VERY NICE! We were also in this hotel at the same time as in previous reviews, from March 11 to March 21 with Pegasus and Nordwind. In principle, everything has already been described, for those who are going, some points.

In principle, everything has already been described, for those who are going, some points. They took a few sandwiches from Arkhangelsk to McDonald's on the plane so as not to starve in Moscow and the plane)). We also went to the funicular and the sightseeing around the city with Miguel Diaz, I recommend (I read reviews here and comments before the trip, I knew Natalia from Khimki in absentia on her questions before the trip))) even together it turned out to be half the price than with Pegasus, plus he gave his discount card at the supermarket. They paid by card there, there was no peso, and they decided to leave the remaining bucks, but, in that store, you can use bucks, the discounts are awesome on some clothes, and the commission is scanty. Course 1:48. And if six of us go to a survey in Puerto Plata, then almost for free)) - for 70 bucks for everyone, plus 10 for the cable car. The coordinates of it have already been posted, I'll post a photo below. We watched whales, Bacardi Island and Samana, went on ocean fishing, took excursions near the beach from shops, $ 20-30 cheaper, took a picture, it was sold just in case, but everything is OK. (In attachments) We went with Pegasus only to Santo Domingo , on the beach he only has Santiago for almost the same price. By the way, the bus guide exchanged 100 bucks at the rate of 1:49, he also sells mamajuana on the bus for $3. In the capital, a supermarket (there is only pesos) they took three bottles of rum, in 8 packs of coffee beans, on the street - small things as gifts for kids, a pair of baseball caps, two pairs of sneakers, bags with "Dominican", etc. , including a dozen magnets of 1.2 $. We didn’t go to the waterfalls, it’s hard, and I was twice on Niagara in Canada on the border with the States and Iguazu in Brazil on the border with Paraguay... There are waterfalls there, and I looked at these on YouTube, I think for young people. IMHO.
On the second day, in the formation (pharmacy) in a nearby hotel, Claro sims were bought for $ 20. Plus $3 for unlimited internet for 5 days and (although they say it's 5 geeks) and $2 for 5 minutes of phone. just in case, suddenly somewhere we will lose each other. ) Therefore, the whole rest is in touch and the Internet. You can also buy an operator for $ 7, but you have to go to the city for 40 bucks round trip. They called Russia, several times, that was enough. By the way, mobile Internet flies compared to WiFi at the reception, photo and video home via Wiber every day and a lot. Five days later they came and extended for 3 bucks for another 5 days. (Sims are alive, I can send for half the price, save $ 10 apiece). Or transfer Arkhangelsk 1.2, 5.04 and Muscovites 2-5.04 to the next. week. )
The food is good, no sour yesterday's salads, as we had in Egypt and Turkey, juices for every taste, freshly squeezed, whiskey, rum, brandy, beer... nothing diluted, everything is original, plus 4 bottles in the room! )) On the second day, I gave one waiter a dollar at the end of dinner, for bringing me an additional two beers (and so, basically, you have to go for drinks yourself or sit in a bar), so he next days, when he worked, showered me with all sorts of drinks you could ask for. I had to part with another 4 bucks)). Name and photo attached. He understands a little Russian and speaks good English.
Fish, though in one form, was every day, on the last day I ate too much tuna)).
Be sure to go to the swamp behind the hotel, see the herons and feed the turtles.
A little further to the port there are shops . . , you have to bargain...
Yes, Gabriella works at the reception, she understands and speaks Russian very well, she, at my request, connected us with Miguel. On the third day I saw ants on the balcony, and in the corridor there were small mosquitoes in the mornings and evenings, I told her to sprinkle. She at the same moment said something on the radio, handed me a liter spray bottle, and five minutes later, when we approached the room, the maid puts us another bottle! )).
In general, the staff is decent everywhere, I didn’t see much difference to us and to the same Canadians.
Another thing they wrote about here . . , the landfill did not burn, they did not hear about theft in our race.
This holiday is probably the best of the last three!
Here are just a flight, a little harder than to Vietnam, especially for me, who smokes).
But Norvind... there with a delay of half an hour in total, back almost on schedule.
There will be questions, ask. . .
Thank you, good luck and have a great holiday!

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.

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.

We stayed at the hotel with our whole family. It takes about an hour to get to the hotel, but it's definitely worth it. The hotel is a large complex of 3 hotels and you can walk, have lunch and breakfast. There are a lot of places for walking and swimming, everything is different, different beaches, beautiful views and places that are simply unique in beauty. Since I have already mentioned food, I will start with it. The complex itself, in addition to its restaurants, is also located a few meters from Caribbean Street, where bars, nightclubs, casinos are located, entrance to some of them is free for hotel guests, including drinks. We really liked the restaurants in the hotel. Cleanliness and service, as well as the quality and choice of food is excellent, very close to the restaurant, and not the canteen, as in some hotels. In general, Riu hotels try to keep the brand, and this, of course, pleases. There are always fresh juices at breakfast, an excellent selection of fruits, even taking into account the fact that it is not yet a season, but some are very tasty and ripe. You can also, for free, by the pool, eat coconuts, and drink coconut milk at least every day. We also dined in A la carte, I especially advise you to go to the Steakhouse. But besides this, there are still a lot of bars with various snacks, and even musical accompaniment, which, well, simply cannot be counted. I don't even need to delve into all the names, I can just say that the food is excellent, including alcohol and other drinks. Well, of course, and unique beaches for every taste, gazebos for secluded relaxation, and a lot of sunbeds anywhere in the hotel, which we never had to occupy. Always and everywhere we could find a place to lie under the sun. Also, the Riu chain has always been famous for its staff and service, and this hotel is no exception. We gave tips only when we wanted to, and not to improve service or anything like that. Since there were many of us, we asked to be placed in two neighboring rooms, and they were provided to us immediately. The rooms themselves are spacious, but the bathroom is not big, although most importantly, always clean. We had a huge bed, though consisting of two side by side, in the room there was a dispenser with three types of alcohol: rum, vodka and gin. A large closet with a safe, a ceiling fan, a minibar immediately below the dispenser with cola, beer, water and soda, an old TV, but who turns it on on vacation. The balcony is very large, we lived on the first floor, and we were not disturbed by insects at all, this is also monitored. We only had Internet in the lobby, but in a nearby hotel I caught it throughout the territory without any problems. In general, I advise the hotel boldly, the rest will be excellent.

My friend and I had a wonderful time at the Riu Hotel. The hotel is in a great location, with a gorgeous beach and the ocean is so different, with big waves and a quieter lagoon. But basically the water, even in the lagoon, is exciting, although we were only delighted with this. They jumped and rode the waves like children. The beach is great. The shade from the palm trees, there is a lot of it is very convenient, you can enjoy the views of the ocean while walking along the beach almost without leaving the shade. There was enough space on the beach for everyone and always, we did not have to look for sunbeds even once. Check-in happens almost instantly, immediately upon arrival everything is ready and the room is waiting for you fully equipped. Our room was not far from the 24-hour bar, and it was very close to walk along the path to the beach past it. I don’t know about anyone, but we thought he was the best. The second floor, a huge balcony, excellent cleaning, a bar with four types of good alcohol (rum, brandy, gin and vodka), and even a constantly replenished mini-bar with beer, soda and water. But with shampoos and gels it didn’t work out, there was only soap and there were no dressing gowns, but these are such trifles. The cleaning is very good, the cleanest towels, we changed the bed several times, wet cleaning every day, and even on the balcony. Humidity is present, but the operation of the air conditioner removes it well. The balcony overlooked a small makeshift courtyard with palm trees and emerald green lawns, and we enjoyed this beauty every day and every minute, before returning to the cold and gray winter of our stone jungle. But how we did not want to return, and with what delight we flew away on vacation. Be prepared for humidity, but we got used to it by the second day of rest. Another excellent quality of the hotel I would like to highlight its restaurants and food in general. A huge selection of fish in any form, from just fried to smoked. Meat is simply unmeasured, amazing fruits, of which there were also a lot. Salads, cheeses, sausages and cold cuts. And what fresh juices they made for breakfast, it is indescribably delicious. They even roasted a whole piglet. Seafood was every day, it was possible to eat only one of them, which we often did)). In addition to the restaurant, snacks in the snack bar, where you can also drink a perfectly made mojito, really very tasty. The staff throughout the hotel are very smiling, although a bit slow. Here's another animation was almost not carried out on the beach. In most cases, everything took place in the pool, but we did not swim in it. We decided that swimming in the ocean is better than spending time by the pool. I did not want to fly away at all, and we will remember this unforgettable vacation on the azure coast of the Dominican Ocean for a long time to come.

The hotel, although it stands on the Atlantic coast, but because of its location in the bay, it was a pleasure to swim. We liked the beach more than in Punta Cana, where we rested last year, because there are practically no waves and you can swim every day. This time we also chose a Riu hotel, knowing that both service and food will be at the highest level.

The hotel, although it stands on the Atlantic coast, but because of its location in the bay, it was a pleasure to swim. We liked the beach more than in Punta Cana, where we rested last year, because there are practically no waves and you can swim every day. This time we also chose a Riu hotel, knowing that both service and food will be at the highest level. The beach is wonderful, very long and clean throughout. There are many free sunbeds, palm trees, the sand is not white, but fine. The ocean itself is very warm and with clear water. There is a shallow entrance to the water, and deeper places, if you go to the right. Here you can stay in silence, almost alone. In those places where there are rocks and stones, you need to swim in shoes, but there is almost never anyone here. Very friendly staff. They settled us almost immediately, a room in a bungalow on the second floor overlooking the garden of palm trees. In the mornings and especially in the evenings, there is complete silence, you can’t hear music and noise, and it’s a couple of minutes to go to the beach. The room is standard, but with a large bed, and a large terrace. The bathroom is small, the bathroom is combined, but otherwise the room is very good. Rattan furniture, there is a free safe and a mini-bar, which is constantly replenished. The cleaning is good, the towels are clean, what else is needed, especially since we walked along the beach almost all the time and only spent the night in the room. They decided not to overpay for the deluxe, they just didn’t see the point in it. Entertainment in the hotel was also enough. There is no animation in Russian here, but there are enough various water sports. Yes, and a huge territory of two hotels, on which you will never get tired of walking. A lot of greenery, and just beautiful places. The food is superb. There are a lot of seafood, very tasty juices for breakfast, a large selection of cheeses for every taste. Excellent vegetables and fruits, grilled meat was great. There was also an excellent fish on the menu, fried and salted red. In addition to the main restaurant, we went to the la carte restaurant "Cachet". And of course, the Pacha disco, famous throughout the Dominican Republic, which is located a hundred meters from the hotel, is definitely worth a visit. In addition, almost every pool is full of various fast food, alcohol flows like water, rum of any age, and just wonderful cocktails in the lobby and on the beach. There are also several pools, but swimming in them is simply blasphemy when all the splendor of the ocean is nearby. Another huge plus for us was the almost complete absence of Russians in the hotel. In general, the hotel, though not new, but everything is very decent and clean. On the one hand, the rest turned out to be quiet and calm, and on the other, very cheerful and active.

To begin with, a holiday in Puerto Plata is fundamentally different from a holiday in Punta Cana. Punta Cana has white sands and deeper oceans, but Puerto Plata is a getaway that's a cocktail of fine mountain air and shallow, warm ocean perfect for kids. The hotel is excellent, I do not understand the whining about it. For some, the sand is grayish, someone saw a cockroach, someone was tired of dancing. First, go to the other side of the island. Second, you are in the tropics! Third, don't like dancing - Thailand is a great option, but cockroaches are also found there)). I'll start with accommodation. Although we arrived early in the morning, we were settled in the room immediately, we did not wait for a single extra minute. I rested together with a child, a bungalow room, almost on the very shore of the ocean. The room is spacious, the cleaning is excellent, almost perfect. The floors get dusty every day, and this is unlikely to have been affected by a few bucks in a tip, especially since I did not leave them on the first day of my stay. Wicker furniture, large attic with table and chairs. Our things dried well in the attic, the humidity in the room was normal, nothing smelled of mold or dampness. Based on the fact that this hotel has an excellent children's beach, we stopped our choice on it. Also, one of the important criteria was children's animation. My child took part in all competitions and dances with great pleasure, and even improved his English)). Yes, the ocean in this place is shallow, but there are almost no waves. Swimming from the shore is not at all dangerous, but in some places there are many sea urchins, you should be more careful. The beach is strewn with palm trees, sun loungers are placed in their shade. The palm trees provide great shade and a great tan. It is still worth taking strong sunscreen, because the Dominican sun spares no one, especially delicate baby skin. On the second day, we were already burned, and the child's temperature rose. After a call to the reception, a couple of minutes later the doctor was in the room. The very next day we swam in the ocean again. In general, the service is excellent, nice people who will help in any situation. The food did not disappoint us. Seafood every day, perfectly cooked fish and meat, you could always find a dietary dish for a child. Fruits, vegetables and sweets for every taste, it is simply impossible to stay hungry. From the animators constant dancing and fun, having fun with the child on an equal footing. I recommend this hotel, especially if the holiday includes children.

We are writing this review to warn tourists against THEFT in Rio Merengue!! ! this was our first and last visit to this hotel, and perhaps to Puerto Plata in general. We DID NOT EXPECT such an attitude from a "decent" hotel chain in Rio. Naturally, the impression and mood after the incident was reduced to negativity. It all turned out like this, we were relaxing on the beach, the keys to the rooms and the safe in one bundle, of course, we didn’t take it into the ocean with us to swim, but carefully, without provoking, we wrapped it in a towel and also in and in a beach bag. (it's funny to take everything that you brought to the beach with you to swim). We returned, my husband noticed. that the bag fell off the sun lounger, it was decided perhaps because of the wind, I checked the keys, they were in place, but upon arrival from the beach we found that the keys were not from our room (they all look similar, but the number stamps on the key itself are different), we could not open a door. They called the manager and security, if you can call them that, walked around the room and discovered the loss of personal belongings, and when they opened the safe, it turned out that all valuable things were STOLEN to the penny!! ! were shocked by the words of the hotel manager, who said to all this "this is your problem, you did not save things", but what should we swim with the keys ?? ? rave. And according to the regulations, we put all valuable things in a safe, for which the hotel is already responsible. Everyone quickly dispersed and left us alone with this problem. The next day, with the guide Vasily from Pegasus and the translator, we went to the city police. They wrote a statement and left information about the iPhone. They wrote a letter about our passage to the main company of the Rio hotel chain, to which they sent us a response so that we would fill out a claim form. ALL!!!! ! We are shocked how it is, such an organization and such an attitude. the police, in turn, explained to the manager that compensation must be from the hotel without fail. STOLEN ALL valuables, phone, money, perfume, purchased alcohol as a gift, clothes. HORROR! and all calm walk and smile. Went to the room using that key. which was thrown to us, it turned out that they had a replaced key (that is, earlier they also climbed into this room and stole) this system is already some kind of theft. Of course, it is not surprising that there are not one camera on the territory of the hotel, there is only one security guard for the entire area, they noticed the locals on the beach. . . no security measures for tourists. Vacation was ruined. On weekends, the hotel is filled with local Dominicans, they also need to be patient, noise, din, even the attitude of the staff towards them is more reverent. In general, we decided that people need to know about this and be warned somehow. We are not going to this hotel and hotels in Rio, such an attitude towards gullible tourists is not acceptable. You need to deprive the hotel of stardom, and indeed it barely pulls on 4. THINK BEFORE YOU GO HERE

We flew to the Dominican Republic for the first time, read a lot of reviews, and were a little worried about the hotel, but everything was absolutely in vain. The hotel is wonderful.

We flew to the Dominican Republic for the first time, read a lot of reviews, and were a little worried about the hotel, but everything was absolutely in vain. The hotel is wonderful. We arrived at the hotel in about an hour. They settled immediately and everyone, no one waited. Our room was standard, more than enough for three with a child. The room is nice, cleaned daily and clean. There is a free safe and minibar in the room. Alcohol is also included in the form of: vodka, cognac, gin and rum. We tried everything in a sip, but drank the rum completely. It was cool to sit in the evening, so as not to go to the bar, and sip on a sip. The beach was a very important criterion for us, since the child is only 6 years old, and he still does not know how to swim at all. The beach was wonderful. First of all, it's very beautiful. White sand, everything is dotted with palm trees, there are more than enough sun loungers. The coast is very picturesque. For a dollar, any coconut will be cut off for you, and they hang right over your head. We didn’t get bored until the end of the vacation, we drank coconut milk every day. The ocean is clean, garbage and algae were constantly removed early in the morning. Near our hotel there is a great place for bathing a child, it is shallow and there are no waves. My husband and I went to swim to the right to the territory of the neighboring hotel. There it is already deeper and you can swim, look at the underwater world. Most importantly, the hotel is excellent in terms of price and quality, and we did not even expect what would happen and save additional money on the trip. Seafood was served several times a week, and all different and very tasty. Shrimp, squid, mussels, crabs and much more. The food at the hotel counts around the clock, delicious ice cream for the child, and we also ate it on both cheeks. Meat in various variations, fruits are just the sea. Delicious cheeses for every taste, jamon, grilled meat and fish. By the way, there was fish every day, which was important for me, since I practically don’t eat meat. But the fish is very tasty and juicy. It was possible to go to dinner at a nearby hotel, but we went only once, and realized that we would not find anything new there, and in principle, the restaurant in our hotel was enough for us. There are bars near the pool and on the beach, in addition to the lobby. All the bars made very tasty cocktails, both alcoholic and not. I really liked the non-alcoholic mojito, wonderfully refreshing. Alcohol is all free, but local. They didn’t pay extra for import, they didn’t see the point. For the first time we tried the drink Mamajuana, liked it very much, bought a bottle for home. About entertainment. Animation at the hotel all day long on the beach and by the pool, in the evenings there will be discotheques, you will not be bored. I can’t say anything about children’s animation, since our child always likes to be around, and there was enough entertainment anyway. We took excursions from the tour operator - we liked everything, especially the excursion to the paradise island, a complete delight! If you are not picky and lobster champagne is not your dream, then the hotel is perfect for a holiday in all respects.
