Ok, so this hotel is NOT the Ritz....duh, but listen if you need a week away with your girlfriends for around $1200 INCLUDING flight, then this resort is just FINE! We had a blast! The pool is huge and so much fun, with music playing and drinks always available. The beach is GORGEOUS with a TON of lounge chairs available... more

We just returned from a week's stay yesterday. This property does have a weird layout as noted by others. Long and narrow so those who stay at the villas side of the resort will have a longer walk to mostly everything. It was 1900 steps from our room to where we sat on the beach each day. That's 0.6 mile... more

Where to start? My husband and I have read plenty of these about this resort and not all good. But who ever has wrote the bad reviews must of stayed at a different place than we did. Gorgous simple gorgous are the beaches and the pools. Plenty of shade and sun. The staff were all polite and tried very hard... more

We were very pleased with the resort. We were originally scheduled to go to Cancun but canceled out and rescheduled here without much research. We did not go wrong. The resort was very clean. Every morning the entire place was washed down.... every table, chair, sidewalk, everything. The beach was one of the best we have ever seen. Several hundred... more

My wife and I rebooked our trip to Cancun due to the swine flu with only 2 days notice. We lucked our way into the IFA Villas Bavarro and were able to relax from the stress of this epidemic (not to mention our everyday lives). We found the resort to be mellow and serene. The staff were as friendly and... more

Anyone who says this hotel was rubbish must need their heads testing. It was amazing. Beautiful grounds, gorgeous beach, great selection of food although not brilliant quality but was still fine especially as I'm a fussy eater. We stayed in the Villa part which was great and was a nice stroll through the grounds to get to the beach. The... more

My friend and I were originally supposed to go to Cancun, but at the last minute got our trip changed to IFA Villas Bavaro Beach.....what a huge mistake! We would have taken our chance with the Swine Flu in Mexico then vacationing here if we knew what was in store for us. First we paid to have an ocean view... more

Do not believe the reviewer who says that the juice was fake and the alcohol was terrible and that the food was the same everyday. This is just not true. I stayed at this hotel from April 4 to the 11th in the Village section. While the food in the buffet was not Top Notch, neither was it terrible or... more
