Мой второй дом. My second home.

A miracle happened and I was lucky to meet my 26th birthday by the ocean, in the country of bachata, rum and cocoa, in the Dominican Republic. As a person who knows the tourism business from the inside, I have certain requirements for choosing a vacation spot. And the choice fell on the Now Larimar resorts hotel in Punta Cana. How does it feel at home when you are greeted with the phrase “Welcome home”, the feeling that you are not here for the first time, but returned after a long absence. Personally, I have very warm relations with this country, but this is also the merit of the hotel employees. The hotel itself is located in the Bavaro Beach area, on the first line and the policy is only All-in, which means no bracelets. Nevertheless, the hotel has a division into VIP and not, but the only difference is in the number of rooms, although against the background of my previous travels, even my Tropical view room is just a suite! Quiet, palm trees, sky and even a little ocean. The functionality of the territory allows, in principle, not to leave the hotel anywhere. It has everything, shops, a beauty salon, a nightclub, an Internet business room, a casino, a square where various events were held every evening, and even a night market. I'm already silent about fitness, spa and game rooms. In general, as I noticed, the hotel is more family-friendly, there are no crazy performances of violent youth, unbridled frenzy, and so on. In the mornings, the program and dance lessons from the animators, which I safely watched from a deck chair with a plate of another yummy. The beaches are not separated, which means you can languidly walk along the coastline, enjoying the ocean. At some point, you feel like a part of this life. Separately, I want to say about food. There is a lot of it here, different, tasty, unusual, from different countries, except for Russian. But the grill bar, sea restaurant and others simply mercilessly bribe with variety that I unwittingly became a slave to gluttony. I was always with a plate of food and a pino collada cocktail, B/A of course. On my birthday, the hotel staff congratulated me personally. We decorated the room with balloons, a cake, champagne, a letter and even a ribbon on the door! And for dinner, the musicians sang a song to me and all the guests congratulated and raised their glasses! It was like in a movie, so cool that I still remember with goosebumps of happiness! The friendliness and friendliness of the country, and especially the staff and guests, conquered forever. They always smile at you, greet you, wish you a good day, and it doesn’t matter if it’s a maid or a manager, even guests are sincerely interested in how your vacation went. In Punta Cana there is a very good company Two Bananas, which offers excursions of any choice, from an extreme safari by our Russian Airborne Forces officer to a romantic VIP trip to Saona Island, bounty beaches. I stopped at the last one. The tour consists of 3 parts: visiting the city of artists Altos de Chavon, fishing on a yacht and a luxurious lunch on the island of Saona with Russian-speaking guide Dimon, who, among other things, knows a lot of funny stories! On the way back, there is a stop in the strait of the islands of Haiti and Saona, where, at a depth of only 1.5 meters, you can take pictures with starfish. And you can even see the border of the ocean and the sea, the view is simply fantastic. On the last day there was a fire show on the beach, and then a party. These are indescribable emotions when everyone is dancing together, when it doesn’t matter what country you are from, what language you speak. Everyone is happy. RD is a land of happiness without fuss, thanks to Now Larimar resorts! I will definitely return!
