Хороший отель для своей цены,но надо быть готовым к..... Good hotel for the price but be prepared for...

This is my first time writing a review, so please excuse the spelling. I want to briefly, without unnecessary lyrics, prepare future tourists for possible "surprises". I want to remind you that this is my opinion about the rest in Puerto Plato, and everyone will draw conclusions for himself. The hotel is located in a picturesque place, the territory is large so there is where to walk. The ocean during the rest was calm, the beach was clean - gray sand and small pebbles at the entrance to the ocean. It is better to swim on the right side of the hotel, not far from the "local travel agency". The food is varied - meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits are prepared very well. You can eat both in restaurants inside and near the beach. The rooms are cozy, but not the "first freshness" are cleaned every day and towels are changed daily. Who likes to watch TV, I want to warn you, there are no Russian channels. The contents of the refrigerator and bar are FREE!! ! Bottles are filled every three days. When checking in, water dripped from the ceiling of the corridor (they cleaned the air conditioner twice), but they fixed it quickly. I did not leave a tip, but this did not affect the quality of cleaning. I want to go back to the beginning of my arrival in the Dominican Republic. Registration did not take very long, but I want to warn you that carry bags and suitcases yourself to the bus so as not to pay for the "joyful" natives to help you and then ask for dollars for 15 meters of "help", visitors for them (as they think) are very rich people . The travel agent from Pegasus Maxim, upon arrival and departure from the hotel, explains everything well, which cannot be said about the Pegasus girls at the meeting the next day. All their “divorces” about excursions that only they need to take and that everything is safe from them is bullshit, as soon as you cross the threshold of the hotel, all insurance expires. If you want to get a three-way trip, take it no problem, we took waterfalls and sea fishing for two for two excursions from the local one at the end of the beach for $ 220 and everything was fine! the best option is to go outside the hotel and negotiate with a taxi driver who is constantly there, go to the local market and magnets that are sold on the territory of the hotel for two dollars, buy 15 pieces for a dollar, and everything else rum, cigars, etc. Better yet, find a couple and then the trip will cost half. We agreed for $ 20, and Pegasus has a taxi call for $ 50. The local market is open all days except Sunday, and the Serena and Jumbo shopping centers all week and be scared of the price tags, it's all in PESO, otherwise when we first drove into Serena we thought that slates cost $ 700. At the first meeting with a pegasus, the girls were scared that it was not safe in the city, that you didn’t go anywhere and all that.... we went twice during the day without any problems and we didn’t see any hostility even when we were bargaining, I won’t say we didn’t go during the night, at night you can find “adventures” in Russia. Bargain with the locals, haggle and haggle again! Yes, I forgot to write, when we went to the city we stopped at Fenikuler and were there for an hour and a half, and the driver was patiently waiting for us. The price for the lift is $10 per person. Who does not want or is afraid to go to the city, you can take a walk in the swamp to feed birds and turtles with bread, as you leave the hotel, then 200 meters to the right, there are stalls with souvenirs and taxis.
