Турция отдыхает! Turkey is resting!

Involuntarily I will compare with the notorious Turkey, I'm sorry. In Turkey, I was 6 times in the elite fives and simpler. So, my review will be objective. Dominican Republic is a wonderful place!
Flight.
Thought it would be terrible. Oddly enough, I wasn’t even particularly tired (premium class, I managed to sleep well). It took 3 hours to fly to Turkey - for some reason I got more tired, I got out of the plane all boiled. Read important information regarding the flight at the end of the review.
Territory - chic - ennobled tropical forest. At first it seemed terribly big, then they got used to it and even walked to the beach. The train that circulates around the area is very cute. We sat down and went where you need - no problems in movement.
Livestock - on the territory of tame peacocks, flamingos, geese, ducks. They eat from their hands. For cat lovers - there are 2 affectionate cats on the territory.

The food is better than in Turkey for sure. More varied and tastier. In the morning, 3 freshly squeezed juices (someone wrote that 10, but we probably were out of season) - papaya or watermelon, orange and pineapple. Lots of delicious meat and seafood. Very tasty pizza (3-4 types). 3 main restaurants - 2 on the beach, 1 closer to the reception.
Restaurants a la carte - appointment by phone; no problem with recording. I liked it everywhere - in French, Capri (with seafood), in Dominican (very cozy), in American (they give huge pieces of meat; it’s clear why Americans are so fat), in Japanese (it’s a must there - the chef does a show there), and Thai - very tasty, but it is impossible to eat, very spicy (for an amateur, of course). Didn't make it to Italian. We didn’t go to Mexican out of principle (we can’t tolerate the cuisine).
Room - were in the Tropical area - chic, very modern. In the Caribbean zone - in retro style. Ask in the Tropical area.
In general, the whole hotel is like a needle - nothing to complain about, everything is licked.
Cleaning - in one room with a soul - and flowers and towels will wrap up beautifully (without a tip), then they moved to another room - cleaning is worse there (just a human factor). But still no complaints.
Mosquitoes - did not torment
Service is a whole other issue. In Turkey, even in the elite fives, you can do self-service, because you can wait a long time for a waiter. Here we are completely spoiled. As soon as you enter a restaurant, a waiter is already beside you. pours some water, asks what else to bring you (from drinks). As soon as you finish your last spoonful, the dirty plate disappears in an instant. During the meal, they come up several times, add wine or ask if you need anything, and after swallowing the last piece, the waiter is nearby and asks “would you like a coffee”.

By the way, there was no safe in the room. After contacting the reception, the repairman came to the room before I got there. Fixed everything in a moment. We decided to change the room - no problem, no surcharges, we also set our own conditions - 2nd floor, separate beds - changed unconditionally. And the room did not like (in the Caribbean area). Again at the reception - they changed it to the Tropical zone (again without additional payments and problems_). I don’t know who wrote about lazy Dominicans and the merengue style there - they work there like bees. Half of the female staff is pregnant
Spa - free jacuzzi and sauna. Small but cozy. I took a body wrap and aroma massage. Nothing amazing, but nice. ATTENTION! After the spa, I discovered that I HAVE A 20% DISCOUNT ON THE PROCEDURES FROM THE SOUTHERN CROSS, And this is a lot. But it was already too late to rush about. LOOK AT YOUR DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY!
Dominicans
Men - here you will not find unhealthy attention and Turkish rudeness. Very delicate and polite. They make a nice addition. No arrogance will be allowed. Probably because a lot of American women - just a little bit - are sued for sexual harassment.
The contingent is Russians, Dominicans and Americans. Few Germans, few French. Americans are always laughing at the top of their voices, very noisy. Lots of McDonalds victims. The Germans, as always, blow their noses loudly in restaurants. The French are quiet and intelligent.
The beach is beautiful. After the rain, the water is dirty, we didn’t even climb there. Then the water cleared up. The coast is shallow. Just right for the kids.
Weather - I don’t know who wrote about the terrible humidity there. In Turkey, summer is really like a bath. In November it is very comfortable here. And they never fell asleep. Well tolerated. It rained for 1.5 days.
Souvenirs - a shopping center - acceptable, shops on the beach - even cheaper if you stand facing the ocean and walk 10 minutes to the right - there will be a market where everything is the same for a ridiculous price. Unfortunately, I bought a lot of things on the beach. Then I came to this market, and there. what cost 15 dollars costs 5. Yes, they will even give a discount.
ATTENTION! READ THIS IS MANDATORY!

We bought premium round-trip tickets from Transaero ($300 extra for economy per person). We flew there in excellent chairs, stretching out our legs, in complete relaxation. Somewhere outside of us, a scandal flared up - people paid for a premium, but flew in an economy class (like there weren’t enough seats for everyone). We got ourselves back into this situation. They put me in economy. Armchairs like in a tram, knees resting on a nearby chair. They demanded a representative of Transaero. A rare boor came, a certain Andrey. At first he said that the premium class is the same economy class, only the distance ahead is 3 cm more, then he said that the premium class salon is used as a business on Mon, Wed, and Friday, and as a premium on Thu and Sat. Then he said that there was no premium class in the Boeing 747-4oo at all (what did we overpay for then? _.... He was spinning like a frying pan. He put him in the economy and proved that it was a premium. However, he was given out by a simple stewardess - she said, that we really have economy seats, but there weren’t enough premium seats for everyone.
OUTPUT
1. You need to try to buy, of course, premium. It is inconvenient to fly in economy.
2. TO RECEIVE YOUR PREMIUM IN THE LINE FOR THE BOARDING PASS, YOU NEED TO BE IN THE FRONT ROWS, OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET NOTHING
3. IMPORTANT ADVICE _ - IF YOU HAVE BEEN PUT IN THE ECONOMY WITH YOUR PREMIUM TICKETS, AFTER CLOSING THE DOORS, LOOK INTO THE PREMIUM, THERE MAY BE FREE SEATS, QUIETLY SIT THERE WITH A DIFFERENT FACE AND REMEMBER _- YOU TAKE YOUR OWN! we did so on the way back! flew as we were supposed to according to the tickets.
4. TRANSAERO IS PROFITING _ SELLS MORE PREMIUM TICKETS THAN SEATS, AND THEN PEOPLE FLY LIKE SILENT MICE IN ECONOMY - “WHAT CAN YOU DO, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO FLY”
5. And about food - in premium and economy they are fed exactly the same. Almost inedible, but did not remain hungry. They feed 2 times. Back was Dominican food - very tasty.
6. DEPARTURE THERE WAS DELAYED FOR 9 hours. TRANSAERO ALLOCATED ON; 400 rubles per snout. I NOTE, SOUP 2 spoons COST 390 RUB PER PERSON, A SERVING OF PASTA 500 RUB AND ABOVE, SO TAKE RUBLES FOR EVERY FIRE OR YOU WILL HAVE 2 STRANGE-LOOKING HAMGURGERS FOR 180 RUB EACH.
