Hotel ratings by criteria:
Flight from Ukraine +/- 12-13 hours (departure was at 6 am and arrival at 18:30 Ukrainian and 11:30 local time difference of 7 hours).
1) Get light suitcases in advance! We had a flight with Azur Air - a valid suitcase of 15 kg. It will not be easy for such Young Ladies like my wife, as they will have to leave most of their wardrobe at home.
2) We were fed twice on board. First time: roll + butter + salad + cake + garnish + meat (food as on board) + water (unlimited) + second time per flight: roll + butter + cake + ham + juice 200 ml.
3) We brought a lot of snacks with us - we constantly want to chew)
4) Download music, movies, cartoons for kids!
5) Patience and only patience! You can walk on the plane, stand - it helps!
6) For those who fly with children (like us), think about what you will do with the kids: toys, educational games, drawings, cartoons ...anything! Everything will help you! Believe in the word!
7) It can be both cold and hot on board!

Therefore, take care of things in two cases (we flew in sports suits). They took a blanket for the baby.
8) When flying back, the packing of a suitcase is 10 dollars. Therefore, it is better to cover a suitcase with its own layout for the same money, which obviously lasts longer!
9) Tests upon arrival were taken to the lab. Adonis (AP Boryspil, 2nd floor, after checking in the luggage, 690 UAH, the results came on the same day and self-isolation was automatically lifted).

IMPORTANT!
All meals are removed upon arrival. ALL!
Frankly, we were lucky (but I think that this is precisely because we had a little on our hands)! None of our food was taken! All gerberas, agushi, etc. Everything is left in our hands. Everyone who was nearby (ALL! ) threw everything into the trash.

Upon arrival, we realized that the country (nation) is very welcoming.
We were taken to the control without a queue (and another couple also with a baby). Everyone smiles and it's sincere! Everything is in the details ...O--- lyayay! It's a thrill)

* Transfer to the hotel 40-50 min.
The bus is cool (new really solid.
With leather chairs, air conditioners and portable usb ports for charging)

IMPORTANT!
Check-in at the Dominican Republic hotel from 15:00!
But we were settled immediately: we previously wrote a letter to the hotel post office.
The room is good. Nenov (for example, scuffs on the walls of the bed, but these are details) everything else is cool. And the ocean side view is babble!

*Nation: Live on Tranquila, don't rush anywhere! And I advise you to go into this rhythm, then the rest will be successful!

*Hotel area: really good! Green! Lots of palm trees and other plantings. In my opinion, sufficient for walking with a stroller! (so for everything else too).

Clean, everything is licked, marmur polished. Decent lobby!
Now the hotel on weekdays is filled + - by 30-40%. In my opinion, the huge thing is that from Fri. on Sun. rest of the locals. They are very polite, friendly, interesting, positive, it's really cool with them!
On the territory of the hotel there is an artificial pool in which fish and turtles swim.

Walking white herons (local), at first they thought that they were artificial, so beautiful)

*The beach is the pride of the hotel!
For the first time in my life I met with the fact that the sand is not heated under the sun! Snow-white and small, like torment! Beach with palm trees, huge. Now there are a lot of free sunbeds. I don't know how it will be when the hotel is 100% full. One minus - there is no cover on the beach (umbrellas). Palm trees don't help much. And it is worth taking sun protection from 70! We never knew we could burn. It turns out that this can happen to us. The sun is very gentle, and as a result, some people get very serious burns. And if you think that this will not affect you, you are mistaken! The richest person in the hotel is the doctor. Just measure the temperature - 100 bucks) Apply only through the insurance!

*Hotel guests: USA, Ukraine, UK, Dominican Republic.
*The hotel has the ROYAL concept.
People live in separate buildings, they can eat in a separate restaurant and a separate bar on the beach and part of the beach. What exactly is included in drinks and food - I will not say.

*Nutrition:
Main restaurant, next to the reception. Breakfast lunch dinner.
Not for picky travelers!
And, perhaps, it will not be easy for someone with small children.
Pastries + -10 types, grilled meat 1 type, grilled fish 1 type (they say Dorada, I'm not sure, but very tasty), vegetables, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce (but some, tasteless). Sweets +-10 kinds. Two types of yoghurts per pack.
Rice, beef stew, chicken, goat, broccoli, col. Cabbage.
Not a wide choice, but I think it's ok.

Fruit is a different story!
Mango, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, melon, banana, passion fruit and their cocktails (with milk) are prepared in front of you. It's just heavenly delight!

*5 A la Carte restaurants. (there is no preliminary reservation of fights and queues! You can visit at least daily. There are no restrictions)
The seafood restaurant is closed (refer to code)
Italian - highly recommend salmon. Romantic setting

Mexican - I did not enter. Colorful, but not my food. Real Mexico!
Asian - for me there was nothing tasty.
Steak House - mega delicious pork ribs, fish steak, beef tenderloin and salmon! (Godly! ) Feels like you're on a ranch in Colorado)

On Saturday, paella is cooked on the beach - it's just a masterpiece) Not so much the taste as the process itself and the look) On Tuesday and Thursday, salmon and shrimp in the main restaurant.

You can have a snack during the day in the restaurant by the pool: burgers, fries, hot dogs.

* TIME: we took the advice of our local guide and adapted from day one! It is very important! Go to bed at 21-22:00 local time. No matter how hard it is for you! And after a couple of days, you will no longer feel the difference. Your body will get used to it! Upon returning to Ukraine - the same story.
*Bars/drinks: Lobby bar, Pool bar next to A la Carte, Pool bar next to the ocean (and used by those on the beach).
*MASKS: masks on the plane, at the reception upon check-in, in restaurants when moving around the hall and when ordering. , at bars, when ordering - required. The rest of the time is optional.

*Animation: lively, fun, daily competitions on the beach with prizes (a pack of coffee, a bottle of rum as a gift to the winners). Pool games, aerobics, stretching…

*Weather: because it gives us a weather forecast or a hysmeteo, you should not believe it. We have seen rain all the time, only twice at night. And that is very easy. The forecasts included showers and thunderstorms.

Life in the Dominican Republic is a real paradise for the eyes and soul. Peace and pleasure are guaranteed!

A video review of the hotel was made by my daughter - see for yourself)
If I missed something - sorry.
There will be questions - write, I will be happy to answer; )

P. S. : Were at the Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort & Spa.
Very nice green space!
The food is identical to ours.

The difference from other hotels: coniferous trees grow on the territory (very green) (lush and create additional shade, but cones fall from them, which prick at the feet on the beach (not cardinally)), flamingos, peacocks walk, parrots fly!
