Of the benefits: Territory and geography of the hotel (Dominican Republic)
Disadvantages:
Paid safe (3 $ (USA) per day), paid WiFi (40 $ (USA) per week). Widespread theft and the hotel's disregard for the safety of tourists in general
The number of rooms for a weak C grade - constant dampness, mosquitoes, the room does not provide a TV remote control, toothbrushes, toothpaste.
While my wife and I were at dinner, the door to our room was forced open. They stole valuable equipment, cash and everything that was of any value.
Everything happened three days before departure, during this time the hotel staff instantly ceased to be Russian-speaking (even English was immediately forgotten, only Spanish), no one even hinted at any compensation, “an investigation is underway, ” our tour operator explained...
Simultaneously with ours, on the same evening, the numbers of our compatriots in other buildings were hacked, equipment, money, and valuables were stolen.

having come to the room for the first time, they were simply horrified: everything is old, terrible, peeling, the bathtub is rusty, all the tiles are chipped and broken, the plumbing is loose, the drain in the bathroom and the sink does not close at all, the curtains are dirty and worn, the furniture is all chipped, leaking water from the air conditioner on the ceiling, the pillows are old, knocked down, it feels like they are stuffed with pieces of foam, the front door is peeling.

And by the way, we paid extra for a superior room! but, as it turned out, it differs only in that it should have an iron, which they never brought us, and a coffee maker, which does not work at all. Tea and coffee have never been updated, that is, probably 2 bags, they have it for 2 weeks of vacation for 3 people. Towels, by the way, are yellow, with stains, very scary. We thought that maybe we were so unlucky with the number - they asked to change it at the reception, with grief they showed us 2 more rooms, and everything is the same there, even the elevator didn’t work somewhere, and we couldn’t do without a stroller. T. e. the entire half of the Kokotel hotel has such terrible rooms, the side that is repaired is the Tropical on the left hand, but neither Anex nor Pegasus are accommodated in it. while at the reception they were waiting for the keys, several people came running in the same horror and demanded to change the rooms.

The hotel is wonderful, if you are lucky like us, and you will end up in the tropical - the renovated part. We arrived around 18:00. They settled very quickly: smiles, a couple of phrases in Spanish, Alenka chocolates did their job! ) And here we are in a chic suite on the ground floor 3308. The room has a spacious wardrobe, a huge bed, bedside tables, a port for recharging the phone, a spacious TV stand; in the second room two! folding sofas, a table, a console with shelves, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, a second huge LCD TV.

On the 3rd day, there was a problem with the sewerage and relocation to an even better room: sea view, 2nd floor, isolated balcony (in the first one there was a neighbor's room through the partition). The beach is clean, beautiful, there are enough sunbeds for everyone. You can feed the fish. Staff at the same time friendly and unobtrusive. Internet is paid (((, this is the only minus!

I'll start with check-in. Check-in from 15:00. The rooms are dirty, the bath is rusty, the towels and bed linen are stained, the floor is dirty with fine grains of sand. Towels for two - 3 pcs. They asked me to bring the towels and clean them up, they answered that pay extra $ 300 or you won’t see any changes.

They asked me to bring the towels and clean them up, they answered that pay extra $ 300 or you won’t see any changes. During the whole holiday we left the money to the maid, she cleaned us at least. There is no free Wi-Fi in hotels, they ask for $ 4 for half an hour. But the neighboring hotel on the shore provides it to everyone for free, all the tourists went there or to the Russian store on the left side of the beach. The safe is also paid + they ask for a deposit of $ 20. The hotel is under construction, there is noise and often smells of paint. We flew as newlyweds, presented them with a certificate every day, knocked out our promised breakfast, they did not provide us with dinner at the restaurant, arguing that there were no places !! ! What a holiday, so: people are settled there like cattle, there are not enough places in the restaurant, you stand in line and wait to eat!! ! The tables are dirty, until you start to clean the dirty plates yourself, everyone passes by, after which they fly screaming at you. Seafood? What is it? You can forget about them in this hotel. There are no first courses either. 2 types of soup - water with chopped carrots and porridge-mucus from potatoes. The meat is dry. Fruits - melon, overripe watermelon, sometimes pineapple, mango, passion fruit, unripe tangerines. Near the pool and on the ocean there are not enough sunbeds, there are no towels for everyone either! A la carte restaurants are full. Registration is not possible, there are always no places. The staff does not speak Russian, many do not speak English either. All requests are fulfilled very slowly, they often forget, they don’t want to do anything for free, they behave as if we also owe them. Things in the laundress could not pass 3 days! They could not bring the unfortunate form, but at the reception they did not give it in their hands. Representatives of Anex - Eugene and Olga, is also a separate issue. Hams, rude people, are not always in place. All Russian tourists spat and resented! Throughout the rest, they were only rude, asked to resolve our problem with a gift for the newlyweds, to which Olga replied that this was a free compliment, so there was nothing to be indignant about and left. They offer excursions with a 200% cheat and photo shoots for $ 250. Don't see me! Everything is much cheaper! The staff, the tour operator and the hotel itself left a not very pleasant memory. We will never recommend you to friends! The Dominican Republic is beautiful, but you spoil it with your terrible work! We will be back, but we will bypass the Sirenis staff and the rudeness of Anex.

We flew from Moscow from Anex tour, the carrier was Azur air, at the beginning of November 2016, I will say right away the flight was excellent, the food was normal. Maybe we got lucky. other tourists wrote disgusting reviews about the airline. Upon arrival, we were quickly transferred to the hotel. And here begins our settlement.

We flew from Moscow from Anex tour, the carrier was Azur air, at the beginning of November 2016, I will say right away the flight was excellent, the food was normal. Maybe we got lucky. other tourists wrote disgusting reviews about the airline.
Upon arrival, we were quickly transferred to the hotel.
And here begins our settlement. Russian cunning or wisdom helps: at the reception you can agree on a good number. I had a room in Kokotal, but I arranged for a good room in Tropical, in building C. I explain that in Kokotal there are casinos and discos, imagine how you will sleep.
The rooms are in some places in the mold. there is a lot of humidity. Because of this, clothes also almost do not dry. You have to dry it with a hair dryer, take plenty of swimwear with you. And so everything is fine, the food is good, drink what you want, eat what you want, of course, within the all-inclusive. You can ask for $ 1 to get a coconut and open it, local workers in green uniforms, if you tell them Coco and show them to the top.
The ocean is unclear, the beach is super, the pools are good with bars, you swim up and order what they have. The water park is so-so. Excursions are something who likes to take, but think about who to take and where. It is profitable to take an excursion to Saona, $ 60 per person from Sasha at Happy Time (below is more about where this store is).
I was personally stung by a jellyfish. Dominican doctors helped me, naturally for money. But at the same time, our hotel guide from the anex tour, MURATU, when I told him that I was stung by a jellyfish, did not give a damn about me.
If you walk along the beach to the left, you can find a Happy Time store in a two-story building, next to the restaurant, where the owner and seller Sasha is, there is also free Wi-Fi in this store, ask Sasha to connect. You can make a profitable exchange (barter) in his store, taking from Russia: chocolate (for example, Alyonka), vodka, vacuum-packed herring, etc.
It is profitable to take Dominican chocolate from Sasha, cigarillos are also cheaper from him, some oils and creams are also more profitable to buy from him.
Rum is more profitable to take on a free trip (shopping). Cigars in a box are more profitable to take on shopping.
If you take a lot of magnets (from 15 pieces), you can buy profitably in Katyusha, but not in the one right on the beach near the Sirenis hotel. And in the one you will see when you go to the hotel, be at another hotel (on foot to go there for about 20-30 minutes). It is better not to leave the hotel territory without outerwear (t-shirts, T-shirts), the locals do not like this.
We flew back to Moscow normally, the flight was postponed, but this was reported back at the hotel (it was indicated in the folder at the desk of the anex tour).
Enjoy your holiday to those who collect in Sirenis.

I'll start with small unpleasant nuances, but they are few. And the beach towels are a bit old. Half of the sun loungers on the beach should also be changed, and perhaps we did not find anything else bad. The rooms here I don’t know for sure, we were settled in a decent room, furniture, normal cleaning, regular reminding is unnecessary.

Half of the sun loungers on the beach should also be changed, and perhaps we did not find anything else bad. The rooms here I don’t know for sure, we were settled in a decent room, furniture, normal cleaning, regular reminding is unnecessary. They clean up well. Now, there was not much abundance of seafood nutrition, although fish in different variations, they ate sturgeon and scallops and shrimp, but I would like a larger assortment. But there were a lot of meat dishes, even a lamb. Every day, themed dinners are prepared awesome, we all liked it. The service is also very good, the waiters know their stuff. Lots of fruits. Alcohol suits us just fine. When choosing a hotel, I wanted to have a good beach and delicious food, and fun animation) And with the beach, everything suited us too, the entrance to the water was convenient. The beach is regularly cleaned from algae. There is also no trash. Nearby there is a palm grove. There were enough sun loungers for all of us, we never had to borrow. And the animators also did not let us down with cheerful colorful dance programs. Another addition to entertainment is the presence of a water park. . Also go for a massage they do great. I don’t see the point in listing standard entertainment like tennis. In general, the hotel suited us perfectly and even exceeded our expectations. If you go here you won't regret it! Yes, and the money came out very affordable!

I recommend not to overpay in Moscow, but there everything is much more profitable to solve on the spot !! ! We started like this!!! ! The first floor! I thought I would put up with it, but even the children began to suffocate from the humidity!! ! Then the 2nd we stopped there, but the day before departure we were horrified because we found a rat in the closet !!!!!! ! about all 11 days of rest!!!! ! We were again moved for one day to a non-renovated room and we realized that, in principle, we overpaid in vain !! ! It was the Cocotail territory in the Tropikal territory the rooms are very small....
Animation 5!! ! In terms of food, if you don’t pretend to be delights, then everything is very simple and tasty !!! ! If you are looking for delights, then order restaurants for free every evening, especially Asian ones, because they are not only tasty there, but also interesting, they cook in front of your eyes, the children are delighted! ! ! But don't eat too much on the Swedish table, because then the dish from the chef won't come in!! ! and they try very hard there, other restaurants are also cool.

I went with a child of 10 years for 22 days, the second time, because I liked it the first time. Now things have gotten worse. They last year received a "palm branch" under 17, and, apparently, relaxed, they do not care about the guests. Perhaps everything that can be imagined has happened to us. Coral asked for a transfer of u$d 300, so we went ourselves from the port to the hotel by taxi for 65 round trip.

They last year received a "palm branch" under 17, and, apparently, relaxed, they do not care about the guests. Perhaps everything that can be imagined has happened to us. Coral asked for a transfer of u$d 300, so we went ourselves from the port to the hotel by taxi for 65 round trip. They flew through Zurich, as the Aeroflot requested a cosmic amount, and the Turko-Caucasian Azur put a few extra rows on the plane, even removing the business class partition, shifting the balance of the fuselage, and their planes land emergency, but there are no runways in the ocean, so there was resolutely marked. (Some people call these planes cattlemen. ) The port in Zurich is beyond praise, regretted that he took only a couple of hours for the transfer, there was not enough time to inspect and buy everything. We arrived at night by taxi to the hotel, gave us a room on the 2nd floor, and got stuck in the elevator, as the stairs were not found.
They pressed the help button in the elevator, the siren howled. No one came. They lilaced several times, 30 minutes passed, and we were called down by a tourist in pajamas, whom we prevented from sleeping, none of the servants came!!! ! We returned to the reception, demanded another room, without elevators, on the first floor. After 10 minutes they gave, trudged to another room, opened it, but another person was sleeping there! How we opened it with our key - this is a reason to think ...They returned, demanded a third number. The child and I are tired, we want to wash, we want to eat, sleep, but we have to hang out over a vast territory back and forth. They came, like the room was empty, but our things were taken to that second floor, we had to go to the reception for the fourth time and find out where the luggage was. The room was next to the theater and disco, until two in the morning music with a Dominican accent, regardless of who wrote it.
There are not enough seats in the theater for everyone, therefore, when a circus or a Michael Jackson show, the citizens of the Union republics take all the seats with hats, bottles, bags, towels a couple of hours before the start. There is no wi-fi, only for u$d 4 for 30 minutes, and then only at the reception. The safe is paid, at least u $ d 50, and almost immediately blocked, and there was money, phones, tablets, they asked to open it during the day, but the master was at lunch, then he was at another facility, then he had dinner, then he went home, and they promised to open it safe only on the trail. day. The climate is damp, nothing dries, if you want to dry something, take it to the beach. Full of mosquitoes in the room. Bites the size of five rubles, and which mosquito with ZIKA is unknown. Travel bag, clothes, toothbrushes, baseball caps covered with mold, overgrown with fungus. I had to wash regularly.
In a restaurant, you can’t take wine, beer, tea, coffee yourself, the waiters wear it, but they may not bring it, then you have to leave the restaurant, go to the bar, wait there for it to be poured, and return to the table. We went to a la carte 8 times, it also got worse, lobsters disappeared in Italian, salmon disappeared in Japanese, juicy tacos disappeared in Mexican, old, half-boiled, tasteless corn appeared in steaks instead of tender young corn. After juices and cocktails, lips are painted in chemical colors. The reception is rude, the waiters are rude, the maids use vigorous bleach, as they fight mold, the smell is terrible, and the doors cannot be opened, even more ZIKA mosquitoes will fly in. Water mechanical activities are free, but require u$d20 for the first briefing. On the tennis courts, they also take twenty for the first workout, then for free. When leaving, they also demand money for half a day. The beach flooded.
It used to be huge, clean, gently sloping, now neighboring hotels have begun to be built, coastal palm trees have been uprooted, on which we tore coconuts for free, the island is gradually sinking under water. There are a lot of Russians with bulky golden collars, who have intelligence, you know what, they taught the staff Russian "words", and now they have a refined address "bro" instead of "sir". Yes, if you go, take a pillow with you. Everything is lumpy there, I had to make a pillow from a bedspread in order to sleep. In sockets 110 volts, the iPad is not fully charged overnight. The refrigerator does not freeze, just like a box stands. The staff likes to chat loudly among themselves in gibberish, standing twenty meters apart, early in the morning. There is no soundproofing in the rooms, the whole building was worried about the girl who could not finish.
The walls in the rooms are stained with blood from mosquitoes, cracked, the doors are peeled off, the bath without curtains, so there is water on the floor until you cover it with two or three towels, the tiles are in fungus, the musty smell of which gives a headache. I took some pictures of "moss" on things and mosquito bites. The child had up to five huge bites per night. Whether we brought ZIKA to Moscow or not, I don’t know, but I feel bad...Yes, I still foresee the answers of the hotel’s “defenders”, who will claim that they personally didn’t have this with them. I'm happy for you. But it was with us, otherwise I would not have undertaken to write!

Lots of bukuff. Were 12 days with my wife and child (6 years). Basically everything is super: nature, weather, food, people are friendly.
More. Drinks by the river all day - I tried cocktails. Of course, the local balm Bitner - Mamajuana. Bars in the foyer (it is also a lobby, reception), in the pools. The restaurant by the pool also has a bar and snacks, fruits.
The main restaurant - a buffet - hearty, a large assortment of dishes. The Dominican Republic is generally suitable for vacationers with children, because. the menu, one might say, is European, it does not abound with exotics. There was always soup for lunch.
Dish of the day: they always cut some giant beef or pork leg, chicken, fish in front of you. The fish was once huge - a head three times human. Chicken and turkey are delicious. In general, food is not like our chymosis. Even breast, cat. in our clean view it is dry and good only in a salad, there it melts in your mouth. Of the fruits, there were no avocados - not the season, but there were always delicious bananas and the most delicate mangoes, papaya, passion fruit and pineapples, as well as watermelons (no rind, not very sweet), subspecies of orange with a green rind and orange melons (not sweet). There was also sugarcane cut into strips. The pastries are delicious.
Desserts are quite decent, but we were spoiled in this regard by the Grand Resort in Limassol, whose desserts will be more refined.
National and international cuisines: every evening in the restaurant they hung out for greater clarity, respectively. flag. The cuisines were repeated: their own, Spain, Italy, USA, European and “from the chef”. On the day of Dominican cuisine, a "mermaid" with a decollete was seated at the entrance to the hall.
With seafood, however, a bummer. Not Thailand, as they say. At times there were shrimps, squid rings, scallops. Everything is not very good. Be careful with scallops - often fragments of shells fall on the tooth.
Of the minuses of the kitchen is that they like not to fry, not to cook. You can’t cut any steaks, you can’t chew them. Cauliflower crunches, but you want boiled.
They didn’t sign up for themed restaurants, didn’t go. At the buffet, take as much as you want and immediately, and in those, as they said, you order from the menu at random (as you understand, without pictures and in a foreign language), you don’t know what and you wait an hour until they bring you one dish.
Breakfast is also varied, but always the same, which, oddly enough, is good, because against the backdrop of lunch and dinner, I wanted predictability. Freshly squeezed juices - pineapple (always took), melon, papaya, banana. A cheerful cook will fry a different egg for you. In general, the local people are very melodious. My son was bitten by some kind of beetle (everything worked out, but they were alarmed) - they took advantage of insurance, even the doctor hummed at the time of the examination.
The weather has always been beautiful, the clouds are beautiful intricate. Sometimes there was a short, but sometimes plentiful, warm rain. The sky was cloudy for a couple of days. The humidity is high, the clothes do not dry properly.
Rich well-groomed vegetation pleases the eye. Palms. Gardeners climb to the very top and cut down coconuts and branches. You ask for a coconut, they will trim it with a machete - you drink it. You bring it to the bar and they will mix it with alcohol for you.
In general, nature and climate are more pleasant than our traditional (currently RIP) Egypt, Turkey and Cyprus. There are thorns, dead wood, not a cloud in the sky. Here is nonsense.
Peacocks of both sexes walk around the territory. The jackdaws are chirping. Like our crows: they fly up to profit, they like to splash in the pool.
The ocean is warm, without storms, but restless. The transparency of the azure water is broken by the waves lifting sand from the sandy bottom. People love to feed ocean fish with bread. Once, when there were quite a lot of them and various ones, they jumped out of the water. The son was horrified by this.
It was sometimes windy on the beach: the freezing wife was chilly, but nothing to me. There is no wind near the pool, but it is stuffy in the heat.
A lot of algae washed ashore and dangled at the water's edge. Slightly spoiled the view. According to the guide, the consequences of recent storms. The car cleaned the shore from them.
After lunch we went to the ocean (in the morning it is more hectic), in the morning we warmed ourselves by the main pool with a mermaid. Once they wanted to relax by the pool after dinner, but the sunbeds were all occupied - the people were swarming, there were generally three rows at the water bar.
Some of our gulens were unhappy that the pool was only until 18:00.
We went to the water park once. The wife is a coward, she never rides. The child was very pleased. I liked it too. At first, as always scary, but the main thing is the first step. And there are no queues for the slides, as in the Mytishchi KVA-KVA park.
On the day of departure, for the last time, I even ran out alone for a ride. It was running away - the park is somewhat removed from the main. array, and time was precious.
On the second day, meeting with the guide: they immediately try to sign you up for excursions and a free trip to the “factory” of local products that the Dominican Republic is famous for: rum, cocoa, coffee, chocolate, cigars, jewelry with larimar pebbles (Dominican exclusive) and turquoise (like not like everyone else).
They are trying to take you still “warm” until they have time to look around, because the tour operator’s prices are too high for excursions. All the same will be offered to you for more modest money by the guys who feed themselves on the territory of the hotel and the holders of souvenir shops on the outskirts of the hotel territory.
Don’t go to the “factory” either - pay dearly at three and lose half a day.
All products are, firstly, in the shops on the territory of the hotel, and secondly, on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 15 to 23 traders come. We traded up to 40-50% of the declared prices on this and that. For example, a pack of 10 cigars with a humidifier was dropped from 25 to $12-13. Pendant with stone from 30 to $15.
True, already in Russia, the wife rubbed the “silver” with alcohol - the silver moved away and a less noble metal appeared behind it.
Therefore, it will not be superfluous to take vodka to a meeting with a merchant to check the goods and the seller for lice.
We did not go on any excursions. Of those who went to Saona, one woman, when questioned, pretended to like it, but did not hide her disappointment well, while the other couple spoke honestly about the minuses, such as, for example, that a short section of the seabed is sandy at first, and then corals, shells - all scratched.
There are two shops on the outskirts of the hotel. Initially, a pseudo Russian store called Katyusha. Immediately behind it is the wretched-looking shop of our compatriot Konstantin.
Poorly owning in. moving, lovers of cats, dogs (especially puppies) and free wi-fi, I recommend Kostya's store. Everyone has a similar assortment, but Kostya's wife found more of what she needed.
Wi-fi is generally a salvation, because. Internet in the hotel is paid and quite expensive $4 - 30 minutes, 6 - 1 hour, 10 - a day, 40 - a week, 60 - two.
The trainer at the gym was offering $25 a week for less.
By the way, if you want to go to the gym, don't forget your running shoes. In slippers and sandals, the path is ordered.
On the beach and by the pools, workers walk all the time offering excursions, especially what they singsongly called “Boogie”: driving in open cars through the water, through the mud.
A friend went - she did not like being dirty.
Photographers look around: one day they offer a photo session near a palm tree, another photo with a small monkey or two cockatoos.
Of the minuses: the room, like someone in the review, is "shabby", in need of repair. The bathtub is rusty in places, the enamel on the toilet bowl has also peeled off at the place where the water flows. Not good for a five star hotel. As I understand it, the situation varies depending on the case. There are cases and newer ones. Two were completed with us. As the British said, with a cat. communicated (they are in Sirenis for the second time), it would be possible to ask for another number, but we looked at it through our fingers, because the rest of the pluses offset this minus, and they didn’t come to sit in the room.
There are also VIPs, the cat. sunbeds on the beach are stationary type of beds, and in the rooms with their words “bigger TV, everything’s cleaner”.
The room was cleaned regularly, but often they forgot to put the due soap, shampoo, water (underline as necessary). The locals are relaxed people. But this is not a problem. If something is missing, say in the lobby - they will bring you to your room.
Useful utensils included an iron and ironing board. The wife was helpful.
More email. coffee pot, but did not use - there was enough coffee in the restaurant. As the maid once put a bag of ground coffee, so he lay - they took him to Russia as a souvenir.
Do not bother with adapters from our plug to an American one - the socket in the room is universal.
Our case (Cocotal E) has an unfortunate location, because there was a concert hall nearby and our ears were delighted with the melodies and rhythms of the stage, regardless of our desire.
There was no animation for children in the hotel. Maybe I didn't search well.
The guide warned not to leave the hotel, because. the people in the Dominican Republic, although friendly, are not rich (especially the local "Tajiks" - Haitians) and armed.
One Englishman, on the contrary, assured that there was nothing wrong with independent travel: you take a taxi for $ 30 - the driver as a personal escort.
More. Drinks by the river all day - I tried cocktails. Of course, the local balm Bitner - Mamajuana. Bars in the foyer (it is also a lobby, reception), in the pools. The restaurant by the pool also has a bar and snacks, fruits.
The main restaurant - a buffet - hearty, a large assortment of dishes. The Dominican Republic is generally suitable for vacationers with children, because. the menu, one might say, is European, it does not abound with exotics. There was always soup for lunch.
Dish of the day: they always cut some giant beef or pork leg, chicken, fish in front of you. The fish was once huge - a head three times human. Chicken and turkey are delicious. In general, food is not like our chymosis. Even breast, cat. in our clean view it is dry and good only in a salad, there it melts in your mouth. Of the fruits, there were no avocados - not the season, but there were always delicious bananas and the most delicate mangoes, papaya, passion fruit and pineapples, as well as watermelons (no rind, not very sweet), subspecies of orange with a green rind and orange melons (not sweet). There was also sugarcane cut into strips. The pastries are delicious.
Desserts are quite decent, but we were spoiled in this regard by the Grand Resort in Limassol, whose desserts will be more refined.
National and international cuisines: every evening in the restaurant they hung out for greater clarity, respectively. flag. The cuisines were repeated: their own, Spain, Italy, USA, European and “from the chef”. On the day of Dominican cuisine, a "mermaid" with a decollete was seated at the entrance to the hall.
With seafood, however, a bummer. Not Thailand, as they say. At times there were shrimps, squid rings, scallops. Everything is not very good. Be careful with scallops - often fragments of shells fall on the tooth.
Of the minuses of the kitchen is that they like not to fry, not to cook. You can’t cut any steaks, you can’t chew them. Cauliflower crunches, but you want boiled.
They didn’t sign up for themed restaurants, didn’t go. At the buffet, take as much as you want and immediately, and in those, as they said, you order from the menu at random (as you understand, without pictures and in a foreign language), you don’t know what and you wait an hour until they bring you one dish.
