Finally we landed, got our baggage and 20 minutes later (and $25 lighter) we arrived to the hotel. Initial taxi service was offered as $40, but after being strong on price amount we were able to bring it down. The check-in was just HORRIBLE. The counter space is so narrow, and there were lot of people, trying to get to... more

Our stay was fantastic right from the start, while it is true the hotel staff don't speak fluent english they do understand enough to make check in a breeze.........why not learn a... more

I went to the IFA bavaro beach villas and spa resort for spring breakWith 8 other people. It was an amazing experience. Before I went I looked at the other reviews and was a little skeptical, and was pretty much expecting a dirty place with a dirty room, nasty food and a nice beach. NOT TRUE!! This place is beautiful... more

We had originally reserved two rooms due to the fact that we had 5 travelers. A day later the 5th traveler dropped out and we no longer needed the 2nd room. We called hotels.com and requested that we change our reservation to one room with four people in it. They said we shouldn’t cancel our reservation but they would call... more

Having read many reviews before this trip and several others since I returned, I thought I should add my input. I always find it odd that people can have such different experiences-many at complete ends of the spectrum from "paradise" to "never again." My explanation is simply that it will be what you make of it - for us, it... more

I did not have an enjoyable stay....at all. Yes there were some good things, but overall it was not the relaxing, fun vacation I was hoping for. The beach is great. The hotel nice and renovated...mostly, except the part where we had our rooms. The pools were good, but one was quite dirty. There is a nice coffee bar, one... more

We decided we were desperately in need of some time in the sun so we booked a trip on Tuesday afternoon to leave on Wednesday morning. This was the ONLY place we could find. I made the reservation without looking at this site first and then panicked because the reviews were pretty mixed. I actually canceled with the agent before... more
