Отель прекрасный! The hotel is wonderful!

This hotel was a real find for my wife and I. Looking through the hotels before the holidays, we wouldn’t even pay attention to it if it weren’t for the advice of the guys from whom we bought excursions in advance (Slava from the 2Banana company advised this hotel as the most suitable for a vacation together). What is most interesting, they didn’t even find it in the Pegasus database, they searched, googled it and decided that it was necessary to go here. The hotel is brand new, opened at the end of 2013, given that most of the hotels popular on the Russian market have been operating for much longer, the difference will be noticeable in this category. Immediately at the reception they offered to pay for the Xhale Club upgrade, but we decided that everything suits us anyway. The room is very stylish with a dedicated seating area, a huge bathroom, a King Size bed with very high quality, good linen and an interesting mosaic laid out above the bed, a mini-bar with purchases, a large TV and an introductory area on the ground floor with access to the river pool (of course, shallow and more decorative, but beautiful) and two private deck chairs, which we mainly used in the evening to lie down before going to bed under the open sky. Yes, I’ll say right away that the hotel, despite its impressive capacity (the fund has about 750 rooms), works only for adults. There are no children here, respectively, quite calmly and measuredly. We have nothing against family hotels, but since we rested for the first time in a hotel of this category, it was even unusual. The hotel area is luxurious: several swimming pools with floating bars, comfortable sun loungers, a Jacuzzi, there are always some snacks next to each pool, the beach is a separate song. Privileged, private beach with perfectly clean sand and clear water, we were delighted. Huts located on the shore with white fabrics for relaxation fit in well; the place would be ideal for wedding ceremonies. Even I, a person not too well versed in romance, was impressed. Separately about food at the hotel. In addition to the standard restaurants for the Dominican Republic: everyone's favorite steakhouse, sea and others, there are Lebanese, Italian, French, Latin and Asian cuisines. A. means, feel free to plan thematically every evening of your stay. I especially liked the Lebanese cuisine with tortillas, meat and spicy salads, and, of course, the local cuisine is at its best. At least for my taste. After dinner, the hotel is not at all boring, you can sit in one of several bars, live music plays, and all kinds of events are organized. You can participate if you wish. So, I consider it a very big omission that the operators do not offer this hotel to couples in Russia (at least there were few of them on our arrival! And thanks to 2 Bananas for advice and help in organizing our holiday!
