everyone at the Buffet restaurant by the beach but basically everyone. Didn't have... more

Really nice resort with great beach, really good and friendly staff and decent food. Its more of a relaxing type of place where most people just lay around on beach rather than socialize. The staff does its best to get the residents to partake in the activities but the people are like a bunch of cows and dont want to... more

We just got back from Punta Cana and had a wonderful time at the IFA Village Bavaro. This was our first time to the DR. We were there from June 12 – 19, 2009. The weather was beautiful that week, with the exception of the occasional brief thunderstorm. We will definitely return to Punta Cana at some point, (the beach... more

Been to Dominican many times so I knew what to expect. Typical nice hotel good food and great staff. I did not like not having a balcony to sit on at night. That I missed, but no big deal. This is the big thing. We were there the week of May 19th and it rained every night. Ordinarily no big... more

Unfortunately, I am still here writing this review for all those who are looking to come to this resort. One word of advice, DON´T. If you have traveled ANYWHERE that has treated it´s clients well, you will be extremely disappointed. 1. From day 1, there was a leak in my room, the third day (after I cleaned up each time)... more
