I read previous reviews and, frankly, I'm shocked ...with what mood you arrive, you will rest ...

Essential review:

They flew Azur, damn it...bruises on my knees...the seats are shifted outrageously! 12 o'clock tin...

Check-in - the plane landed at 4.30 local time, go to the hotel at about 1.15. There was an almost full bus to this hotel, but packed envelopes were already waiting at the reception with 2 keys, 2 cards for towels and a login and password for wi-fi, which works great throughout the hotel and the beach.

Room - we were settled in 410 with a view of Riu Bambu, from the balcony in the morning just a gorgeous sunrise! The room is quite lively, tired refrigerator and safe, but working. Cleaned every day, towels changed too! Of the accessories - ordinary soap and shower gel, so take your cosmetics with you. Water was brought without problems 2 bottles of 1.5 liters, 2 bottles of 0.5 liters, 2 bottles of Pepsi of 0.5 liters. There are mosquitoes, take funds.

The food is all delicious!

although not signed) just try a little of everything and come for what you like) Breakfast - I counted 6 types of scrambled eggs! Delicious pancakes, and simply divinely delicious fried bananas in syrup! to pancakes and pancakes nougat, various toppings and nutella! Behind a separate counter of sausages and cheeses and a particularly tasty pate) there are also freshly squeezed juices and fruits: papaya, pineapples, melons, bananas, passion fruit. Lunch - always liquid, fried sea fish, poultry and pork, rice in different versions, mashed potatoes, various side dishes, salads, cuts, fruits. Dinner is beyond praise! every evening white fish, red fish, mussels, squids, paella with seafood, meat of various types 3, on the counter with jamon or basturma salads, avocado with tuna, their signature dish is guacamole! different sauces - all sooo delicious! Tables in a checkerboard pattern. On the street, do not leave food on the table - there are little black thieves)))

The bars are the coolest above the pool!
the cocktail menu is just superb! make very tasty! Tequila comes in awesome! ) on the beach - a little simpler, but then it's not boring on the beach) for those who don't drink coffee and tea there, the last bar on the lobby is open in the evening.

The beach is the ocean ....it is terribly beautiful! it is amazing at any time of the day...Insanely unreal sunrises, don't be lazy and meet at least one (sunrise at 6.47 local time). There are plenty of sunbeds, a very green beach with palm trees, there is enough space for everyone, a light breeze always blows, so take creams - it is very deceptive. The climate is very humid, it is impossible to dry your hair, clothes are the same, therefore, girls, take plenty of swimsuits) places for selfies are simply heavenly, walk along the strip in different directions, the coastline is very cool.

Pool - yes, mostly locals with children there, but, frankly, I don’t understand people who flew 12 hours to then sit in the pool ...they never went there.
The locals are very colorful people and it is interesting to watch them) wonderful children and in general the locals did not bother anywhere and in any way.

Daylight is short, at 18 it is already dark. After dinner, everyone goes to a bar where Spanish music, dancing and alcohol are played)

Regarding complaints about noisy locals: my husband and I spent the whole day so much in the ocean that we couldn’t hear this noise, it cut down literally after a delicious dinner right away) who wants silence - to the Maldives or Zanzibar. The Dominican Republic, in principle, is a continuous movement, here all the locals are always dancing and having fun.

Trips: with Anex we went to the island of Saona, for whom pathos, beautiful photos with stars - go there) along the way we stopped by the city of artists - an interesting place and very beautiful)


from the Dominican Republic. we went to Samana, this is the north of the island, very green and colorful, visited the reserve with flying stones, the cave of the natives, the island of Bacardi (or Caya Levantado) - super!

P. S. Who will travel from the Dominican Republic.
about Samana, you will make a stop for breakfast at a local bar. There is a dog with an injured paw - be human and feed, she needs so little: a little human warmth and a sandwich.

Who wants to visit the shops - install Uber and go! we went to a huge Jumbo supermarket, bought rum home, mangoes, chips (you won’t bring fruit home, transportation is only in luggage and 15 kg of luggage per person, though you can plus for two)

Who wants to rent a car - think about it ...the country has a curfew from 19, and tourists are not allowed into tourist spots because of covid ...only tour operators. Toll roads, gas in gallons, car rental from $30

In general, the rest is simply gorgeous! 11 days flew by quickly, I did not want to leave. Those who are accustomed to seeing the minuses on vacation will always only notice them and will. We had a blast and will be back for sure!
