The beach is super, palm trees, beige sand, comfortable sun loungers, there are a lot of them. There is a bar on the beach, but not all drinks are available. The food is good, from seafood - there were king prawns in unlimited quantities, perfectly cooked, but 1 time in two weeks, squid always, mussels sometimes, get into a la carte, they said at the reception that you can without an appointment, in fact they arrived on time, there were tables, but they didn’t let them in, they served red fish. (But not for us)))) Once there was jamon, dor blue cheese and other "sweets" sometimes - a couple of times (apparently, in the neighboring 5 * Bavaro were lying around). The most interesting thing is that a tour to a nearby excellent 5 * bavaro was even cheaper than this 4 in a week after our arrival home.
In general, with the prices for holidays in the Dominican Republic, everything is not so simple. Everyone praises February as the best month of the year (respectively, the most expensive), but in fact - it is not hot here at all in February, a paradise for lovers of the so-called "comfortable temperature". Personally, it was even cool for me in the shade by the ocean, I didn’t always want to go into it, the wind near the ocean is strong. But the Caribbean Sea is a delight, I don’t know why everyone recommends going to the Atlantic to Punta Cana, the Caribbean impressed me much more, the water is transparent, like in a pool, and warmer than the ocean. But here to each his own. Tourists with a completely opposite opinion rested with us. In March and April, the price for two was almost $1.000 cheaper, and I think it was much warmer.
And again about the hotel - Cleaning in the rooms is good, the floor is washed often, but one FAT MINUS - PRUSIAN, they are huge....for me - it's tough... Animation - in the evenings sometimes show equilibrists, magician (credit, still in the bar of vacationers interested in magic tricks), sometimes music with a disco. In my opinion, there is no children's animation, they went by themselves, they were not interested. Aqua aerobics, darts, bocha - yes. They give mugs, t-shirts, dolls to the winners. Animation is better, sometimes worse. Average level. Separately, I would like to say about cocktails - this is not Turkey with their poisonous blue-green drinks, which can only poison Colorados, here the cocktails are cool, the fruits in them are real, and just the local alcohol is not bad. I liked tequila, rosé wine, Pina collada, Margarita, Mojito cocktails, and anyone can do it. The non-alcoholic ones are delicious too. Near the hotel "Caribbean street", about 10 shops with souvenirs, and that's it. There is nowhere to play. At all. The territory of the hotel is well-groomed and green. Standard room, nothing special.

Overall a good hotel for a relaxing holiday. But advice - it's better to take a tour to the neighboring 5 * Bavaro, it is much better, even at the entrance to the hall you will feel the difference. (You can use the infrastructure, watch shows, even pour champagne in the evening, just don’t shine your bracelet))) locals practically don’t rest in 5 *, unlike 4, in which they go every weekend. Another point - a dollar is not considered a tip here, less than 5 is not accepted, especially in a bar. Moreover, some bartenders almost demand a tip for a cocktail. Sockets are suitable for our devices, there is a water park. In general, the hotel is not bad, only to poison the Prussians, but if possible, it is better to take Bavaro, he is nearby. In the Dominican Republic, the attractions are the beach, the Caribbean Sea with stars, the Three Eyes Cave, humpback whales in February, and that's about it. Larimar-stone was not impressed.
