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!

Often they try to surprise with something - presentation, taste. The seafood restaurant is closed.
The beach is magnificent - large and clean, but there are often waves, but this did not interfere with swimming every day, many sellers of everything from massages to hats walk along the beach. On the first day, they "got drunk" for $ 120)) then they learned not to buy everything in a row)
Sooo many locals come to the hotel on weekends, these days it is difficult to get near the pool, the restaurant also becomes noticeably crowded, it is also unrealistic to get into a la carte these days.
The staff is attentive to requests and responds quickly.
There are a lot of mosquitoes, without funds from them it is difficult.
In general, we are very satisfied, we don’t want to go home, but we need to)

If you don't care about service, you can go here. The territory is large, green, many pools.

But for sockets you need an adapter; it’s cheaper to buy it in a Russian store on the beach, and indeed the prices there are very pleasant. Internet is paid and expensive. It is better to take a SIM card locally. The territory is large enough but not huge and you can easily walk from any room to the beach, restaurant and generally get anywhere in the hotel. Large cool pools with bars in the water. There is animation but we are not particularly interested in such events. The main thing is that no one drags you by the hand to participate) There are stalls where you can take board games such as monopoly for free, this will also help diversify your leisure time. There is big chess. Nice spa but it's paid. And quite expensive, but in fact so in almost all hotels. The main thing for us was at least the minimum availability of entertainment for the child in order to leave him at least for a while. There is a kids club. There is one teacher who looks after the children and takes them to a mini disco. . True, in Russian she does not particularly speak a few words. The club has toys, game consoles, a ball pool, a playground and a shallow pool for children. There are shade beds and it's calm. You can read while the baby is splashing. The club is open from 9 am to 6 pm. So that the child will be busy and you can pay attention to yourself. The food is good but no frills. There is a main restaurant and a la carte they are by appointment. If you have simple bracelets, then in addition to the main restaurant, five more a la carte are available for you. Very cool fish restaurant. There is no abundance of seafood there, but octopus shrimp is a fish. Asian alacarte is not very good. It's hard to even eat here. There are very small portions. But everything is atmospheric, the music has everything. I also recommend visiting the steakhouse there is very tasty. Large portions and cooked just right. There is also Italian and Mexican. In the snack bar by the pool, various sausages, chicken, french fries, fruits, etc. For those who want to eat at night, there is a pizzeria open from 6 pm to 6 am. There is also a bar where you can take alcohol and party until the morning) So there are no problems with food. Well, the main reason for going is the beach. Here I’ll deviate a little from the topic and I want to thank our travel agent Dmitry Kukin, he was just a great fellow, he literally took into account all our wishes for the hotel and the selection of the tour took a minimum of time, only fifteen minutes, and even gave a bunch of advice around the country on what to save money on. To contact him for those who need a good selection of the tour, look for him on the VKontakte social network by his last name. The beach itself is beautiful. No, they are quite small. There are no umbrellas on the beach, only palm trees. But in principle, you can always find a place in the shade. The sunbeds are modern and there are a lot of them. There is -Restoarn-Bar by the beach in the afternoon it works as a general restaurant and in the evening as a la cat. On the beach, you can take snorkel masks, a kayak or a sailing catamaran for free, but if you don’t have management skills, you will have to pay for a short training. In general, the main thing I listed everything to everyone a pleasant stay!

Justified 5 stars. Upon arrival, we were picked up by a transfer. We drove not for long, but managed to consider the local flavor. The country is poor and nondescript, but when you check into a hotel, it seems that you have entered a completely different world. A game of contrasts, but still.

We didn’t go to the pools, I don’t know how it is there and what. I did not see the point in swimming in it when there is a whole ocean. It is a duty of honor to warn everyone that the Internet in the hotel is lame. In the evening it is not at all, as there are a whole bunch of people. I needed to participate in a Skype conference, but it turned out to be impossible.
I was absolutely not satisfied with the prices for all kinds of excursions. Fortunately, they told us where there are domestic guides. They have something like a souvenir shop there and at the same time all kinds of excursions. To the left of the hotel, walk about five minutes. I asked passers-by, they understood by the language where I needed to go and showed me the way.
A huge plus is a gorgeous beach, sea, sun and all that. Another downside is the outdated rooms. You should not spend a lot of time in them, because you can feel like part of the native population.

I would definitely not recommend this hotel to my friends. Far from 5 *, solid 3. Lines in the main restaurant, line in the restaurant itself. A nightmare.

If you are Russian, the restaurant can simply ignore you. … More ▾ I would definitely not recommend this hotel to my friends. Far from 5 *, solid 3. Lines in the main restaurant, line in the restaurant itself. A nightmare. There is a lot of food, tasty, but monotonous, and on the 6th day you don’t want to look at it. If you are Russian, the restaurant can simply ignore you. The area is clean, the pool is very large, there is enough space for everyone. Dirty ocean (! ), strong wind from the ocean, but it is not felt on the territory of the hotel. The beach is clean, the algae is removed, where the sunbeds are located, the beach is dirty. No free wi-fi. Check-in and check-out went quickly. After registering at the hotel, we were given a room where people already lived, yes)))) we go in and there is a couple in bed, that's the norm. . . ))) . Cleaned on so-so, the towel was rarely changed, the sets in the bathroom were no longer reported, the bar was replenished with water, coffee, tea, sugar, cola, sprite, beer was put on the last day. The sockets matched our plugs. Animation on the beach is fun. It's boring in the evening. I also recommend taking light blouses, it's cool in the evening. We flew Azur, the flights were postponed, the food was normal, 2 times, the staff was good. Fly there 12 hours, return 11. The hotel has shops, a little expensive. There are Russian shops behind the barrier of the hotel and along the beach to the right for about 20 minutes, prices are cheaper there. If you go outside the hotel, be prepared that locals will come to you and take you shopping for a tip. From fruits, you can buy only pineapples, $ 2-3 pcs. , delicious. And yes, get ready for the horror at the airport. Very slow and exhaustingly long. From La Romana airport, drive to the hotel takes approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. On the way back from the hotel to the airport, you will be taken to a shop where you can buy souvenirs, rum, cigars, cosmetics, etc. Prices are about the same as everywhere else.

Everything is very slow, but successful. For a surcharge of $ 100 for the entire stay, we received a pleasant view from the room of the ocean. In the buildings on each floor there is an ice machine - very convenient.
Territory. Compact, green, there is a pond with turtles and herons. Clean, tidy, beautiful. Near the reception is the main restaurant, lobby bar, several shops. Around the main pool there are buildings, a la carte restaurants.
Number. Was on the 3rd floor. Clean, high ceilings, jacuzzi on the balcony, room and bathroom (with shower) are very spacious. The room has a coffee machine (coffee is replenished regularly as it is used), a minibar (2 beers, water, fanta, cola, juice), an umbrella (very important! ). Slippers + bathrobes. Air conditioning, hair dryer, TV - everything worked properly. Cleaning and change of towels every day.
Beach. Big, lots of sunbeds. It is always perfectly cleaned, unlike the nearby Palladium chain. However, as already mentioned, there are no umbrellas, and you can’t really hide in the shade of palm trees. There is a water entertainment center - some of the services are free, some are paid.
The ocean is beautiful, the color is luxurious. The waves were very strong, the sand sucked into the depths of the sea. If you are not good at swimming, it is better to spend time near the shore. The sand does not heat up, it is very fine, it is very difficult to wash it out of swimsuits. Near the beach there is a bar and a restaurant (you can have lunch, dinner, but the schedule of its work remained unsolved - it worked for several days, then it did not work).
Nutrition. The choice is not too big, but everything is enough, the food is very tasty. There is such a division into European, American and Spanish cuisines. There is always pizza, pasta, bacon, fries, hot dogs, sandwiches, for lunch and dinner - grilled meat and fish (you choose a piece, they fry in front of you), fruits (pineapple, papaya, melon, mango, watermelon), ice cream. In the morning there are fresh juices, pancakes with banana and chocolate. Water, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are brought by waiters. But you should be prepared for the fact that sometimes not the first time, and sometimes they don’t bring at all (they forget). It depends a lot on how busy the restaurant is. Good a la carte restaurants - Mexican, Italian, Japanese, sea, grill. Snacks - buffet + choice of dishes from the menu + there is a wine list (paid), free drinks are also available. A pizzeria is open at night (2nd floor near the amphitheater). I can’t tell much about alcohol, we only tried wine in restaurants, beer in a bar and non-alcoholic cocktails - pina colada, cubalibre (the most delicious in a bar near a pizzeria, 2nd floor, worse on the beach).
Compared with the Barcelo complex, the hotel is small and boring, there are no parties, a huge territory, a casino. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.
The host was Anex tour. The cost of excursions starts from $ 100 per person, the difference between local agencies is about $ 50 per person. It is worth visiting traditional excursions - Saona, Samana, you can Redonda (included in some excursions), an unforgettable experience from a helicopter flight (from $ 90 per person for a 10-minute flight).
If you face the ocean, then after walking along the beach to the right (along the Palladiums), for about 20 minutes, there will be a Russian Ola store, where you can buy a local SIM card - $ 4 for 5GB for 5 days, rum and souvenirs. The cost of everything is significantly lower than in the store at the hotel. Average prices: rum from $10 (good, local, not for export from $60), lip balms $5, cocoa butter $6, magnets $3-5.

Occidental Punta Cana Hotel
I want to say right away - I'm spoiled, therefore my understanding of how "should be" is quite clear. Despite what is written below, I want to say that I had a very cool rest, probably the best vacation I had. I give the hotel a solid 4ku, and this is not enough))
Let's start with criticism:
WiFi - no. But he is not needed. SIM card - $4 for 5 days and LTE throughout the Dominican Republic.
Service - 3 points
Keep in mind, when you finally get to your room, after an 11-18 hour flight with the only thought - to take a shower .....you will be very upset if you do not find towels in the room! After you find the staff and show your indignation on your fingers (the staff does not understand English), you will have to wait another 1-3 hours until the towels are brought to you. Don't get mad about it, just dry off with the orange beach towels provided in the room.
During the whole rest, you will find the loss of towels 3-4 more times - you come, the room is not cleaned, and one or two towels are missing.
This is not accurate, but I think if you leave a daily tip of $ 2, then the issue can be resolved. I stopped leaving tips when I started noticing missing towels.
I want to give credit to the dining room staff. The waiters are very attentive, they manage to bring everything, quite quickly. Administrators are friendly. I think if they are also tipped, then the service in the dining room can be generally excellent!
Nutrition - 4 points
The food is quite varied, but at the end of the holiday it becomes boring, as it is the same thing. In general, I will characterize the food as good, but there is no seafood at all. Problems with seafood, as it turned out, all over the island. If you find some kind of fish restaurant, it will turn out that the seafood is either poorly cooked, or the price tag is outrageous.
In short, eat seafood at home, in the Dominican Republic they are worse and more expensive, they are not available at the hotel.
Entertainment - 3 balls. Animation at the hotel Pts weak when compared with Turkey or Egypt, for example. Entertainment is limited to evening gatherings in the amphitheater and watching Latin dances, some kind of show program. As for me, all this is quite boring, for one or two.
The pool is great, no issues.
Location - 4 points, but only because it is the ocean, not the Caribbean. The sea is much more beautiful. If not this moment, then the location is quite good.
One thing struck me the most - and it's sad, as for me!
EVERYONE around you will be told horror stories, legends, true stories about Haitians, the poor local population, about the high level of crime, to the point that God forbid you end up in the city at night, God forbid you stop on the highway during the day, and so on. Don't listen - it's all bullshit.
And it's sad that the guides and employees of tour companies, in search of profit, discredit the image of the beautiful Dominican people and the country itself in the eyes of tourists.
I will tell you my experience of communicating with the local population.
I myself rented a car at a local establishment, ate chebureks in a cheburek on the street, went to night bars where only locals hang out, was CAM at a local guy’s house, in the blackest quarter of the Dominican Republic, rode around the city at night, was in a supermarket, played at the casino, etc. I am alive, healthy and very happy.
The first time we rented a car from a Russian company, they charged us $85 for the Hyundai Sonata and blocked $300 on the card as a deposit for a month. The second time we took a Kia Optima from a local for $ 50, a passport as a pledge. Everything went perfectly, although they were explained on the fingers. Savings - 40%!!!
First, we drove by car to nearby places, such as Macau beach, a mountain with a swing, some kind of park.
My wife and I really liked this format, but for comparison, we took one excursion, to the Samana Peninsula. Everything was cool, but we would have been much cooler ourselves, we decided. And the third excursion was organized by ourselves. By car we went to the crossing on about. Saona, there to trade from $200 to $120 for 4, we took the fastest boat, which took us to the place in 30 minutes, overtaking 4 catamarans with tourists. We swam in the middle of the sea in a shallow place dotted with starfish, watching how tourists do it a couple of kilometers away, standing in line of 20 people ....then we got to the beach "Bonita" - a truly heavenly place, where there was also practically no one. The pleasure is indescribable. Tip - do not take excursions, travel by yourself, in the Dominican Republic it is simple and cheaper!
One evening we ended up in a local karaoke disco bar "Rose", not far from the hotel, where local youth gathers. Asshole Latinas sing karaoke - you need to hear it.
Not the usual chanson or English language, but real live Latin American music - this atmosphere cannot be conveyed in words.
The first time I, a pale gringo, left the hotel, I was surrounded by local motorcycle bombers. Everyone has the same offer - taxi, coca, chica, marivanna ?? ? And you freeze one, the second one comes right behind him, and so on until everyone comes up ..... At first it was annoying, then, when I darkened, became familiar, they stopped coming up to me. It is important to understand that they do this not because they are criminals, but because they are!!!
Almost every janitor or building administrator will offer you a local service in a whisper - coke, chica, marivanna. If you decide to take them, keep in mind that the price for coke will be announced to you starting from $80, although you can take it on the street for $20-25. The quality of the coke on the whole island sucks, there's no need to be under any illusions. The grass is really good, who loves.
If you decide to take something like that, it’s better from a person who rubs near the hotel’s barrier, he works there, which means he won’t throw you. Be sure to bargain to the last. It is better to buy girls in brothels (here they are allowed), since the employees of these institutions have local certificates)).

Let me summarize!
When we gathered in the Dominican Republic, everyone told us that we would like it. When we arrived, we were not imbued with either the hotel or the service. But then…. Every day we were covered by this cool Latin American atmosphere, an everlasting sense of adventure. It was a pleasure to get to know this country and its people. As a result, we both were delighted with our holiday, we would very much like to return here in a few years.

Good luck to everyone and have a good rest!

For the first time I visited this year with my husband in this wonderful country!
Impressions are amazing! We are very lucky! Hotel, ocean, beach, country, people EVERYTHING met our expectations!
This is perhaps the first country, after visiting which I VERY miss my vacation, the ocean and this paradise. . .
We flew from Biblio Globus, Russian Airlines! The flight went just fine!
We really liked the hotel! Beautiful, the territory is clean, all the time put things in order, in all corners! The reception is very beautiful, there are always large vases with fresh flowers, aroma throughout the hall. Indescribably! At the meeting, we were treated to a welcome cocktail : )
Very beautiful area, all as in the photo on the Internet. Everything matches!
They really have their own vibe. And it is felt from the airport itself! : )) The staff is very friendly, smiling! But almost no one speaks Russian) They settled quickly, in 20 minutes.
We were given a room in building 12 on the 3rd floor. They took us to the building, brought the suitcases. The room was large, nice, renovated. The room has a huge bed, 2 sofas, shower, mirrors, wardrobe, hair dryer, iron, coffee maker, air conditioning, fan, table and chairs on the balcony. Everything is as described on the sites. The view from the 3rd floor is good and no one will look into the windows)) In general, everything suited us, they did not change anything.
It seemed to me that the maid never changed the bed... This is of course a minus. Cleaning is not perfect... Although we left a tip . . But there were a lot of towels, both large and small. There was also a gel, shampoo and conditioner. there was enough drinking water. Beer was brought only 1 or 2 times and then at our request. But we didn’t suffer much from this, because. almost never sat in the room.
There are many ice generators throughout the territory.
Really great comfy beds! Beautiful pools, but we didn’t swim in them much, we spent all the time in the ocean and on the beach. The beach is gorgeous, there are always enough sunbeds. the water in the ocean is non-aral! Very nice. Sometimes algae come from the ocean, they say in the ocean there is nothing without it. But they are not dirty and do not interfere at all, even cool, we have not seen them anywhere. In this hotel every morning they are removed from the beach by a tractor and the sand is again white as in the picture!!!! ! Just super! (on the beaches of other hotels, these algae lie in mountains and 5 meters wide, they are rarely cleaned and not as clean as in this hotel. ) There are no umbrellas on the beach, but palm trees are not bad rescue. At lunchtime, it is better not to be in the sun.
On the territory of a beautiful pond with turtles, huge fish and ducks!! ! Beautiful flowers everywhere! Unusual birds! Sing from the very morning! This is an awesome place!!! ! The only thing this hotel doesn't have is flamingos))
The hotel is very active and more youthful, there are few vacationers with children. Lots of foreigners! There are few Russian tourists. A lot of animation, just for adult youth. Animators are very active, funny, groovy. Sutra and until night amuse the people throughout the hotel. There are many entertainments, active animation on the beach in the morning, games for adults. Shows in the evening, different every day, including films and cartoons for children, popcorn making. All this is free! It seems to me that this hotel has everything that is possible, that only the soul can wish for........)))
Drinks and food around the clock! for every taste....A lot of fruits (pineapples, watermelons - very tasty, papaya, melon, bananas, guinea, guava. Mango was given several times) Freshly squeezed juices and smoothies every morning in the restaurant and in the restaurant on the beach.
Ice cream, delicious pancakes, cake, pizza, pasta, a lot of meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, goat meat) cheeses (a couple of times even with mold). There are burgers, hot dogs, deep-fried chicken. Tasty beer.
Excellent restaurants by appointment, we went to each, some even 2 times. There is a club in the hotel, but we never got to it...
There are a lot of food and drinks and I think you can choose for every taste. It's a pity that I didn't have the strength to try everything )))))))) Seafood is scarce, they say they don't know how to cook it. . Several times there was a paella with seafood, king prawns and 1 time sushi.
The bar at the reception makes unrealistically delicious cocktails....Thank you for the welcome to all the hotel staff! Would like to return again.
Everything is very cool.
To be honest, we all really liked it, I can’t imagine how it is possible to write cons about this hotel. It's just that there are people who see cons even where there are none.
And I'm glad that of all the hotels we chose this place and my husband is also very pleased. Would definitely recommend to my friends)
And yes, the Internet is paid, but this did not upset us. On the contrary, they decided to take a break from social networks. And you know it's very cool! We are happy!!!!! ! thanks for all!!!! !

The hotel is just great! We have been planning a trip to the Dominican Republic for a very long time, but somehow it didn’t work out. We have chosen this hotel many times, and each time we liked this one, then this one. And this time we decided to choose Occidental and now we understand that the choice was excellent. … More ▾ The hotel is just great! We have been planning a trip to the Dominican Republic for a very long time, but somehow it didn’t work out. We have chosen this hotel many times, and each time we liked this one, then this one. And this time we decided to choose Occidental and now we understand that the choice was excellent. I'll start with the most important thing for me, from the beach. Most fly to the Dominican Republic because of the divine and unique beaches of this island. The beach is wonderful. Algae is cleaned every day, so the cleanliness is perfect. The water is crystal clear, the waves are pleasant, there have never been huge ones. But at the same time, it's nice to jump on the waves. The beach is very beautiful, there are no umbrellas, and this is another plus. Everything looks close to natural conditions. There are more than enough beds. Although the beach is not very big, there were always enough places, and the sunbeds were not crowded. They didn’t go over each other’s heads, there was enough free personal space. The territory is also a fairy tale. There are many palm trees and greenery, there is a lake with living creatures, turtles, fish, ducks. Several pools, three to be exact. Bars are at almost every step, you can have a bite to eat and drink any cocktail or just a cup of coffee, by the way, very tasty. They did not buy additional VIP services, and they made the right decision. What food, what alcohol is of the highest quality, and with a simple choice of a tour, I think you should not overpay, but it's up to you to decide. A room with a huge king size bed, there is a lot of space, enough for a family, but for the two of us, it’s generally excellent. There is also a lot of space for things, a safe, an iron and ironing board, a coffee maker, a mini-bar, shower accessories, everything changed every day, or was reported. Cleaning is excellent, every day, beach towels are immediately in the room and you can change them all day and as many times as you want. The food didn't disappoint either. In addition to the main restaurant, as I already wrote, you can eat almost anywhere in the hotel at any time, even late at night or early in the morning. Immediately upon arrival, we signed up for a la carte restaurants, you can visit them once. Steakhouse and Seafood are real favourites, although the others are just as good. . In total, the main restaurant lacked meat and vegetables in any form immeasurably, less fruit and seafood, and that was every day. Alcohol and other drinks are also unlimited. In this case, you can say for sure that they are pouring like a river. The only drawback is the lack of free internet, only for a fee, but we knew about it, so we were not very upset, at least we had a rest without phones)). The staff is not particularly in a hurry, and this is also worth considering, everything is a bit slow, but it is done with high quality. In general, the hotel is superb. And most importantly, the beach where you want to spend the rest of your life)))).
