VERY NICE!
We were also in this hotel at the same time as in previous reviews, from March 11 to March 21 with Pegasus and Nordwind. In principle, everything has already been described, for those who are going, some points. They took a few sandwiches from Arkhangelsk to McDonald's on the plane so as not to starve in Moscow and the plane)). We also went to the funicular and the sightseeing around the city with Miguel Diaz, I recommend (I read reviews here and comments before the trip, I knew Natalia from Khimki in absentia on her questions before the trip))) even together it turned out to be half the price than with Pegasus, plus he gave his discount card at the supermarket. They paid by card there, there was no peso, and they decided to leave the remaining bucks, but, in that store, you can use bucks, the discounts are awesome on some clothes, and the commission is scanty. Course 1:48. And if six of us go to a survey in Puerto Plata, then almost for free)) - for 70 bucks for everyone, plus 10 for the cable car. The coordinates of it have already been posted, I'll post a photo below. We watched whales, Bacardi Island and Samana, went on ocean fishing, took excursions near the beach from shops, $ 20-30 cheaper, took a picture, it was sold just in case, but everything is OK. (In attachments) We went with Pegasus only to Santo Domingo , on the beach he only has Santiago for almost the same price. By the way, the bus guide exchanged 100 bucks at the rate of 1:49, he also sells mamajuana on the bus for $3. In the capital, a supermarket (there is only pesos) they took three bottles of rum, in 8 packs of coffee beans, on the street - small things as gifts for kids, a pair of baseball caps, two pairs of sneakers, bags with "Dominican", etc. , including a dozen magnets of 1.2 $. We didn’t go to the waterfalls, it’s hard, and I was twice on Niagara in Canada on the border with the States and Iguazu in Brazil on the border with Paraguay... There are waterfalls there, and I looked at these on YouTube, I think for young people. IMHO.
On the second day, in the formation (pharmacy) in a nearby hotel, Claro sims were bought for $ 20. Plus $3 for unlimited internet for 5 days and (although they say it's 5 geeks) and $2 for 5 minutes of phone. just in case, suddenly somewhere we will lose each other. ) Therefore, the whole rest is in touch and the Internet. You can also buy an operator for $ 7, but you have to go to the city for 40 bucks round trip. They called Russia, several times, that was enough. By the way, mobile Internet flies compared to WiFi at the reception, photo and video home via Wiber every day and a lot. Five days later they came and extended for 3 bucks for another 5 days. (Sims are alive, I can send for half the price, save $ 10 apiece). Or transfer Arkhangelsk 1.2, 5.04 and Muscovites 2-5.04 to the next. week. )

The food is good, no sour yesterday's salads, as we had in Egypt and Turkey, juices for every taste, freshly squeezed, whiskey, rum, brandy, beer... nothing diluted, everything is original, plus 4 bottles in the room! )) On the second day, I gave one waiter a dollar at the end of dinner, for bringing me an additional two beers (and so, basically, you have to go for drinks yourself or sit in a bar), so he next days, when he worked, showered me with all sorts of drinks you could ask for. I had to part with another 4 bucks)). Name and photo attached. He understands a little Russian and speaks good English.
Fish, though in one form, was every day, on the last day I ate too much tuna)).
Be sure to go to the swamp behind the hotel, see the herons and feed the turtles.
A little further to the port there are shops . . , you have to bargain...
Yes, Gabriella works at the reception, she understands and speaks Russian very well, she, at my request, connected us with Miguel. On the third day I saw ants on the balcony, and in the corridor there were small mosquitoes in the mornings and evenings, I told her to sprinkle. She at the same moment said something on the radio, handed me a liter spray bottle, and five minutes later, when we approached the room, the maid puts us another bottle! )).
In general, the staff is decent everywhere, I didn’t see much difference to us and to the same Canadians.
Another thing they wrote about here . . , the landfill did not burn, they did not hear about theft in our race.
This holiday is probably the best of the last three!
Here are just a flight, a little harder than to Vietnam, especially for me, who smokes).
But Norvind... there with a delay of half an hour in total, back almost on schedule.
There will be questions, ask. . .
Thank you, good luck and have a great holiday!
