Sirenis gone bad
I went with a child of 10 years for 22 days to Sirenis Punta Cana Resort Casino & Aquagames, in the Dominican Republic, the second time, because I liked it the first time. Now things have gotten worse. They last year received a "palm branch" to 17 years, and, apparently, relaxed, they do not care about the guests. I will not write about the good, because the good is not dangerous. Perhaps everything that can be imagined has happened to us. Coral asked for u$d 300 for the transfer, so we went ourselves from the port to the hotel by taxi for 65 round trip. They flew through Zurich Swissair, as the Aeroflot requested a cosmic amount, and the Turko-Caucasian Azur put a few extra rows on the plane, even removing the business class partition, shifting the balance of the fuselage, and their planes land emergency, but there are no landing strips in the ocean, therefore was resolutely dismissed. (Some people call these planes cattlemen. ) The port in Zurich is beyond praise, the planes are super, the food was plentiful, chocolate, ice cream, new movies, the ocean slipped quickly, and on the way back we slept on four chairs each, since the plane was 60% empty. I regretted that I took only a couple of hours for the transfer, there was not enough time to inspect and buy everything. By the way, look carefully at which terminal you have, there was one an hour before, and forty minutes before departure it changed to another, to which you need to go by metro, and even go through inspection again. Swiss knives that are sold in duty free, although the blade is 10 cm, but in the package and with a check, are freely, without any questions, allowed into the salon. But. Buy only on the way back, the Dominicans will not let you through, although Punta Cana does not take water away. They know her price. . . We arrived late in the evening by taxi to the hotel, gave us a room on the 2nd floor, and got stuck in the elevator, as the stairs were not found. They pressed the help button in the elevator, the siren howled. No one came. They lilaced several times, 30 minutes passed, and we were called down by a tourist in pajamas, whom we prevented from sleeping, none of the servants came!!! ! We returned to the reception, demanded another room, without elevators, on the first floor. After 10 minutes they gave, trudged to another room, opened it, but another person was sleeping there! How we opened it with our key is a reason to think. . . They returned and demanded a third number. The child and I are tired, we want to wash, we want to eat, sleep, but we have to hang out over a vast territory back and forth. They came, like the room was empty, but our things were taken to that second floor, we had to go to the reception for the fourth time and find out where the luggage was. The room was next to the theater and disco, until two in the morning music with a Dominican accent, regardless of who wrote it. There are not enough seats in the theater for everyone, therefore, when a circus or a Michael Jackson show, the citizens of the Union republics take all the seats with hats, bottles, bags, towels a couple of hours before the start. There is no wi-fi, only for u$d 4 for 30 minutes, and then only at the reception. The safe is paid, at least u $ d 50, and almost immediately blocked, and there was money, phones, tablets, they asked to open it during the day, but the master was at lunch, then he was at another facility, then he had dinner, then he went home, and they promised to open it safe only on the trail. day. The climate is damp, nothing dries, if you want to dry something, take it to the beach. Full of mosquitoes in the room. Bites the size of five rubles, and which mosquito with ZIKA is unknown. Travel bag, clothes, toothbrushes, baseball caps covered with mold, overgrown with fungus. Had to wash regularly. In a restaurant, you can’t take wine, beer, tea, coffee yourself, the waiters wear it, but they may not bring it, then you have to leave the restaurant, go to the bar, wait there for it to be poured, and return to the table. We went to a la carte 8 times, it also got worse, lobsters disappeared in Italian, salmon disappeared in Japanese, juicy tacos disappeared in Mexican, old, half-boiled, tasteless corn appeared in steaks instead of tender young corn. After juices and cocktails, lips are painted in chemical colors. The reception is rude, the waiters are rude, the maids use vigorous bleach, as they fight mold, the smell is terrible, and the doors cannot be opened, even more ZIKA mosquitoes will fly in. Near the bed, he covered a huge cockroach with a roll of toilet paper, the child said that it was a cricket, he seemed to believe it, because he made me let it go into the bushes, I had to take it away. . . Water mechanical activities are free, but require u$d20 for the first briefing. On the tennis courts, they also take twenty for the first workout, then for free. When leaving, they also demand money for half a day. The beach is flooded. It used to be huge, clean, gently sloping, now they began to build neighboring hotels, uprooted coastal palm trees, on which we tore coconuts for free, the island is gradually sinking under water. There are a lot of Russians with bulky golden collars, who have intelligence, you know what, they taught the staff Russian "words", and now they have a refined address "bro" instead of "sir". Yes, if you go, take a pillow with you. Everything is lumpy there, I had to make a pillow from a bedspread in order to sleep. In sockets 110 volts, the iPad is not fully charged overnight. The refrigerator does not freeze, just like a box of chemical soda. Coffee for the coffee maker is not brought every day, as expected, but once a week ! ! The staff likes to chat loudly among themselves in gibberish, standing twenty meters apart, early in the morning. There is no soundproofing in the rooms, the whole building was worried about the girl who could not finish. The walls in the rooms are stained with blood from mosquitoes, cracked, the doors are peeled off, the bath without curtains, so there is water on the floor until you cover it with two or three towels, the tiles are in fungus, the musty smell of which gives a headache. I took some pictures of "moss" on things and mosquito bites. The child had up to five huge bites per night. We brought ZIKA to Moscow or not, I don't know, but I feel bad. . . Yes, I still foresee the answers of the "defenders" of the hotel, who will argue that they personally did not have this with them. I'm happy for you. But it was with us, otherwise I would not have undertaken to write!
