Hello everyone, my husband and I went to the Dominican Republic for the first time, in general we were going to GOA, but we were dissuaded and advised to go here. Before that, we were in Turkey and Egypt. I really liked everything in the hotel - it’s very green, there is where to take a walk, a lot of children come, but they don’t interfere at all, because the hotel is huge, there is a children’s pool, although there are no slides in it, there is a kids club, I even saw how they “handed over” a child who didn’t even walk yet, but they were definitely not ours : -), we also have a daughter - 8 years old (we didn’t take her with us), but from the point of view of parents, I appreciated everything - there is something to feed them: cereals, soups, meat, sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ fruits, fresh juices in the morning, the animation certainly suffers, not like in Turkey.
In the main restaurant, everything is very tasty, everything is in sufficient quantity at any time. We also went to different restaurants: the French one is the best, in the American one there are very large pieces of meat : -), in Thai everything is very spicy, but everything in the Mediterranean is very tasty.
There are some shows in the evening, but we didn’t go to them, because we went to bed early, apparently due to the big time difference. Bright trains drive around the hotel - children really like them. There are golf courses. Two pools and two restaurants on the beach where you can eat fully. We are not fans of pools, so almost all the time we were on the beach, and there is such beauty........ If you stand facing the ocean, then five minutes to the right there is a market where you can buy souvenirs, cigars and rum, everything the same thing is sold on excursions, only more expensive, the main thing is to bargain!!

Regarding excursions - we went to the islands, or rather flew by plane for 25 minutes, and then by boat, and also on horseback, in general, a rich excursion, a lot of impressions, but with a child I would not go there, by the way this is the most expensive excursion 270 dollars. people but we don't regret giving it away.
Additional information for girls: there is an iron and ironing board in the room, a hair dryer, in principle, is normal, you can not take your own.
Most of all I didn’t like the room, but we only slept in it, so we didn’t get very upset because of it. I don’t remember exactly the safe in the room, or two or two from the floor. dollars per day. The furniture is OLD : -((, the mini bar was replenished daily (free of charge), there is a tea set.
On the territory of the hotel there is a SPA center, a sauna, two receptions, gorgeous peacocks walk around the territory, unusual flamingos in the lake, turtles - the children really like it all!!
For me it was a SUPER REST, and the hotel is SUPER, and most importantly, it is the extraordinary nature of the DOMINICAN, white as flour sand and palm trees - I recommend everyone to go, you will not regret it.
P. S. we walked along the coastlines and really liked the hotel, I think it was called Barcelo Bavaro Palace de Lux, there is a super children's water park and the hotel itself is in high-tech style, and ours is in the classics, but very green, so choose according to your taste, have a pleasant stay .
