Great Hotel, very clean, WONDERFUL Location, Value priced! GREAT BEACH, 2 Pools, Fun Staff. Night Club and shows were better then most! Our group ages ranged from 60, 58, 54, 30, 32, 28, 25. Mothers, daughters, friends, sisters. It wasn't a very elegant Hotel compared to others in this area, but we all enjoyed our stay there very much!

So this was my first all inclusive trip and my girlfriends and I travelled there from April 25 - May 2nd. My overall experience at the resort was mediocre, but being with my girls made it awesome. GUESTS: If you're hoping to meet some fellow young travellers to party with and have a good time, be forewarned that during my... More

I am a travel agent, and I sent a group of 7 to this property for a getaway. They returned yesterday with not many positive comments about the "Resort". The first words were that "This place reminded me of a Super 8 Motel". They complained everyday that she was there. First, The Resort: the pictures posted on the site where... More

Our party of 2 couples travelled to this resort from May 1-May 8. This was our third trip to the DR and this was one was disappointing, no complaints about the others that we visited.

My boyfriend and I returned last week from a week at IFA Bavaro to celebrate our graduation from Dalhousie. This hotel deserves a strong 4 out of 5 stars. The area was always clean and well-kept. I barely ever saw garbage littered on the beach or on the hotel grounds, due to the diligence of the employees. All of the... More

We traveled to Punta Cana from May 4-11. There were two couples, in our mid 20's (2 rooms). When you get there you can upgrade your room, which we didn't do. If you upgrade it is $15 per person per day. The upgraded room are closer to the main pool, with the swim up bar, daily entertainment and snack bar.... More
