We flew from Kyiv for 12.5 hours with the AZUR airline without a transfer. Then transfer to the hotel for about one hour. - Large, green territory of the hotel. The hotel is fairly new and modern. Excellent enough varied food - meat, seafood, vegetables, fruits - especially sweet pineapples! and mangoes, pastries, alcoholic cocktails/rum.

We flew from Kyiv for 12.5 hours with the AZUR airline without a transfer. Then transfer to the hotel for about one hour.
- Large, green territory of the hotel. The hotel is fairly new and modern. Excellent enough varied food - meat, seafood, vegetables, fruits - especially sweet pineapples! and mangoes, pastries, alcoholic cocktails/rum. . . The locals are very fond of rice/chicken/beans, so these dishes will be in the maximum variety. Everything is fresh and very tasty. There are many a la carte restaurants and only one requires an appointment - a Japanese restaurant.
- Cafe not far from the reception with excellent coffee and pastries for any choice, local coffee is offered for breakfast / lunch / dinner for an amateur. Animators do not let you get bored - darts, yoga, volleyball, basketball, table tennis, golf... and much more.
- A place with an artificial wave, where you can practice standing on the board for money - surfing. Near the river-brook for children, you can ride on inflatable circles and mattresses.
- Gym, casino, shop - if you need anything, from razors to various beach accessories.
- There is a lot of space under umbrellas on the beach. On the weekend - the weekend attracts Americans and neighboring countries.
Very happy with the staff, kind, smiling, cheerful.
If you know Spanish or French, it will be much easier to communicate - the locals have trouble with English.
Excursions for the whole day for $150 per person ANEX tour, expensive, but very good. We took two tours and were very pleased.
Weather. The very end of May. We probably got to the very end of the season, because in the last couple of days it was cloudy and sometimes it rained. This did not upset us, the sun is bright enough and you can easily burn out without a protective cream in 10-15 minutes.
Tips. The country is poor, salaries are low, so your thanks for cleaning the room or preparing a cocktail, morning omelette, etc. will be greatly appreciated. Enough 1-2 dollars.
There is nothing to do outside the hotel and it is unsafe. Upon departure at the airport, I recommend buying a very cheap local Dominican rum.

This hotel does not correspond to the declared categories of the DC concept ViP, which I additionally paid for, 18+ simply does not exist anywhere here, everywhere with small children, they don’t clean the room, they made the bed and everything was as it was, and left, the floor was dirty to ours I'll drop in, and after cleaning the room.

It is impossible to take VIP-class alcohol, only for $ money, in A la carte you only need to reserve according to the usual concept, and at the reception they tell us what time it will be possible to eat, although there are few people, room service and butler does not exist. Bathrobes for children hang in the closet, slippers on the 1st, they have already carried the second pair for 2 days, they come to the room only if they need to change the bed. Guide Marat is generally a shock, he is here only to sell excursions, he knows nothing about the hotel at all, neither about the concept, nor about DC service, he did not answer a single question about the hotel at all, and at the reception they did not give him an answer .

Let's start from the very beginning, we arrived at the hotel with a pre-paid Diamond Club privilege. Unfortunately, no one was waiting for us (((we stood in the check-in queue for about 20 minutes, the boy received our passports and entered our data and was pleasantly surprised that we had that privilege, and now they put us in a car and take us to another reception and start registering I forgot to say - no one in the hotel speaks Russian and this is a big problem.

Here they put bracelets on us and again we are in the car, rushing to the room. We are given a hotel map and the phone number of our concierge Pedro.
It seems like a good start))), but not. Pedro came to us, spoke to his daughter in English, agreed to write to WhatsApp and that's all, guys, rest. Then, every day, the concierge sent us a WhatsApp animation schedule and the name of the restaurant where we should come for dinner. And that's it, that's all concierge services.
In general, the hotel is very pleasant, not very green, but the ocean is wonderful, the food is 5+, the animation is good, but I repeat, not a word in Russian.
I forgot to write about the mini bar, can you imagine, they forgot to replenish it, very strange. Well, the highlight on the cake, at check-out, we are picked up by a bus to the airport at 16:20, but our wonderful concierge picked us up at 13:00, and we told him in advance that we had a late check-out, he answered no, that’s not possible! !! ! Like this! We are now sitting for 3 hours ((((Summing up, the rest was still a success and my advice is not to pay for the services of the Diamond Club - a waste of money, the hotel works great anyway, and if you stick a tip, then you will be the richest white and will be glad to see you and so no privileges.

I quite liked the hotel. The hotel is brand new and the food is delicious. But the rooms smell like flowers. A little refurbishment in the rooms would be nice. Internet in the hotel is quite good.
