The property was small-limited areas. The worst thing was that there was mold in the pool which was disgusting, the ocean was dirty, the washroom was extremely tiny with an ancient toilet and sink (dirty), there was a sewage smell in various areas of the property. The housekeeping is not regular, we had to request fresh towels, bottles of water and toilet paper. The only reason I have given a 3-star is because the staff was courteous and the front desk changed our room upon request.

The photos on Expedia are not up to date. This place was not what we expected at all. Theres maybe one person that speaks English. I tried to ask the chef to change the bowl for making my omelet and he did not understand. I had to use the translation app and he then proceeded to wipe the bowl with paper towel and then put my eggs in there. We paid for an all inclusive but we maybe ate at the resort a total of four times and we were there for seven days. Almost All of the food has pork in it. I mentioned that to the person at the front desk and he just chuckled. The showers had mold in them. This place is not it.

I like landscaping. I like the friendly stuff. Especially Franklin, Angel, Evelyn. Other than that everything was very poor. Not enough food in the buffet . We didn’t have hot water last 2 days something went wrong with electricity. No air conditioning no outlets working nobody came to fix it even we reported complaints couple of times. I know is not very expensive hotel but i didn’t expect this much poor condition. I would not recommend this place.

We stayed in whala bavaro for 7 days. We were hesitant to book it due to the reviews. There’s so many reviews that food is bad and that service isnt good. But we needed to have a place closer to the airport but we are so surprised with the resort. Our stay was AMAZING! Food was good! Buffet restaurant have a lot of selections. Variety of food to choose from. Theres also a snack bar that also offers good food (i wouldnt consider this a snack bar as they serve REAL FOOD like pasta, chicken wings, fresh fruits, pizza, nachos and huge selection of dessert), they serve didf types of cocktails in this snack bar as well. At night, you can make a reservation for italian restaurant (MOZZARELLA STICKS IS A MUST TRY APPETIZER!!) The bar… one bar by the beach , a bar by the main pool, and another bar by the snack bag. They serve local and imported alcohol beverages. For customer service. I cant say anything bas Staff are friendly and helpful. Best part of our vacation for me are the workers who mase our stay memorable. Big THANK YOU to our bartenders (SANTO, CEASARLUIS, EVELIN) keep the drinks coming hahaha Also big Shout out to ADRIAN and ANGEL from the snack bar. Always a good service! I will definitely recommend this resort aa we has a good experience during out stay! THANK YOU WHALA BAVARO!

There was no shuttle provided to and from the airport, had to pay a taxi, unexpected cost. A 'voucher' was required when checking in, proof of our booking, which didn't make sense after all the items I filled out online prior to our trip. After a long day of travel not stuff you really want to deal with. On the flip side, once we settled in we had a really nice week. Place was nice, food was good and the beach was in reasonable walking distance.

Por favor lean los reviews ya que les aconsejo paguen un poquito más, “el hotel” bo vale la pena los dormitorios tienen mal olor, demasiada humedad, el aire acondicionado no sirve, para recibir atención del front desk se toman 48 horas, las piscinas no las limpian, la comida no es típica del país, los trabajadores son muy groseros y despotas ( bueno alguno son buenos pero otros no), además de todo hay ratones, el agua d esas duchas tenía un mal edor a podrido lo siento pero yo no vuelvo a ir a Punta cana mis expectativas eran buenas porque lo han hecho demasiado propaganda pero no vale la pena. Suerte si decides ir a este hotel.
