Райский остров!! Paradise Island!!

The hotel is very good!! ! Quiet, calm, romantic....For those who want to immerse themselves in the nature of the tropics. Everything is made from natural materials, wicker chairs, even leather bracelets =)
If you need a noisy crowd, a disco, marble floors and chic, then you are definitely not here! There are no discos in the hotel! There are interesting evening programs.
It’s good to go to this hotel with a family or a couple ...There are many children, there is a special entertainment area for them ...and you can’t hear them at all ...
You need to go on vacation with a positive attitude and not expect that everyone around you will lick you for your money, this will not happen.
There is no need to spoil your mood by the fact that the waiters do not run at the first call and do not carry the order in a minute . . I think no one will fall off anything to go and take it yourself ...or wait patiently. Because Dominicans are sooooo slow..

if you are told to wait 5 minutes, add 20 to them =) They are like that and you don’t need to try to remake them in 2 weeks of your stay ...
The hotel is surrounded by greenery, ponds, many beautiful bridges, everyone takes a bun in the restaurant and feeds fish and birds ....there is a flock of flamingos ...
The beach is very large, in the evening after 6, when the sun sets and people come out of the water, small stingrays come to the shore, once they saw a snake ...they are all safe for humans. Of course, you do not need to try to grab the stingray by the tail, so as not to be left with a spike in the palm of your hand. Our tourists have an inquisitive mind, some have tried.
The food is very tasty!!!! ! In the main restaurant La Cana! Another good fish restaurant, steak and Italian are not very good, mostly tastier, but it's worth going to see =)

Before the trip, I read a lot about this hotel, ours mostly write badly ...foreigners are very good ...I don’t understand why ...apparently it depends on who is going for what . . Someone to relax, someone to spoil yourself mood.
We lived on the first floor next to the ocean, we liked everything, there were no ants, as someone wrote, etc. in the room. They clean every day, everything is clean, they fill the minibar. They clean regardless of how much they leave a tip or not leave at all.
The bar on the way to the beach is always cool, delicious cocktails!!! ! you need to try everything, Pina Collada, Cuba Libre, Bananamama, Natura Park =) only Margarita is not tasty =))
On the beach, sometimes they make a delicious mix: in a large frying pan like pilaf, only + mussels, shrimp and other seafood. Delicious! The queue is building =)

Mostly everyone speaks Spanish, some know English, but not all...It's better to learn a couple of words in advance like: thank you-please, they really love it when they speak Spanish to them!!

Not far from the hotel is Animal Adventure Park, with a basic knowledge of English, you can go there on foot, walk for 10-15 minutes..

If you go in a group, then after a couple of hours they are kicked out to the bus, if you yourself, you can spend a lot of time there, swim with dolphins - I advise everyone !!!! ! It is better to choose the Explorer program. Meet the nurse shark and stingray, they are really big!!!!!!! ! Watch the show of fur seals, white tiger, he is very beautiful =)

We took excursions to the island of Saona in the Caribbean and to the capital of Santo Domingo, if the guide is good, you will like it very much ! ! We went from Natalie Tours, the guide - Zhanna - she is amazing, I was not so interested in any historical excursion!!!!!!

Yes, flying with Transaero is not as bad as they say everywhere! ! the main thing is to ask for places on the second floor!

In general, it is very cool there, I would return to the Dominican Republic again =)
The main thing when going on vacation is to rest in a good mood !!!
Good luck to all!! !
