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.
