    Hi there! I’m considering this resort for a vacation next year and was wondering what the smoking situation is like on the resort. I know the DR is a very cigar friendly country; as it’s a big part of their culture and economy. I’m a cigar smoker and that’s one of the big reasons I’m considering the DR; to not only smoke but acquire some cigars while on vacation. I fully understand in 2024, tobacco smoking is very unpopular and probly seems absurd to many but premium cigars is a hobby and past time I enjoy nonetheless. What can you tell me about the smoking situation on property? Were ppl smoking in the pools, at outdoor bars, on the beach, in outdoor seating areas, walking about the resort, etc…? Was anyone, including guests or staff harassing smokers? Any insight you can provide would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

    This video is an excellent representation of what the resort will be like when we go! Thank you! Your tips are exactly what I was looking for since I really like to be prepared and have an idea of what to expect. As for the food, you mentioned several times you are a picky eater, so viewers really have to realize that tastes are different for each and your food tastes don't mean the food is lacking. I can already tell that I will like the food and the options. You confirmed all the questions I had about the resort from the research I have already done. Thank you so much! Once question I do have for you is about tipping. I see that it is included but do people tip additional there for great service? I have been to several all inclusive in Mexico and we tip extra. Thanks again Lainey!

  • @LaineyMelnick

    Normally, with an an all-inclusive resort that says no tipping they really mean it. They don’t want you to tip their staff. But I’m sure that nobody is going to notice if you slipped a tip to somebody. Thank you for your comments. Have a great trip.

Als is a disease which do not have any pre symptom,or even it has the pre symptoms do not lasts for 8-9 months.dont know why they are misguiding you. ALS is not a disease to " believe", it's a disease of actual clinical failure,an absolute clinical failure with muscle atrophy can establish the diagnosis.in fact in over 97% of als cases the actual clinical failure & muscle weakness happens with in first 6 months of symptom onset .
