Good afternoon
We rested at the hotel. BAVARO PRINCESS ALL SUITES RESORT SPA & CASINO from 21.04. 2012 to 04.05. 2012.
As a rule, people looking for hotel reviews spend a long period of time searching for information. Therefore, I will divide my review into 2 parts. The first will be short, and the second will be extended with the rationale for a particular assessment.
And so the first part. I will evaluate on a 10-point system.
Flight: Air carrier - Transaero.
Aircraft - 8 (somewhat worn)
Service - 8
Meals - 10 (more than enough, they didn’t even eat everything)
Hotel: Overall rating - 9
Settlement - 8 (need a bribe)
Room – 8 (the furniture is a little worn out, but this does not interfere with the overall impression)
Meals - 10
Hotel area – 10
Beach – 1.10 1.10…. .
Service - 9 (there are minor flaws that do not give a 10)
Country: Overall score - 7
People - 8 (friendly)
Merchants - 5 (very intrusive, clingy, trying to fool at every step)
Shopping - 7 (only souvenirs, everything else is expensive)
Nature - 10
Ocean - 10 ...beyond praise ...
Second part. Now I will try to justify the above assessments, explain what and how to do in this country so that the best impressions remain from the rest.
Flight:
The carrier is Transaero. After reading the reviews, we were a little upset that on the days of our departure we came across exactly Transaero. The reviews wrote about poor nutrition, cold on the plane, not being comfortable, etc. But nothing from what we had read earlier was confirmed.
The plane (score 8) is really not new. This is a Boeing 747, a two-story colossus, indeed, not all personal screens work, not all chairs have full headphone jacks. But everything else is in good condition. Comfortable chairs, clean bathrooms, working individual ventilation and personal lighting of the chair.
For service on the plane score 8.
Due to the deterioration of the screens, watching movies was not very comfortable. My screen periodically turned off, then turned on by itself. The number of films leaves much to be desired. On one channel they showed cartoons, on the other a movie. On other channels - Transaero advertising. One channel includes a navigator with a demonstration of the points of departure and landing, the speed and altitude of the liner, the remaining path and time to the destination. The stewards worked well, served politely. Everyone was provided with blankets, and on the way back also sleep masks and warm socks. But we didn't need warm clothes.
But the fly in the ointment is the passengers. Separate elements of this mass want to put a deuce. Better yet, a stake, and in a certain place. We were in the tail section of the plane, so that during unloading at Puncto-Kane we passed almost the entire plane. What kind of pigs were sitting on separate rows of the plane. Frank bullshit.
They left behind piles of scattered beer bottles, glasses, scattered nuts and dirty napkins. Horror. Citizens, leaving on vacation, leave the pig's snout at home. It is because of such people that all of Russia is then considered cattle. In fairness, it must be said that on the way back the plane was left by passengers much cleaner.
Meals on the plane are sufficient and, in principle, of good quality. Fed 2 times, satisfying, we liked it. By type of activity, you often have to fly, there is something to compare with. Therefore, we have absolutely no complaints about nutrition.
Hotel:
Overall rating - 9. A bit did not reach ten. And I will write about this at the beginning of the topic about the hotel.
The first minus is the settlement (put 8). To get a good room, you will need 1. Hotel card, 2. Twenty dollars. Your actions. Initially, (if you do not have a premium class room), you will be offered rooms in the area where buildings are located with numbers 48-58 and 61-65.
In the area of buildings 48-65 (except for 59 and 60) there are rooms that are not renovated, without a jacuzzi with small TVs and more shabby furnishings. According to the reviews of people who got into those rooms, it smelled of dampness. Buildings 1 and 2 - diplomat category, from 30-35 - Vip - class, buildings 66-86 - platinum category, if these numbers are needed, then a specific category of the number must be specified in the contract. The rest are standard accommodation. In principle, look at the hotel map in advance, and when checking in, poke your finger into the desired area and put the treasured piece of paper. Get a number. Of the remaining buildings, I do not recommend rooms in houses from 18-22. During our stay in the area where these houses were located, at times there was a persistent unpleasant smell of sewerage. Maybe it was a temporary phenomenon and associated with some kind of repair work, but the smell is terrible.
Number.
Knowing the features of the settlement after the offer to settle in house number 56, we immediately said no, and asked to offer something else. After leaving for a five-minute "meeting with the boss" we were offered house number 9, we gave 20 bucks and were satisfied. They say the second floor is better. We had the first one, but the terrace went directly to the garden (No. 095). We liked it, the place is not passable. In general, we were satisfied. The furniture in the room has some wear and tear, but it is insignificant. Everything is whole, it works, in general, we liked it. There is also a large jacuzzi right next to the bed, a separate dressing room with washbasins and then a shower room with a bathroom. In addition to a huge bed in the room, there is a wicker sofa and armchairs with soft seats, a coffee table, a large wardrobe, a safe, and chairs and a table on the terrace. Towels, bed, everything is fine.
Nutrition. On nutrition write here more than once. We were satisfied.
The main restaurant has a wide variety of products, both local and European cuisine. There is an Italian and American corner, a varied buffet, fresh juices, local fruits, a variety of cheeses, meat, fish. Each evening was devoted to a separate national cuisine (French, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, etc. ) Restaurants Ala - I liked the cards less, but this is more likely because of my illiteracy in the names of cuisine unfamiliar to me. In the main restaurant, you take what you like by the view. And here you have to guess by the name. I liked guessing. There was a delicious octopus, meat, fish, desserts (I don’t remember the names), courteous waiters. The restaurant on the beach is also good.
The hotel area is gorgeous.
Very green hotel, many palm trees, animals (flamingos, peacocks, parrots, geese, ducks, local birds of different sizes and colors, full of turtles, fish of different sizes, from guppies to meter Japanese carp, rabbits, iguanas in a fenced area) All this asks there is. Turtles swim up for bananas, eat directly from the hands. Birds are waiting for delicious buns and bread. Rabbits eat everything that is crunchy and bread there too. Iguanas - papaya and melon. Fish eat bread. And local birds ask for bread, take it in their beaks, drag it into a pond, carefully put it in the water and catch fish on it. In general, there are a lot of living creatures, it is interesting for both adults and children.
The beach is beyond description. It is a paradise. We liked that the beach near the hotel is not overloaded with tourists. You can walk along the beach wherever your eyes look. The sand is fabulous, soft and pleasant, there is nothing that could hurt the foot in any way. The beach is like velvet. In addition, the sand does not heat up at all. This is amazing.
Room service is good, there were a couple of joints in cleaning, despite the tip, which does not allow you to put a ten. But this is such a trifle that I pay attention to it, only out of objectivity. I will not describe the shortcomings, they are not worth attention and do not change the overall impression of the rest.
But I will write more about the country, people and trade. There is something to pay attention to here.
And so are people. In general, people are friendly, somewhat slow, but not in the question “give me a dollar” The dollar is asked for everything and always, for the slightest movement in your direction. At first it was uncomfortable, but then you stop paying attention to it. Children especially beg on excursions. And giving one, you run the risk of being left without pants. Immediately, a flock of kids swoops down on you. Instead of dollars, sweets are quite welcome.
Therefore, if you are not loaded with things and take a suitcase with a reserve of space for the export of cigars and rum, then fill this place with a bag of sweets or not a lot of small toys. And the children will be happy, from the generosity of the tourist, and you are pleased that the children received a bonus from you. Well, the place from sweets will be filled with cigars, rum and souvenirs. In the outback people are poor.
Merchants. I didn't like the merchants at all. They see Russians from a mile away by the cross on their necks. By the way, only Orthodox go with crosses. They run up to you, immediately “light brown? ”, “ Light brown tourist image morale? “I don’t know who taught them this, but they all know this phrase. And having heard in response “light brown”, they are extremely polite and helpfully trying to drag them into their shop. After dragging start a divorce. There are no price tags. They begin to pull everything on the dish that your eye falls on, rumble incessantly that “know mafia” and “not expensive”. And this most “not expensive” is not voiced.
Just ask the price is not possible, in response one "not expensive. " Moreover, the degree of the final price of scammers is inversely proportional to the degree of your tan. The more tan, the lower the price. The starting price reaches four times the real one.
Now a few tips so that your shopping is successful and not feel like a sucker.
1. There is a Russian shop on Bavaro beach. It is a 15-20 minute walk from this hotel. Standing on the beach with your back to the hotel, look to the right. In the distance you will see the Russian flag. Go to him. Approaching the flag, local shopkeepers will start pestering you. We pass by, we do not pay attention. We reach the store. We go, we study prices and discounts. You can even write it down. Now you are armed. You can go on excursions. If you can't find it cheaper there, then you will come back to this store.
2. Do not buy anything on the beach.
Beach peddlers most often sell drugs, the rest is a front. Underground cigars with improper storage, or even better, made from palm leaves. The maximum that you can take from them is magnets, if you bargain.
3. In stores, keep in mind that very often the price they have is without tax. Especially in jewelry. Therefore, check the price with tax.
4. Don't buy silver jewelry from shopkeepers. They have everything that looks like silver - there is silver. Moreover, they will show a test. That's just my vision allows you to examine the sample without a magnifying glass. And when such a merchant began to poke at the place where there are three dots, saying that this is a test, and I saw three dots, I silently put this product down and no longer approached the shopkeepers at all. Well, such impudence kills. I wanted 70 bucks for a piece of iron. And this is at the fair in the hotel.
Even if you find a product made of silver, the quality is disgusting, even for $20, it seems like a small souvenir is a little expensive, but as a wearable item it will not work. As a memory, I brought silver from the local branded jewelry store from the Dominican Republic. Some of the locals keep this shop and there are quite worthy products. True and the price is right. They have developed a collection of products, the logo of the store is a dragonfly.
5. Their clothes are not cheap. This is not Turkey for you. So, it is unlikely that you will arrive with a suitcase full of clothes. But, nevertheless, on the territory of the hotel's beach there is a trading pavilion with stunning swimwear and beach suits for them. Girls, I strongly recommend that you keep $175 for this shop. Swimwear 5 types, ranging from a joint swimsuit, ending with a separate one with a push-up effect.
They have swimming trunks from classic deep ones to tango (4 types of models), and for all this a set is selected that you make yourself, there are pareos, and tunics, and blouses, but the most amazing thing is a transformer skirt that is converted into a sundress and into a dress , and in a blouse and a short jacket - the topic also transforms into completely different models. The Spaniards sew, the collection seems to be French. The colors are amazing. The sizes are different, so that everyone will find an outfit to their liking, from girls of model appearance to magnificent ladies. And age isn't a problem either. There are plenty to choose from.
6. Take a folding bag with you. Everyone flies away loaded with rum, souvenirs, cigars.
7. If you don’t understand rum at all, go to a Russian shop, they will let you try different types there, they will explain what the difference is. Well, go back to it anyway.
Nature is beyond praise and appreciation. Take an excursion to the Caribbean Sea, to the islands, to the caves. You will not regret.
Buy a good camera. You will arrive with a bunch of photos. From excursions I recommend the same jeep safari. Excursions are better to take a little more expensive, but with the participation of small groups. Better 3 excursions, but of high quality, than 5 but, "gallop through Europe" ...
The ocean is a fairy tale. I will not describe all its charms. It's long and not necessary. Paradise is Paradise. Tip - you choose this hotel, or some other, first look at the naked in the Google map. Pay attention to the dark patches along the ocean beach. The closer they are to the edge of the beach, the more grass will be brought to the beach after high tide, or a small wave. There was not much grass on the beach of this hotel and it was always promptly removed.
The language barrier is not felt, a little knowledge of English by us, they are a bit in Russian, plus sign language and you will agree.
Bottom line - the hotel is good, I recommend it, we will return if possible, I will advise my friends.
We rested at the hotel. BAVARO PRINCESS ALL SUITES RESORT SPA & CASINO from 21.04. 2012 to 04.05. 2012.
