Everything was fine, I chose what was for the coming dates, I just needed to fly urgently and I chose the hotel very well. Pros around - a great view from the balcony, around, I did not find cons.

A great stay at a great price! We arrived early in the morning, and the weather met us with rain, but then all the days it was just great. The food was very good, even the most picky will find something to their liking. Every evening there were themed dinners with live music. A lot of delicious pastries, cakes, fruits, ice cream.

The room was cleaned every day, towels were also changed. The staff are all friendly. All things lay in a conspicuous place, nothing was missing.
In general, they did not regret that they purchased excursions from a third-party organization, and not from a tour operator. The choice is simply huge, everything is organized harmoniously. And the guys working everywhere are cheerful and friendly))

We learned about it from the YouTube channel of this very Ilya) This store is located a 15-minute walk from the barrier, although you can order a free transfer. It is convenient that they accept cards, dollars, pesos and euros for payment. Russian guys work there, cheerful and friendly. You can buy all sorts of interesting little things, plus alcohol and cigars. By the way, we were given cocoa butter as a gift) If you leave the store and go a little to the left, there will be an office where we bought excursions. The seller’s name is Konstantin, he told us right from the door: “You definitely need to ride in jeeps”. Actually, we bought this excursion, and also swam with dolphins. In general, they did not regret that they purchased excursions from a third-party organization, and not from a tour operator. The choice is simply huge, everything is organized harmoniously. And the guys working everywhere are cheerful and friendly))

If you have never been to the Dominican Republic before and want to see the unique nature of this beautiful island, then you should definitely visit this hotel. This is certainly not a VIP five, and is already a little outdated, but basically it is a wonderful, beautiful resort, and the price is small. On the territory of the hotel there are a lot of different birds and animals: pelicans, turtles, peacocks, flamingos.

If you have never been to the Dominican Republic before and want to see the unique nature of this beautiful island, then you should definitely visit this hotel. This is certainly not a VIP five, and is already a little outdated, but basically it is a wonderful, beautiful resort, and the price is small. On the territory of the hotel there are a lot of different birds and animals: pelicans, turtles, peacocks, flamingos. All living creatures are almost not at all afraid of the human presence, and many eat directly from their hands with great pleasure. The hotel has the friendliest staff we have ever met. All the guys are very smiling, they always helped, to the best of their ability, and the animators were beyond praise, the child was simply delighted. A couple of times the hotel held a foam party in the pool, fun children's animation during the day, and mini-disco in the evenings. there is a kids club and a playground, but this is not the most important thing. Our 6-year-old daughter could not stop admiring the abundance of birds, you live like in an ornithariat. The food is very good. there was enough in the main restaurant, it was not difficult to feed a child. Every day we tried to diversify the menu. Lots of meat dishes, fruits are always ripe and fresh. There were seafood and fish, but not enough. But you can diversify a la carte. We went to the La Perla fish restaurant several times, if you really wanted to eat fish and seafood, they cooked very tasty, a very good Italian restaurant, I highly advise you to go to a meat restaurant, they cook great steaks. There are also about 5-6 bars scattered around the hotel, I don’t remember exactly. On the beach you can have a hot dog, a hamburger or a delicious burrito. And what delicious cocktails they prepared, you just lick your fingers, all the alcohol is of high quality, rum was poured into cocktails "Barcelo", they did not save. Children can eat delicious ice cream. We were looking for a hotel not very expensive, but with very beautiful nature. They resorted to the help of a travel agent, as they themselves could not make a choice for a long time. The hotel is located in a protected area, and there is a completely untouched nature. There were algae on the beach, but the staff actively fought with them, there were days when there were a lot of them, but in general they swam normally. We went a little to the side, there were much fewer of them and it was more comfortable to swim. The hotel's room fund is already a bit old, and repairs would not hurt, but we were almost never in the room, with such and such nature. At the same time, everything worked fine, the air conditioner made a little noise, the rest did not bother. Cleaning is good and on time, the mini bar is regularly replenished with water and drinks and beer, there is a coffee maker, clean bedding and towels. The hotel has several swimming pools, the most convenient near the beach, there is also a children's area. Loungers were also enough, towels were changed near the beach. The Internet is only 15 minutes a day in the lobby, it was enough for a call, if more, then you already have to pay extra, we did not use it. It was also possible to pay extra for a renovated room closer to the beach, but we refused, our room, although old, suited us. Building 13, close to the lobby, and walking to the beach every day with a child was interesting, through the entire hotel. The hotel is good, quiet and without noisy youth, family run. If you don't pick too much on the rooms, then everything else is fine.

If you want to feel like a smeared piece of shit, separated from the world, this hotel is for you! 1. Let's start from the territory - literally from the doorstep the hotel will meet you with the smell of a swamp and rotten meat with a caustic persistent plume, not a single perfume will save the situation.

If you want to feel like a smeared piece of shit, separated from the world, this hotel is for you!
1. Let's start from the territory - literally from the doorstep the hotel will meet you with the smell of a swamp and rotten meat with a caustic persistent plume, not a single perfume will save the situation.
2. Tired rooms with faulty air conditioners, broken tiles and rust, cockroaches and other surprises will give a special piquancy in the next few days for your money.
3. And the singing of birds will be replaced by local construction, the noise of a drill and sawing of bamboo, so get ready.
4. The beach will be decorated with glass, mud, and a huge dump of algae, well, it’s also like nothing when neighboring beaches are cleaned to a shine.
6. Wi-Fi is a rare luxury - free access is provided to you as much as 15 minutes a day, as an option, you can choose a paid version for $ 7 per hour.
7. And yes, these are not all the gifts, if you order an excursion from the Hotel right now, you will overpay 100 or even more dollars. They didn't get drunk, you say?
8. By the way, the buffet is so varied that choosing an omelette or scrambled eggs for breakfast will turn out to be a whole quest, well, or a task for What Where When, so Alexander Friends will help you. And during the commercial break you will be offered pineapple, mango as a bonus, and that's it. So hang in there!

I read the reviews and wonder - why so much enthusiasm? From my sad experience I will tell you the following: I have been vacationing in the Dominican Republic every year for 9-10 years, since it takes only about 4 hours to fly from the east coast of the USA. I rested in different hotels, I got to this hotel because I booked it hastily without reading the reviews.

I read the reviews and wonder - why so much enthusiasm?
From my sad experience I will tell you the following:
I have been vacationing in the Dominican Republic every year for 9-10 years, since it takes only about 4 hours to fly from the east coast of the USA. I rested in different hotels, I got to this hotel because I booked it hastily without reading the reviews. Such a "service" as in this hotel, did not have anywhere else.
Even though according to the hotel policy the rooms for check-in must be ready by 3 o'clock, I got the room at 4:15.
Room 1253 in Patio 4 on the 2nd floor:
The air conditioner does not work, it blows warm air
Early 90s TV with a blurry hazy picture
One working, but very loose outlet for charging the phone
I called Guest Service. Supervisor Marino promised to send a technician to fix the air conditioner.
The master came, twirled, left. Said something needed to be replaced. The night passed in a breeze. The ceiling fan doesn't help.
The next day he called again. They promised to do it. Returned to room before dinner. The room is hot. Called again. The master has arrived. Speaks only Spanish. Didn't do anything. The second night went no better than the first.
On the third day after lunch, they finally transferred to room 2201 Patio 5.
Upon entering, I immediately felt that the room was hot. They explained that the air conditioner (AC) was turned off and it was just turned on. It takes an hour and a half or two to cool the room. I returned to my room after dinner and the show. AC is noisy, stuffy in the room. Called. They said that the master had already finished the work for today. The next day, after dinner, the master came and said that they could not do anything yet.
The next day, they transferred to room 4214 Patio 10, which, among other shortcomings - there was no shampoo, the TV showed everything in pink, there was no towel for the legs, one of the two sconces worked, but for some reason it illuminated the wall and it was impossible to read, the balcony door with the mesh broken and didn't close, giving access to mosquitoes, also the air conditioning didn't work.
After useless conversations with managers Louis and Mekler, I wrote to the agency. Only at the end of the 6th day, after repeated correspondence and calls to the hotel from the agency, I was finally given room 4205 with a working air conditioner and a normal smart TV, where I stayed for the remaining 4 days.
On my request for compensation for the inconvenience caused and ruined vacation, the hotel manager Rafael Beras offered me a free dinner and a bottle of wine (this is in a hotel where EVERYTHING is already included). I can't call it anything other than a mockery.
The furniture in the rooms is old, worn out, the mattresses are hard, the pillows are "thin". The rooms are cleaned irregularly. Free internet is of very dubious quality, only 15 minutes a day. Safe in the room - $4 per day, although there is no mention of paying for a safe anywhere in the advertisement.
During the day, you are constantly bothered by offers to buy excursions, cigars, coconut and all sorts of rubbish. There is loud music on the beach during the day, which makes it impossible to just relax in silence and enjoy the sound of the ocean. This is especially inconvenient for those who come with small children. The pool is clean enough but open from 8am to 6pm.
The food in the buffet restaurant is quite monotonous. No seafood options. In the existing 3 restaurants, you need to sign up a few days in advance from 9 am to noon. Service in restaurants is very long (after an hour and a half of dinner, I left without waiting for dessert)
Alcohol is cheap, cocktails are all too sweet.
There are plenty of sunbeds and shade on the beach. There are a lot of algae on the shore and in the water, which is why the water is cloudy (sorry I can’t attach a photo). If you walk along the shore for 250 meters to the beach of another hotel, you can enjoy the clear water and the absence of algae in the water and on the shore. The administration of this hotel did not stint on a special mesh that does not let algae through.
It should be noted that the territory of the hotel is very well-groomed, there is a lot of greenery, flamingos and peacocks are walking around. Exotic. But to rest you still need to return to your room. And here unpleasant surprises await, with which the hotel management clearly does not want to fight.
I have seen several couples (from Russia) who have also complained about their numbers, but I think they have also been given sworn promises that have never been kept.
Nothing exotic, flamingos and peacocks can balance the lack of hot water or cool air in the room you sleep in, where the temperature is almost the same, and sometimes even higher than outside, with high humidity.
This hotel is in serious need of refurbishment and renovation. I would not give this hotel more than 2 stars.
(I'm surprised that on this site this hotel is assigned 5 stars)
Of course, I myself will not return to this hotel and strongly DO NOT RECOMMEND it to anyone, especially to you Russians who make such a long and tiring flight to Punta Cana. There are many other hotels (albeit a little more expensive), but it will not be wasted money.
Trust my experience.

This resort is ideal for those who like to relax in the bosom of nature, as close as possible. The greenery around is just jungle, birds, turtles, pelicans, flamingos, peacocks, herons, which walk completely freely throughout the territory, absolutely not reacting to human presence, it's cool. Especially stunning stretch of the beach area, which is reserved.

This resort is ideal for those who like to relax in the bosom of nature, as close as possible. The greenery around is just jungle, birds, turtles, pelicans, flamingos, peacocks, herons, which walk completely freely throughout the territory, absolutely not reacting to human presence, it's cool. Especially stunning stretch of the beach area, which is reserved. A piece from 2 km, on the left side, with untouched sand, clear water. We most often walked and swam there, in awe of this place. On the right side of the beach with sunbeds and umbrellas, of which there are a huge number. Sunbeds are right under the palm trees, but covered with straw umbrellas. And on the beach you can eat delicious ice cream. The sand is clean, constantly cleaned, but we still liked the wild beach more, and there were almost no people there))). The hotel itself consists of two or three storey buildings, which do not spoil the surrounding beauty with their appearance. Scattered over a vast territory, in the most beautiful conditions, and any view from the window and balcony will be on lush greenery. Our room was in building 10 between the beach and the reception. It took about 5 minutes to walk in any direction. The decoration with elements of natural wood is very natural, but at the same time cozy. In the morning you can hear the singing and chirping of birds on the balcony, you feel completely relaxed. Cleanliness is good, all the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The service is a little slow, but in such a relaxed place, this is not surprising, we were not offended. The main thing is that they tried to do everything for us to make us feel very comfortable. A huge plus is that it doesn’t take long to get from the airport, you want to get to the hotel faster after a long flight. We also liked the food. In addition to the main restaurant, there are many à la carte restaurants that offer not only good food, but also good fast service. We really liked the fish restaurant La Perla, we went to it more than once for the rest. Opposite our building is the Media Luna meat restaurant, which was also our favorite. And in the restaurant you can order lobsters, they are cooked deliciously, we really liked it. Entertainment every day on the beach and around the pool, by the way, the pool has a jacuzzi area, a good free massage. We went to the SPA, you can visit once, for the sake of variety, but it's not worth the money. The only big drawback of the hotel is that we were not there for long, next time we will fly for at least two weeks!

We postponed our first visit to the Dominican Republic more than once, then it didn’t grow together with the vacation, then we got into the peak of the crisis, then the family had a replenishment, and only at the end of 2017, from the gray Russian winter, we went to the sunny, picturesque Dominican Republic. The flight, of course, is the most tiring and it is important to prepare for it. I already had the experience of long flights, for example, they flew to Thailand and it seemed that where 9 hours, 12 would pass there, but no. Still, saving on air travel with such a flight range is not worth it. Or fly with transfers so that you do not have to sit permanently. Well, let's just say experience. We flew to Punta Cana airport in the afternoon, and literally already at the exit of the plane we felt the scorching sun and hot, humid air, so I advise you to change into light, light and preferably non-tight clothing on the plane. Upon arrival, the driver was already waiting for us, because.
we decided the question "how to get from the airport to the hotel" in advance, when we booked excursions and found out about the rental of transport, and from all the offers we chose 2 Bananas, they inspired the most confidence and we were not mistaken). In addition, it is much more convenient, upon arrival you want to get to the end point as soon as possible and you do not need to waste time on arrivals at other hotels. Literally twenty minutes later we were already at the Natura Park Beach - EcoResort & Spa. According to the general rules, check-in at the hotel starts at 15:00, we had about forty minutes left, we left our things at the reception and went to have lunch at a local buffet, so the time flew by very quickly. The room that we were given was very nice and comfortable: The furniture there, of course, is no longer brand new, but there are plenty of towels, water, and hygiene items, everything.
During the entire stay, there was not a single complaint about the cleaning work, because the cleaning was carried out efficiently, on time and regularly: towels were changed every day, the contents of the mini-bar were also replenished daily. Of course, when you are on vacation in the Caribbean, you essentially use the room only as an overnight stay, so I am sincerely surprised by the reviews nitpicking about some little things in the room. The most interesting and most important thing in this ECO-hotel is its territory, which is a luxurious garden with rich flora and fauna, where you can easily see how black ducks or flamingos walk in the shade of palm trees, and they are very well-groomed and satisfied with life, they are not at all alike on those poor fellows that we saw in the Moscow zoo. in addition to them, there are geese, and turtles that rest in man-made reservoirs-lakes. You can also feed the fish there if you wish.
I strongly advise you to come judging by the children and acquaint them with this amazing fauna, better than any petting zoo. But, of course, you can not abuse the trust of animals, the Dominicans are very careful about this. And they do it right. There was enough space for relaxing on the wide beach, but beach towels run out pretty quickly, so it's better to take them right in the morning. Algae in the sea, if encountered, were promptly removed. If we talk about food, it seemed to me that it is more focused on Europeans and did not indulge too much with dishes of national cuisine, although if we take the work of the restaurant as a whole, then everything is quite tasty and varied, but in a certain style. Unfortunately, I have never met seafood, I would advise them to be included in the menu. Well, at least some.
You can’t just get into restaurants by appointment, as a rule, you need to sign up in advance and for some reason we completely forgot about them, we remembered only by the end of the vacation. And so there are several good bars that offer rum-based cocktails and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Regarding the Internet, be sure to take it into service so as not to become a victim of lies and provocations. Free wi-fi in the hotel was 15 minutes a day (and the speed is low), and then you need to buy a card: 1 day - $ 10 per device, while if you buy a Claro SIM card with an unlimited Internet package for 5 days, then get it for $10. The benefit is obvious. Well, as for the animation, it is present here, but the bias towards a more relaxing holiday, and, accordingly, is extremely unobtrusive.
If you want, take part in the dances, or not, no one will pull by the arms and legs.
In the evenings it can be boring, if you want to have fun, you can go to a disco or a casino in neighboring hotels. Or take a taxi to the city, feel the local flavor.

The hotel is not perfect but the cost is not expensive at all. And the verdant territory has strongly seduced us. In general, we were persuaded to take another hotel, but we really wanted to have a lot of greenery and living creatures. The area is very green. Bridges, walkways. Black ducks, geese, peacocks and the pearl of the flamingo hotel roam freely on the territory! The reservoirs are full of fish, turtles swim.

The hotel is not perfect but the cost is not expensive at all. And the verdant territory has strongly seduced us. In general, we were persuaded to take another hotel, but we really wanted to have a lot of greenery and living creatures. The area is very green. Bridges, walkways. Black ducks, geese, peacocks and the pearl of the flamingo hotel roam freely on the territory! The reservoirs are full of fish, turtles swim. All animals can be hand fed. The animation at the hotel is very calm, so the hotel is clearly not a youth one. We are not lovers of hustle and bustle and just wanted a relaxing holiday, so it would not be fair to say that the animation was weak, but the hotel is really more suitable for a relaxing holiday for adult couples. Or families with children planning a quiet relaxing beach holiday. The beach is nice and cleaned regularly. There are sailing catamarans, paired kayaks for an hour a day for free. The hotel also has tennis courts, a gym, and if in the evening it’s completely boring, they bring a club and a casino to a nearby hotel, but we never went. With the Internet, it’s difficult here for only fifteen minutes to get in the lobby for free and it works terribly. Although we had enough for viber. And so for a surcharge or take a local SIM card so more profitable. The food is very good, of course, the variety is not much big, but the dishes change; seafood in the presence of meat is cooked a lot in different ways. Three more a la carte restaurants complete the menu. The room is normal nothing bad not great. You can live furniture normal cleaning too. The staff is cheerful friendly the only thing in the room is a paid safe. Well, this is already a trifle.

Great hotel for a relaxing family holiday! Young people should not go here during the day, in principle, it’s normal, but in the evenings it’s already boring to do nothing, we don’t like noisy parties at all, which is why we wanted just such a hotel. Rest families with children and adult couples. But you can walk for ten minutes or a taxi and there is a free transfer to the casino.

Rest families with children and adult couples. But you can walk for ten minutes or a taxi and there is a free transfer to the casino. It's in a nearby hotel. Big beautiful area. Green Garden of Eden with birds and a variety of living creatures. A small pool, albeit shallow, but with a bar in the water. Yes, and why a pool when there is a gorgeous beach) The beach is cleaned daily, they are cleaned of algae a little and they do not interfere with swimming. If you go to the left of the hotel there is a wild beach there are no people there but of course there are no sunbeds. There are more than enough sun loungers on the beach at the hotel. The staff is cheerful and friendly, and if you learn a couple of Spanish words, then you will generally be a favorite guest) They don’t have very good English, but it’s not a problem to explain. And of course, they love tips very much, but not to the point of fanaticism) Many thanks to the staff for their concern! The food in the hotel is very good, the main restaurant provides good variety and there are also three a la carte restaurants. The bars have a good selection of alcohol and cocktails. Cocktails are made right. They do not spare alcohol in the hotel) We took the most ordinary room. There are no problems with the number, except for a paid stupid safe, but we did not use it, but simply kept the valuables in a suitcase. Room cleaning is good, even the beauty was twisted from towels. Internet is a problem free of charge can be obtained for 15 minutes a day and only in the lobby. Or for a surcharge but it was expensive. Well, 15 minutes was enough for us to write to our relatives) Personally, we really liked the hotel!
