Family (summer) Vacation 2012

Not sure if you guys are aware or not, but travelling with five people is very difficult.

1. Not too many resorts actually let you have five people in a room (even though that one person is a four month old baby who sleeps in a car seat).
2. The resorts that do let you have five people in a room- charge you an arm and a leg just because you have that one extra person. I also think that a lot of resorts are starting to be a bit crazy about having four (4) people in a room. I mean really???
3. Once you do decide where you want to go and find that resort you CAN stay at- you have to spend an arm and a leg getting ready. Having girlz is crazy I tell you :)

Here is my story of our  Summer Trip to Dominican Republic- Tropical Princess Beach Resort and Spa

We usually go on vacations in the month of June. It must be the 'European' in us but we are use to going to tropical places in summer and icy cold ones in winter. This year with five of us we decided to go back to DM (been there 3 times already) and try out a new resort.

 

The actual trip was not bad at all. Niki was four months old and slept most of the trip there and back. The two other girls did get into few fights on the plane but all in all a good trip. Our resort was not too far from the airport so we didnt have to sit in a bus for too long. Once we got to our resort we had to wait for four hours until our rooms were ready :( boooo. It was HOT ..STICKY ..and we were not dressed for 35C at all :). Once we had our rooms we changed and headed for the pool.

Kiddies loved this pool. It was right in front of our room, ton of shade and chairs so we did not have any problems finding a place to sit and relax. We met some great people from Canada who also happen to be Serbian and they had two girls as well- lets just say it was a bonus :)

 

The trip would have been even better if the local people did not show up on the weekend. Lets just say that they are not the most 'clean' and 'proper' bunch. They would eat food in the pool, jump around you even if you were holding a little baby, loud and crazy until the weeeee hours at night etc. Aside from that little hick up, the hotel and a trip was a great success. I am not sure if we would go back to the same resort but it was definitely something that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
