So far, the memories are fresh from the trip, although I would like to share my impressions about the past vacation in the Dominican Republic. We rested at the Grand Palladium Bavaro hotel, this is one of the best hotels in a huge resort complex on the famous Bavaro beach, the beach is famous for its cleanest water, the relative absence of algae, white sand, in a word, if you think of the Dominican Republic, imagine a classic Caribbean picture, then choose the beach Bavaro. The hotel is not just big, but huge, even hikers like us gave up on the third day and started using special shuttles to move around the territory (it’s impossible to get around even in an hour). We lived in a Master Junior Suites room, which, by the way, most of it is a class slightly higher than the usual standard room with a balcony, a large room with a bed, a sofa for relaxing, armchairs, a large TV and a minibar. The interior is designed in bright colors, but pleasing to the eye, the room is quite juicy. Since the territory is huge, early in the morning you need to either go straight to the beach or take a place by the pool, where there is more shade. The active Dominican sun in this sense does not spare anyone. By the way, be sure to purchase local protection, and with the highest degree of protection. In the Dominican Republic, I got burned for the first time, although I always thought that my skin was maximally adapted to the sun's rays. If you go to the beach, it is better to do it early in the morning. The fact is that after 10 am, active migration of vacationers from neighboring hotels begins (both from our complex and from everyone nearby) and it becomes not very comfortable. The lack of a private beach is definitely a minus. We especially felt the atmosphere of solitude subtly when we took excursions with visits to private beaches (for example, 2 bananas in the Dominican Republic have such ones, I don’t know about other agencies, I didn’t look). If you are looking for an atmosphere of unity, then, in principle, you can find it by the far pool, which is located in the Palace section (at least, on our arrival there was almost always not crowded). Animation in the hotel is at a good level. Especially for children. The hotel, by the way, in my experienced opinion, is perfect for this, there are many families with small children (mostly Americans). There are no separate areas for bathing children, each of the 4 pools has a children's tank (like an appendix), but this does not bother anyone at all. Animation for adults arranges interesting programs by the pools and in the lobby (in the same place as the reception), plus you can have a good time there before dinner with a big company. As for food, gourmets definitely need to go here, because I have never seen such an abundance of different thematic food outlets anywhere else. The tourist flow is large and, accordingly, you need to please everyone. We rested at the hotel for 9 days (the last day we already flew away in the afternoon, so a full 8 days) and went to an a la carte restaurant every evening, and only by the end of the vacation we realized that we had never repeated ourselves in choosing a place and did not have time to get around everything! Big praise to the chefs of this complex!

We went to the Dominican Republic as a couple, the rest turned out just awesome and very romantic! I want to say that a year ago we rested in the Maldives, there is something to compare with. What is important for us! ? - Nutrition. The food was very good: chicken, meat, a lot of seafood, fruits, juices.

We went to the Dominican Republic as a couple, the rest turned out just awesome and very romantic! I want to say that a year ago we rested in the Maldives, there is something to compare with. What is important for us! ? - Nutrition. The food was very good: chicken, meat, a lot of seafood, fruits, juices. If you get bored with the main restaurant, you can visit one of the a la carte. Second, the number. Our room was standard, without an ocean view, but it suited us very well. The area of the room is large, the bed is also large, all the plumbing is snow-white, the towels are clean, in short everything is in order. Further territory. The territory of the hotel is huge and very green, birds and beautiful plants are everywhere, you just have time to take pictures. The ocean is beautiful, some algae, but tolerable, and they are absolutely not prickly. If I had to choose between the Dominican Republic and the Maldives, I would choose the Dominican Republic again. And not because the hotel is better (both times we booked at the same Unitours travel agency on Akademicheskaya, both times the managers advised ideal hotels), but because the Dominican Republic itself is somehow livelier, the people here are bright and positive and very simple, and also here many excursions.

Having surfed the Internet and having read the information to the point of numbness, we found very favorable conditions for booking and buying a tour. It turned out to be the site of the tour operator Sunmar. ru. I was attracted by the fact that a very easy and convenient tour search system was developed on the site, which gave us the opportunity to quickly and without losing precious time, order the desired tour through the online booking system. And even more pleased were the favorable conditions on the SUNMAR ACTION page (because we booked our trip in advance, we were given a 40% discount). Everything was very fast, professional, convenient and most importantly for us, cheap. Sunmar really gave us the opportunity to have a good and not expensive rest. Although there were worries about this, because there is an opinion that cheap does not mean high quality. We lived in GRAND PALLADIUM PUNTA CANA RESORT & SPA. The hotel area is very large. Everything is neat and very tidy. Around go peacocks, flamingos and hefty butterflies fly. It seems that you are in the Garden of Eden. And the birds sing in the morning. Sometimes you don't even want to wake up. The hotel rooms are modest but clean (cleaning is done every day). In general, the hotel left a very good impression. By the way, women need to take as many beautiful things as possible, because in the evening there are places to go: to discos, restaurants, festivities where live music sounds. The restaurants have a huge assortment of alcohol, a lot of fruits and different dishes. We rested on Glory. Thanks to the tour operator Sunmar for the quality of the services provided.

I have just arrived from the Dominican Republic, this is a country, because I have just been here for the first time, and now I am looking forward to my vacation in order to fly there again, namely to the GRAND PALLADIUM DAVARO RESORT & amp; SPA. The hotel room is chic, the balcony overlooks the sea, a jacuzzi, well, what else do you need. Everything is sterile clean, there are no cockroaches anywhere, this is a very important point, I have a terrible allergy to them. A very large hotel with all the amenities, that is, entertainment and sports here are varied, and besides, everything is free. Palm trees grow everywhere on the territory, and generally go to the sea for 2 minutes. Also, the climate was suitable for relaxation, I immediately got used to it, since my body gets used to changes for a long time, especially climatic ones. For all this pleasure, I need to thank Sanmara, because it was he who recommended me to taste the Dominican Republic, since I have never been here, and I was satisfied.
Cool, as I remember, tears are climbing up, I really didn’t want to leave, that’s why I threw a coin in order to fly here again.

It's hard to call it a hotel, it's more correct to call it a mini-city : ) This is a whole complex of hotels, which consists of several large hotels. Of the pleasant opportunities that if you settle in one of the hotels, you can immediately use the services of the entire complex. Through the site, Sanmara quickly found the right tour to the Dominican Republic, the prices turned out to be quite bearable, so I immediately booked tours.

When I got to the hotel itself, I was pleasantly surprised. Sanmar warned that the hotel is very beautiful and has a large area, but what I saw still amazed me. There is a paravozik on the territory, and if you are too lazy to walk, you can use its services. I also visited a disco, which is also located on this territory. The locals also said that there is an amphitheater, but I never got to it. Too many impressions that could not fit into my length of stay. I will definitely go there again. The room I stayed in was also very spacious. Everything corresponded to the size of the complex itself. The bathroom was equipped with a Jacuzzi. Bed linen pleasantly fresh. The hotel has an amazing clean and well maintained beach. The hotel has a very high level of comfort. Everything is clean without foreign unpleasant odors, unnecessary living creatures were also not observed. Eat went to all the restaurants in turn. The food is very tasty, I was especially surprised by the variety of delicious fresh juices and cocktails.

Rested at the Grand Palladium Bavaro Resort Spa & Casino in April 2009, together with her husband. As usual, I bought plane tickets myself from Air France, the price and quality of service were quite satisfactory, the flight went perfectly. The hotel was booked through a friend of mine already on vacation on the island. Bali travel agency "Travel! ". As practice has shown, the managers there are not at all bad and this hotel was chosen by common efforts, which I did not regret for a second. The hotel itself is a complex of buildings, restaurants, cafes and entertainment facilities, and even combined with three other hotels in its group, the territory of two of them Grand Palladium Punta Cana and Grand Palladium Palace, are fully accessible to those living in the Grand Palladium Bavaro and in general there are no borders have. In my hotel, the buildings were two-story, with 8 rooms, all rooms with balconies, large, I had a simple deluxe room, a bathroom combined, which is not very convenient. There were no special complaints about the cleaning of the room, except that the towels sometimes came across a little grayish. The room had a TV (Russian channel for money), an electronic safe, a hairdryer, an iron with a board, a mini-bar, a coffee machine, Internet access (for a fee), plumbing is not new, but everything worked quite well. On the common territory there are 4 large good pools, all with "wet" bars, the bars themselves on the territory of the hotel, including the beach, cannot be counted. My husband and I liked the drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, always and everywhere were in abundance. In general, food in this hotel is just a problem - in the sense it is impossible to resist how much everything is and how delicious everything is, I want to try it. I still suffer because of the extra 2-3 kg brought from there! Dancing with cheerful animators did not help either. There are 11 restaurants on the territory, we visited almost all of them and liked them all very much, especially Mexican, Asian, Brazilian, Japanese, well, everything is impossible to list. Only the Germans spoiled the impression a little with their indefatigable noise. For breakfast, we constantly went to the main restaurant of the Cathedral, there is an unimaginable buffet. There is everything! And everything is cooked with soul, interesting and tasty. . I can’t tell you anything new about the beach - it is GREAT, INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL!! ! Just look at the photos of eyewitnesses. One problem is the beds. Enterprising Germans occupy them at dawn (the time difference helps them get up early). I had to take turns with my husband to take them at dawn, otherwise I would have to melt in the heat. And the sun is not a joke there - complete burning in 3-4 minutes. Although there were such fans there, all in oil lay naked on the beach all day. By the way, topless sunbathing is the norm for the Dominican Republic. But the Atlantic Ocean is still more beautiful than all these uninvited nymphs - I have not seen such a play of colors anywhere, even on about. Bali. Although comparing the two resorts is not very easy, each has its pros and cons. On about. Bali is only an ebb tide, but it is easy to get along in peace with it. But in the Dominican Republic it is impossible to leave the hotel - there is no dirt around, shopping and cultural attractions at all. And this is much worse in my opinion. And yet, after three months from this vacation, returning from European Nice - How I miss you, hot Dominican Republic!

TERRITORY. The huge one consists of three 5 * hotels: Bavaro, in the middle of Punta Cana, followed by the Palace. You can use the services of the entire complex. Bavaro has a more elongated territory and from the reception to the sea about 1 km. Palace - the territory is the most compact. Reception, behind it is a pool, behind it is a restaurant on the beach and a beach.

TERRITORY. The huge one consists of three 5 * hotels: Bavaro, in the middle of Punta Cana, followed by the Palace. You can use the services of the entire complex. Bavaro has a more elongated territory and from the reception to the sea about 1 km. Palace - the territory is the most compact. Reception, behind it is a pool, behind it is a restaurant on the beach and a beach. In Bavaro, we were settled near the reception, it was close to the restaurant, far from the sea. But it's even good to take a walk after such hearty breakfasts. The reception, the lobby bar is not very good, it's better in the Palace. Bavaro has a disco and an amphitheater. In general, you should not be lazy, but you should use the maximum of the territory, and not sit in one place. A train runs around the territory, but we hardly used it, we walked on foot. In the very first days, we climbed the entire territory of the complex, learned all the short cuts. Lots of shops near Bavaro and Palace.
ROOM. Excellent, spacious, bathroom is huge, with shower, jacuzzi and toilet. There are toiletries, a hair dryer, a safe, a mini-bar replenished as it was empty, a coffee maker, coffee, tea, main board, iron, air conditioning (almost never used), a fan, a TV in the closet, in general, everything you need. The rooms were cleaned normally, no what insects were not (and on the territory in general). The room was dry (because far from the water), although our friends from Punta Cana and Palas (we met there) complained about the humidity in the rooms.
POOLS. Everyone liked the pools in Punta Cana more, they went there to see friends. In general, there are about 4 of them in the whole complex.
RESTAURANTS. The best main restaurant in Bavaro, friends from Punta Cana and Palace came to us for breakfast and dinner. The choice is simply HUGE, there are a lot of vegetables, meat, fish, fruits, fresh juices in the morning, etc. We dined we are in a restaurant on the beach, there is less choice, but we just didn’t want to trudge into the main restaurants. In Bavaro, there are more a la carte restaurants. For a change, we visited almost everything, we liked it. Reservations are not required in advance. If the tables are occupied, they give you a type of pager, while you are walking, the table is free and it calls.
BARS. There are a lot of them - on the beach, in the pools, at the reception, etc. , you will be given a map where they are all indicated. Delicious cocktails are made in the lobby at the reception.
SERVICE. Unhurried, you just have to take it for granted and relax. Almost no tips were given. The staff is very friendly and smiling. They don’t speak Russian. Our hotel guide Vadim (Tez Tour) was at the reception in the Palace every evening, all issues could be resolved with him , although there weren’t many questions. In the Palace at the reception there was one Dominican Michel cat. He understood and spoke a little Russian. He advised us to go to the Palma Real shopping center, the bus runs from the reception free of charge according to the schedule. There we bought a SIM card for a mobile phone Orange
BEACH. It is beautiful, I won’t write much, it’s written about it everywhere. Sunbeds (which are under umbrellas) must be occupied in the morning. We went to the Palace on the beach. By the way, if you go further along the beach behind the Palace there is a market with souvenirs. You have to bargain (3-5 times the prices are too high)
EXCURSIONS. We went to the City of Artists - Saona (SUPER!!! ), Santo Domingo (didn't really like it, boring) and the Dominican outback.
All in all, we enjoyed our vacation immensely! The main thing is not to bother with all sorts of little things, which are full everywhere in which country and hotel you will not go.
