Все на высшем уровне All at the highest level

So far, the memories are fresh from the trip, although I would like to share my impressions about the past vacation in the Dominican Republic. We rested at the Grand Palladium Bavaro hotel, this is one of the best hotels in a huge resort complex on the famous Bavaro beach, the beach is famous for its cleanest water, the relative absence of algae, white sand, in a word, if you think of the Dominican Republic, imagine a classic Caribbean picture, then choose the beach Bavaro. The hotel is not just big, but huge, even hikers like us gave up on the third day and started using special shuttles to move around the territory (it’s impossible to get around even in an hour). We lived in a Master Junior Suites room, which, by the way, most of it is a class slightly higher than the usual standard room with a balcony, a large room with a bed, a sofa for relaxing, armchairs, a large TV and a minibar. The interior is designed in bright colors, but pleasing to the eye, the room is quite juicy. Since the territory is huge, early in the morning you need to either go straight to the beach or take a place by the pool, where there is more shade. The active Dominican sun in this sense does not spare anyone. By the way, be sure to purchase local protection, and with the highest degree of protection. In the Dominican Republic, I got burned for the first time, although I always thought that my skin was maximally adapted to the sun's rays. If you go to the beach, it is better to do it early in the morning. The fact is that after 10 am, active migration of vacationers from neighboring hotels begins (both from our complex and from everyone nearby) and it becomes not very comfortable. The lack of a private beach is definitely a minus. We especially felt the atmosphere of solitude subtly when we took excursions with visits to private beaches (for example, 2 bananas in the Dominican Republic have such ones, I don’t know about other agencies, I didn’t look). If you are looking for an atmosphere of unity, then, in principle, you can find it by the far pool, which is located in the Palace section (at least, on our arrival there was almost always not crowded). Animation in the hotel is at a good level. Especially for children. The hotel, by the way, in my experienced opinion, is perfect for this, there are many families with small children (mostly Americans). There are no separate areas for bathing children, each of the 4 pools has a children's tank (like an appendix), but this does not bother anyone at all. Animation for adults arranges interesting programs by the pools and in the lobby (in the same place as the reception), plus you can have a good time there before dinner with a big company. As for food, gourmets definitely need to go here, because I have never seen such an abundance of different thematic food outlets anywhere else. The tourist flow is large and, accordingly, you need to please everyone. We rested at the hotel for 9 days (the last day we already flew away in the afternoon, so a full 8 days) and went to an a la carte restaurant every evening, and only by the end of the vacation we realized that we had never repeated ourselves in choosing a place and did not have time to get around everything! Big praise to the chefs of this complex!
