I decided to write about my lonely trip to the Dominican Republic, at the same time tell about the hotel.
I decided on my 28th birthday to go somewhere to an outlandish country, to relax without friends, relatives, etc.
I chose the Dominican Republic, turned to the Bible, they gave me possible tours, offered Barcelo Bavaro BEACH and drew a big sum!
Well, I had to scrape the pockets in old trousers for a couple of days and pay. After 2 weeks (October 15) I was scheduled to fly.
I converted all the money into dollars, the rubles ran out, I had to go by bus to Pulkovo . . I arrived at Pulkovo - the plane was delayed for 2 hours.
Closer to the night we were put on a plane, and we set off. Flying 12 hours, it becomes boring after 10 minutes after departure. I had to immediately go to bed, woke up from hunger - I look - we arrive in time in an hour! Had breakfast, well, that's all - flew in.

Sun, heat, and a strange airport building - the first impressions of the Dominican Republic. Passed control, paid my uncle 10 dollars for a visa and that's it, hello, darling. I met a transfer at the exit, took me to the hotel - it took about 20 minutes to drive.
The hotel immediately liked - all green, clean, tidy. After Anapa '16, it's just a palace. The truth was settled not immediately, only after dinner, but they were allowed to take a walk and have breakfast again at the hotel.
After dinner they settled quickly - looked - everything is not bad - the second floor, if you get tired there is an elevator, the room is very clean and new. Although the TV did not work in the room, but who needs it there anyway. In addition to the TV set, the minibar did not work yet (but this is more offensive), but after the first request to check, a certain not very young man came, twisted it in the minibar, quarreled with him in Spanish, and the minibar worked!
Immediately after checking in, I went to check the sea, or rather, the OCEAN. The ocean there is really good, especially after Anapa. The ocean near the shore is not deep at all, swimming is a pleasure. By the way, compared to the neighboring Barcelo Palace, Barcelo Beach has a much better ocean, and it seems that even algae is much less!
As for food, everything is very good here too. The food is delicious, although sometimes monotonous. By the second week you start to get tired, so I advise you to go to Palace. There is a better beach, there is a kitchen. But in general, the food is always fresh, there is always meat or poultry, a lot of fruit. If you choose from restaurants, then I liked Steak House and La Brisa (this is seafood).
I didn't like the animation, but it's not for men either. When half-naked Dominicans dance, the ladies should still like it, but I'd rather talk about alcohol.
There is also a lot of alcohol, the choice of alcohol will be more diverse than food . . Beer, wine, tequila, vodka, whiskey....what not! But the most pleasant thing is Dominican rum, I have never tried it before, but here - every second day I enjoyed it, I could not resist. Pleasant as the rum itself in it
original form, and cocktails based on it.

I decided to take a local rum home, it turned out very inexpensively. The hotel is better not to take, I went to the store behind the hotel. You can take a free shuttle, they will take you to the store and back. I took Pro from Rebulica, I can advise them, an inexpensive store, and sellers who know about alcohol)) I went on an excursion with them to Santo Domingo, this is the capital of the Dominican Republic, the city of Columbus. By the way, he is also buried there. In general, I also recommend them if you decide to take excursions.
So my 2 weeks passed, I had to return to frosty St. Petersburg. The flight is again at night, I arrive in St. Petersburg during the day, and here it’s below 0 . . Fortunately, the RFP came to the card and you can order a taxi home)))
