Pros - large, beautiful area. Lots of bars and restaurants. Nice room (for size). Strange, but no mosquitoes. . . And then solid cons, Terrible pandemonium at registration. Royal service - it's easier here, then you need to put up with the same disadvantages + distance to the beach and restaurants! The number is a four, but all plumbing is American Standard, Europeans do not understand how this rarity works, and why it still works at all! All problems are solved by phone, but you need to call often and a lot. . . Called 4 times for extra towels and safe until issues were resolved. . . There is no soundproofing as such. The beds are terrible, wobbly, the pillows are wadded (therefore, when buying a Royal Service, they emphasize to you that you can choose pillows! ) Then there is a small (by Dominican standards) beach, you need to take an umbrella at 7, and then a crazy American woman will pester that this is her place ! The sea is not that azure color, why I haven’t understood yet! They go pestering something to offer, though from afar, but loudly and persistently. Pools - yes, big, with lots of greenery, fun, but not very well maintained and poorly cleaned. There is a lot of gentle walking, but this is not a big minus, just given the large amount of greenery, there is almost no wind, so it is very hot! Movement around the hotel is like on an autobahn! Engines (which stink so much of diesel fuel that it’s terrible! And smoking on them while driving is not prohibited. Therefore, there is little buzz for children from trips - just brush off the smoke! ), Carriages for transporting Royal Service (they also stink), trucks that carry suitcases, linen, personnel, mopeds, motorcycles. . . The road is not divided for pedestrians and vehicles, so keep your eyes peeled! Breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for us, and it is very poor here. . . True, you can have a snack throughout the day, but this is if you like hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries. NO FRESH JUICES!! ! Never! One chemistry. . . There are few fruits. Lunch and dinner are ok, but no more fruit and no more variety. The Internet does not work throughout the territory, but costs like an airplane! In short, she moved from Bavaro Palace (Suites) and regretted it, there are lobsters and fresh juices, and empty. . . And then the fairy tale did not work! The hotel is not worth it no matter how it positions itself! Four stars, by Turkish standards, the maximum! Want to check.
