For the first time we gathered with my husband in the Dominican Republic. So far, we have opted for the Emotions By Hodelpa Hotel 4 *. Maybe someone was there and can share their impressions, both positive and negative?
Or advise something on a similar budget ... We plan to fly for 11-12 nights, in early March. Thank you all in advance!

For the hotel, it is better to read the reviews yourself, here in Egypt, mainly specialists. And what is the budget?

Your hotel is located on one of the best beaches in the Dominican Republic - Juan Dolio. But, on weekends, all the residents of Santo Domingo and La Romana gather there. This is neither good nor bad. You just need to be ready for this and understand that there will be no relaxation on the beach on Saturday and Sunday. And in the water there will be nowhere for an apple to fall. Locals swim there, walk, ride catamarans, arrange organized swimming competitions. Everyone floating in the hands of a bottle of rum, and the air over the Caribbean Sea has a persistent smell of cannabis.
Upon arrival, I immediately bought excursions with the capture of Saturdays and Sundays, as I already knew about this feature of the beautiful Dominican Republic. But, nevertheless, I do not consider it a minus. This is how they spend their weekends. The security of tourists is controlled by armed police on the shore, on jet skis, on boats and with the help of drones. But, there are moments of molestation in the water, so it’s better to swim in groups :)) It’s generally normal for them - “close communication” in the water in front of everyone.

botn , about your desire to "get a lot for a little":
You can wait for the action, but it will definitely be, and fly away for ridiculous money. This year we flew on March 6 for 12 days for $ 1360 for 2 with ALL in BelleVue Dominican Bay 3 *. We went to Juan Dolio beach on our own, on a local minibus in order to compare with the beaches of Boca Chica.
I strongly advise you to visit as many excursions as possible, since the Dominican Republic is very different, and being in a hotel you cannot understand it. Food in hotels - above all praise! In terms of variety and taste, it is even better than in the Maldives atolls. Variety of seafood, fruits, cheeses, meats, poultry. It is not possible to list everything. And this is in a 3* hotel!!! In general, a vacation in the Dominican Republic according to the formula day - beach, day - excursion - this is the best vacation! For me, in this country there is only one minus - not the possibility of independent walks. They can pick up the phone, money (at any time of the day).

Yes, I agree, the Dominican Republic is an awesome place to relax, if a girl is traveling with a couple, you can take three excursions, but you wouldn’t risk it alone, there’s enough crime, not Haiti, of course, but,,, it’s creepy at times ... A trip to Saona is MANDATORY and if have an extra thousand bucks take a helicopter tour along the island, an unforgettable view from above

Do you confuse the Dominican Republic with neighboring Haiti? The Dominican Republic seems to be quite a calm country without crime. This is an eternal tin in Haiti.

but you go to the Dominican Republic, ride at least to the hotel and from the hotel to the airport, and then say that everything is OK .... I’m not talking about Haiti, but I didn’t advise the girl to go far from the hotel ...

Do not confuse, it is really not safe to move around the country on your own.
Helicopter is a must! Cayo Levantado is the pearl of the Caribbean! This place will make you fall in love at first sight! After him, Saona is no longer impressive. First you need to visit Saona, and then Cayo Levantado, so that the impressions go up. Whale watching is a MUST in March! Orlov Bay. By the way, the helicopter is not worth $1000. You can bargain. I took 8 excursions at once and the discount was very good, plus a discount before March 8 :)

alex, it seems to me that I consulted with you about excursions. It seems that it was you who advised me Pedro Tour. And I have never regretted it! I'm waiting for a new promotion to repeat the trip to the Dominican Republic! Now Cuba is very cheap, almost for nothing, but I can’t go there :)) but I would like to.............

It is necessary to re-read the reviews on the Dominican Republic, something no one mentioned about the dangers, it seems.
alex... , baby, here you put a picture, but what's the point? With such a restriction on resolution, you still can’t see anything.

No one went to Haiti, everyone was afraid. The fact of the matter is that there are no reviews about the danger. But there is a very big danger! We were guarded around the clock by heavily armed security guards at the hotel. Every 30-50 meters there is a guard. Plus cameras everywhere. There are a lot of guards with machine guns on the beach. It was somehow dumb at first, I even regretted that I didn’t fly to the Maldives. But one gets used to everything. On the 2nd day I did not notice the guards. At the disco at night, too, security!
