We rested with a large family structure, my wife and my 14-year-old child and my parents from July 10 to 21, 2019. And now let's talk about everything in order, with interesting nuances that I did not find in the reviews.
The paramount point is that the country is Spanish-speaking, English is spoken poorly and not everyone is too lazy to download an offline translator (I downloaded Google, dictionaries are downloaded separately - 100% understanding)
The second point is that you cannot take out starfish (a very large fine), alcohol is 3 liters per adult; in a suitcase no more than 3 liters per 1 suitcase, even if they are combined, then buy in addition in duty free.
The third point is that there was no prejudice towards compatriots, everyone was served equally and friendly. Tipping is loved, if you deserve it, give it - then you will be persona # 1 for them.
FLIGHT: The tour was taken from Pegasus, respectively, flew by Nordwind airline. Luggage allowance per person - suitcase 15 kg + hand luggage 5 kg. If the two of you are flying with one suitcase - submit an application for unification and you will have 30 kg per suitcase. The planes are normal - Boeings, there is enough legroom, they are fed once 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 preliminary registration and seats must be ordered through the company's website for additional money, in the cabin you won't be able to do this or take food with you - we took, therefore did not steam); once again faced that for such long-distance flights there is no on-board entertainment system with screens on planes (Transaero used to fly - they always were) - take care of your leisure time in advance, as it was a surprise for many and people were loitering around the cabin and going crazy, we this time we were ready for this and pumped up films and series in advance (for Apple devices I advise you to use the online cinema, we downloaded it on Okko); if you want to good places arrive for registration in advance - 4 hours in advance. Blankets are given only to children, then on a leftover basis. Otherwise, everything is fine, the attendants (stewardesses) are not helpful, they walked around the cabin like bloodhounds back and forth, almost looked in their mouths, looking for those who wanted to drink and made comments to everyone about or without, the ACA pilots.
There is no need to change money, all settlements in the country for tourists are made in dollars.
HOTEL: The road from the airport to the hotel is 30-40 minutes. When checking in, they showed possible options so that the rooms were nearby, they took building number 32 on the second floor - it was in the middle with an equal distance both from the sea and from the reception where the main restaurant and bar are located. No bribes were asked.
NUMBERS: They gave two numbers: in one everything worked, in the other - almost everything, after contacting the claim manager, they quickly eliminated everything, even replaced the minibar, 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, tea and coffee set, air conditioning, a fan above the bed, a minibar (beer, Pepsi , Pepsi light, sprite, fanta, water - only 2 bottles each - replenished daily, though in the first days after the claims), balcony - table plus 2 chairs, for whom it is important to have an iron and an umbrella. In the bathroom there is a toilet, hairdryer and jacuzzi bath, bathroom accessories (soap, shower gel, shampoo, body lotion, cap, toothbrush and paste) were replenished regularly. Towel - EVERYTHING changed daily. Cleaning standards are damp, the bed is made and the garbage is collected. The sockets are American, they took adapters with them, they cost $ 4-5.
MOSCOWS / COMARS: The area is processed 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 a 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). The infrastructure is large, but everything works clearly and harmoniously: the territory of the hotel is beautiful, everywhere there are palm trees, flowers, everything is washed, polished, care for the lawns and the garden, they make them shine and clean. The territory is huge, in the middle there is a pond with mangrove thickets 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, a sports area: minigolf, Bungee trampoline, obstacle course in the trees, tennis court.
Electric cars run across 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 are cleaned in the morning with a vacuum cleaner and covered with bleach.
RESTAURANT: I \u200b\u200badvise you to go to the main one, there the choice of dishes is many times greater. Diet: mango, papaya and pineapple all day long, very tasty and sweet; melons and watermelons - savory; 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 (diluted by 20-30% with water); jamon all day; pizzas and burgers - lunch and dinner. Lobsters and Amars - NO! Dinners every day themed: Italian, Dominican, Gala dinner, Spanish, Mexican, American, Asian. We liked most of all the Asian (many different sushi and rolls) and Gala dinner (shrimps, mussels, crab claws - one BUT, you cannot eat them, since tongs are not given for them, but in the Rybny a la carte restaurant they do ask). I liked the service, they were escorted to the table, quickly served, all drinks: water, wine, beer, cola, fanta, cocktails, rum is brought by the waiter upon request, just order as soon as you were given the table, otherwise you will wait 10-15 minutes until they bring it.
Once a week, an evening is held where free pina colada in pineapple and coconut milk in coconut are made, rum is added if desired.
BARS: at each pool, but I would note only two: the one at the reception - the lobby bar: there were free and paid drinks (rum Brugal, Grants whiskey, J&B, Martini, Mama Juana, local beer and wine, etc.) coffee was made from the coffee machine - not very much. Cocktails are not ice, banana mom liked the most. Pina colada was poured ready, like many other cocktails. The shaker and mixer do nothing. And a good bar at the exit to the beach, where bartenders also sell alcohol and coffee from under the floor: they took Brugal and Juana's mother - $ 10 per liter.
OCEAN, BEACH: It is beautiful - Atlantic, turquoise, but only early in the morning until 8 o'clock. Then seaweed, especially after lunch. There were days when there were fewer of them, there were like in an overgrown pond), but they were every day, 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 Macau beach, it is located in the lagoon 30 km from ours - they were not there, and they asked people from other hotels on excursions - everyone has. Last year, at the same time, we were in Cuba - there was nothing of the kind. Yes, they are being removed, but the water is cloudy because of them, the visibility is half a meter, it is not possible to swim with a mask. The beach is sandy, the entrance is gradual - for Lafa kids. There are plenty of sun loungers, no one takes anything for the future and from the early morning, half is free throughout the day. Free on the beach: kayaks, canoes. Everything else - cheesecakes, bananas, parasailing, etc. starts at $ 20. Various souvenir merchants walk along the beach. They left everything on the beach except money - nothing was lost nirazu.
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-KART RESTAURANTS: There are 6 of them, we went to the 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 elsewhere we came off in a car, we didn’t regret the car, we didn’t ask for our rights, Jeep Wrangler cars were automatic - the excursion 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 still saw a stingray, take a mask with you, then a beach with an included bar and lunch, and yes they really come to the island first - snow-white sand, turquoise water and more than one waterweed), back on the catamaran to music and cocktails - I really liked the excursion.
I do not recommend taking excursions through guides, everything is the same only 1.5 times more expensive. I also do not 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 stores at the hotel - I'm not joking - we were in a SHOCK, it's good that we monitored the prices and they didn't have anything bought, only silver earrings with larimar - they have a choice of norms, they are very dumb they sell on the market and on the beach and not in silver. We have a lot of shops and a market in our hotel, you will find everything there and cheaper, you can bargain with a price drop 2-3 times.
DEPARTURE: Brought with them shells and local rum. The import of alcohol into the Russian Federation of hard liquor - 3 liters, we took more, no one checked. 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 like in Cuba) - $ 13 for 0.7, and in quality it is in no way inferior to the Dominican. They also did when they were in the Dominican Republic earlier.
There were rains, after all, the rainy season, but only at night, the humidity was normal, the temperature during the day was 30-35 C.
In general, we were satisfied with the rest, received a sea of \u200b\u200bsun, emotions and positive. Anyone who has questions will be happy to answer.

Beach of the Grand Bahia Principe Bavaro Hotel
First line of the beach. Sand beach, belongs to the hotel. Access to the beach, sun beds and awnings are free. The entrance to the sea is shallow.
We bought a tour to the Dominican Republic from Natalie-Tour, we chose the hotel quite quickly, although the choice, I can tell you, is huge and all hotels are decent. We stopped at Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro 5 *. And, in principle, they did not regret it, although there was a small nuance, but more on that later. Fly to the Dominican Republic for 12 hours, it's very long, at the end of the flight you already count the minutes, and it doesn't help that the stewards at Aeroflot are first-class, and that they were fed 2 times and well, and that there was a large selection of films and the TV was excellent - all the same about the vision you get tired in one place. But you get full pleasure when you get out of the plane - and everything around is bathed in the sun and so your soul feels good after cloudy Moscow. We went through customs, paid a $ 10 fee, filled out the form, everything was fast and smooth, and now our bus and after an hour and a half of looping through the streets of Punta Canne we are on the spot - in front of us is Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro. At the reception, too, everything was issued to us quickly, despite the fact that we arrived at 9.00, and check-in at 15.00 ($ 30 did their job !!). But here the same nuance happened - we were settled in a room on the 1st floor, and it smelled of mold and dampness, in the same rooms on the second floor this was not. Otherwise, everything in the hotel was impressive - the hotel territory (it goes perpendicular to the shore), a bar, a dining room, restaurants - everything is within walking distance, but there are also buses that run there that deliver to the ocean (they are free)., There is also a chic pool paths to the ocean and a water park for children. The safe can be rented, it costs $ 4 per day, there is Internet near the reception, but rather weak. I liked the all-inclusive system in Bavaro, the food is delicious, the drinks good quality, I especially liked the cocktails, Pinhokolata is prepared here in pineapple - very tasty. A lot of all sorts of goodies - cakes, etc., which also made me happy, I have a sweet tooth !!! Well, animation. The guys worked very, very well - they put on shows every evening, and also held events right on the beach by the ocean, and not like in other hotels on the pool. Everything was very funny, although they only knew Russian. Come on and Hello! There is also a casino on the territory - 3 poker tables, 2 Black Jacks, 2 roulettes and machines, my husband liked it .. In addition, for all guests of the Gran Bahia hotel, free canoe rental is provided. But I do not recommend taking excursions from a guide, they cost twice as much as on the beach. And although the beach excursions were with a Spanish-speaking guide, everything was clear to us without words. In general, if you are faced with a choice - where to go on vacation - choose the Dominican Republic, a hotel on Gran Bahia Principe Bavaro, you will not regret, we have already checked everything !!!
