An Alternative to Disney

We have found an excellent alternative to the Disney World, people. It’s a Nickelodeon resort in the DR.

First, there’s a beach.

Second, it’s cheaper.

The food is actually good. You can get different kinds of fish cooked right in front of you any way you prefer. Or steak, or chicken.

There are no people.

I mean, there are people but you rarely see them. There are definitely no crowds.

See? Empty.

The beach is almost always empty.

Everything is included, so once you pay for the trip, there are no additional costs.

Everything has an understated space-themed aesthetic.

Coffee is excellent.

Nothing is tacky. Really, there’s no tackiness. We’ve been here for a day and a half, and nothing garish or vulgar has entered our field of vision.

There are no lines. At all. None. No waiting for anything. Because, guess what? There’s always a bunch of space between you and other people. You practically don’t see them, which I know I already said but it’s too good not to repeat.

Unless you actively seek out characters, you won’t come across them.

There are ice-cream machines everywhere, and it’s all free. Soon your kid starts saying, “Mommy, I beg you, no more ice cream! Please, can I have a salad, please, Mommy, I’ll be good forever!”

Also, to quote N, “there isn’t a single Russian here!”

I’ll post more pictures later to illustrate my point about the lack of people.

    O Clarissa, it must be bliss!

  2. “There are no people”

    If I really liked the place this would make me wonder/worry about their economic model… is it the low season?
    For Europe I think DR is more a winter destination… not sure about NAmericans… is it just designed so that you don’t see so many people?

    1. Yes, it’s the design. There’s an area on the opposite side from the beach with characters, water slides, and deep fried chicken wings where they all congregate all day, leaving the rest of the resort nicely empty.
