I'll start with the exterior of the hotel, from the outside. There are five without question, everything is decorous, solid, neat and clean, there are no comments.
The pool is very good, located across the entire territory of the hotel, it looks chic with its bridges, umbrellas and sunbeds. The depth is only 1 meter everywhere, and maybe it's for the better, no one is tempted to jump into the water.
Rooms... Here I have to say not very much, the hotel is no longer new and REQUIRES urgent repairs inside. People, of course, the servants are trying, they clean and clean constantly, but if the furniture, walls, plumbing, windows and doors are already old, nothing will help, you need to change...

We knew about this when we chose the hotel, we read the reviews, we were ready, but we were determined that we would only spend the night in the rooms, so the old furniture did not scare us away. Everything is as it should be in the room - a safe is free, a refrigerator with drinks replenished every day (2 beers, cola, fanta, water), the air conditioner works fine, it was turned off at night, otherwise it’s cold to sleep, a coffee maker, coffee, a bottle of rum, a TV ( there is even a Russian TV). Cleaning - well done, every day + change of towels! Of the small minuses - the absence of hot water in the bathroom before lunch, we used to go to a restaurant in clean clothes for lunch, so at 13 o’clock we went to the shower after the ocean, and then... I’m fine, but my wife was grumbling...
The climate is gorgeous... Every day +28 +29, at night +22 +23, water +26. The Atlantic is class, we are shocked by such warm water... But there are disadvantages of the ocean, don’t flatter yourself guys with pictures of white sand, it’s not so white and there are enough algae... I counted 5 days when a decent wind blew from of the ocean and drove the grass and there was so much of it that they didn’t even remove it, I’ll put a photo, then of course the workers removed everything the next day, where with a pitchfork with a wheelbarrow, where with a tractor, but keep in mind, there can be a lot of grass...
Meals. . . I'll tell you about the main restaurant, there are many different ones there. . . The food is not very diverse, of course no one will remain hungry, but this is not Turkey !!!!! ! , I liked it there more. In the Dominican Republic, everything is the same - grilled meat, pork, beef, chicken, almost no fish, enough fruits depending on the season, but vegetables are not very good, as for me there are so few spicy dishes, I wanted to try some special Dominican soups, I took a couple of times - nonsense, not impressed...
The waiters....Here is the class, they fuss non-stop, the dirty dishes are immediately removed from the table, the wine is poured, but if you give a dollar a couple of times, then they will notice you and you are a VIP person.
Bars are also a huge plus for this hotel. GOOD FELLOWS!! ! There are a lot of them and there are no queues that are near the pool or the beach, what is inside the hotel near the reception or where the animation takes place. Class !! ! The alcohol is of high quality, the rum and cola are awesome, and the cocktails are different and tasty, the only thing is that almost everything is with ice, but this is the Dominican Republic, they are so used to it. . .

Animation... Excellent, very professional dancing, plus a show from the outside, such as a magician from Cuba - Copperfield is resting... Aerobics for you, and dancing, and all kinds of games are constantly working with people... In general, to the sound of the ocean surf and a glass Roma is fine. . .
Next, the internet. I was surprised by the excellent FREE Internet without any problems, without registration and codes, class. . .
The contingent of vacationers. 80 percent are Americans, there are also Russians and quite a few, but as a rule, everyone is from America and Canada
Tipping... You can not give, there will be no problems and none of the servants beg. But purely for yourself, for convenience, you will give this dollar at lunch and in the evening at the bar, and the next day you have a different attitude, the waiters treat you like a friend, nice, they will know...
OK, now about what is outside the hotel... The beach seems to be wide, but they clean it only on the territory of the hotel, you move 200 meters away there are algae, we walked every day to the left side (if you face the ocean), walked about a kilometer along the coast and back instead of gymnastics in the morning, of course, if you go a little deeper there is a lot of dirt and garbage, it’s sad that the Dominicans live in such a paradise and simply littered everything around (excuse my French). We went to Saona, bought a tour right at the hotel for 150 euros (or 170 bucks asked), I liked it very much, the nature is stunned, I recommend everyone to go, the Caribbean Sea is generally a waste, PARADISE !!!!
If anyone has questions, ask, I always read reviews before choosing a hotel and I will be happy to help.
Neither and P. S.
The Dominican Republic is chic, it’s worth a look, you will be satisfied, but moving there, as the well-known YouTuber Ilya campaigns, the Dominican Republic is not worth it, it’s just scary, a poor country, crime, the absence of traffic rules on the roads, while you go to the airport or to the hotel you grab your heart, horror.
