Just got home last night, and what a wonderful trip!
1. It's absolutely stunningly beautiful, beach and resort
2. The staff members are the best. Truly. (Alexander is a great bartender!) And way to many more who were great as well!
3. The food is great, from Sea side grill, to the beach side grill. The buffet has plenty of tasty choices.
4. Very clean. (Huge priority to me personally)
5. Always ask for plenty of water if you go through it like we do(dehydrated after Sun and cocktails) the rooms are a little shy on water in the fridge.
6. Bring plenty of smaller bills if you tip like we do. Difficult to get change.
7. and most importantly, if you can, the bavaro runners excursion is amazing. Best way to get a real feel for how the Dominican republic really is culturally. It was a blast and we learned so very much about the people (who are so kind and happy), the food, the city life, education, and so much more. All while having a great time with our guide Rudy. It really made our trip.
8. Beware of the mamajuana, it's delicious!
