The beach is like in an advertisement for a Bounty bar. Like delicate coconut filling, snow-white sand underfoot. Juicy leaves of palm trees, as if sprinkled with oil and grated to a gloss. The gentle turquoise of the lagoon, mixing at the horizon with ocean aquamarine ... languid bliss, like milk chocolate, is poured in the air ... Paradise pleasure! Do such places really exist on our planet or all of these are Photoshop tricks? Even as they exist! This is Bavaro Beach in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic).
If you like three kilometers of white as snow and fine, like fine flour, sand, then here you are. As a bonus, a developed beach infrastructure is attached. And on this chic coast there is a no less luxurious hotel complex called Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort Casino 4 *. The characteristics of this hotel will be devoted to our article. The review of the hotel is based solely on reviews from tourists.
Where is it located and what is it
The eastern tip of Haiti is interesting in that there are virtually no hurricanes. All the rampage of the elements usually fall on the west coast, and while they get to Punta Cana, they subside. Even during the rainy season, which in the Dominican Republic lasts from May to July, precipitation falls only for two hours a day. And this means that throughout the year you can relax on the beach of Bavaro.
The fact that the hotel complex Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort 4 * has a direct relationship to this coast is evidenced by its former name: Carabela Bavaro Beach Resort. In July 2013, the famous chain of Vista Sol Hotels bought Carabel. Rebranding with a parallel overhaul benefited the hotel. Small two- and three-story buildings are buried in lush tropical greenery. Peacocks walk slowly through this marvelous garden. Guests receive a free shuttle service to the Tower Casino, which is why the word Casino is often found in the name of the hotel. Nearby is the village of El Cortecito, and the nearest town, Higuey, is forty-five kilometers away. Transfer from Punta Cana Airport takes about twenty minutes.
What's in the rooms
Guests of the hotel complex Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort 4 * live in ten buildings. Five of them have elevators. Double rooms are divided into standard, superior and junior suite rooms. For large families, there are duplex - twin rooms with a common door. The junior suites are a bedroom and a living area. These rooms are located in buildings directly on the beach. But even in the simplest rooms for guests there is a balcony or terrace. The standard rooms have an empty small fridge, and in the superior and suites there is a minibar with free drinks. A manual air conditioning will provide a climate in the room that you prefer. Each room has a TV with satellite channels. But, as our compatriots annoy in their reviews, there are no Russians among them. But tourists are surprised to note that there is an iron and an ironing board, which is not often seen in the "four". Maids even change their linen without tipping and clean the rooms every day.

Bavaro (Dominican Republic)

It is not only a magnet for divers and snorkellers. The reef also protects the shallow waters from cold currents, high waves and dangerous sea creatures.
