Not to go in the pool nor the Ocean and to rest in my room.
So the storm is coming I have been instructed by the doctor. Once again I know there is nothing that can be done about the weather but I am giving you the whole picture of this wonderful week. Monday night day #3 of our Holiday/ Vacation And there is Tropical storm OLGA coming. This rooms # was 1622 and it is nice it's about time. As we waited to hear back from him we were told by hotel workers that we were not changing hotels but would once again be changing rooms. He said he would look into changing us hotels as this was unacceptable. Our rep came to the hotel to discuss this and he came and saw the room he was as disgusted as were we. Next I contacted our rep From Go Travel again this time and I was loosing patience. There were many other cases of this reported that I am aware of ( at least 6 confirmed). I received 1 needle in my butt 2 bottles of eye drops( different drops) and 2 different kinds of pills to take for the remainder of this trip. Upon seeing the Dr and paying the $125 US bill. He told me to meet with him at the clinic at 10 am it was 8 am when I called him. Īs I was saying there was mold on the mattress and I found out the hard way because after that night, the next morning I could not see out of my right eye it was swollen shut. The Phone didn't work in this room either. Īt 2pm we were given our next room the # was C131 this room was worse than the first this one had a leaking ceiling the water was coming from the light fixture ( we do believe it was from the A/C )and dripping into the garbage can in the entrance, there was mold once again in the bathroom as well on my mattress that I didn't notice until later I will get to that in a minute.
We called our rep from GTD and he met with us the next day, as well as another family which were also having the same problem as us. We are shown to our room The first room # was C337 there was mold in the room, phone didn't work ( buttons on it were jammed like me on the plane). We get to our resort Fun Royal / Tropical "Beach Resort" ( there's no beach there you need to take a tractor to get to the beach ). The weather was disappointing the first 4 days it rained in the morning and in the evening but was fantastic in the afternoon.The next 7 days were lovley all day last 3 were sun,cloud and some light rain but it is their winter. Be aware the VIP services guys at the hotel, they are only there to try and sell you time share, just say no, Unless you have an hour to waste.
The entertainment staff work very hard in the evening with the shows.And the day time entertainers worked really hard, to get everyone involved in the activities, especially Spaghetti and shaggy. The food in the resturant was excellent with loads of choice and things cooked fresh to your choice (pasta, eggs and omlettes).Īll the staff are friendly, efficient and helpfull.Especially the bar staff. The bathroom was the most dated and when the room above had a shower it came through the roof in to the bath not a problem though.I thought The buzzing transformer outside would be a problem but after a couple of days you got used to it and never realy noticed it. We had interconnecting rooms which were large basic and a bit dated but clean enough.The fridges in both rooms were kept filled every day with 2 coke 2 sprite 4 bottled water and 4 beers. When we arrived we were allocated a room on the second floor on the Royale side. Would definately visit this hotel again, sooner the better.
#FUN ROYALE TROPICAL PUERTO PLATA PROFESSIONAL#
The entertainment team were quite professional worked very hard in the evenings and we really enjoyed the shows, only downside to a certain few was they asked for money which we found a bit of a cheek (which they probably earnt with taking women out on the town, nudge nudge, wink wink) but overall a very friendly bunch of guys n gals. Tip the waiters and they will bring drinks to your table before you have finished the first one BLISS.Īll the staff at this resort worked VERY hard, and it is hard to please everyone cos there is always someone who isn't happy. What can i say about the food, BRILLIANT something for everyone, even in the evening when we were drinking at the 24 hour bar they put on burgers, jacket potatoes, salad. Husband and myself had quite a few bites but we were in a country where you should expect this.
The maids worked extremely hard and changed towels and sheets on a daily basis NoTHING was too much for ANY of the staff, if you had a problem they would sort it. On arrival we thought the hotel was very clean, we were taken to our room which was on the Royale side we had interconnecting rooms which were brill cos we had 4 double beds EXCELLENT!! The fridges were stocked every day with 4 cans of beer, 4 bottles of water, 2 bottles of sprite and 2 bottles of coke.
