Here's my review of our Dominican Republic trip.
We stayed at the majestic colonial.
Our room was really nice.If you plan to go here,the all inclusive is pretty good.
The buffet,that is open most of the time is vast...although limited.
The fire took out the seafood/steakhouse beach restaurant.and if you wanted to have a meal
on the other side (majestic excellence) you could reserve a restaurant there.
It was a bit over the top commercial for my liking.You could take $100 American in $1 bills,
and still come off as generous.I went on 1 venture to swim with dolphins on a bus that I thought the drive train was going to fall out of.It poured rain and everyone with I phones and cameras were freaking out because it leaked like a sieve.The countryside is filthy with plastic bottles and crap everywhere.Most locals have a weapon of some sort (machete,rifle,knife)on their belt.It was weird,but they seem to appreciate the tourists with a hearty
hola and a big smile.I never got sick,but a few of the people we were with did.I made the mistake of drinking a lot of their coffee.You are not supposed to drink the tap water,brush your teeth and no singing in the shower.
ok enough about that.The beach was a bit crowded but it was pretty busy to find a talapa to hide under.
The beach vendors offered (fake) Cuban cigars ,jewellery,carvings and twice cocaine.Both times the coke offers came as I stood alone on the beach,they had official looking staff shirts on.
We got ripped off big time at the luggage counter,at the airport going home,they made us pay $80 for being 4KG overweight.
There was dogs circling our legs,and I did not feel like arguing.
But it pissed me off bigtime...then it's a big food court with a Wendys and crap.
$6 for a pizza slice....grrrr I just wanted out of this God forsaken country.
Oh yea ....it seems to rain every day from about 3pm till 4
weirdest part for me was going out at 330 am to our balcony and its warm outside
My biggest piss off was that the beer sucks .They have President and Brama...president tastes a bit better,
but it all sucked and if I wanted to drink I had to drink liquor,which is not really me.
There were tons of Canadians there,I think they should add a microbrewery pub to keep us all happy.
