I have been to a lot of Places in Punta Cana and this is a nice, clean place. The food was good with a great selection. We love the Jazu bar and went there every day after being on the beautiful beach. I really liked the Villa's and would pick them over the other rooms. The only thing that I... More

If you didn't like to walk there were trollies coming all the time a very short wait. The Jazu Bar was amazing this is where the action... More

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!

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
