All,
Really excited about going on this 2 week holiday with my partner. We're a young couple and have been to plenty of countries around Europe, but until now we have never ventured outside of it!
I've just got a few question's and if any of you don't mind, I would like some feedback!
The Hotel has some good write up's which is good to see, with the only (very slight) down point seems to be the beach. Ive just got one question about tipping...
Q1.
Here in the UK we tip like most e.g. taxi drivers, waiting staff in restaurants, Hair salon...etc, but I've heard to bring a lot of dollar bills to tip everyone with. Who should I tip in the resort and how much? The maids for example typically would I tip them everyday? Bar staff??
We Plan to go to Ocean World as this seems to be the best place to swim with Dolphin's, I read a few post about this and was pleased with the responses. My mum swam with Dolphin's in Antiqa a few months again and said it was amazing!!
Q2a.
How long do you get to swim with the dolphin's?
Q2b.
Does anyone know who much the photo's cost they take?
Also we have been recommended Paradise Beach in Sosua - Have heard it is meant to be the most amazing beach in the World (you tell me!!!). He also said you can hire 'Secretaries" at Sosua..
Q3.
Has anyone used Secretaries to look after them at the beach and if so how much to hire them? Are they honest?
Q4.
What is the beach like? Will I be able to hire a lounger? How Much?
I was also wondering if there were any impressive casino's close to where we are staying in Costa Dorada (Merian Coral, Hitlon).
Q5.
Has anyone got some names of Casino's near where we're staying and what are their names??
Also finally (sorry!!), I would love to go out on a boat trip for some fishing.
Q6.
Where can I go for a day's fishing and approx how much does it cost?
Really sorry about all the question's - just want to do a little bit of homework so we can make the most of our stay and dont end up missing out! Holidays/vacation's go by so quick!!
Thanks everyone in advance. Reading other post's you are all very helpful!
