Well, omitting the laudatory praises of the Dominican Republic and its simply fantastic atmosphere of relaxation . . I would like to tell you about the hotel.
The hotel itself is located in Juan Dolio, a 3-hour drive from Punta Cana International Airport, where Transaero charter flights arrive. In Santo Domingo, which is about 40 minutes from the hotel, only regular Aeroflot flights fly to the airport.
The hotel is not located in the village of Juan Dolio itself, but apart, that is, there is nothing outside the hotel. You go out - the road. They have never been to the village and actually did not seek to. Passage only.
The hotel itself is still presented by the operator as 4 stars, although as we found out in the hotel itself, this has long been a troika, and not a Hilton for a long time. It's noticeable, by the way.
The hotel consists of several buildings, quite modest and in some places simply shabby. The fact that the hotel is old is not particularly striking, but it is obvious. Modest reception and everything is quite ascetic. Compared to Egypt, such a spartan atmosphere is even a little surprising%) The room has everything that is indicated: a coffee maker and an iron, a bathroom with a shower. Fan, air conditioning works, huge balcony. True, we settled on the second attempt, in the first room (on the second floor, which is no coincidence! ) The shower did not work. As a result, we were settled on the 4th floor in the next building in a standard room with huge beds (J), but without a remote control)) The remote control had to be taken to the reception, but since we are not Dominicans, we cannot ask 7 times (it’s completely normal for them - they will definitely do it, but not now - manyana)) - tomorrow), then they lived without it.
More about numbers. I don’t know about the rest, we had an adjacent room - a door from the room led to the next room. Hearing is amazing. On the first night, we thought we would go crazy from the ora behind the wall, then we became more cunning - they came later, when the neighbors already had silence; )
The territory is rather big, very green, very beautiful. It continues outside the hotel, as you leave the reception - there are a tennis court, a golf course, a casino.
Two pools, small, shallow. Diving is completely impossible, and, as a rule, those 10 sun loungers that are near the pool are always occupied.
On the sea - raaaay. Palm trees instead of beach umbrellas! You lie like that, bask in the burning sun and fresh breeze and just relax. The sea is amazing. The beach from the sea is "covered" by an artificial structure - a stone embankment. That is, there were never big waves. It never rained! Temperature - every day +30. And we flew in the last week of January 2011. The Caribbean is a paradise : )
Since the hotel is located apart, the beach is deserted, you can walk even to the right, even to the left. Nobody around. In the distance, however, some buildings are already beginning : )
There are 3 restaurants on site (or 4%), we were only in the main Amber. The food was good, but that's all. I can't say that it's very good. There was everything from meat, fruits, vegetables, ice cream, table wine for dinner. Delicious, nothing to do with the same Egyptian wine. Moreover, the waiters themselves bring drinks, you don’t need to run around looking for them. What is relaxing. . .
Animation is awesome. During the day, everything was on the beach that was supposed to be: aerobics, gymnastics, dancing, competitions... And in the evening a miracle began . . How great they dance! The animation team itself is a dance group. They danced on stage almost every night and it was just mesmerizing!
The hotel has a disco where modern music sounds along with merengue and bachata. Disco until three in the morning, all drinks included. By the way, the hotel includes local alcoholic drinks and international cocktails - for fans there are plenty to choose from : )
In summary, I give the hotel a solid four. The hotel is really worth the money. I could recommend it to lovers of a relaxing holiday, or those who want to take a break from their compatriots ; -P There are actually few Russian tourists in this hotel. And in Russian, by the way, no one speaks in the hotel... And even those who go to the Dominican Republic, like us, for the first time, will not regret it! The Caribbean Sea, stunning blue skies and the very atmosphere of paradise - it's worth it!
