Сказка=) Fairy tale =)

Hello everyone who is interested in my story about a trip to the Dominican Republic. I apologize in advance for mistakes, I learned a newbie in this business thanks to the trip. As they say life forced. Everything was great in Phuket that year, but this year they started to strike and we decided to go to the Dominican Republic. We ourselves had a rest from St. Petersburg from December 7-21. We flew through Paris, because from St. Petersburg only 11-12 days and we wanted 15. But in the end, 15 days through Paris is cheaper than a direct charter Transairo 11-12 days. So I sat at night reading reviews forums scooped up any information that would come in handy later. We stayed at the Mtlia Caribe Tropical Hotel. The tour operator advised me to take a room at Roial Servis, which is of course more expensive, but in the end we didn’t want to. All this cost 197 thousand. R. But after all, there is no need to think about nutrition, and that suited us. And if Happy New Year, it would already cost 250t.
So the long-awaited day has come Hooray! Departure from St. Petersburg at 9.30 Air Bas company Russia is not big but quite comfortable fed decently.
We handed over our luggage in St. Petersburg and we will receive it only in the Dominican Republic. Frankly, I was worried because the reviews were different. Somebody got lost. Well, what to do we will see Charles Degol Airport is very large 5 terminals but I studied the plan in advance. After 3 hours, we landed successfully at terminal 2s as it should be. We flew from this 2s. Transit time was 1-50. We figured it out quickly went up to the 2nd floor, walked around Duti Free, bought cognac and looked at what you can buy on the way back. If you have something left from St. Petersburg, then you will not be allowed to take it on the plane. And another important point is that you can’t smoke anywhere at the airport. Be prepared for this. The airport itself was not impressed by the dirty, shabby one. Nothing sabotaged the shop windows in the cafe either. Well, okay, but they saw Paris from the window. Ahead of us is the country of the Bounty. The Air-France plane is large 2-story. Seats on the plane to Punta Cana have already been booked with us in a tour company. Landing was delayed by 40 minutes. but it's a huge 500 seats.

A little cramped, they give out a blanket, earplugs, glasses. Fed tasty on a small bottle of wine for lunch. To be honest, we have a flight of 9-50 hours. It was easy And at 17-20 (local) sat in Punta Cana! HURRAH! It blew warm, moist air. The airport surprises pleasantly such probably one in the world is not a high reed roof. We walk along the runway, meet the girls in the nat. Suits. many took pictures with them (on the way back you can take $10) Take the forms to fill out everything is simple there, and no one reads them, in the passport for $10, that's all the nuances. Now the luggage, I confess, there was excitement because I read everything on the internet - ours arrived safe and sound. Before going outside, each representative of the host side has a counter. We approach our own - TEZ-TOUR with us a couple more to our hotel. On our stand, two Dominicans are holding signs with f. and. it turns out they are just drivers (in Russian no gu-gu). We eat 20m dark, we didn’t see anything.
Roiai Servis has its own reception, again accepting no one. Good only with RS. Russian girl (then you can solve any issues with her) My husband goes to see No. I have already been given a delicious cocktail. The husband comes quickly, he likes everything and we and the suitcase eat on a typewriter min 2e our VILLA-49 Number 64m. Jacuzzi, two TVs (but there is no Russian channel) a large bed in the bedroom and a window into the bath. , or rather open shutters, in another room there is a sofa, a sink table. , a coffee maker. , D D center, a balcony with furniture. The furniture is certainly not from the latest catalogs, but quite decent (the hotel is not new). Directly opposite the restaurant and the pool, all in flames - a blunder! Yes, there is a ceiling fan in the room. The restaurant is very cozy, the assortment is pleasing to the eye, you can order from the menu (and also whatever you like) desserts are super! In the morning, for some reason, we woke up early at the restaurant c7 and looked at the plan of the hotel.
, had breakfast, there are no freshly squeezed juices, only fresh juices, but the juices in containers are very tasty. A large selection of cheese, just fruits (be sure to try passion fruit) in general for every taste. As the smart ones went to the ocean, you can call the car, but we decided on foot for the first time. Walk 7m to the ocean. the territory is all licked. , we have never seen such beauty at R/S/ own beach. We were the very first to arrive at 8 o'clock. white sand beach. palm trees are tall, the ocean is beautiful but the waves are big and the wind, the coast is being cleaned but the ocean is still silt. The water temperature is 22, so we were completely unprepared for this. Here, RS has its own bar, cocktails, canapes, premium drinks. Near the common pool there is not so windy but there are a lot of people, there are almost no free sunbeds, in general we lay down near the ocean until lunch. We went by car for lunch. In the room we found a letter with the schedule of excursions and at 17h our TEZ will be waiting at the reception.
We went for lunch near our pool grace, quiet music and sunbeds, if you want to sleep, small bungalows with pillows. Here we realized that few people go to the ocean by the pool more comfortably, and close to food. For lunch, the choice is also excellent, and you can order whatever you like to your room. Newly arrived foreigners. , acquaint with the territory, show everything, tell, not that we were not even met. Although I may be wrong, they say we did not order a guide. But I think that at least the host country is obliged to meet. But these are all trifles, the sun is nature and a good mood! If you want to order a restaurant, then you need to call in the morning you will be switched to a Russian speaker, specify the time. I advise you not to order late, if you don’t like it or don’t eat enough, you will have time to add it to the main ones.

We liked the French, fish Capri, which everyone praised on the internet, not very cozy, although the dishes are chic (you can’t smoke in these restaurants) We ate more either at home or in the central one with international cuisine, there are freshly squeezed juices for breakfast. , pancakes. , sushi for dinner Whole baked piglets, in general, the diet is resting! During the day they sipped champagne or beer and in the evening HENNESSY, REMY. It rained mostly at night and rarely during the day, and if it was 5m and then the sun was hot! The room was cleaned twice a day towels changed every day. At night, two chocolates with the sign RS lay on the bed. Our pool was also cleaned every morning, in general, everything is fine. Well, now about excursions. We chose the island of Saonu in the Caribbean Sea 85$ per person Excursion to the island of Saomu 185$ per person but there you have to fly on a local plane and walk a lot - this is not for us. And we liked Saona. The bus picked up at 6:30.
were in the city of artists for that they sailed on the river in boats. , dived in the Caribbean Sea for starfish, the sea is much warmer than the ocean. and even saw dolphins as a family, they swam close to our boats. They say this happens very rarely, but we were lucky! We sailed back on a big catamaran with rum and dancing. The rum did its job and, as always, our Russian people do not know how to calculate their strength; some went overboard in general for the state, it was a shame! But in general we liked it and came back at 20h. On the way, you will stop by a store where you can buy gifts and souvenirs, rum coffee, cocoa, everything is much cheaper there compared to the hotel. And those who traveled to Santo Domingo were satisfied, but very dreary 3 hours there and 3 hours back, narrow traffic jams. In general, decide for yourself but remember that they do not have traffic rules and there is no ban on alcohol while driving. And so I draw conclusions (MY) pluses in any case much more especially in RS.
And if we didn’t particularly manage to swim in the ocean, it was probably just cyclones, but in September they said the ocean was calm and warm. But the beaches are great! Meals hotel area When you pack ALL DRINKS - only in a suitcase, otherwise everything will be taken away in Paris. In the hotel shop, if you buy souvenirs, it turns out, of course, more expensive, but they wrap it very well with tape. Of course, the service may not be top notch. But we are not spoiled people. We liked everything on the little things, if you pay attention, then it’s not worth going anywhere. You will always have time to visit Egypt in Turkey. Take a good mood with you and go ahead. Good luck to everyone have a good rest It's been two months and the village to write flooded with pleasant memories. I wanted to share with you because before the trip I was also nervous and scooped up any information.
If you choose the Dominican Republic, then I advise Melia Caribe Tropical and Roil Servis / Although of course there is a crisis in the country and it is difficult to plan anything, but do not lose faith Good luck to everyone.
