| After years of traveling Ive decided to go to Dominican Republic, to Puerto Plata with my family - my wife and two 7yr old twins.My experience has taught me always to take all-inclusive especially because of the kids. The only problem is that travel agents in my town offer only one hotel Occidental Grand Flamenco. By the pictures I can see that its quite good, but you can never guess how it really looks like. So, I would be really grateful if I could have some tips from someone whos been there. |

| Dont even think of taking your children to this terrible hotel! Even in my wildest dreams, even if its the only one in DR, I still wouldnt go there again. Ive heard of 5 star hotels in Turkey; all inclusive really pays off there. You dont need anything that the hotel doesnt have. Long sandy beaches are the only thing in common. As for other things, Occidental is a disaster, starting from the staff. Such scenery you cant see on the pictures! At least three things I can remember didnt work or were broken. The fridge which doesnt cool, oven which is out of order, broken mirror in the toilet and alike are the things I encountered. As for the food, if you want to eat bread and butter only, then go ahead. Im seriously advising you to avoid this hotel. |
