IFA Villas Bavaro Hotel Reviews

"Great location, best beach ever! Gorgeous pool area, lots of bars and good drinks. People friendly. However food showed no imagination in preparation - same each day! Music very loud and everywhere! Half the resort under construction and yet the people tried hard and were friendly! Cable being installed but in the meantime - no t.v. in over half the resort with promises of someone fixing it every 30 minutes until you finally realize it is not going to happen. Would go again but only after the renovations are completed. It would have been better if they had closed the hotel during renos."

"A very good hotel for a 3.5 star. Villas are cute, nice walk to the beach. Well kept, clean walkways, lots of green areas. Lovely. Food surprisingly good. Something for everyone. The Rancho Grill is the best. Incredible staff. Smile all the time. Nice people. Good service."

"Hotel consists of 3 hotels joined together. Beautiful layout. All 2 and 3 storey villas. Great service. Food was good for us, we liked it (lots of fruits, nice desserts). Entertainment team is hard working & professional, they are there day and night. We liked Rancho Grill, at the beach. Excellent staff, makes you feel special. Lots of young people. Lots of Europeans. We liked it. Would go back tomorrow if possible."
