Puerta Plata or Santa Domingo...Which one for New Year's?

Define best experience? What does that mean to you?

My vote would be the North coast for sure (yes I live here on the north coast). Especially in Cabarete which is a short distance from most of the AI resorts in Puerto Plata. There is one AI in Cabarete as well.  Here the party is on the beach and the music and dancing goes on all night with a terrific fire works show over the water.

best experience....lots of people, lots of music and festivities...memorable in a positive way

thanks Bob, do you have to stay at the AI in order to attend the party?

No you dont the party in Cabarete is on fhe beach...

Absolutely not. IN fact most folks visiting Cabarete rent vacation condos. 

The party on the beach draws folks from all over the area.

Great, sounds like beach party it is! Thanks for the help!! We are planning on renting a Condo/Apt in Puerta Plata and venturing out to Sousa and Cabarete for the night life :-)
Any other tips or insights are welcomed! :-)

Book your taxi early.....
