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.

I stipulate in advance that I do not belong to that category of dissatisfied tourists who see only minuses. This was my first trip to the Dominican Republic. I chose this hotel because it seemed to me colorful and smaller in relation to other offers, I do not like too big hotels. In the assessment I chose "9" not because the hotel does not pull higher.

I stipulate in advance that I do not belong to that category of dissatisfied tourists who see only minuses. This was my first trip to the Dominican Republic. I chose this hotel because it seemed to me colorful and smaller in relation to other offers, I do not like too big hotels. In the assessment I chose "9" not because the hotel does not pull higher. In any case, this four-star hotel is much better than Turkish 5 * +, I can say this with confidence. I flew to the Dominican Republic on a direct Aeroflot flight, no complaints. The host of Lanta-tur and Travel-service also did not cause any complaints, there was a comfortable transfer without a hitch. They warned that they might not be able to check into the hotel immediately, since the check-in time is at 12 or 13 o’clock, however, upon arrival at the hotel at 10 o’clock, I was already given a pre-prepared envelope with a key and other amenities such as a hotel map, entertainment schedules and the work of all restaurants and bars, other hotel facilities. The hotel consists of two parts, stretched towards the road. The reception is located in the part closest to the ocean, it is smaller, I was settled in this part, which suited me, 5 minutes to the ocean, it can be seen from the balcony of the room, but this was not the key for me. In this part of the hotel, which was important for me, the main movement is concentrated - the reception with a lobby bar and a shop, a sports bar, a disco, a gym. In this part of the hotel there are two swimming pools, a snack bar, a pool bar, a beach bar. In short, the main mover. But living here is not suitable for those people who love peace and quiet, for them - the second side of the hotel. A tram runs on the other side of the reception, which smiled, there are real bus stops with palm roofs, and there are many of them, the tram will bring you to any object on the other side. I visited there in the last days when I met a tourist who lived there. There is silence, two large pools, a lot of greenery, a mini-reception, in short, you can also live. And the bar is just right inside the pool.
My room suited me, I repeat, I rest without complaints in principle. Cleaned clean, daily, with the maid in general, we somehow liked each other, and she was ready to do more than she was obliged, and completely disinterestedly. Maybe it was my meager tip - $1 a day - that did the trick, but I liked that attitude. The rooms in the hotel are different, more often this is due to which are newer, which are better. But I have no complaints. Any problems related to accommodation (for example, my air conditioner was weakly cold) were resolved immediately through managers. The food at the hotel is normal, there was always fish and chicken (I don’t like meat), though not very varied, still 4 stars, but it didn’t bother me - they fed me like for slaughter. There were so many fruits and such that I didn’t even remember the names of all, and I have never tried such delicious pineapples in my life! The animation team is just super - such energizing boys, and they worked hours from 8 am to 2 am. They worked all the time. And with them it was possible not only to have fun, but also to talk on various topics. As for talking - those who do not know Spanish or English have nothing to do there, the staff is not Russian-speaking, but I did not experience any difficulties with my average English, and I avoided Russian tourists, communicated with foreigners. Foreign tourists and absolutely all the staff are friendly smiling people. It's nice. With Travel-service I was on three excursions "O. Saona", "Deep" and "Santo Domingo", I was satisfied with the guides, to be honest, these are the best guides in my life. Traveling girls who want to try closer communication with the local male population, I will answer separately in private. In general, I was satisfied with the rest. If it wasn't so expensive for my wallet, I would say that I will never return to Turkey and Egypt again. I fell in love with the Dominican Republic with all my heart!

Went here with a friend for 12 days in early June. Aeroflot really liked the service on board, the brand new planes, the opportunity to watch movies and at least somehow brighten up a long flight. It was more relevant on the way back, we flew there at night and we slept, or rather tried to do it. We flew to Punta Cana, 12 hours in the air, thanks for the fact that there were no delays both there and back.

Went here with a friend for 12 days in early June. Aeroflot really liked the service on board, the brand new planes, the opportunity to watch movies and at least somehow brighten up a long flight. It was more relevant on the way back, we flew there at night and we slept, or rather tried to do it. We flew to Punta Cana, 12 hours in the air, thanks for the fact that there were no delays both there and back. The Dominican airport is very funny - you don’t get off the sleeve or on the bus, but you walk, the airport building, which, by the way, is international - several houses with roofs made of palm leaves. ))) The hotel at first made an unpleasant impression. A small hall, like a courtyard, someone comes, someone leaves. And it has always been like this - all the time we lived. Anthill. I liked the territory, large spacious, green, there is a pond with small turtles. But it seemed that everything was a little neglected here - the lawn is well-groomed, but the palm trees are all with withered yellow leaves. Yes, and the hotel itself is very old in places and in some places insistently requires restoration. . The tiles are cracked and chipped, the paint lies sloppy and falls off, the wood is scratched, the railings are almost falling apart in places, which is no wonder - in such humidity it is becoming unusable faster and faster. Funny houses-buildings, reminiscent of a pioneer camp, such three-story long blocks, painted in bright colors - red, green, blue. I liked the room - we had to wait a couple of hours, because we arrived early, and here we have to wait until 3 (we settled in a little earlier anyway), but it was worth it. The room is fresh, after renovation, it is felt. In turquoise. Dark furniture with wicker inserts. The tables are decorated with cactus. There were robes. Iron, ironing board - everything is there, in vain they only dragged their own iron. Mini bar, but without beer and alcohol. There is a coffee machine, but we didn’t try to make coffee ourselves, why, if they always pour it in the bar. The safe was taken immediately, it costs $ 20. This is for a week. It may not be cheap, but we didn’t regret it and we don’t advise anyone to skimp on it - having met another pair of Russians, we learned from them a story about their friends who left a week earlier, how they lost money right on the very first day. Simply put, they were stolen. But everyone understands that it is difficult to prove it, they went around swearing and complaining, they only spent time and nerves. Everyone shrugged - the administration is not responsible for things left unattended and not in the safe. So immediately advice - take the safe, you will sleep peacefully. Do not skimp on this!! ! There is no Internet in the room, there is in the lobby, but we did not take a laptop, sometimes we went to a sports bar - there you could sit at a computer for $ 4 for half an hour. There are no problems with food - if you want, there are 2 restaurants with a buffet, if you want - order a restaurant from the menu in advance for dinner, to choose from, we went a couple of times and realized that we like the buffet better, the kitchen is stronger. The bar pours whatever you want and without restrictions. I really liked the cappuccino, but the cocktails seem to be tasty, but too sweet and they put too much ice in them. Moreover, if you ask for a pina colada, the bartender will not be wiser over the glass for a long time, topping up one ingredient or another - he has a blank in a special bottle, he just mixes it with ice and crushes it all in a blender))) The beach is a dream from the picture !!! ! Light sand, blue-blue sea, especially in sunny weather. And palm trees, like grass growing from the sand. The whole party happens at the beach during the day - who rested on the beach, who was in the pool, who was in the bar, everything is nearby. We are addicted to playing volleyball - a good shake-up for the calories stuck at lunch and dinner. Towels are issued by card. Sunbeds are free. Yes, everything is practically free here, All inclusive system. In general, after three trips to Turkey, I can say that here is a very worthy alternative. I liked the rest. And if there is an opportunity to buy a hotel more expensive and more luxurious - in general, it will turn out to be a paradise. The downside is that it takes a long time to fly. Tours are not cheap. We only got out for Caribbean adventures, it costs $195, it's a boat trip - fun, carefree and you can get burned badly. In vain we took it at the very beginning, when we wanted some impressions and something to see, it is better to go after a little rest, when at least a little tan has already stuck to the skin. Because no matter how much you put on cream, even with a protection factor of 45, you still suffer after 3 days. The money was not even exchanged for local money. They paid in dollars - they are accepted everywhere without problems, and often just the price tag is already in dollars. Moreover, the dollar here is stronger than the euro, so if you pay in euros, you will lose, the exchange rate with the dollar is almost identical. What costs 22 in dollars, was counted as 20 in euros. Souvenirs of the sea - like all sorts of traditional crafts that are in every country, all these cups, plates, piles, etc. , also dolls, wooden figurines, interior stuff , well, and products - coffee, cocoa, vanilla, rum and herbal liquor "Mama Juana". It’s expensive to buy in hotels, but since they don’t walk outside hotels, it’s better to go to a shopping center if necessary, we went to one huge one, where you can buy everything you need - clothes, shoes, by the way, very cool, and souvenirs , and products. The taxi driver must be told - San Juan shopping center. Well, that's all. Finally - keep in mind that there are now strict rules on Aeroflot flights - a suitcase is not heavier than 23 kg, even if 24 kg - that's all, they take a surcharge. Moreover, the excess is not paid per kg, but simply paid and not weakly so - $ 170 for the excess!! ! So weigh your suitcases before check-in, throw out unnecessary things or put them in your hand luggage. Good luck to all! )))

very average 4-ka) the main advantage is Bavaro beach, which is not divided between hotels and along which you can walk with pleasure in both directions. this hotel - it's like two hotels together - one closer to the beach, the second a little further. the area is quite large, so the tram there is very handy. we were there during the New Year period, the waves were big and restless, we didn’t buy much, but it didn’t annoy, the excursion to Saona was very helpful in this regard. about nutrition - there are comments, but if you don’t find fault with it, then it’s normal. the room was initially settled not very good, but after a visit to the reception and a few dollars, the room was changed to a good one. good spa and massages. but the main advantage is still Bavaro))
