Excellent hotel - the whole truth!!! + tips.
We vacationed with a large family, me and my wife and 14-year-old child and parents from July 10 to July 21, 2019. And now about everything in order, with interesting nuances that I did not find in the reviews.

The primary point is that the country is Spanish-speaking, not everyone speaks English well, don’t be lazy to download an off-line translator (I downloaded Google, dictionaries are downloaded separately - 100% understanding)

The second point is that starfish cannot be exported (a very large fine), alcohol is 3 liters per adult; in a suitcase there is no more than 3 liters per suitcase, even if they are combined, buy more later in duty free.

The third point is that no biased attitude towards compatriots was noticed; everyone was served equally and friendly. They love tips, if they deserve them, give them - you will then be person number one for them.

FLIGHT: The tour was taken from Pegasus, respectively, we flew with Nordwind airline. Baggage allowance per person - suitcase 15 kg + hand luggage 5 kg. If the two of you are flying with one suitcase, apply for unification and you will get 30 kg per suitcase. The planes are normal - Boeings, there is enough legroom, they feed you once and that’s for a 12-hour flight, the rest of the time there is water; juices - 2 times per flight, there is no sweet soda such as cola at all (additional meals, as well as pre-registration and seats must be ordered through the company’s website for additional money, you will not be able to do this in the cabin or take food with you - we took it, so we didn’t bother); Once again we were faced with the fact that on such long-distance flights the planes do not have an on-board entertainment system with screens (previously we flew with Transaero - they always had them) - take care of your leisure time in advance, since it was a surprise for many and people wandered around the cabin and went crazy, we this time we were ready for it and downloaded movies and TV series in advance (for Apple devices, I advise you to use the online cinema; we downloaded on Okko); if you want to good places Please arrive for registration 4 hours in advance. Blankets are given only to children, then on a residual basis. Otherwise, everything is fine, the service personnel (stewardesses) were not kind, they walked around the cabin like bloodhounds back and forth, almost looking into their mouths, looking for those who wanted to drink and making comments to everyone with or without reason, ASA pilots.

There is no need to change money; all mutual settlements in the country for tourists take place in dollars.

HOTEL: The road from the airport to the hotel is 30-40 minutes. When checking in, they showed possible options for the rooms to be nearby, they took building No. 32, second floor - it was in the middle with an equal distance from both the sea and the reception where the main restaurant and bar are located. No bribes were asked.

ROOMS: They gave us two rooms: in one everything worked, in the other - almost everything, after contacting the complaint manager, everything was quickly fixed, they even replaced the minibar, which did not cool well. The rooms are chic and spacious, large double canopy bed, sofa, coffee table with two chairs, free safe, TV (2 Russian channels), drip coffee machine, tea and coffee set, air conditioning, fan above the bed, minibar (beer, Pepsi , Pepsi Light, Sprite, Fanta, water - only 2 bottles - replenished daily, although in the first days after complaints), balcony - table plus 2 chairs, for whom it is important to have an iron and an umbrella. In the bathroom, toilet, hairdryer and Jacuzzi bathtub, bathroom amenities (soap, shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, cap, toothbrush and toothpaste) were replenished regularly. Towel - EVERYTHING was changed daily. Cleaning standards are wet, beds are made and trash is collected. The sockets are American, we took adapters with us, they cost $4-5.

FLIES/MOSQUITOES: The area is treated daily. We took with us a fumigator and sprays against midges and mosquitoes - it helped us.

INTERNET: WI FI in the hotel is free, the speed is excellent, it works only in the lobby and requires daily reconnection, and there is a paid one - $9 - it works everywhere, the speed is excellent.

TERRITORY, POOLS: The complex consists of 7 hotels, we could use the infrastructure of 2 more (Punta Cana and Turquesa). Although the infrastructure is large, everything works clearly and smoothly: the hotel area is beautiful, there are palm trees and flowers everywhere, everything is washed, polished, the lawns and garden are taken care of, they are kept shiny and clean. The territory is huge, in the middle there is a pond with mangroves where ducks, herons, fish and turtles live. There is a sports bar with free billiards. Turquesa has an ankle-deep water park for children; just before reaching it there is a sports area: minigolf, bungee trampoline, obstacle course in the trees, tennis court.

Electric cars ply around the territory, there are many routes, the frequency does not force you to wait more than 1-2 minutes. There are four swimming pools, with bars nearby. There are a lot of people in them, they clean them with a vacuum cleaner in the morning and cover them with bleach.

RESTAURANT: I advise you to go to the main one, where the choice of dishes is many times larger. Nutrition: mango, papaya and pineapples all day, very tasty and sweet; melons and watermelons - unsweetened; ice cream 6-8 types for lunch and dinner; seafood every day in one form or another; dorado fish daily; salted salmon for breakfast; freshly squeezed juices - 6 types daily for breakfast (diluted 20-30% with water); jamon all day; pizzas and burgers - lunch and dinner. Lobsters and amara - NO! Dinners are themed every day: Italian, Dominican, Gala dinner, Spanish, Mexican, American, Asian. We liked the Asian one the most (many different sushi and rolls) and the Gala dinner (shrimp, mussels, crab claws - one BUT, you won’t be able to eat them since they don’t provide tongs for them, but in the Fish a la carte restaurant they do - you have to) ask). I liked the service, they escort you to the table, quickly serve you, all drinks: water, wine, beer, cola, Fanta, cocktails, rum is brought by the waiter upon request, just order as soon as you are given a table, otherwise you will wait 10-15 minutes until they bring it.

Once a week there is an evening where they make free pina colada in pineapple and coconut milk in coconut, with rum added if desired.

BARS: at each pool, but I would note only two: the one at the reception - the lobby bar: there were paid and free drinks (Brugal rum, Grants whiskey, J&B, Martini, Mama Juana, local beer and wine, etc.) they made coffee from a coffee machine - not very good. The cocktails are not ice, I liked the banana mama the most. Pina Colada was poured ready-made, like many other cocktails. The shaker and mixer do nothing. And a good bar at the entrance to the beach, where the bartenders also sell alcohol and coffee under the counter: they took Brugal and Mama Juana from them - $10 per 1 liter.

OCEAN, BEACH: It is beautiful - Atlantic, turquoise, but only early in the morning before 8 o'clock. Then seaweed, especially after lunch. There were days when there were fewer of them, sometimes it was like being in an overgrown pond), but they were there every day, now this is the norm and an integral part of the beaches of the Dominican Republic. Although when on an excursion we were on the wild beach of Macau, it is located in a lagoon 30 km from ours - they weren’t there, and on excursions we asked people from other hotels - they all have them. Last year at the same time we were in Cuba - nothing like this happened. Yes, they are removed, but because of them the water is cloudy, visibility is half a meter, and it is not possible to swim with a mask. The beach is sandy, the entrance is gradual - for children Lafa. There are plenty of sun loungers, no one occupies anything for future use and from early morning, half are free throughout the day. Free on the beach: kayaks, canoes. Everything else - cheesecakes, bananas, parasailing, etc. starts from $20. Various souvenir vendors walk along the beach. They left everything on the beach except money - nothing was ever lost.

ANIMATION: During the day on the beach and by the pools, in the evening there are shows in the theater and in the lobby bar, live music and dancing.

AL-CARTE RESTAURANTS: There are 6 of them, we went to the fish (seafood) - I recommend!, Japanese, grill, Italian, Mexican - I recommend!

EXCURSIONS: Republic Pro: 1. We took a jeep safari - $134 for an adult and $67 for a child, like everywhere else we had a blast with a car, we didn’t spare the car, we didn’t ask for your license, the Jeep Wrangler was automatic - the excursion seemed unreasonably expensive; 2. Saona: $59 per adult, there by speedboat with a canopy, swimming along the way in the lagoon where starfish live, there are really a lot of them, we also saw a stingray, take a mask with you, then a beach with a bar and lunch included, and yes they really come to the island first - snow-white sand, turquoise water and more than one seaweed), back on a catamaran accompanied by music and cocktails - I really liked the excursion.

I don’t recommend taking excursions through guides, everything is the same, only 1.5 times more expensive. I also don’t recommend going to their pocket store - a free transfer, the guide assured that the prices are the best in the Dominican Republic, in fact it turned out to be 2 times more expensive than in the shops at the hotel - I’m not kidding - we were in SHOCK, it’s good that we monitored the prices and they didn’t have anything We bought only silver earrings with larimar - their choice is normal, they sell very ugly ones in the market and on the beach, and not in silver. In our hotel there are many shops and a market, you will find everything there and cheaper, you can bargain and reduce the price by 2-3 times.

DEPARTURE: We took shells and local rum with us. The import of strong drinks into the Russian Federation is 3 liters, we took more, no one checked. Prices in duty-free for local rum are very high, but we knew this and therefore bought the Cuban Havana Club, the prices for it are almost the same as in Cuba) - $13 for 0.7, and in terms of quality it is in no way inferior to the Dominican one. We also did this when we were in the Dominican Republic earlier.

There were rains, after all, the rainy season, but only at night, the humidity was normal, the temperature during the day was 30-35 C.

In general, we were satisfied with our vacation; we received a lot of sun, emotions and positivity. If anyone has any questions, I will be happy to answer.
