Just a couple of hours ago we returned home from the Dominican Republic. The vacation turned out to be spontaneous, the country and the hotel were chosen in a hurry, but apparently we were lucky. So, in order:
We flew from Kyiv by carrier Azur Air from AnexTour. From Kyiv to La Romana, the flight takes 12 hours, back 10 hours 40 minutes. Plane - boing 767, very cramped. They feed on board 2 times and quite well.
We arrived at the hotel at 5:35, asked for an early check-in and went straight to the room for $15.
Number:
We lived in the first building in room 1216. This is the farthest building from the beach. The rooms are not new, but clean, comfortable and everything works. I must say right away that the safe here is for a fee and costs $ 2 per day. As for the sockets, they are American-style and need an adapter. We saw them in the store on site, you can take them from home. The voltage in the sockets is 110 volts, so if your hair dryer or other device does not work, do not be upset that it has broken, it simply does not have enough voltage.
Territory:
When you look at photos on the Internet, the territory seems much larger than it actually is. But everything is compact, green and very beautiful!! ! Open lobby with free wi-fi, to the right of the building, to the left: 2 shops, a bar, a theater, a sports bar with 2 billiard tables, 2 table tennis tables and 2 table hockey tables; next to the main restaurant. There is also a swimming pool nearby, and on both sides of it there are a la carte restaurants, and of course the beach.
Beach:
Amazing turquoise ocean! The beach line is not wide, but there are never any problems with sunbeds. As for the algae, they are cleaned every morning, so there are no seaweeds on the beach.
Nutrition:
Despite the fact that the state is located on the ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Dominicans prefer meat. We did not go to a la carte restaurants, although there are 3 of them on the territory (Italian, fish and meat) and you can visit them unlimitedly for free and without prior appointment. We ate at the main restaurant. Yes, the choice is less than in Turkey or Egypt, but everything is very tasty. There are always several types of meat, fish, fruits, vegetables, ice cream, seafood, desserts. If you don’t want to go to a common restaurant for lunch, you can have a bite of pizza or burgers near the pool.
Animation:
In this hotel, to put it mildly, she is not very intrusive! It can't be said that it doesn't exist at all, but. . . Although we must pay tribute, evening programs take place every evening, but these are programs, not shows. The mini-disco is quite dull. And again, there is a moment that between dinner and the mini-disco there is a big gap of time, people do not know what to do (especially those who come without children toil).
Excursions:
Oh, that's a separate issue. There is certainly something to see here! Only here at tour operators they are well, very expensive !! ! Eugene walks on the beach, he is much cheaper. Well, if you are a really good driver, do not listen to the guides and rent a car. Our guide scared us with traffic, and that we would not get where we want... The only thing where he told the truth is that the Dominicans only know Spanish and even English they they just don’t understand (we understood this when we rode around the country on our own). We rented a car in a Russian-speaking office for $45 per day (and $200 deposit) for 2 days and traveled half the country. I must say right away that there are toll roads, costing 60, but mostly 100 pesos (but they are worth it). The locals drive very brazenly, especially mopeds and motorcycles. So, if you are confident in yourself as a driver, take the car and go ahead, save a lot.
Outcome:
Another country in the piggy bank. I really liked the hotel! We will be happy to return again.
P. S. The sun is very evil, even in the shade. You need at least 50 defense.
