HOTEL. The first thing the guide told us when we arrived at the hotel was that the most of all hotels are stolen here. At first we were shocked, but as it turned out, in vain. We of course money with dokum. cleaned in a lockable suitcase, but the safe was not taken. A photographer traveled with us, she left the camera not closed for 200 thousand beech and everything was in place. There were no signs of someone rummaging through things. Maybe lucky. Settled in quickly. The room was in the BEACH building (take it there) near the beach. The territory is quite large. Between the buildings, and there are 15 of them, a train runs every 5 minutes. around the clock. Very friendly staff. Always smiling. They are trying to learn Russian, Russian words are so funny. There is one Serb, Mario, who speaks Russian quite well. The maid left $ 1 and a chocolate bar, always thanked. Animation active-always what happened near the beach. Not all restaurants worked, because the hotel was 40% full.
The room was like from the picture, everything worked, there was everything you needed - soap and water accessories, and an iron and a hairdryer and a mini bar with coolness. drinks (water, sprite, cola) The territory is green, well-groomed, clean. several ponds, swamps. Ducks swim there, peacocks and herons walk.
ACCLIMATIZATION. We were 11 hours away from home. arrived at 14:00. were at the hotel at 17.30, ate at 20.00 were already in the cut. On the trail. day woke up at 4.00. While the sun was shining until 19.00. there was cheerfulness, after all - a veil on the eyes. Didn't make it to the evening show. And once we're back, we can't go back. During the day we sleep for 3 days - at night - we wake up. There are problems with water. You can’t drink from the taps, only bottled, they brought a new one every day, but if you stand for 2 days it smells like a swamp. After 2 days of drinking this water, my stomach could not stand it - sorry, 2 days of diarrhea and did not know how to make up for dehydration. I found chamomile tea in a restaurant and drank it.

Then I tried not to drink water, I really wished that I didn’t take mineral water with me. The day before check-out, go to the reception and tell CHECK BEALS. Your account will be checked to see if you have any debts. they sometimes mistakenly issue invoices to you. it was time to figure it out. WiFi internet is expensive. 1 hour -$10, per day. -20$. We took a day, but after 18 hours. no longer worked. We didn’t go to figure it out - it was too lazy, we already got on.
FOOD. Lots of food in the main restaurant. Seafood every dinner, meat, vegetables, fruits a lot of everything. We were given cards for 2 visits per week to restaurants on the reservation. We went to one sleepy at 20.00 and waited for the order, as expected, in the restaurant min. 40-50, quite sleepy ate, and decided to go to the Swede. restaurant. There was a grill bar on the beach, they made pizza. But almost the same food quickly gets boring. I wanted borscht and something homemade, then this soup with seafood and oysters is so tired)))).
I understand that we probably snickered from so much food. Of the fruits were awesome pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, melon, watermelon. Mangoes are not in season right now. freshly squeezed juices in the morning.
Beach. This is without comment. Insanely beautiful ocean, horizon, light, clean sand, moderate waves. You can walk along the coast along the entire length of the coastline, i. e. up to 60m. beach from the water belongs to the state. Our beach is the best - more even, and there are fewer waves. The water was 26°C. It is not recommended to sunbathe from 11–14.00 – you burn out. They give cards for towels - you change dirty ones for clean ones on the beaches, and when you leave, back to the card.
MONEY. PURCHASES. . Calculated $. There are shops on the territory of the hotel - they are expensive, do not buy, especially in the shop at the reception. There, an adapter for an outlet costs $ 7, and on the market, a cat. located to the left of the exit. hotel (behind the barrier) $1–2. There you can buy rum, trinkets, magnets - they are cheaper than in supermarkets, in a cat.
brought on excursions. Cocoa, coffee, coconut oil are better to take on excursions from plantations.

TOURS. We went on a jeep safari and on about. Saona. Jeep safari. $99 from host us. parties – Travel Service. Driving a Suzuki Jimmy Jeep. Rights are not needed, the main thing is to be able to drive a mechanic. a column of jeeps goes first to a sugarcane plantation, then to a supermarket, then to the mountains to a plantation of fruits, coffee, cocoa - they tell everyone there, let them try everything, then we go to the ranch - ride a bungee, horses, have lunch, then to a wild beach Macau, we swim there and drive back. Full day tour from 7.00 to 18.00. We learned a lot about the country, drove a car, saw a lot.
O. Saona. $90 first 1.5h. by bus, to the pier, then by boat to the catamaran, then on it for 1.5 hours. with music, dancing, drinks. The beauty is incredible to sail in the Caribbean. We moor to the island, and there is a snow-white besok, a coast of beautiful shells (several.
grabbed for memory), palm trees are bent. There's lunch and 3 o'clock. free pastime. The Caribbean Sea is incredibly turquoise, quiet. We swam enough, then on boats we sail to the starfish - at a distance of several. km from Belega, the depth is waist-deep, and at the bottom there are starfish. They are allowed to be pulled to the surface for 5 seconds, if longer, they will die. Don't forget about it - beg for this priceless fauna. And on the boats we return to the pier. The tour is also for the whole day. Indescribable beauty. Of course, having been in the Dominican Republic and not visiting about. Saonu and the Caribbean is a sin)))))
Flight. We flew from transaero. I've read a lot of bad things about them. There was only one minus - not enough food. Fed 2 times. at 12 o'clock But there were lashes and socks and a blindfold for sleeping, and individual headphones, and the screens worked and even films were shown. Polite staff. The flight was calm. Before landing, it is better to change into a minimum amount of clothes, because.
AND TAKE PANTHENOL (spray or foam) AN EXCELLENT REMEDY FOR BURNS AND AFTER SUN BATHING. SKIN REGENERATES QUICKLY AND tans evenly.
I WISH WHO HAVE NOT BEEN YET - A MAGIC, FANTASTIC, PARADISE REST.
