We purchased a trip within our budget and I think it is very true that "Barrato sale Carro" which means when you go cheap it ends up expensive. I proposed to my Fiance the night before we left. needless to say we were very excited to stay in PC. WE read the fine print after we bought and I know... More

This was our forth year at IFA. My husband and I love it. The hotel is very clean and the workers are all friendly. The hotel is not as big as some but that is more than ok with us. I hear people all the time on the way home complaining their hotel complexes are to big. IFA is just... More

My friends and I recently returned from a 6 day, 5 night stay at this absolutely stunning resort. I am well versed in traveling to all inclusive properties and this was one of the best I have been to. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU BRING PLENTY OF SUN SCREEN FROM HOME. A 6oz bottle of Coppertone was $25 U.S. dollars.... More

Let me start out by saying my group ended up paying under a thousand per person, so I am a firm believer you pay for what you get. That is with airfare!!! Let me start by saying this was my first visit to the DR, PC. My group of friends booked through apple vacations and I must say they are... More

My husband and I stayed at IFA from March 8-16th 2012. We traveled with two of our kids ages 9 and 16. Check in was very smooth. We were escorted to our room which we found a little smoky so right away they moved us to another building no problem. We ended up being in the 4000 building next to... More

Nice hotel, but they charge you for everything (upgrading rooms 8$/day/pers, safety deposit box 3$/day, late check out 8$/hour). the front desk was very slow and they do not speak English well. Luckly we speak a little Spanish. Anyway this minor issues I mentioned didn't even come close to ruining our vacation. The food was very good, diverse, and enough... More

This property is a good deal for the traveler with a budget. It had everything that we needed to make our vacation a success. If you want to wallow in luxury or be waited on hand and foot, this is not the resort for you. But, if you want good value for your money, decent food and drink, nice rooms... More

Me and my friend were looking for a sunny country with white-sand beaches. And we didn't make a mistake when chose Dominican Republic. The hotel was not bad, rather far from the beach but they have kind of a personal road to the beach, you have to walk for 5 minutes to get there. At 7 in the morning many... More

We were told at reception as soon as we arrived that we could upgrade for $8 per person a day,... More

This was the first (and probably the last) time my partner and I had been on a package holiday. We were dubious about doing it as it just isn't our style but it turned out to be the only way we could afford going somewhere like the Dominican Republic. Generally, the resort was good. The room (we chose a superior... More
