We chose the hotel almost by accident and did not regret it, I liked the hotel, I can’t write that it’s better and I won’t imagine it, of course the climate makes its own adjustments - there were damp corners and other nuances. We were in the rainy season - for almost 3 weeks - 3 times at night it rained - that's all. That things do not dry is a lie. In restaurants, the dress code is for dinner only. Housekeeping is 5-, but the service is otherwise 5+. food for 5+, the atmosphere in the hotel is also for 5. no one bothers anyone to relax, when the hotel was fully loaded, there were always enough sun loungers and lobsters in restaurants and places in the open-air jacuzzi with a glass of exotic cocktail, etc. Lobby- The Hermitage with paintings and sculptures, only a cup of aromatic coffee with rum fully contributes to peace and relaxation. You feel at home. The infrastructure of the hotel itself allows you to relax with all the amenities, but you can really use all the benefits of another 5 riu hotels, you yourself went to barcelo a couple of times - 5min and $ 5 by taxi, it is a little more expensive, a little newer, but is a smaller copy of the palace, but that's all new is not all the best, the smell of dampness and paint is still felt, which brings a little discomfort. Of course, the ocean (Atlantic, Caribbean Sea - south) is super simple, the beach is clean, the sand is really warm, it doesn’t burn your feet. No special shoes are needed. Waves often endure small crabs, pelicans now and then flying over the coastline are pleasing to the eye. Coconut palms not only fit into the "BOUNTY" picture, but also give a pleasant shade. We were also on the island of Saona (the reserve where the "Blue Lagoon" and the Bounty advertisement were really filmed) - this is in the Caribbean Sea, it is even warmer, even more blue and. . . -beauty - there really are no words. True, excursions are not cheap at all. everything is in the region of $ 600 for two, though their organization wants to leave the best, if not more, they can just spoil the whole impression of the rest, well, what can I say, ours will organize and that says it all, they learned to take money, but to work, let the blacks work . NO WORDS. here they work. Once again, the Dominican service is 5+, this is not Turkey or Egypt. is no comparison. Even a difficult flight will not force you to give up your next vacation in the Dominican Republic again.
