Dominican

So, I was doing a little googling about the Dominican Republic to remind myself to save money so we can make the trip in August. I found some reviews of the place we're going, Sunscape The Beach which I was reading through. Most of them gave very high reviews. Main complaints were that doing extra stuff away from the resort took time to get to, and were expensive. Well, we plan on staying there, so who cares about that. Then I found one that made me laugh. This guy, who chose the 35-45 age category, could barely say anything nice. He complained that the road from the airport was in bad shape, and even went as far as to complain that we had to share the road with vehicles from farms. Ummm, the DR isn't a very wealthy nation, which shouldn't be news to someone going there to visit, so the roads aren't going to be perfect. He also complained some that most of the staff didn't speak perfect English, and he was horrified that nobody at the airport spoke English. Maybe he got on the wrong plane to go there and was expecting to end up in Miami or something, but I would think that if someone was to travel to a foreign land, where the national language is Spanish, you shouldn't expect everyone to speak your language. I was pretty baffled that someone could be so "American" that they would expect the whole world to be like home. As for the actual quality of the resort, he said the rooms were nice and the food was good and the beach was nice. But overall, he would not recommend it as a destination, because it was too different I guess. It kinda makes me sad, but then again, I'd think that it would be a better time without people like that there, so what can ya do? Part of the reason to go is to experience something different. And, for those of you wondering about the Spanish part, no, I'm not fluent. I can get by from what I know, but mostly I'll be relying on my lovely wifey of 2 years, who speaks it like it's going out of style. Yay for a wife who knows more than me!!
