Hotel Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro 5 *: hotel location on the map, description

The hotel is part of a group of 7 hotels of the Bahia chain, located close to each other on the Arena Gorda beach in Dominican Republic. The beach is located in the Bavaro province of the Punta Cana region closer to the east of the island of Haiti, awarded blue flag UNESCO for the purity of water and sand.

The beach has developed infrastructure, densely built up with hotels, shops and catering outlets, equipped with water and motor sports centers. All hotels are well organized independent or sightseeing leisure.

The hotels of the network are located nearby, this allows you to use the common area and move freely on foot or by train between the villas, pools and restaurants.

Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro 5 * guest reviews display one of the most comfortable on the network, because it is the farthest from the coast (600 m). It is windy on the Arena Gorda beach, the waves rise especially high in the afternoon. When the tourists of this hotel flock to the beach in the morning, it is already beautiful, cleaned by the network employees from algae and jellyfish brought by waves from the ocean.

How to get to the hotel

It is enough to call the Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro 5 * hotel to a taxi or airport information service employee and the tourist will be directed exactly to the right address, for this it is not necessary to speak one of the international languages. The hotel is located just 20 km from Punta Cana Airport, where planes land with Russia.

Several options for how to get to the resort on your own:

Take advantage of taxi services. The average cost to the beaches of Bavaro is 40 USD. It is fixed according to the tariffs of the taxi fleet, there are no private cab drivers within the airport. Some sites offer to book a taxi in advance, then the driver will meet the passenger with a sign in the arrivals hall. In other cases, you can choose a taxi on the spot.
Rent a car. This can be done online in advance or at the desk of the rental company at the airport itself. The price will start from 2500 rubles per day and depend on the rental period and the size of the car.
Use a private "shuttle bus". Such carriers do not have the right to represent themselves at the airport, but they are still at the service of tourists in the back of the car park. Competent bargaining can reduce the price to 10-15 USD per person to any Bavaro resort.
take advantage bus route long distance for tourists light. The route Santo Domingo - Bavaro runs daily, from 7:00 to 16:00. The full flight is three hours. The bus arrives at Punta Cana Airport 2-2.5 hours after departure. A full ticket for the entire route costs about 8 USD (400 Dominican pesos). The downside of the option is the final stop about 4 km from the Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro.

Video of Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro Hotel

Overview of the Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro Hotel:

I stayed with my husband and daughter.
I, my husband and daughter 2.8 rested from 11/21/13 to 12/12/13 (21 days).
I want to immediately make a reservation that I am writing a review as a mother of a 2 year old child! I myself am not the first time in this country, with a child this is already the second vacation (though not in this country) and therefore there are impressions of the rest. And perhaps having gone to this hotel with a girlfriend, together with her husband or a cheerful company, the impressions would be different, since I would not care about a good sleep at lunchtime, at night, regimen, food and comfort!
The flight from Moscow flew during the day, my daughter played, walked on the plane, watched cartoons (saved the tablet), while we had a drink and a meal, slept for 2 hours, then they gave out a set of games in a box and that's it ... landing. Flying Transaero Boeing 747 took with an additional charge a place on the 2nd floor for business back and forth. The flight back was delayed for 2 hours, the flight was at 22, this is her time to sleep and she slept the whole flight. But changing the time zone for the child was very difficult. It seems to me that children up to a year are easier to bear, and it was a pity to look at older children - exhausted, swollen, pale, with sleepy eyes, they fell asleep at dinner right at the tables. Ours was the same, at night I could not sleep for 3-4 days normally, both upon arrival there and upon returning home. At home, in general, only today I slept the first night on December 19, and we flew in on 13! We decided not to torment the child anymore and look for an alternative, or the possibility of a vacation in the summer (due to the specifics of work, the husband cannot)
Upon arrival in Punta Cana. There was no queue, we skipped the line with the child. An individual transfer from the airport was ordered ... from this the mood began to deteriorate in anticipation of the vacation. And the vacation was long-awaited! We made a mistake and didn't provide transfer. The child passed out at the airport as soon as we received the stroller and we were driving to shared bus. Well, at least there were not many people and it was a 30-minute drive. But this does not apply to the hotel. The hotel was at 4 am in Moscow, in the DR, respectively, 20-00. We booked a room in Bavaro with a mark on the 2nd-3rd floor and with a surcharge for a superior room under the contract. Placement took 20-30 minutes. They brought me to the room building 71 on a delivery. Honestly, I have not experienced such a shock for a long time. As soon as they opened the door, a terrible smell of mold hit the nose, a huge mosquito sat on the floor, heaps of dead midges, mold was visible on the walls and ceiling of the bath and under the air conditioner. From this kind of numbers and fatigue, I wanted to cry and go back home! I put my sleeping daughter on the bed and the blanket HORRIBLE (this is not nitpicking) smelled of mold and everything seemed to be damp. And then the adjacent door opens and a girl from our plane enters, they were settled in the next room and we were separated by an adjacent door, the audibility was colossal, I heard what they were saying not loudly. My husband went to the reception twice and said that we would be relocated at least a night to spend the night in normal conditions. While he spent 3 hours figuring out how I didn’t try, the child and I were bitten by mosquitoes. At 7 am Moscow time, we were transferred to the Premier Hotel room, which is an order of magnitude cheaper than Bavaro, far enough from the sea on the 3rd floor of building 53. But many times better quieter and calmer than this Bavaro anthill, as it turned out later. Only the next day, after 2 pm, we were able to move to Bavaro in building 30, number 311. 5 minutes walk to the sea and 5 minutes to the restaurant. With a small child, this is convenient, since movement is mainly a stroller, either on foot or on dad's neck. A couple of times we went on a delivery, but while you are waiting, you will get there faster yourself. And there is still a chance that the place will not be free.
Commentary on the previous review: "The hotel is huge and there are a lot of people. But I don't understand people who are outraged by this - when you bought vouchers, did you even know that there were 4 large hotels on the same territory at once? I think you knew, so now you whine that there were a lot of people, it was your choice of hotel!
Read more at http://www.tophotels.ru/main/viewrate/?id=870330"
I was in a similar hotel and there were even more territories! Not only in this country, but also in other countries, and for the first time faced with such a situation! I read reviews about the hotel who rested with children. Once again I repeat that I am not whining, but I am indignant that when booking the hotel all the conditions were discussed, the notes were sent and the hotel confirmed everything, therefore, I think that they could immediately offer an alternative, since by our arrival on November 21 the hotel was not yet as crowded as, say, 5 days later! Well, I couldn’t understand why not offer an alternative right away, knowing that everything good rooms busy, even if at the Premiere (offered only after 3 hours of communication at the reception), even with an extra charge to Esmeralda, seeing that the family with a small child, we were the only ones at the reception with a baby. On the issue of communication, my husband was fluent in English.
Okay, the vacation started like from the second day.
ROOM is good spacious, large bed and sofa, plasma TV, ironing board, mini-bar, everything in the bathroom is in working condition - plumbing and hair dryer. We needed mainly water and beer for my husband, at the very beginning they reminded us a couple of times that they would replenish the mini-bar, then the cleaning lady herself clarified whether they had brought it or not. I'll add a photo of the number. Of the minuses, I can only note small fast-running ants, so they didn’t leave anything on the tables and kept food for the child in the refrigerator. When cleaning, they treat it with an insect spray, the smell remains disgusting if you are lucky enough to get into the room right away. It did not help for long - by the evening the ants were all in place. Cleaning for 5+, every day, regardless of the tip, everything is great. They change towels, wash the floor, clean the bathroom, the bed is made, the mini bar is replenished. A fairy tale!) Because of the child's regimen, they often left a "do not disturb" sign before lunch. But the audibility is terrible, the doors of the rooms slam shut only with a roar, it is not possible to close quietly, conversations are heard, cleaning ladies like to shout to each other from neighboring houses, communicating with each other. This is me about relaxing holiday at lunch! The child was asleep, of course, but it was annoying. Then they already found a calm, windless place on the beach and put them in a stroller for a daytime sleep. At night we went to bed at 21-22, often at 23 we received a phone call from the guest service with questions, the guide or electricians knocked on the door, were we all right (the sign - do not disturb was ignored). And you won’t sleep at lunchtime and there’s no peace at night! And by the end of the month, some kind of summer season began in general - for three days they cut the lawns, blew off the leaves, the transport went to collect garbage. Noise, vanity .. didn’t smell like paradise!
TERRITORY large green, with beautiful green lawns, palm trees, flowers. But everything spoils the constant movement of delivery cars, service vehicles and mopeds, which instead of moving along the main three roads for traffic, cutting off, drive 20 km per hour along the pedestrian zone. You just have time to jump away from them, grabbing the child! EXHAUST SMELL TERRIBLE! Somehow, after the rain, she walked down the street in slates - then she barely washed her feet from black diesel fuel or fuel oil (I don’t understand which of these machines is dripping). The child constantly had to either be carried in a stroller, or held by the hand or pulled. Walking through the territory is not possible! This is a huge minus for the hotel. There are three main roads - trains drive along them (the child called them that), but it turns out that children can safely walk and run on the territory only in the lobby.
For children, a small water park (were there only once, the water is colder than in the sea) kids club (pool with balls, cartoons, games, playground) Came with my daughter, if there was bad weather or it was time before dinner). Works until 17:00. I watched the animation in the club: they don’t really look at the children and don’t play, the children are on their own - they look for something to do or watch cartoons, eat popcorn chips. I didn’t understand why children often ran around with wet heads - fans and candey work there, then I saw a kids club near the water park. Russian language animators have just begun to learn. And my daughter liked the playground behind the kids club: slides, houses, swings, wheelchairs, tables and chairs and sand toys. Often came and always had children. It was fun! After leaving, they took their sand toys there. After dinner, dance to incendiary music and run around the Christmas tree in the lobby. This is where children's entertainment on the territory ends (the sea does not count) and we didn’t really need them - our daughter fell asleep after dinner. You can also see ducks and turtles on the way to the sea, they swim in the swamp. We called it that - an abandoned piece of the coastal zone on the territory of the hotel. The smell from it in the heat is not pleasant. A swamp just from which there are a lot of mosquitoes. The fumigator in the room worked 21 days 24 hours a day. Only after a week, when people and children were terribly bitten, they began to work on the territory of the hotel - it became much smaller and it was possible to sleep with the balcony ajar. The air conditioner is very noisy, turned on when we left the room. At night it became terribly humid and stuffy, the child did not sleep well, and you open the window - mosquitoes. Humidity 70%!
The hotel was overcrowded with people, at that moment a real epidemic of orvi began! The whole hotel was sneezing and coughing - adults and children, the staff also met! You open the window in the morning and instead of birds singing and the sound of the wind, someone sneezes or coughs ... everywhere in the restaurant, on the beach, in the lobby, people went sneezing for a week, with red noses from snot, and then a terrible cough appeared! From the beginning, the daughter began to snort, the next day the husband. Temperature 37 for one day and weakness. It didn't feel like acclimatization as we had been there for a week now and the fact that so many people in the hotel got sick was more like a real epidemic. I had symptoms already after the recovery of my daughter and husband, when we were already told about seasonal SARS, that local children had been ill and apparently the staff brought it to the hotel. True, my symptoms were only 2-3 days and the people at the hotel were already on the mend, although before our departure, sneezing and coughing vacationers began to meet again, my husband also joked that he would rather go home from this infirmary.
BEACH AND POOL The first 5 days were great, there were not many people, but then just a lot of people settled and the hotel became like an anthill. After breakfast, there is no place to find a place by the pool anymore, everything is hung with towels. At the same time, we had breakfast early at 7-8 o'clock due to the child's regimen. Sunbeds by the pool on the beach as well. Sunbeds by the sea could be found, but due to strong wind with a child, I wanted to find a place next to the strip of Esmeralda sunbeds - there the wind was less strong and it was comfortable with the child. That is, people get up at 6 am and take sunbeds. Until the last moment, we tried not to resort to such things, but we got tired of running along the beach with a stroller and a child in search of a place. The last 5 days were also busy. There was an opportunity to put the child to sleep on the beach in a stroller and relax by ourselves for a couple of hours. It is quiet there, unlike the noise and din at the pool. The beach is normal, but a sunbed on a sunbed - I'm not happy, there were cigarette butts in the sand, but this is already on the conscience of vacationers. The attendants clean and try to keep it clean, they remove algae, decorate palm trees, water and level the sand, arrange sunbeds. Photo coastline I think the hotel is a total scam. The waves and wind were all 21 days, so my daughter jumped on the waves in her husband's arms, and went for a swim in small paddling pools in the pool near the beach. It often rained during the day and after it the sand was cold and the wind was not very good for children good climate I believe, and besides, 70% humidity. We thought we were unlucky with the weather, but on our return we found out that it was raining in Tenerife and our friends swam one day, and in Egypt it was 7 degrees and snow.
FOOD If I had a rest alone, I would give up on everything ... For food I put not 4, but 3! But here even I was not particularly impressed by the semi-green tomatoes and undercooked raw vegetables (boiled vegetables - carrots, cauliflower, etc., it is impossible to eat). For the first week, I still ate a delicious fish myself, but then it just disappeared and turned into some kind of shapeless mess and terribly salty. But the porridge at breakfast, on the contrary, improved, from the beginning they put cinnamon in it, the children spat and mine also ate without enthusiasm, and then the cinnamon was already standing separately, and the porridge was delicious milk. Saved breakfast cereals with milk and yoghurts, they were very tasty, waffles, pancakes and pancakes with all kinds of jams, scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs (I didn’t take fried eggs until black), croissants and muffins overeating. For breakfast and lunch, I could find something for the child. At the very least, lunch was some kind of vegetable puree soup that could be given to a child, the second was on some kind of smelly meat broth. They have a children's menu: terrible sausages, french fries and disgusting hamburger patties for breakfast lunch and dinner. There is no vegetarian table, I already wrote about raw vegetables that cannot be eaten. It was a couple of times delicious eggplant and carrots. A couple of times in 21 days! For dinner, the child ate mostly macaroni and cheese and watermelon for the entire vacation. She loves chicken from me, but she didn’t take it in her mouth there, I tried it myself a couple of times, so-so, with some kind of incomprehensible aftertaste, the grilled chicken was delicious a couple of times. Sausages are generally of terrible quality, delicious stewed meat sometimes served, gave it to my daughter. Undercooked rice, specific, my child doesn’t eat this, a couple of times I came across delicious. C-grade fruits: watermelons are very tasty, pineapple too, the rest are so-so, mango disappeared on the 5th day and was never seen again, bananas if you get up early for the opening tomorrow at 7 o’clock you will be lucky! Juices for breakfast are freshly squeezed, very diluted with water. Dinner mostly ate pasta. Ice cream is delicious, desserts are so-so. The wine is much better than the cocktails throughout the hotel. All cocktails are terrible, if you give money something that is far reminiscent of the truth, they will pour you. Therefore, from alcohol they used wine in a restaurant, beer or bought rum in a room. In a restaurant, you had to constantly pay attention to what you eat and drink from .. the plate is stained, and a ton of lumps floats in the glass of water or wine poured to you (the impression is that they wipe each glass after washing with a cotton rag and remain in the villi glass, which you then drink. The child made tea in the room or took juice in a thermos for children.
Delicious brewed coffee only in the lobby and two more vending machines in the bars on the beach. At breakfast, the waiters serve coffee that is not tasty, if you go to pour it yourself, then it is even more or less pleasant. but you don’t really run around with a child, so we drank both and sometimes spoiled ourselves with delicious food in the lobby.
A week later, the queues for pasta and fruit began, it generally killed me! In the restaurant itself, the air conditioner is turned on and it’s pretty cool, there are a lot of mosquitoes - they took a sweater for their daughter. By the end of the first week, the restaurant looked like a market, for such a large restaurant it was necessary to make two dining areas, not one, because people walk around with plates, dodging each other like obstacles, constantly like ants along the paths between tables one after another and there is no way to sit in a calm atmosphere. And the attendants are in large volume, and all this resembles some kind of eatery in the market, rather than a restaurant. The rumble, fuss, clatter of dishes - they tried to quickly feed the child, something to eat themselves and leave this place.
The staff is great, quickly cleans the tables and escorts you to a free clean table, depending on how many seats you need - I liked it. Always happy to help if suddenly you need something for the child. Somehow she asked me to pour water into a grated carrot and sprinkle sugar - they looked at me with surprise! They love to slow down for a minute at the children's tablet and look. Well, wait a minute!))) In general, the attitude towards children is excellent, they love children, they are happy to communicate, and by the end of the vacation my daughter greeted everyone and learned a couple of phrases in Spanish. There are plenty of highchairs, always found themselves or brought by the waiters, both in the main restaurant and in the bars on the beach. For lunch, we often ate at bars on the beach, but there is less choice and there are no soups at all. From the hustle and bustle of the general restaurant once managed to escape to the Italian. I advise you to immediately sign up for all possible alacartas upon arrival, since the registration was a week in advance! There was no particular benefit for the child, only tomatoes were sweeter, and so again she had to eat pasta.
SOUVENIRS There are shops on site where you can buy souvenirs, inflatable toys and sand for a child. Everyone bought on site - rum, cigars, magnets, coffee, T-shirts, beach bags. My husband walked along the beach to the local market, but said - everything is cheaper there, of course, but of such quality that it’s not pleasant to give such a gift! On the beach I bought two beautiful shells, a large white-pink one and a screw "tornado" bargained for $20 both. The first price tag was $40! I was told on the island of Saona you can take each for $ 5, but for me it was already a normal price) In the store at the hotel they were of worse quality and for $ 30 for two pieces. I put it in my luggage wrapped in paper and a few packages, on the advice that the clothes in the suitcase would not smell like sweat. It is possible to export. They don't check suitcases, they just weigh them. Only hand luggage is illuminated.
TOTAL despite the fact that children on the territory this hotel it was not that much, but sooooooo much, I think it is not quite suitable for children's recreation. Although they offer highchairs and even strollers in a large volume, but the lack free zone from cars, as well as exhaust gases and dirt, which makes it not very pleasant to walk around the hotel. Also, a terrible children's table and a vegetarian menu for the hotel are all a huge minus! Will not go again and will not recommend to friends. And in general, now after such a trip, I agree with those who write - a long flight, a change in the time zone, humidity, the lack of qualified medical specialists are all not for relaxing with a child! The Dominican Republic, it seems to me, is good for two, for a cheerful company, for the rest of adult married couples in retirement. But in this hotel heavenly delight you will not experience!
Thank you all for your attention, I hope my review will be useful to someone. My husband Ali's review was brief, mine will be longer, but like me, he wrote it from the point of view of a parent taking his child on vacation and dreaming of resting himself a little after a half-year of work. Comments that are not relevant will be ignored! Good mood to you all)

Familiarize yourself with the law on the official website of the President of the Russian Federation Excellent hotel - the whole truth!!! + tips.
We rested with a large family composition, I was with my wife and a child of 14 years old and parents from July 10 to July 21, 2019. And now about everything in order, with interesting nuances that I did not find in the reviews.

The paramount moment is a Spanish-speaking country, English is spoken badly and not everyone, do not be too lazy to download an off-line translator (I downloaded Google, dictionaries are downloaded separately - 100% understanding)

Second moment - sea stars it is impossible to export (a very large fine), alcohol 3 liters per adult; in a suitcase no more than 3 liters per 1 suitcase, even if they are combined, buy later in duty free.

The third point - no prejudice towards compatriots was noticed, everyone was served equally and friendly. Tips are loved, if they deserve it, let's - then you will be the number 1 person for them.

FLIGHT: We took the tour from Pegasus, respectively, flew airline Nordwind. Baggage allowance per person - suitcase 15 kg + hand luggage 5 kg. If you are flying together with one suitcase, apply for an association and you will get 30 kg per suitcase. The planes are normal - Boeings, there is enough legroom, they feed 1 time and this is during the flight at 12 o'clock, the rest of the time there is water; juices - 2 times per flight, there is no sweet soda like cola at all (additional meals, as well as pre-registration and seats must be ordered through the company's website for additional money, you will not be able to do this in the cabin or take food with you - we took it, so we didn’t bathe); once again we encountered that there is no on-board entertainment system with screens on such long-haul flights on airplanes (previously Transaero flew - they always were) - take care of your leisure time in advance, as it was a surprise for many and people wandered around the cabin and went crazy, this time we were ready for this and downloaded films and TV shows in advance (for Apple devices, I advise you to use the online cinema, we downloaded on Okko); if you want to good places Arrive at check-in 4 hours in advance. Plaids are given only to children, then on a residual basis. Otherwise, everything is fine, the attendants (stewardesses) are not kind, they walked around the cabin like bloodhounds back and forth, almost looked into their mouths, looked for those who wanted to drink and made comments to everyone with or without, ASA pilots.

There is no need to change money, all mutual settlements in the country for tourists take place in dollars.

HOTEL: The road from the airport to the hotel is 30-40 minutes. When checking in, they showed possible options for the rooms to be nearby, took building No. 32 on the second floor - it was in the middle with an equal distance from both the sea and the reception where the main restaurant and bar are located. No bribe was asked.

ROOMS: They gave two rooms: everything worked in one, almost everything worked in the other, after contacting the claim manager everything was quickly eliminated, even the minibar was replaced, which did not cool well. The rooms are chic and spacious, a large double bed with a canopy, a sofa, a coffee table with two chairs, a free safe, a TV (2 Russian channels), a drip coffee machine, a tea and coffee set, air conditioning, a fan over the bed, a minibar (beer, Pepsi, Pepsi Light, Sprite, Fanta, water - only 2 bottles - replenished daily, though in the first days after claims), a balcony - a table plus 2 chairs, who cares about having an iron and an umbrella . In the bathroom there is a toilet, a hairdryer and a jacuzzi bath, bathroom amenities (soap, shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, cap, toothbrush and paste) were replenished regularly. Towel - ALL changed daily. Cleaning norms - wet, the bed is filled and garbage is collected. American sockets, adapters were taken with them, they cost $ 4-5.

BLIPS/MOSQUITOES: The area is treated daily. We took a fumigator and sprays from midges and mosquitoes with us - it helped us.

INTERNET: WI FI in the hotel is free, the speed is excellent, it works only in the lobby and requires daily reconnection and there is a paid one - $ 9 - it works everywhere, the speed is excellent.

TERRITORY, POOLS: The complex consists of 7 hotels, we could use the infrastructure of 2 more (Punta Cana and Turquesa). Although the infrastructure is large, everything works clearly and smoothly: the hotel area is beautiful, palm trees and flowers are everywhere, everything is washed, polished, lawns and gardens are cared for, polished and cleaned. The territory is huge, in the middle there is a pond with mangroves where ducks, herons, fish and turtles live. There is a sports bar with free billiards. On the territory of Turquesa there is a water park for children, ankle-deep; almost reaching it is a sports zone: minigolf, Bungee trampoline, an obstacle course on trees, a tennis court.

Electric cars run around the territory, there are many routes, the frequency does not make you wait more than 1-2 minutes. There are four pools, with bars. There are a lot of people in them, they clean them in the morning with a vacuum cleaner and fall asleep with bleach.

RESTAURANT: I advise you to go to the main one, there is many times more choice of dishes. Nutrition: mango, papaya and pineapple all day long, very tasty and sweet; melons and watermelons - unsweetened; ice cream 6-8 types for lunch and dinner; seafood every day in one form or another; dorado fish daily; salted salmon for breakfast; freshly squeezed juices - 6 types daily for breakfast (dilute 20-30% with water); jamon all day; pizzas and burgers - lunch and dinner. Lobsters and lobsters - NO! Dinners every day are themed: Italian, Dominican, Gala dinner, Spanish, Mexican, American, Asian. We liked the Asian one the most (a lot of different sushi and rolls) and the Gala dinner (shrimps, mussels, crab claws - one BUT, you won’t be able to eat them because they don’t give tongs for them, but they do in the Fish a la carte restaurant - you have to ask). I liked the service, they are escorted to the table, served quickly, all drinks: water, wine, beer, cola, fanta, cocktails, rum is brought by the waiter on request, just order as soon as you were given a table, otherwise you will wait 10-15 minutes until they bring it.

Once a week, an evening is held where they make free pina colada in pineapple and coconut milk in coconut, optionally add rum.

BARS: at each pool, but I would note only two: the one at the reception - the lobby bar: there were paid and free drinks (Brugal rum, Grants whiskey, J&B, Martini, Mama Juana, local beer and wine, etc.) coffee was made from a coffee machine - not really. Cocktails are not ice, most of all I liked the banana mom. Pina colada was poured ready, like many other cocktails. Nothing is done in the shaker and mixer. And a good bar at the exit to the beach, where the bartenders still sell alcohol and coffee from under the floor: they took Brugal and Mama Juana from them - $ 10 per 1 liter.

OCEAN, BEACH: It is beautiful - the Atlantic, turquoise, but only early in the morning until 8 o'clock. Then algae, especially after dinner. There were days when there were fewer of them, there were like in an overgrown pond), but they were daily, now this is the norm and an integral part of the beaches of the Dominican Republic. Although when we were on the excursion on the wild beach of Macau, it is located in a lagoon 30 km from ours - they were not there, but they asked people from other hotels on excursions - everyone has them. Last year at the same time we were in Cuba - there was nothing like that. Yes, they are removed, but the water is cloudy because of them, visibility is half a meter, it is not possible to swim with a mask. The beach is sandy, the entrance is gradual - for kids lafa. There are plenty of sun loungers, no one takes anything for the future and early in the morning, half is free throughout the day. On the beach for free: kayaks, canoes. Everything else - cheesecakes, bananas, parasailing, etc. starts from $20. Various souvenir vendors walk along the beach. Everything except money was left on the beach - nothing was lost at all.

ANIMATION: During the day on the beach and by the pools, in the evening shows in the theater and in the lobby bar, live music and dancing.

ALA CART RESTAURANTS: There are 6 of them, we went to fish (seafood) - I advise!, Japanese, grill, Italian, Mexican - I advise!

EXCURSIONS: Republic Pro: 1. We took a jeep safari - $ 134 for an adult and $ 67 for a child, as everywhere we went by car, they didn’t spare a car, they didn’t ask for a license, Jeep Wrangler automatic cars - the tour seemed unreasonably expensive; 2. Saona: $ 59 per adult, there on a speedboat with a canopy, swimming along the way in the lagoon where starfish live, there are really a lot of them, we also saw a stingray, take a mask with you, then the beach with a bar included and lunch, and yes they really come to the island first - snow-white sand, turquoise water and not one waterweed), back on a catamaran to music and cocktails - I really liked the tour.

I don’t advise taking excursions through guides, everything is the same only 1.5 times more expensive. I also don’t advise you to go to their pocket store - a free transfer, the guide assured that the prices are the best in the Dominican Republic, in fact it turned out to be 2 times more expensive than in the shops at the hotel - I’m not kidding - we were SHOCKED, it’s good that we monitored the prices and didn’t buy anything from them, only silver earrings with larimar - they have a choice of norms, very dumb they sell on the market and on the beach and not in silver yet. We have a lot of shops and a market in our hotel, you will find everything cheaper there, you can bargain by discounting the price by 2-3 times.

DEPARTURE: They brought shells and local rum with them. The import of alcohol into the Russian Federation of strong drinks is 3 liters, we took more, no one checked. The duty-free prices for local rum are very high, but we knew this and therefore bought the Cuban Havana Club, the prices for it are almost the same as in Cuba) - $ 13 for 0.7, and in terms of quality it is in no way inferior to the Dominican. They did the same when they were in the Dominican Republic earlier.

There were rains, all the same, the rainy season, but only at night, the humidity is normal, the temperature during the day is 30-35 C.

In general, they were satisfied with the rest, got a sea of sun, emotions and positive. Anyone with questions will be happy to answer.
