Another time we rest in the Dominican Republic. The description will be based on the description of hotels on the sites.
The difference between the two twin hotels (the first Majestic Elegance, the second Majestic Colonial) only in money (Elegance - the most expensive, Elegance Club - in general! ), The presence of children (they are everywhere, but position Elegance only 18+ - a complete lie !! ! ! ) and many receptions, where they understand only Spanish and if you do not know it, then travel to the main reception. In Colonial you immediately travel to the main reception.
there are almost no racists. If they are, they do not shine. I saw two families hanging flags on the balcony. Morons ...and here without the policy cannot.

Number: Colonial Jr. Suite, 4th floor Abandoned, a lot of glass doors with a plaque, trying to cover all these troubles with flowers are not the first freshness and lots of towels, which on the 10th day is almost no longer added - see? you will leave here in 2 days! Room overlooks the garden and pool.
The room has a balcony, double bed, Jacuzzi for two in the room and on its own terrace (nahiba? ), Shower (3 modes, nozzles clogged with dirt and plaque), hair dryer for short hair (! ), TV with 2 Russian channels and many foreign languages, air conditioning, ceiling fan (buzzing like an airplane engine), minibar (free, must be filled every day, but sometimes forgotten. iron and board. Incredibly good Wi-Fi signal, pleasantly surprised, catching everywhere, talking to parents every day on Skype or Viber. Even on the beach by the ocean the signal was great! ! ! ! ! We lived in the Elegance Club, so we had additional services)))): own beach with tents with a musty smell, frozen, separate registration at the settlement - where? Registered as regular guests.
24-hour room service - drinking water, which they poked to put, waited until dinner, then went to the reception, came and took. But! Why write about it on the sites and tell? Write: around the clock at any reception you can take drinks in your room in unlimited quantities! Champagne, sliced ​ ​ fruit and 2 sandwiches carefully wrapped in cling film - were when settled in the room! And again a lie on the site - butler services, beach towels in the room? Where was it all? Towels for the beach: you get a bracelet (don't lose !! ! - $ 70) at the reception or VIP at the reception and 2 cards are issued for towels (don't lose !!! ! $ 40 leather). Every day you come to the beach and change these cards for towels, there are options when you are told he has no towels and a silly smile, and sometimes you want to change it again for cards and wait for that asshole 1.5 hours or you can not wait.
The room has a pillow menu, 2 bathrobes of normal size, slippers. A gift from the hotel is a bottle of rum, a bottle of cream liqueur and Yeltsin vodka. Cleaning on "3" - they do not have time when the hotel is fully booked. And this is strange, because the hotel is not new and Americans come there for Christmas and New Year.

Restaurants, bars: Two bars in front of the ocean with drinks for every taste - really great! ! ! ! ! Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the Buffet (main restaurant), breakfast and lunch at the a la carte restaurant "Il Botaccio (Italian type)))) dinner only by appointment from 8.00 am at any reception? Remember the language? ). Also by appointment and only in the evening French restaurant Gourmand, Japanese-Chinese-Korean 9 Doors (sushi type))))). After the last two, we went to other restaurants. The coolest are the steak house and the restaurant by the ocean with seafood.
Location of the hotel: did not lie, really 30-40 kilometers, everything is very picturesque))), given the arrival at 19.00-20.00.
The elevators work fine, there is a gym (towels, water, shower). But the scales are only in the medical unit))).
Many foreigners went to the Spa. As they say in Odessa: yes! Prices are incredible! Body massages average from 55 (25 minutes) to 135 dollars (75 minutes).
The pools seem to be clean, but I personally have an allergy to chlorine, so I slapped myself once, covered myself with red spots and went to the beach by the ocean. What I did not see the pool with chlorine? )))) Although Germans, Americans and many other foreigners still like to splash in the pool. It's even better - the place by the ocean was dark!
Beach: clean, swept, sunbeds, tables, umbrellas of palm leaves. The coast is clean. Sunset in the sandy ocean. But be careful - there are very bad waves.
Animation: Here we must pay tribute. Americans know how to relax, and accordingly, the animation is designed for them.

Volleyball tournaments, beauty contests, etc. are constantly held on the beach. Or you can look at the newlyweds as they sign))). By the pools, as a rule, from 16.00 - mandatory entertainment, competitions, foam disco, learning Latin dance (there are many! ) And so on. In the evening, after dinner - 1-1.5 hours you dance to live music or just relax with a delicious cocktail and watch others dance. Somewhere at 9.30 pm you go to the big hall and watch a play, a circus, a concert, etc. We rested for Catholic Christmas. Believe me - there was a lot of fun! ! ! ! ! ! ! After the show in the lobby, you can go for a walk, sleep, eat or drink again, go to the Coco Bongo disco in the city (something fashionable now they have - $ 120 per person, enter everything, transfer) or go to the disco, which is located on borders with the Majestic Colonial Hotel. Admission is free for you and drinks too. For neighbors, admission is free, drinks are paid. There is a casino - I did not go there, I do not know anything.
Shops: for the second time. ))) Experience is.
So: you do not need to go shopping (transfer is free, pre-order at any reception; remember the language)))). Between Majestic Elegance and Majestic Colonial there is a whole street of shops. The best before departure - the most interesting in terms of prices. The first time we went on a tour and we were taken to the "Matryoshka" spent bad money. Another time, I walked around all the shops, priced, bargained a bit and went on a reconnaissance to "Matryoshka" (now another name) and saw that the range of shit and prices are sky-high for every little thing and coffee. You should buy rum and cigars from Matryoshka. The rest in the far shop. Compare: ground coffee / 1 pound beans - $ 7 in the shop and $ 10 in beans, $ 8 ground at Matryoshka. Plate, magnet - in the store 4-10 dollars, the same for shopping from 7 to….
Excursions: cholera, expensive. In 2012 and 2015, prices did not change. +/- remained the same in dollars. Only the dollar has grown "a little".
The Catalina VIP tour costs $ 175 per person, but we all took a look and ate deliciously.
But as they say here in Ukraine: rest is still better than work! You must travel for at least 12 days. During these days you completely go to all the restaurants, try everything they cook and serve. Sunbathe wonderfully!
