Reviews and holiday report in the Dominican Republic, GRAN BAHIA PRINCIPE PUNTA CANA.
Ukraine, Kyiv, Travel Agency "Caprice". July 2010
1. The first on the way is Charles Degol! Dirty and not convenient airport. Be on the lookout all the time! Where to go is not clear, where the registration is not correctly indicated. In the ticket, one port is actually another. Toilets are dirty. Shit on a transplant to have 2 hours at least. Or, for 100 euros, book a transfer to Charlus Degaul at the agency. For this money, we were met by a guy and led to our place of registration by vegetable gardens. Back in Borispol, these francophones almost crashed, the trainee woman, controlled, went to the second landing. The plane was so sausage that the children vomited, although they are accustomed to flying.

2. First of all, find out how long ago the representatives of the travel agency were in this hotel and what service they will present to you there now. We took the most expensive Gold package, GRAN BAHIA PRINCIPE PUNTA CANA, but that's just the name. Very high humidity. Yes, accommodation is near the sea, but there are 4 bus stops to the restaurant. The hotel has 4 routes, and they go one by one. Stops after 50-100 m. The buildings are old and dirty. There are cockroaches in the rooms. Due to the abundant vegetation, there is no movement of air and the stuffiness is terrible. Things did not dry out during the 2 days that we spent in this “gomd”. The hotel has 2000 - 4000 residents and there is always a queue for the restaurant. The dishes in the restaurant are dirty and sticky. The food is normal and quite edible. The Ala Carte restaurant chain is crap, a waste of time. We do not advise them to visit anything interesting. The joke of this hotel and our agency. We have 2 small children 4 and 8 years old. So they gave us a gift - The second child is free! Coconut them well....for this gift ! Class, only they didn’t give a bed for the second child, they are not supposed to put a bed in the room 3, so the three of us with the baby on one large bed and the eldest on the other. For two weeks on vacation, I could not even kiss my wife, after all, the children are with us all the time. All sockets are American, and 127 in. Not all devices may work. Take adapters and extension cords with you. Clothesline and clothespins.
3. So we lived for 2 days! And from the local guide, we learn that they have another hotel in this territory - Esmiralda. Yes, he is 2 years old. He was surprised why the agency did not know about him and did not offer us! ? With a separate restaurant and infrastructure. We saw him from the beach and decided to go to see them. Arriving in Esmeralda, we saw the light, this is a separate country, everything is SUPER! Restaurant, rooms, service and even a light sea breeze blows through the entire territory. The restaurant has a bomb menu (marine collection - crabs, lobsters, shrimps and fish), fruits, meat, etc. Champagne Brut at least swim in it. Alcohol is great. We paid extra for 10 days 500 bucks. Rested great. Excursions are expensive and very difficult because of the heat, I do not recommend taking children further than the dolphinarium. And you need to go to the dolphins where the passage from the shore is not by boat. The place is a fairy tale - a parrot, walruses, tigers and dolphins. Specify that they are not taken on a tour by truck-bus, it sucks, like in the Army. Ask for an air conditioned bus. The transition of time went well, but when we arrived home, we could not leave and work for 3 days, it was very hard.
4. We concluded for ourselves that it makes no sense to fly such a distance when there are a lot of normal resorts next to us, we do not take into account the Crimea. With our money (budget up to $ 10.000), there is nothing to meddle in the Crimea.
