Provincia de Puerto Plata Travel Forum

Hello,

Is here anyone who had a vacation in Puerto Plata in july. Can someone tell me what kind of weather it was out there?
I leave in july to Puerto Plata and i hope there is more sun than clouds and thunderstorms.

I hope someone knows an answer on this question.

Greetings
Evy.

Hey, just wanted to see if anyone lives or has been to cabarete that can tell me what the crime is like there? I was thinking of buying a vacation home. Thanks!

Hi!
I'm concidering going to Cabarete in august/september, but I've heard that that is the main hurricane season. I'm wondering if it is as bad as everyone says it is, or if it is still possible to travel to Cabarete for diving, beach and so forth, or should I plan the trip for another time?

Thanks for any answers =)

Hi, I'm planning to visit Cabarete early January. Besides hitting the beaches, I'd also love to do some 'adventure' sports. Mountain biking is high on the list, but I'm also a sucker for canyoning. I checked activecabarete.com and it's mentioned there, but I can't find any details. Does anyone know if it is possible to go on a canyoning trip in Cabarete or anywhere else in the DR?

Other tips always welcome!

Many thanks...

anyone know anything about it?

Hey

A friend and I (both 25 yr old males) are looking into an all inclusive in Purto Plata / Playa Doral at the end of sept. We are wondering what awaits us. We are both single and looking to have a good time down there, hopefully get out for a few 'night's on the town'. Is that a descent time to go? What kind of costs are we looking at for a good 'party' night. Is there any clubs/discos that anyone can recommend? Are the disco's at the resort good aswell? Also, if anyone has also been to varadero, would you recommend one over the other?

Thanks very much

I am traveling from Santo Domingo to Sosua. I have three hotels in mind and open for suggestions. The three are: Ricks Bar, Casa Serena or Hotel Colibri. All three in the same price range. Which is a higher recomendation? Others to consider? I donot have a hotel in Santo Domingo yet, I am hoping to find one for under US $40. Thank you for your assistance. I am a teacher in a tight budget.

my partner and i are travelling to the riu mambo in puerto plato on the 23 of this month can you tell me what will the weather be like.Debbie

We will be staying at the Riu Merengue. But plan to visit places off the resort. Any recommendations for bars and clubs? We both speak Spanish and my wife, who is originally from Ecuador, loves dancing to merengue music. So hopefully we can find an authentically DR club with more locals than tourists. Any ideas? Also we would appreciate suggestions on tours and other places to visit in order to have the best and wildest time possible. Thanks!

we are going to sousa for our honeymoon and are getting close to going. we just wanted to know if any one has any pics or tips for us while we are there.

Hi there,
I would like to know how much and how long it will take to go from the airport to Puerto Dorada? Cheers Steve

Hi there,
correction, has any one stayed at Rocky's Bar in Sosua?

Hi there,
has anyone stayed at Rocky's bar in Puerto Plata, if so please advise, I'am after going to DR and do not want to stay in an all inclusive. I have also been informed of the WaterFront Hotel in Sosua is good, can anyone expand on this please, cheers Steve.

Hi there, going to DR in June for 14 days, not one for all inclusives prefer Apt or Hotel bed and breakfast. But have been advised To go all inclusive for cheapness and safety, I am hoping not to do the all in and sample some of the culture and local food. Can any one out there please advise, cheers Steve.

Has anyone been there before? How is the resort? Would you recommend it for a few guys in their early 20s? Any other recommendations in terms of all-inclusive resorts?

Has anyone been to Exotic Vacations DR Resort ??????......
I'm trying to go there in my summer vacations, i was looking at their site at www.exoticvacationsdr.com and it looks great but i want to know more and try opinions from persons that have been there...

Just reply if you have any information.........

I'm wander what was/is the Notary name? Can you pm me, thank you in advance.

Hi we are looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom self catering place to rent for 3 weeks next january in or within very easy walking distance of the beach / shops in sosua.Ideally we would like a small villa / bungalow with a pool - but would be glad to hear of any suggestions - especially if people can recommend somewhere where they have had a good experience! we're on a resonably tight budget - somewhere around or preferably under £600 per week. We've looked at Villa Brigitte but it's just a little too far away from the town - we're going to hire a car for part of our stay but not all of it. Also, does anyone have any suggestions for good CHEAP car hire in Sosua? thanks ever so much

Hi all I am traveling to DR with 2 buddies in may this year and we were looking to stay at blackbeards but they are booked up. We are looking for a nice hotel or villa close to blackbeards. Can anyone tell me how close Sousa is to Puerto Plata. We will be driving so we can get around. We are not looking for the all inclusive because they restrict you. I have been to Puerto Plata 2 times and loved it. Thanks if you can give me any information.

Can anyone give me any advice on which hotel to choose from? They both seem within my budget and close to each other. I will be in Cabarete for 10 days at the beginning of April and want to make sure I stay somewhere I will be comfortable. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Hi
i am going to Sosua in 2 weeks time :) Yes i am very excited now.
I am staying for 2 weeks all inclusive but would like an idea of how much money to take.
We like to do a few excursions...possibly want to swim with dolphins whilst there, do abit of shopping (the usual sovenir buying) and also eat out a few nights as we dont like to stay in the hotel for the full 2 weeks.
Can anyone recommend how much to take? Also can you use sterling travellers cheques out there?

Plus id love to know what kind of clothing will be needed? Is it hot at night or will i need a jacket, trousers etc?

Thank you,
Stacey xxxx

Hello all!! I'm traveling to Puerto Plata from Canada by myself in April (exact week not confirmed yet-but it's looking like it would be around the 21st) and wondered if anyone else was headed that way around that time and wanted to hook up during the day to do some Photography expiditions???

Reply if you're interested!!

Hi there I am travelling to Puerto Plata with my family in April and I was just wandering if anyone could tell me the best things to use to avoid getting bitten by Mosquitos I am worried as I have a 19 month old child and I dont want him bitten.

Thanks

Please help me!! myself and four other friends are staying in Cabarete at the end of March '07. The problem we're running into is, we can save a large amount of money by flying into STI vs POP. My question is... How much money (US$)to take a bus or taxi from the STI airport to Cabarete? Is it feasable to do such a thing or should we just "bite the bullett so to speak and spend the extra cash and fly into POP? Secondly, I have seen on other forums that most people say to bring around 1000 us dollars per couple for the week,however,those forums were from 2-3 years ago. Has the cost gone up or stayed the same? Thanks for you help!!

Hi I am travelling to Cabarete with hubby for kitesurfing at the end of January. I was hoping someone might be able to recommend a day spa they have used in the past. Thanks, Becky

We are planning a trip in Nov 2007, and everywhere you read, it makes it seem like it rains all day, every day.

Is it rainy like hawaii? or only at night?

I understand, it's weather, and it can change - but there has to be some sort of pattern/average.

We are going either way to to Puerto Plata, but may change dates...

We are staying @ the Lifestyle Villa's - how are those? They look really nice..
