Hello dear tourists, as well as all those interested.
I join all the positive reviews and do not understand those who did not have enough food or attention, entertainment or booze. Just an abundance of dishes, all kinds of side dishes, six types of ice cream, according to the system, put it yourself in your bucket. And the main coveted attribute of the Ruso-tourist is SHRIMP!! ! eat every day, twice a week chilled tiger as a separate dish, and every day in a cauldron stewed with vegetables with squid and mussels or periodically stewed with oysters in cream on the fish table. In bars, nothing was ever expected by a maximum of one tourist in front of you, if there are more people, then 6-8 bartenders immediately come up. The territory of the main pool was reconstructed. Now these are three large rectangular pools with sunbeds, and in the pool with a bar there are also underwater banquettes and tables.
Around the pools there is constant animation, not intrusive, exciting and fun. Also, animators or bartenders periodically begin to spontaneously dance, sing or rap, but as soon as people grab their cameras, the phenomenon resolves. The beach is beautiful, just walk to the neighboring Iberostar or save bayia beach. you will immediately understand the difference. It’s good that we didn’t go to these hotels, rightly judging by the reviews - the main thing in a vacation in the Dominican Republic is the azure sea-ocean, white sand and luxurious palm trees bizarrely similar to giant mushrooms.
Internet wi-fi, free throughout the hotel works quickly. On the territory in the room and on the beach. Come to the reception, to any administrator, he takes your phone, call the room number, and the administrator himself connects everything.
Slightly lowered the rating for the hotel accommodation category, put 5-, we got a strange room. You enter the door in front of you a mirror.
You pass to the right, everything is fine in the room - two twin lorries, a safe, a refrigerator, an iron and an ironing board. Above the refrigerator, as I called it Buhlonaccounter. But right in front of the bed is the entrance to the bathroom, if you go to the tub at night, then turn on the light that illuminates the beds through the open door and the ventilation will turn on. That is, it is impossible not to wake each other up. Why they didn’t make the entrance to the bathroom classically, from the corridor, and didn’t hang a mirror over the chest of drawers, we didn’t understand, because women need to put on makeup in front of the mirror, and so the spouse takes lipstick, runs into the corridor, back for mascara, for a comb, in general, a joke, you will say that you can paint in the bathroom, at the mirror, yes, and no, there are no countertops, two sinks are installed, and there is little room between them. But these are trifles, we had plenty of scoffing at the designer, and quickly stopped noticing the inconvenience.
A big hello to your beloved Pegasus for the VIP tour to Saona Island.
Contrary to the promises of the hotel guide, the bus was replaced by a mikrik, more like a gazelle. In the city of artists, there is no smell of artists, not a single painting is exhibited. Around the city of millionaires, so as not to see us, the millionaires built a bypass road and a checkpoint at the entrance, there are no pitchforks of Shakira and Bill Gates to see. There are no sea stars. Tourists exterminated everyone, and besides, now, a law has come into force, according to which a fine of $ 600 for getting a star, and if it dies, three months in prison. Police officers in civilian clothes are put on the boats, who are watching the tourists. A strange person sat down in ours, who did not talk to anyone and did not appear on the return catamaran. Lies about the lobster, one whole per person was promised, but they gave a cut lobster carcass across, that is, to eat half the tail of a giant shrimp without claws.
In addition, the meat was loose and not tasty, probably the lobsters were of the second or even third freshness, while the key to the delicious taste of any seafood is freshness. Of course, we were not deprived of the main thing. Interesting stories of the guide, a gorgeous island and super pictures. Maybe we just don't understand foreign words? For example, is there a Naiboa hotel in the RIO system? and as an alternative in Russian-Pegasus-Dominican, the word VIP should probably be understood as "The Adventures of Pinocchio".
I will touch on the theme of the flight in the review. She was very worried about us, we also need to get 1000 km to Moscow. In order to brighten up the need to spend four days of vacation on the road, they paid extra for a business class flight, but in reviews not on hotels, not on aviation forums, descriptions of the services provided by the North Wind airline were not found. I'll tell you a little.
At Sheremetyevo, at check-in, they give vouchers that look like boarding passes, you can go to the Galaktika or Cosmos business lounge, and then when the flight was announced to be delayed by 30 minutes, we switched to the second. The halls are similar. There were fewer people in Space, and he himself was smaller, we serve snacks ourselves, the bartender pours drinks, there were a lot of people in the Galaxy and complete self-service. On board the aircraft, the seats are luxurious, each seat in a separate booth folds out 180 * in pastel. They give out slippers, ear plugs, a blanket, a pillow, a toothbrush with paste, an eye patch, a sponge and a shoehorn. It makes no sense to pay for choosing a place in advance. Previously, the planes belonged to the EVA AIR airline and the multimedia entertainment system has not yet been reprogrammed, there is no Russian language, so they didn’t give out headphones, of course you can use your own, but then the sound is heard only in one ear. Phone charger 110V. or USB.
Food in flight 2 times, surprisingly tasty, the stewardess comes and offers three hot dishes to choose from. Served on ceramic dishes, metal appliances, glass goblets. Drinks are served without restrictions as well as alcoholic. There is a video on youtube at the link https://youtu. be/qufg7wgtfoM. On the way back, they didn’t give vouchers at the Punta Cana airport, the guide said that the Business Lounge was only for an additional fee even for business class passengers, but they couldn’t verify this statement, as they tasted and chose various varieties of rum from the imposing Dutik sellers, in As a result, only to landing and ripened. But they brought delicious outlandish drinks to the New Year's table.
In the end, it is worth mentioning the inevitable question of comparing a trip to the Dominican Republic with Turkey and Egypt. This question was of interest to us and to us upon our return, it is constantly asked by household members and acquaintances.
The absolute advantage of the Domenicana is white sand beaches and a turquoise ocean, the quality of alcohol, cheeses and other semi-finished meat products, exotic fruits. Refusal to buy souvenirs in a gift shop or beach vendor only causes locals to smile, not curse in gibberish. And what kind of music? It's impossible not to dance. The hotel staff leaves a good impression, there is no this infamous intimate concern for the female sex, although maybe only I found a plus in this?
At the same time, when it comes to assessing the level of service, it is worth noting that the cost for a standard in Rio Bambu varies depending on demand, ranging from 130 to 180 euros per day, for Turkey, and even more so for Egypt, it is very expensive, whatever Dolphin palazzo, but we haven’t been there, but what a good idea we need to go and compare, and fly with Aeroflot and business class, from St. Petersburg, it’s more convenient for us from St. Petersburg to take the Lastochka train twice a day, who doesn’t know, Aeroflot received this on December 11.2017 called the tourist Oscar, including in the nomination of the best business class, oh, I dreamed? How much money is needed? I’m finishing my writing, and I’ll go to work on a new vacation to earn money.
