Difference between what's advertised and what they have available. Site under construction/renewal. Too much dust. Only one swimming pool and one restaurant. Not many choices at the buffet. At least the room was excellent in clean and comfort. Also excellent service by Antonio at the buffet and Barbara at the bar.

IFA VILLAS
The first night we arrive the toilet was overflowing and not working properly. The hotel advertised that there were 7 restaurants but when we got there we where told by staff members that only 2 Restaurants were actually available. One of the restaurants would provide snacks during 3pm-4pm which consist of uncooked hotdogs. There was 1 pool available (even though 3 were advertised). The bar by the pool only had piña coladas available but it was hard to order a drink because my group and I were consistently ignored being ignored by the staff. Overall it was a bad experience and I would not recommend anyone to stay at this resort.

Nice hotel for the price
Pros:Flamingos, peacocks, golf carts, pleasant staff
Cons:More food variety
Location:The location is near Bavaro Beach. We did La Hacienda excursion, camp adventure bavaro park, and santo domingo.
Nice, clean hotel with golf cart service around the hotel. The resort is HUGE. I personally liked it for the value, but there are better resorts out there in Punta Cana if your budget allows. Restaurant food was horrible, stick to the buffet. The restaurant requires long line waiting and you can only book between 8:30am-10: 30 am. The staff was friendly with the exception of 2 or 3 employees we encountered. Pikalo pizzeria serves great pizza. The pool dirty came night time. However, in the morning was clean again. Flamingos and peacocks were great at the resort. Kids play area was nice for the four-year-old. Overall, the decent resort for the value. Would recommend but would not return again unless I really can't afford anything else. Food was repetitive, extremely repetitive.

Good overall experience
Very nice hotel, clean, the hotel staff is perfect, the food is amazing. Main complain: I paid 18$ to have the wifi for 2 days and I barely had service, it was a waste of money.

Pros:various things to do, various restaurants to eat at.
Cons:better a/c and mattresses
Location:prior to our visit there were complaints about how far the beach was but we thought the walk was an appropriate distance
A/C in room was okay, not overall effective and loud. Mattress to hard for my liking. Rest of the experience was perfect

Good for the price
The staff was friendly. Reservations at the ala carte restaurants were a little hard to make. Buffets were great. Beach is not private but clean and beautiful, and the closest inclusive bar is not too far. Definitely worth the room upgrade (which we paid for the 2nd day) because the villas are very far from the beach and more run down. Don't count on the Wifi. Even paying in the Internet cafe is slow. My biggest complaint is the housekeeping. We left our room at about 10 each morning and didn't return until 5 and only found our room clean 2 of 6 days. We had to track down a maid for towels, water bottles, and toilet paper. Even when I spoke to a maid on our floor at 2 pm about needing cleaning, it was not done when I got back at 5. Very annoying especially since the front desk gave me attitude when I asked for 2 extra towels the first night. "Can you explain to me right now why you need 2 more towels?" Uh, yeah- I like one for my head and one for my body when I get out of the shower. Rude. They were short on beach towels very often. With 2 pools and a beach spread over a half mile, there was still only one place to get towels and they were out about half the time so the line would be 20 people long... Time wasted.

The WORST resort I've EVER been to!!!
Checkin was horrible, did not get into my room until 8pm. Food was disgusting and went hungry many days. The bar staff never put alcohol into drinks unless you begged for it. It was impossible to get clean towels in the room. The whole staff seemed to hate Americans and spoke to other geusts who had the same feeling. On a good note, the beach was awesome and the chef who made the omlets in the morning was very nice.
