First let me say that we were a little nervous about trying to pick a hotel in Punta Cana b/c of the reviews ! After much research & reading about all the hotels and also keeping price in mind...we booked IFA for my 30th birthday present! We booked on our own through Apple Vacations and got a really good price... More

The selection of food was very limited, same everyday. The staff were unfriendly for the most part. The maid service was fair, the grounds were ok but not kept well. Sitting at the pizza bar we had plenty of animal interaction chickens & birds during the day and RATS at night. We will not be returning to this resort. More

Me and my husband enjoyed the stay from 31/12 2011 to 11/1/2012. We spent whole day outside of the room (bungalow). Food, beach and staff was OK. I was not satisfied with housekeepers, sometimes room was not cleaned at 5 p.m. I really liked Cafe Dominicano with great coctails. I recommed to buy all preeesents in La Romana if you... More

We had a great time at this resort! Don't listen to all the bad reviews. The people there were very friendly and the beach was exceptional! We spent most of the time on the beach. The food was adequate but I would recommend the specialty restaurants like the Italian and the Caribe. Make your reservations from your room phone between... More

My boyfriend and I just returned from this resort. We were there from Jan 10-17th, 2012. We had a GREAT time! For the money, we were very happy with it. The facility was very beautiful and very clean. Staff was very helpful. Many of them spoke English very well. If they didn't, you can get by with minimal Spanish (know... More

The food was average at best and the drinks weren't great. It had one of the best beaches I've been at, it had about two hundred yards of sand deep from water and many palm trees for shade and privacy. The nightly shows were great and the people working there were friendly and polite. The resort is very clean and... More

This is a beautiful resort in Bavaro Beach, Dominican Republic. It is great if you are visiting the area for the first time and just want to relax and sun bathe on the beach or at the pool. The food in the Buffet restaurants is average. They have a great Mexican Restaurant that is worth visiting. Having to wake up... More

Food was average. Lots to choose from. The pools are amazing. Beach is a little far but you can get a tram if you don't want to walk. The rooms are beautiful and bathrooms are clean. Never had to wait much time for a cocktail. We all had a great time. Just booked another trip. Can't wait to go back.... More
