Rested from 15 to 30 September 2011. Many people ask about the weather. So - the weather there is ALWAYS GOOD. If it's windy, it's much better - it's hot and humid there. If it rains, then 15-20 minutes and again the sun. The rooms are good, the territory is spacious and green, everyone smiles at you and vacationers too. The central building has a large number of chairs with tables, 2 bars, restaurants, live music in the evening. Drinks from bars are brought to where you are. There are several restaurants and almost from 6 am to 11 pm you can eat. On the beach there is a restaurant, two bars and a barbecue. The staff is very friendly, but understands nothing except in Spanish, but guesses and there are no problems. Animation is great. You can't explain it, you have to see it. I saw how the animator did fitness with one person - a trifle, but pleasant. There is a Turkish sauna (did not go to the sauna, and there, as in the steam room) and jacuzzi, fitness center, golf courses. But in this heat, the best thing is the ocean, and it is "soft", warm, clean and beautiful there. We didn’t see beautiful fish, but we rode ourselves on a catamaran under sail (included in the price) and a kayak. Swimming pool och. big and for all wishes: from babies to athletes and there is a bar in the water. On the beach, not obtrusively, you can take pictures with animals and buy excursions. For example: two Russians bought an excursion to the island of Saona for $420, and they offered us on the beach for €110, also for two - draw your own conclusions. Feedback from tourists about a trip to about. Saona: we traveled by bus for 2 hours, then we sailed for 2 hours on a large (up to 80 people) catamaran, 3 buses arrived from Russia and they managed to drink a lot on the catamaran, so everyone on the island was already very tired. The island is very beautiful, the sand is white as flour, the sea around is hundreds of meters shallow, there are many starfish. We stayed for 2 hours, then the road back, arrived at 20 o'clock. The next day we rested in the room until lunch. We didn't go. We went to the beach to the "Americans" hotel - 15 minutes along the coast - there are no reefs and therefore the wave is large ocean (we did not have waves). There you see all the strength and power of the ocean. It will remain in my memory for a long time - after 15 minutes in the ocean there is simply no strength: my legs are wadded and I want to watch TV in a taxi and in my room (there are 2 Russian channels). Evenings at the hotel are interesting: in the summer theater under the roof and with a bar (after dinner in the heat you want to drink), the animators put on a show in beautiful outfits with dances, sing under plywood, many different scenery and fun with them. The level, of course, is not professional, but they were happy to entertain us and every evening the mood was good and cheerful. Take something for mosquitoes. You don't feel the bite, but you can feel it. 2 weeks flew by in one breath. But we were happy to go home. The two of us were taken there and back by bus. On the way back, the driver gave us a CD with Dominican music, which we praised. Rest was a success.
