In winter, tired of the frost and urban slush, most Russians prefer to be where it is warm and sunny, so it is not surprising that their eyes turn towards the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean Islands. This is understandable - the benevolence and positivity of the locals, the abundance of sun and fruit, the hospitality of the hotels, the beauty of the clouds and the ocean - these are just a few things that attracts Russians to this destination. I would like to note that there is no low tourist season in these places, and the variety and abundance of excursion and entertainment services at any time of the year is of interest to tourists.
The famous tour operator "Pegas Turistik" has been working with the Caribbean for a long time, and competently and professionally helps to appreciate the rest in this country, forming its packages taking into account the needs of buyers. As a result, the quality of service is excellent both in budget proposals and in proposals for the most demanding customers.
AMResorts
About two years ago, the American hotel chain AMResorts was added to the partners of Pegas Turistik. Today it includes six hotel brands and 37 hotels, offering its guests a unique concept of Unlimited Luxury - “Unlimited Luxury”. To understand what this term includes, here are some key points that distinguish these global brands from others:
• Lack of control bracelets
• Themed a la carte restaurants without reservations
• Alcoholic drinks of the best world brands
• 24-hour room service
• Exciting daytime activities
• Night shows and disco
• Explorers' Club for children 3-12 years old and an entertainment program for teens
• Spacious rooms and suites
• Minibars replenished daily
• Beach and pool service
Among other things, common to the entire chain is that in addition to modern interior design and the highest level of service, each of them is ready to satisfy the needs of even the most demanding travelers.
In December, we had a good opportunity to see the main advantages and infrastructure of some hotels, and make sure that Russian tourists in the Dominican Republic are loved and expected. The comfort of moving around the Dominican Republic was provided by the host company Amstar - it is she who provides transfers and excursions for guests of AMResorts hotels. Our first home was the Now Larimar Punta Cana hotel.
Now Larimar Punta Cana
The hotel is located close to the Caribbean Sea and has a very beautiful scenic beach. It meets all the requirements of a modern holiday, providing excellent service. Now Larimar Punta Cana offers all the amenities and has a "zest" - in addition to swimming pools, a beautiful beach and a jacuzzi (even in budget rooms), the hotel has its own casino, a nightclub for adults and an entertainment club for children and teenagers, employees with pedagogical education. Another attraction at the Now Larimar Punta Cana is bowling.
Now Larimar Punta Cana is a modern youth hotel where you can spend your holidays in active sports or dancing, or you can give preference to creativity, such as painting. For lovers of evening programs - daily entertainment shows. For gourmets - the delights of restaurants for every taste: Asian restaurant, Chinese, Italian, French - a total of 11 restaurants and 14 bars.
Another important point is the proximity of the famous Saona Island. An excursion to this island will be remembered for a lifetime. The turquoise clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, the white sand that does not burn your feet and the virgin nature of the coast are just words that cannot express the beauty of this place. Because of its beauty, the island was selected for one of the Bounty chocolate commercials. You need to see it with your own eyes.
Dreams Punta Cana Resort & Spa
Another, no less interesting and comfortable hotel of the chain is Dreams Punta Cana Resort & Spa. This hotel provides unlimited daytime activities and nightlife. Themed oceanfront parties are held here every day. Good infrastructure, very suitable for weddings, honeymooners or honeymoons. Here you can fully plan and conduct your wedding ceremony. During our visit in December, there were already 360 weddings in the plans for 2015!
Spacious two-room and luxuriously equipped rooms in pastel colors, a minibar in the rooms, which is updated daily, service by the pool and on the beach, natural fruit juices, beer and cocktails without limits - all this also disposes of a round-the-clock relaxation.
The hotel has an Explorer's Club for children and a Teens Club for teenagers with a team of animators who organize weekly bonfires and themed discos. This hotel is mainly chosen by parents with children, as it is really very family-friendly. All standard rooms have a sleeping area and a TV communication area - so all family members can feel comfortable anywhere. The territory of the hotel resembles a park and also gives complete freedom in the choice of recreation and entertainment.
Not far from the hotel is the famous Macau Beach - a great place for a romantic horseback ride along the ocean. This scenic spot is included in the small buggy safari tours, and of course, it is a favorite spot for surfers, as the ocean almost always holds the waves here. There is a surf school on Macau Beach, and not only experienced athletes who can give a wave riding lesson individually and in a group, but also beginners are surfing here. We assure you that unforgettable impressions from the first independent attempts to conquer the turquoise surface of the ocean will remain in your memory like a sunny postcard.

Of the total number of vacationers choosing AMResorts hotel brands, Russian tourists make up only 10% - 15%, but as top managers of the hotels we met assure, Russian tourists are always welcome. This is a profitable category of vacationers, a distinctive feature of which is a long stay and a stable ability to pay. Of course, it's nice that the Russian tourist is now described as serious and reliable. But there is one more good news: thanks to a good knowledge of the needs of customers, "Pegas Turistik" opened the opportunity to see the Caribbean and relax in the Dominican Republic with comfortable accommodation in hotels for a variety of consumer tastes and incomes.
