I really want to warn tourists from this place. Rested here 16-27.11. 2021. If you have a birthday, no one will congratulate you. Do not wait. We were put in room 1501 (garden). For all the rest we saw hot water 1 time!! ! The room is wildly damp, hence the unpleasant smell that nothing can be done about. They don't even give you a blanket - sleep under a sheet. … More ▾ I really want to warn tourists from this place.
Rested here 16-27.11. 2021. If you have a birthday, no one will congratulate you. Do not wait.
We were put in room 1501 (garden). For all the rest we saw hot water 1 time!! ! The room is wildly damp, hence the unpleasant smell that nothing can be done about. They don't even give you a blanket - sleep under a sheet. It's cold at night, so stock up on socks or you'll catch a cold. There is no hot water
There is no hair dryer. There is no iron. All plumbing is covered with a century-old layer of plaque. They didn't do any cleaning, just made the bed.
At the end of the holiday, they completely stopped leaving towels for the feet.
There were three of us - slept in 1.5 beds. Sleeping together on such a small bed is still a pleasure.
The food is 1/10. For the fruit was in the truest sense of the word a fight. They take out on trays in very small quantities, and in 10 seconds they are simply taken apart.
Passion fruit green, carambola green, melon green. This is impossible. 1 time managed to snatch a mango - it's fire.
Papaya is extremely rare, but delicious.
Seafood - forget it. They are not here as well as fruits)
Ration is the same. Every day is the same. I didn’t get any pleasure from eating, I satisfied my hunger - no more.

Beach. The sea is beautiful, warm, clean. Perfect sand, smooth entry into the water, no waves at all. BUT! I have never been on a bed. Because there are no free ones. People are like animals, occupy sunbeds, mark them, leave things and hang out on them all vacation. It is not right. Everything should be free at night. We came at 3:00 am to check cleanly - everything was busy))))) Therefore, take your sunbeds for the beach.

And now about the attitude of the staff: 0/10!! ! The staff doesn't care about you or your problems. They know their faults and refuse to fix them. We were scandalously moved to a room with hot water only 2 days before the end of the holiday. The receptionist can simply stand in front of your nose and leave, leaving you alone with the problem. And so every day.
They refer to the lack of free rooms (open a booking with them and prove the opposite), or to the fact that you arrived at the wrong time, it’s too late to move you (again, open the booking, it says check-in from 15:00).

The hotel is cheap, Pegasus brings tourists from Russia by plane. This hotel is 98% Russian, you have to be prepared for this, as in a local boarding house. About 500 people came with us at the same time, with such a mass character and the service is appropriate: the sunbeds are occupied from 5 am (for info - dawn at 7 am), the sunbeds are dirty and torn; did not have time to eat in the first half hour of breakfast, lunch or dinner - there will be no glasses and cups for tea, only disposable cups; all drinks are in plastic, do not expect glasses; the tables are also clean only at the beginning, then just eat in the trash; the rooms are old (year of construction 1937), there is no hair dryer, no kettle, no mini-bar in the rooms, although Pegasus declares on the website that they are available, upon meeting they immediately announce that this will all be only in the Beach rooms, and there is nothing like this in of all Garden rooms simply because there is not enough power of electricity, even with light and water there are constant problems. … More ▾ The hotel is cheap, Pegasus brings tourists from Russia by plane.

Plumbing is also old, dirty, works periodically.
From a good beach with fine sand, the territory is large, the pictures in the pictures are beautiful. Representatives of Pegasus frankly brush aside all claims, they are only engaged in selling excursions, they answered the claim to provide a room with a hairdryer, they answered that there would be a hairdryer only if we buy an excursion from them (Pavel), it is impossible to change the room here, the mentality of the hotel staff is complete indifference and with such support from Pegasus it spoils the whole impression of the rest and the country as a whole. It is clear that we saved money, but I did not ask for anything that I would not pay for, Pegasus earns normally, and they do not care that they are deceiving customers at the same time.

I chose the hotel myself, it was the lowest in the price category among the options provided. I knew there would be inconvenience, but I didn't know it would be to this extent. I have very big complaints about the hotel. But let's start with the good. The food is excellent, the staff except the reception is good, the service in the restaurant is excellent, the location is convenient, and now about the bad about the sore. … More ▾ I chose the hotel myself, it was the lowest in the price category among the options provided.

The room had mold 1 cm high near the bed. There was no hot water, my child was squealing from cold water and no one wanted to change my number at the beginning, but when I got my room changed, they gave me the keys and when I entered the room I see that there are other people's bags. They gave another room again, but on the second floor, and we have a small child with a stroller, we go in, and there is no water in the sink, but there is in the shower. The hotel is large, 3 complexes are more expensive, medium and cheap, there are 20 umbrellas on the beach, people take places already at 4 in the morning. The sea is of course amazing and I'm glad that I chose this particular coast, the sea is quite warm, beautiful sand for a child. If only the sea is important to you - YES, if human existence is important - NO.

We bought a tour on the website zaputevkoy. rf a couple of days before departure and went to the Dominican Republic. We arrived at the hotel at 21h Dominican time. They settled us quickly, even managed to go to dinner. Beautiful, clean, well-groomed territory, the beach has white sand and clear blue water. … More ▾ We bought a tour on the website zaputevkoy. rf a couple of days before departure and went to the Dominican Republic. We arrived at the hotel at 21h Dominican time. They settled us quickly, even managed to go to dinner. Beautiful, clean, well-groomed territory, the beach has white sand and clear blue water. Right on the beach there is a snack bar where you can eat french fries and various cheeseburgers, hamburgers, and a bar with drinks. Whatever you ask, they will pour you: at least rum, at least cocktails, alcoholic and without. But the numbers are not so hot. Something turned out to be broken for everyone: either the kettle did not work, then the TV, then the shower, then the air conditioner. There were no happy people in the numbers, but the workers come, the malfunctions are eliminated from the third time. We were the luckiest of all: everything worked for us, there was hot water, and there were Russian-language channels. True, the windows overlooked the construction site, and from the balcony to the building under construction 15m. Well, we did not change the number (we had 1945), having heard enough how other vacationers settled. We deployed furniture on the balcony and the construction was left behind, and we got a beautiful view of the palm trees. SUPER food! 3 times a day buffet. Lots of everything, delicious. 5 pieces of European side dishes + exotic dishes, seafood, meat, fish cooked in different ways (in sauce, grilled, steaks, baked), a variety of pastries, cakes, fruits, desserts, pizzas... In general, I wanted to try everything, they took a little bit, but ate themselves to satiety))) When they were dissatisfied with the food, I wanted to ask: "What do you EAT at home? " - but education did not allow. Cleaning and change of linen was carried out every day, tea, coffee, lemonade, gel, shampoo - everything was brought, regardless of the tip. The staff is smiling and friendly. We included trips to a la carte restaurants. Ridiculous! There are the same dishes as in the dining room, only decorated beautifully and you have to wait until they are served. We went to French and Mexican, realized that there was nothing special to do there, and refused to go to Italian and Brazilian)))
And I really didn't like the tour. They are expensive, it takes a long time to go, they didn’t see anything interesting. I didn't have to leave the hotel. In general, we are satisfied with the hotel and the rest. As a beach holiday, very SUPER!

We were in this hotel for the third time, and like in previous visits, I really liked everything))))) The rooms are really old, but you don’t eat in the room to sit and watch TV, but enjoy the sea and catch the positive))) )) The territory is very beautiful, green, well-groomed, there is a special asphalt track for running. … More ▾ We were in this hotel for the third time, and like in previous visits, I really liked everything))))) The rooms are really old, but you don’t eat in the room to sit and watch TV, but enjoy the sea and catch the positive))) ))
The territory is very beautiful, green, well-groomed, there is a special asphalt track for running. The food is amazing, you won't leave hungry : )
What I especially want to note is excellent animation, both for children and adults))))) Special thanks to Jamie (Yeimi), she is just super, my daughter is crazy about her))))) Also, all the other guys are great, everyone friendly, helpful and cheerful)))) The atmosphere that reigns in this hotel is simply magical, the Dominicans are very friendly and cheerful people))))
Do not believe the negative reviews, the main thing is the vibe! Relax, chat, enjoy the sea, the sun and fun)))))
This hotel is just perfect for families with children, the sea is calm, not deep and insanely warm)))) But young people will not be bored either: there are various competitions, entertainment, dances all day long, and at night there is a nightclub on the territory of the hotel)))) )
In general, with pleasure I will return to this hotel again, we just fell in love with this place)))))))))

The overall impression is a four-star holiday : )
Now about everything in more detail:
The flight by Orenburg Airlines on a Boeing 777-200 went wonderfully, at the airport they sold beautiful seats in the aircraft cabin for 4000 rubles. Flight 12 hours, fed twice - I didn’t like the food (there), only water, tea, coffee from drinks. Juices, cola, etc. squeezed, they didn’t give candy before the flight)))
Upon arrival at the airport, an individual transfer was waiting for us (in Moscow they paid $ 220, you could also find it for $ 150 from Moscow, but not through a tour operator). Individual transfer for two (I recommend) - a minibus for 9 seats with air conditioning and a singing driver))) We drove for two and a half hours, stopping at will for a smoke break. Those who were traveling by bus (group transfer) arrived three hours later, because. stopped by other hotels and lost some passenger on the way or something like that. They placed us quickly, in an average, but more or less tidy room in my opinion (30 meters room, combined bathroom, air conditioning, double bed, table, chair, TV set, drip coffee machine, balcony with chair and table). For this pleasure, $ 50 was invested in the hand of the host, as it turned out, this is not too much))). The neighbors on the plane refused to take $ 30 and gave a worse room, it seems without a coffee machine and a door to the toilet. The garden rooms are of course much worse than the beach!! ! We checked in in the evening so we decided to leave the acquaintance with the hotel in the morning. Dinner (in general food) is a normal "Egyptian" four, but somehow more tasty, high quality and comfortable. Immediately about ala carte - the same canteen, but in silence and with personal service. Restaurants on the street - lunch with a lobster (frozen) side dish and wine by the beach $ 230, in a city on the coast $ 110, despite the fact that you choose a live lobster yourself.
Why are we here: the sea is always quiet, not deep (but just right for swimming), the sun is available, hot, bright from 7 am to 6 pm, when there are clouds you can rest))), the beach is white fine sand, quiet war for sun loungers under umbrellas (they occupy from 4 in the morning, then they look for their things left in prestigious places).
The pool in the garden is clean, well maintained, there are always free sunbeds, a bar, a comfortable water temperature. Beach Pool - everything is the same as in the garden, only the water is muddy because of the heaps of those who want to swim (wash off the sand, oils, creams for and from sunburn).
How to spend your money in the Dominican Republic?
Everything is very simple))) at every step a shop is waiting for you, languishing with the desire to rip off a triple price from you (actually two, three prices), so first we go to the Ole supermarket (you can find it on the Google map, walk 5-7 min) we look at the prices, we buy what you need (as a rule, there is everything that a tourist needs), but what we didn’t find, we buy in shops (not only because of the economy, the quality on the street also varies greatly) Souvenirs at the hotel: in shops - expensive and high quality, from hawkers - very expensive and not always of high quality (do not recommend at all).
A separate topic - excursions!
Old town, waterfalls, caves, islands and beaches, cigar and chocolate factory.
The hotel has three options to go on an excursion (I’m talking about the same excursion tour as an example):
1) an excursion from a tour operator - expensive $ 140, the quality is above average, there is an excursion program.
As a rule, a whole bus rides, collecting tourists from different hotels, it takes a lot of time, fun, comfortable, but very large groups (misunderstandings happen - operator
sold the tour, on this his mission is completed, and then you go at the discretion of the guide, who leads the tour in a language other than yours, asks for additional payment for traveling on a horse, motor boat, catamaran, etc. , gallops through places where you would like stop and stop where it is profitable and convenient for him, for example, stores where you will certainly find an exclusive, but remember that the guide gets a good percentage of your purchases, and not to let him earn money is our task (feel free to reduce the price by two, three times, if it doesn’t work, turn around and head to the exit, it’s either cheaper at home or you simply won’t need it). A personal example is a baseball cap with the symbols of the Dominican Republic, it was sold for $45, the high quality of the product was described, etc. , in a store not far from the hotel the cost is $15-20, and with a discount of $7.5 : -).
There are many nuances - I do not know everything.
2) excursion from Pedro - his booth is located on the border of the city beach and the hotel beach, they ask for $ 60-75 for a similar excursion, each approach is individual. Anything can be expected from Pedro, since the obligations to you are blurred due to the difference between your and his understanding of quality rest.
The guide's language is mixed, English - Spanish, the tour program simply does not exist - the guide will tell you everything he knows (as a rule, knowledge is limited, but the desire to communicate and earn is huge : )) Less comfortable buses than the tour operator, but also smaller groups, and collect in hotels these groups are easier. And then the main program and the same "glass beads" exorbitantly)))). I'm not against the fact that they earn, and we spend, it's just that everyone chooses a game for themselves, here I just comment on my observations.
3) trips with Lyudmila and her Husband Mario $ 100 (I chose this option as the most comfortable for myself, I also learned about them from the Internet and just walked up to the beach, I regret not at the beginning of the holiday), finding them is no more difficult than Pedro , as a rule, they are always on the territory of the hotel, they live there in the apartments on the third floor, you can recognize them by the inflatable ring “pink pelican or flamingo” with which they bathe with their daughter. They themselves do not run along the beach and do not advertise themselves. They carry 2-4 people in their own new minivan. Excursions in Russian Spanish and Italian, depending on the tourists. When we met, I learned a lot about prices, restaurants, shops, and opportunities to spend your vacation more comfortably, if you decide to go to the city and they have time, ask Lyudmila to go with you, she bargains well with the locals. Or just ask where is the best place to go. She does not refuse communication - it's free)))), in short, get to know each other, understand everything yourself.
Alcohol in the hotel: the quality is average, but at a normal level, the bar list consists of about 15 cocktails plus separately different ingredients, wine and beer, as well as Mamajuana - a local drink (for an amateur, not very much in the hotel).
Outside the hotel, everyday life of the Dominican Republic awaits you - ugly houses and shops of merchants with the same "beads", a bunch of mopeds and all sorts of pestering, small cafes and an Orange mobile and Internet operator (3Gb mobile Internet for 7 days costs $ 8 (325 pesos ), but you need a passport! )
