Married couple.
Honest review.
Arrived at La Romana airport (13 hours of summer), transfer to the hotel (1.5 hours).
Settlement: Registration at the hotel did not take much time. They put on bracelets and issued cards for towels and a card with a room number and a password for WI-FI, but the room was said not yet ready, since the settlement was at 15:00. OK! Went to get acquainted with the hotel, beach infrastructure)
At 15:00 the room is not ready! After a nice conversation with the girl at the reception (a smile does wonders)) we quickly changed the room number on the card and we went to the room. (having previously told the new porter number at the entrance so that our luggage was delivered there)
Number: apparently we were lucky and we were settled in a spacious room designed for a larger number of residents with a great view!
The room was clean enough as it is possible in hotels of this level.
There were all the necessary accessories and even more)
A large number of care products including mouthwash.
(Shower gels, shampoo, disposable razors, sticks, sponges, toothbrushes with paste, etc. )
Pleased with the presence of a clean bath with jacuzzi)
The room had a good electronically controlled safe.
Ironing board.
Instead of an iron, there was a steam generator (at first we didn’t even understand why the air humidity was already high)
Refrigerator with daily replenishment (water, cola, sprite, mirinda and beer - all two each)
Flat TV without Russian channels and usb connectivity!
Hdmi only (so our movie drive had to be put in a suitcase).
The TV was no longer turned on.
If it is important for someone, then you could use smart TV set-top boxes, since the Internet is good throughout the room and the beach (but we forgot the micro TV at home).
We were also delighted with the presence of a coffee maker, but as it turned out, in vain!
A drip-type coffee maker is not at all suitable for making normal coffee (it turned out some kind of warm brown water), although some people like it))
Territory: it makes no sense to write a lot here. The area is beautiful and well maintained. A mini electric train runs for the very lazy)
Excellent two large pools and a pool with jacuzzi. (Oh, and they all love hot tubs)
Restaurants: I think there are nine restaurants on the territory (two All + 7 a la carte)
A la carte must be booked on the day of the visit from 9:00 (a room opposite the reception)
French, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, American steak, etc.
And in the center there is a great coffee shop that brews delicious coffee.
(I advise you to take Irish with whiskey or Caribbean with rum)
Of the seven restaurants, only two were
In Japanese and Italian.
In Japanese there was not a big show with food, but I don’t advise you to wear good things there, as you will be offered to catch food thrown by the cook with your mouth and in case of a miss, the fat shrimp will get on your clothes)))
There are also a lot of bars, but the bar in the pool itself did not work.
There was a bar on the beach, near the pool, a bar at the reception, a bar in the main restaurant and the Marina restaurant near the beach.
Meals: One of the best in hotels of this level and even higher level according to neighbors from other hotels!
There is a lot of everything and everything is quite tasty.
You can eat smoked salmon for breakfast, jamon and blue cheese for lunch))
Everyone will find food to their taste, including a small bar with "healthy" food without salt)
The waiters, like everyone else in the Dominican Republic, are not hurried people, and sometimes you had to wait for wine or salt and pepper. By the way, the pepper in the pepper pots is something incomprehensible, more like finely ground rubbish))
But dry red wine is even very, very (in front of you, they defiantly open it, showing their professionalism in opening bottles in the hope of getting a tip)).
As for tipping, it's up to you.
But this does not particularly affect the service in the future. Not a dollar, not five, not ten, but how lucky.
Back to food. )
Meat fried stew boiled.
Fried fish stew boiled (fish soup was not bad)
Sea food: shrimps, mussels, scallops, both whole and salads from them.
Various side dishes including sycamore (banana) cooked in different ways.
Fruits: bananas passion fruit carom papaya melon mango pineapple, etc.
Separately, I note pineapples - very sweet and juicy!!!
Beach: The beach itself is not big.
Divided into two parts, on one side of the beach bar "Privilege" zone and on the other side for "Everyone else")).
But it didn't cause any inconvenience. Every morning, apparently, a tractor or something similar cleaned the coastline from algae. Therefore, this line was quite clean.
What a stretch could be said about the rest of the beach. And since the people here are not in a hurry, it was possible for several days in a row to observe the same plates and glasses after a meal lying under the sunbeds.
Although someone constantly walked and collected empty glasses, but did not see everything else)
There were enough sunbeds for everyone and there were always plenty of empty seats.
The presence of breakwaters in the water did not spoil our impressions in any way!
30 left or right and a picture of the ocean without breakwaters.
Since the beaches are everywhere municipal, local sellers of coconuts of all kinds of handicrafts roam everywhere and of course they offer excursions! ))
Keep track of your belongings (glasses, phones, etc. ).
In general, I liked the rest!
But sitting in a hotel even so good is not something for which my tailbone endured for 13 hours!!!
Travel around the island, take different excursions and memories will be brighter!!!
(They took from "Anex Tour" and "Dominican Pro" - I liked everything! ) Not advertising)
We went to Saona and Samana with a visit to Mount Radonda.
