Как же мне тебя не хватает, горячая Доминикана! How I miss you, hot Dominican Republic!

Rested at the Grand Palladium Bavaro Resort Spa & Casino in April 2009, together with her husband. As usual, I bought plane tickets myself from Air France, the price and quality of service were quite satisfactory, the flight went perfectly. The hotel was booked through a friend of mine already on vacation on the island. Bali travel agency "Travel! ". As practice has shown, the managers there are not at all bad and this hotel was chosen by common efforts, which I did not regret for a second. The hotel itself is a complex of buildings, restaurants, cafes and entertainment facilities, and even combined with three other hotels in its group, the territory of two of them Grand Palladium Punta Cana and Grand Palladium Palace, are fully accessible to those living in the Grand Palladium Bavaro and in general there are no borders have. In my hotel, the buildings were two-story, with 8 rooms, all rooms with balconies, large, I had a simple deluxe room, a bathroom combined, which is not very convenient. There were no special complaints about the cleaning of the room, except that the towels sometimes came across a little grayish. The room had a TV (Russian channel for money), an electronic safe, a hairdryer, an iron with a board, a mini-bar, a coffee machine, Internet access (for a fee), plumbing is not new, but everything worked quite well. On the common territory there are 4 large good pools, all with "wet" bars, the bars themselves on the territory of the hotel, including the beach, cannot be counted. My husband and I liked the drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, always and everywhere were in abundance. In general, food in this hotel is just a problem - in the sense it is impossible to resist how much everything is and how delicious everything is, I want to try it. I still suffer because of the extra 2-3 kg brought from there! Dancing with cheerful animators did not help either. There are 11 restaurants on the territory, we visited almost all of them and liked them all very much, especially Mexican, Asian, Brazilian, Japanese, well, everything is impossible to list. Only the Germans spoiled the impression a little with their indefatigable noise. For breakfast, we constantly went to the main restaurant of the Cathedral, there is an unimaginable buffet. There is everything! And everything is cooked with soul, interesting and tasty. . I can’t tell you anything new about the beach - it is GREAT, INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL!! ! Just look at the photos of eyewitnesses. One problem is the beds. Enterprising Germans occupy them at dawn (the time difference helps them get up early). I had to take turns with my husband to take them at dawn, otherwise I would have to melt in the heat. And the sun is not a joke there - complete burning in 3-4 minutes. Although there were such fans there, all in oil lay naked on the beach all day. By the way, topless sunbathing is the norm for the Dominican Republic. But the Atlantic Ocean is still more beautiful than all these uninvited nymphs - I have not seen such a play of colors anywhere, even on about. Bali. Although comparing the two resorts is not very easy, each has its pros and cons. On about. Bali is only an ebb tide, but it is easy to get along in peace with it. But in the Dominican Republic it is impossible to leave the hotel - there is no dirt around, shopping and cultural attractions at all. And this is much worse in my opinion. And yet, after three months from this vacation, returning from European Nice - How I miss you, hot Dominican Republic!
