Well, my husband and I are back from the Dominican Republic. Our stay there was great. We spent 7 days - from Feb 9 to 16. The weather was great, a few clowdy days, but all in all, lots of sunshine. I was very concerned before leaving, but once there, it was OK. I would agree that it is a 3 star hotel. But the rooms were very clean, large, and I mean very large. King size bed, living room with TV, large balcony overlooking the ocean. I would rate the rooms at 4 star. What a beautiful site. When we first got there, the a/C in our room wasn't working. We requested someone to come and look at it, and instead, within 15 minutes we had another room with A/C working quite well. The beach is small, but that didn't bother us. The water was a beautiful green/aqua colour and it was never cold. Very clean. We spend all of our time at the beach. The pool is a good size. Don't forget, this is a small hotel, approx. 50-60 rooms. You must take this into consideration when booking. The service, well what can I say. We were welcomed and served like royalty. Sandy, the bartender, always filling up our glass with cold Presidente, rum or whatever you were drinking. Malta, Alexandra, Georgi and others who were there to entertain us, kept us busy with Salsa lessons everyday, spanish lessons, everyday, volleyball tournements. They were quite nice and appreciated their hospitality. As for the food, well the buffet always consisted of hot and cold food. Always made fresh every day. You always had a choice of a salad at lunch and/or supper with hot items such as rice, pasta, potatoes, chichen, fish, pork, beef, vegetables, plantains etc. The food was good. The only thing I would say negative about the food is that after 7 days, you get fed up with seeing the same things on the menu. We would make jokes with the people at our table, before going to serve ourselves. We would say, OK what shall we eat tonight, chicken, fish, pork beef, or pasta. It was always prepared in different ways, but we always new what was under the covers. Well at least it was good and fresh. Always fresh fruits, cereal, toast, eggs, sausage and bacon for breakast. So I must say, we ate well. Did not starve ourselves. First time travellers with Go Travel Direct, and I must say not the last time. THe service we had upon arriving at the airport was most impressive. A bus waiting for tourists for each hotel booked thru GoTravelDirect. Took us directly to our hotel and the next morning (friday) a representative greated us and explained the different excursions that were organized thru GTD. She was at our hotel I would say every second day. So if we had any concerns, she would try to resolve them for us immediately if she could. Her name was Anne-Michelle and she provided us with excellent service. Well I must say that our trip was a success. If you plan on going to DR, and want more info about Reina Cumayasa, please e-mail me at andhoule@videotron.ca and I will be happy to give you more details or even send you photos of the place. We've enjoyed it so much, it won't be our last trip to the DR. Next trip, Winter 2008.
