Yesterday we returned from the sunny Dominican Republic)))
A little about the rest in this hotel.
About the room fund.
Yes, probably just 4 *. Read a lot of reviews before the trip, and diametrically opposed.
We lived in Gardena. Small houses of 2-3 floors, well-groomed territory, friendly and smiling staff, explaining themselves at the level of gestures, but everything is clear and solvable.
The room was cleaned daily, linen and towels changed too. All gels, lotions, shampoos - everything was added every day. Yes, it is humid, yes, nothing dries, everyone knows where they are going, now the rainy season is ending, the humidity was 95%, they got used to it in a day.
Yes, old furniture, but not falling apart. Sometimes the magnetic keys jammed, but they changed them at the reception and gave new ones.
About nutrition.
It's disgusting to read reviews, such as monotonous, few fish, tasteless fruits... etc. Let's start with the fact that in 10 days we tried only a third of what they cook there. There are always 3-4 types of meat, various salads, cheese and sausage cuts, fruits and vegetables. Cold and hot drinks, fruit, milk and all kinds of cola, tea, coffee, cocoa, insanely delicious ice cream. And about pastries, jams, some unthinkable sauces, flavored oils, you can generally keep silent)))
Each dinner was decorated in a new way restaurant.
The waiters serve well, they will bring wine, drinks, if you don’t want to get up yourself, and the table will be quickly removed and, if something spills or falls on the floor, a warning chip is immediately placed and the cleaning service cleans everything up.
Therefore, complaining about food is simply not serious. Yes, there is little seafood, yes, not always tasty fruits. Pineapple and passion fruit are simply divine. Green passion fruit is sour, but the Cubans advised adding strawberry jam, just fly away !!!
But we are good too! See how much food is put on the plate and how many plates are put on the table, and is it all eaten?
If you haven’t eaten at the restaurant for three times, then you can continue at the beach bar, almost around the clock.
About the beach.
Not very big, yes, but there was always enough space for everyone, sun loungers, both old and new, but everyone has beach towels, covered and enjoy. Who wants to lie in the shade, yes, you need to borrow early in the morning or in the evening. Nothing was ever lost. The beach is cleaned, but many vacationers are just pigs. For garbage, there is where to put everything.
During the day, animators work on the beach, well done, they do not let you get bored. They played bingo and other games, got coffee and rum for the victory, did aerobics.
The evenings were very interesting and entertaining. On a special site between Beach and Garden, an open cafe with tables and chairs, a small stage is organized. Every evening live music and Latin American dances. Animators help and teach how to dance correctly, they themselves move divinely. And then, nearby in a closed hall, a daily show with dance groups begins, they have never been repeated. They enjoyed what they saw.
About the cons. The biggest minus is the Russian tourists themselves, who, at times, do not know any measure and nothing. Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, and then triumphal performances on stage or on the beach. Under the general laughter and finger-pointing, "Russo Turisto". We were ashamed of all of us from time to time. The bulk of vacationers are Latin Americans, there are Americans, and Italians, and more. Everyone drinks, but only we behave so ugly!!!
What you need to know in terms of life. We need adapters, we bought houses for forty rubles and there were no problems. You can buy on the spot for 2-3 dollars. The American toilet system is unusual, but it works. The clothes were dried when they left, the air conditioner was turned on to the hottest and things were hung closer.
About excursions. Used only AnexTour. We just decided for ourselves. Expensive, definitely, but if possible, you need to see a little. We visited the capital of Santo Domingo, the colonial part, the excellent guide Nastasya, historically savvy inside and out, I liked visiting the cave lakes, unforgettable, just a lost world))) We took the second excursion on Samana Peninsula. Also unforgettable. We saw the Atlantic, this is not the gentle Caribbean Sea, but, indeed, the ocean, very beautiful. We were in the small town of Santa Barbara, where a number of fabulous colored houses stand on the main street. There we also visited Bacardi Island, where the eponymous video about rum was filmed. A beautiful, palm-sunny island, where they bought and sunbathed, saw a huge starfish, but, alas, in the hands of a local photographer)))
Someone used the services of Pedro-Tour. We were satisfied, we just didn’t dare, they said that the drivers were a little crazy there and therefore didn’t go. The prices are lower.
Internet. You can use the pool for an hour, very weak. It is better to buy a local SIM card for $5 and live in clover, talking for hours with the whole world for a penny.
Small conclusion.
You have to go and have fun. But with a positive attitude, you'll be fine : )
I liked the rest, we are thinking to come again, but with our grandchildren, because the sea is beautiful, especially for children.
