My two friends and I staryed at this hotel, but from the first day, we should have seen the sign on the wall. It should have read, "no customer service, no flexibility, the rules are the rules and we do no bend to make your stay worth while". First, cleaning the room. Do not expect to have your room cleaned... more

Ifa is a 4 star hotel, pay no mind to the negative remarks on trip advisor. People are such complianers. It it newly remodelled,ask for the Ocean or Village section (NOT THE VILLAS- it is not remodelled) True! some staff have trouble speaking english but you get by if you can speak a little french and it is fun anyway... more

My adult daughter and I took our first trip to Punta Cana and stayed at the IFA Bavaro Village. I was pleased at the cleanliness and eye appeal of the resort. I would recommend learning some basic Spanish for communication. I found the staff to be very friendly. The beds/pillows were very comfortable. Our air conditioning was not working properly... more

I stayed at the IFA Village from May5-May12 for an inexpensive relaxing getaway. This was my fifth time to the DR and I've stayed at countless other places. I read all of the reviews before I left so I had a good understanding of what to expect. I have a physical disability that limits my walking ability so I figured... more

I'll start by saying that I have lived in and travelled often to the Dominican Republic. I have stayed in local homes; 2 star hotels; and 4 start resorts. My experience at the IFA Bavaro Village failed to meet any of my Dominican expectations. First the staff. With few notable exceptions, most of the staff members looked unhappy and unfriendly.... more

I was a little nervous at first when booking the IFA as i couldnt ignore the 3 star rating our travel agent had given the resort, but working with a specific date( my partner was in the navy with only one day of departure) wich just so happened to be the busiest time to travel ! march 11-17th and everything... more
