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!

DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO EXCURSIONS IN THE LOCALITY. I WILL NOT REVIEW THE TOWN FOR NOW. WE DID DO BEACH HORSE RIDING WHICH WAS LOT OF FUN AND WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IF YOUR VISITING. JUST MAKE SURE YOU DONT MAKE THE HORSE RIDING PURCHASES FROM THE BEACH VENDORS. THEY TAKE YOU LOCALLY ON THE HORSE AND GET READY TO BE BITTEN BY MOSQUITOS AND SMELL THE GHETTOS FULL OF TRASH AND NO SEWER SYSTEM.

We loved the beaches and the ocean water was so warm. The weather in November was very nice—hot but not too hot. We loved all the fun and exciting things to do. We went on a zipline and tour of monkey land. We did 27 falls which I highly recommend. We went snorkeling at the beach in Sosua. The cable car to the top of the mountain was also fabulous! The traffic is scary. There are so many motorcycles going everywhere in every direction. There doesn’t seem to be many traffic rules. There was a lot of honking but no one was mad. They are all happy. I don’t recommend renting a car and driving. If you are in an accident and you wait for the police, they take away your passport for 6 months! We did mostly Uber. The cars seemed to be nicer and it was cheaper than a taxi. There was a bit of a problem between taxi drivers and Uber drivers so be careful. Taxi drivers are taxed but not Uber drivers so there was some problems there.
