Paradisus Palma Real Higuey - 伊圭

The location of the entertainment would change depending on the night and the time often altered at well to accommodate whatever entertainment was planned that evening.

Our villa was in a great location and had a lovely view of the ocean.

I've never been to a beach location where there was no seagulls?

It is close to the airport - 20 mins taxi.

Taxi to and from the airport: 30 minutes $25.

Oh, and the standard king bed room is only good for a couple - there is not privacy in the bathroom (shower and toilet doors were see-through glass) and there is no real wall between the fabulous tub and the bed.

The room we had was a 1 bedroom suite with 2 person jacuzzi, 2 flat screen TV's, King bed and full kitchen.

The bedroom had a king size bed, wall mount plasma tv with an adjacent jacuzzi tub for two and a two-sink vanity.

My 11 year old turned on the bathtub jets and it shot water across my whole room, soaking down my bed.

The construction of these rooms is amazingly cheap and shoddy, and on two days during which it rained very heavily, we found the floor of our bed-room soaked due to a closed, but poorly sealed window that had leaked.

For lunch and breakfast you can eat at two different buffet style restaurants or if you have royal service another restaurant is opened to royal service only for lunch and breakfast.

We were looking forward to having at least one restaurant that served traditional Dominican food but were disappointed to find 2 buffet restaurants (hamburgers, burgers, chicken)and the rest were italian, japanese and continental cuisine.

We upgraded to the Royal Service which provides access to a private beach area and private pool, breakfast and lunch at a specific restaurant, a private lounge for check-in/check-out, 24 hours food and a "butler" to be available to help out.

Gloria, Annie and Hector in the Naos Buffet restaurant made breakfast and lunch a pleasure always waiting to seat us and have are drink order taken so that they would be at the table before we got back with our meal.

Food: One of the ala carte dinner restaurants Vento, is also only available to Royal Services guests for sit down breakfast and lunch.

Activities staff so friendly, the maids cleaned thoroughly and 24 hr room services was nice to have available.

Service and attitudes of employee's was up-beat and refreshing and like most places, if you don't have to deal with the front desk and only with the workers, everything will be easy!

They told us how they take you into the spa and show you how to use each pool first, than the steam room and then the sauna.

The pool was huge, the spa was amazing, and the staff was so very friendly.

The entire hotel is an open-air design, no walls or windows, so when you stand in the lobby, you can see the pool and ocean which are in the distance (a beautiful view).

Also, the rooms do have wired high-speed internet and if you sit in just the right spots in the lobby, there is wireless.

Internet at the hotel is expensive if you don't have your laptop so if you're going to want to be online more than a few minutes here and there, bring your laptop with wireless connection.

Our room was pristine and clean, spacious and comfortable.

Ocean that is spotless, the kindness of the staff made feel us so happy and the rooms are very nice.

After about an hour had someone come up to clean room.

Everymorning we awoke to housekeeping trying to get in to clean our room, if you're a heavy sleeper and their knock doesn't wake you up then they will walk in on you.

Room - exceptionally clean and cleaned promptly every day.
