Facility was ok. Service was horrendous. They advertise 3 restaurant however only 1 available per day which required reservations but not available. Food was not very good and very limited options. Bar service - only draft beer and not very good. Bottle beer was additional, even President which should have been inclusive. No mini bar service! Would definitely not be back!!

If you come here stay at the iberostar or playa Dorado you can stay and feel better about grand paradise blue bay . The beaches are better in Sosua and I mostly prefer Cabarate. Playa Dorado beach is ok . Some white sand. Sosua is half an hour away and Cabarate is 36 mins away from puerto plata. If you come stay at 4 or 5 stars the food is better there. . I stayed at Live Marian but as soon as I got there they pressure you to go to a presentation to purchase life time vacations. The food was not good at all there.. I told them I already I own 2 Timeshares and I don't need a 3rd. Property needs to be updated. The swimming pool was fine but the beach area had not been cleaned. Seaweeds all over. No complaints about Puerto Plata . Just stay at 5 stars to enjoy your trip if you want to have good food and relaxation. The best place to visit is Cayo De arena if you like snorkeling or go to Las Galeras best diving there. It's 3 hrs by car from Puerto Plata.. the best beaches are Playa grande Playa Rincon and Playa Calera in Las Galera a small fishing village 40 min north of samana. You can find a good Bed and Breakfast from 30 to 60 dollars a night.

I will never stay in this resort. Breakfast Saturday morning I went to the grill where they make the eggs. I asked for 3 over light for 5 seconds. He did not take off. So I told him to take off. Instead of taking off he got me 5 more eggs. This man could not speak any English and should not be making food. I guess I did not see many Americans, Canadians or Germans there the word got out.

We all got very sick with food provided . We had a virus resulting in food poising for just 2 out of the 9 there but all of us got a bad virus with nausea, vomiting, bloating and diarrea . I’ve been trying to contact the resort and client services keeps directing me to different people . I have emailed and Booking.com has emailed as well trying to explain the situation . The shows at night are not good , not as professional as others and casino was closed and just 1 club open . (Which would of been nice for them to notify me when I got there )

Puerto Plata is a perfect stay for a short time travel or just to arrive in the country! You have beaches, shopping areas (even in form of huge supermarkets), beach restaurants/bars, a little night life scene, the possibility to surf or go to the mountains and there is an airport - which for me after a 10 hours flight is quite important. It's (compared to other cities) really clean! The city itself has charm and is in any way worth to see it!

We liked most of all visiting mountain Isabel de Torres by cable car. On the top of mountain is copy of Brazilian statue of Christ the Redeemer, cave, beautiful tropical garden with hummingbirds and of course - amazing view to Atlantic ocean and San Felipe!
