nice safe centrally located hotel there in Puerto Plata

Hi Richard,

I have created a  new thread with your post on the Dominican Republic forum for more visibility and interaction with the members.

Thanks

You may not want to stay in Puerto Plata itself, but rather in Sosua, Cabarete, Cabrera or other local areas.  PP is a busy, congested Dominican city

Thanks Priscilla!   

Bob some people actually like Puerto Plata and dislike  Sosua and Cabarete!   I am one of them.

The north coast is quite varied in  and it goes from sleepy little towns,  to larger towns (not really a city yet)  to  beachfront tourist / expat specialty areas to  farm country,  and to the east a large golf course community. 

It all depends on what you actually like!   Take a look at all the areas.  Puerto Plata might be a less expensive base of operations while you discover the other areas from Luperon all the way east to Playa Grande! 

As to a hotel in  Puerto Plata -  most hotels in the area are All Inclusive hotels. In PUerto PLata  there are not that many other options.  I know the Montesilva -  basic maybe  2 1/2 stars on that scale.  Others Mountainview is actually a bit nicer but noisier.  That is all I know about, sorry.

oops

Hahahahahaha!  I  still love you Bob.

Thanks

Safe and economical, try Cabarete Surf Camp in Cabarete. Also called, Alli's Surf Camp. Don't really know Puerto Plata.
