I stayed at the Grand Flamenco for the NYear's 2002, because I wanted to experience the new year once away from Toronto. I will never pay that kind of money again for this time of the year (more than double for single supplement). The hotel did not do very much to celebrate this "party" time of the year. Everyone was in the lobby as the count down began, I never been with such a bunch of tourist who did not know how to party, boring. Thank God, my DR friends and I went out to party after they finished work. I was told the next day they did something at the beach, but I don't know what, there was no notification posted in the resort, so how would one know.
My doctor also spend N.Y's at the resort where you will be staying the same time I was there. She told me there was a very nice dinner for everyone, but for a real party, what they did, because there was a group of 50 doctors. The got a stereo system, bought it down to the beach, and had their own party which everyone joined, dancing in their gowns on the beach. They were able to get liquor for their party. She said they had the time of their life.
My friend at Melia Caribe/Tropical told me they had a big beach party the same year. So maybe a few years later, the resorts may be doing something more, all I know is that I was not impressed at Flamenco for the New Year that I vacation there. Man, It's a New Year, you party like you never party before, time and money spent to enjoy. Overall, I did have a great time, but I'm going to have a good time no matter where I go. Live life with no regrets.
