Very cool vacation!
There are a couple of cons and a lot of pluses.
I'll start with "-":
1. The reception is far from the hotel exit, and the hotel does not allow sightseeing buses of other companies other than its own to pick up tourists on the territory. It is necessary to take billboys with golf carts and go to the exit - it costs $ 5, although tour operators then deduct this amount from the cost of the tour. Such an inconvenience.
2. Only English and Spanish at the reception. Who does not know languages a translator on the phone to help.
"+":
1. Awesome food:
- meat shaft including milk pigs and jamon;
- seafood - red, white and tuna fish, squid, shrimps, mussels in different preparations - always;
- always fresh different fresh juices;
- a lot of fruits;
- alcoholic drinks like Absolut Vodka and Baileys please;
- different ice cream.
2. A lot of staff and everyone is rustling.
They wrote that they could steal and everything should be kept in safes.
The docks and finances were of course in the safe, everything else was lying around - either the phone was on charge, or so all the chiki-peaks were in place.
3. Many questions about what and where to buy.
Definitely a factory!
Hotel and non-hotel guides are transported to the factories for free.
There are Russian-speaking consultants and tastings.
We were in supermarkets and 2 factories.
If you don’t know what to bring and you don’t care, you can go to the supermarket.
The price of alcohol is about the same that there that there. Only in the supermarket there is not even half of what is in the factory and there you will try and choose everything. Alcohol from rum for every taste to delicious liqueurs.
- Mamahuana at the factory is more expensive, but much tastier!!!
- Organic caribbean cosmetics - the price is the same in the hotel and in the factory. If you know English, you can buy at the hotel, if not, then the factories will tell and show and test. She is very cool!! ! Djumbo supermarket doesn't have it!
If it weren’t for the factory, we wouldn’t have known about the delicious tea with cocoa flavor (WE WATCHED A LOT OF VIDEOS AND THE BLOGGER ABOUT IT THERE IS SILENCE) AND WE DID NOT SEE IT IN STORES.
- We bought caramels in a supermarket, we barely found hot chocolate in a bar in a store - here it is more expensive at the factory (at the factory it is also in bags and very tasty, it was not in the store).
- Chocolate $ 5-7, you can take a sample, but very expensive. Everywhere.
- Sgara cream))) in the pharmacy $ 10 Nivea in the hotel from $ 20. You need a lot of it there, for a family of 4 people. at least 2 pcs. They burn up instantly. Egypt is resting in this regard.
The sockets in the hotel fit our plugs and everything works.
In their DutyFree rum, by the way, is cheaper, stacks of souvenirs are $ 3-4 in stores 5. There are no bazaars nearby.
Regarding excursions, we went with the Republic of PRO:
1. Were in Santo Domingo - super underground lakes, but museums do not work due to quarantine and therefore not very much. With museums it would be much better I think.
2. We went to Samana including a waterfall with horses - this is SUPER!!!
It's not in Anex.
3.
Saona and the City of Artists. The photo on the site is nothing. The city itself is a masterpiece every millimeter. You have to take it there separately to enjoy it.
Well, like everything.
And I want to share another impression about our Guides at the hotel.
1. In America, the sockets are different from ours (and the voltage) - and when they asked about adapters for them, they said that they had to buy it somewhere, and then it was pure luck. The people who flew with us were not afraid to plug our plugs into their sockets, they tell us that in this hotel they are universal and fit our equipment completely and that everything works. How can the people who work in this hotel DO NOT KNOW THIS!!?
2. The hotel hosted various fitness activities, etc.
The guides did not offer us timetables for them and did not tell us anything about them. We accidentally learned about them from a hotel employee who recorded us in restaurants and gave us a printout of these events.
3.
Also, we were not told about the SPA, which we could use on the first day.
4. For that, they played with us in the store and did not forget to tell us about everything that we can buy from them!
5. And it generally killed. I have never seen such a bestial attitude and have not heard from anyone else.
We bought excursions from another company. The check-out was early and we had to take lightboxes with us because we didn’t have time to have breakfast. When we approached our guides and asked about it, and they found out that we didn’t buy excursions from them, they answered us very worthily - THAT IN THE DOMINICAN THERE IS NO CONCEPT OF LUCKBOXES AND IN HOTELS THEY DO NOT GIVE THEM HERE AT ALL !!!
IN THE DOMINICAN, ALL HOTELS GIVE LUCHBOXES and again they were offered to us without any problems by another hotel employee. And I was very surprised by this behavior of OUR GUIDES.
