Hi Big Larry,
Greetings from Atlantic Canada.
Breezes Puerto Plata (actually between Sosua and Cabarete) is a reasonably well booked AI resort which is popular with a slightly younger crowd. It has 24 hr. food and drink (local and international) and has all the normal activities and a few relatively unique ones (trapeze, "ice" rink and climbing wall e.g.). It has a Casino and a Disco. The pool is quite nice but the beach suffers from relatively high waves and is not as nice as nearby Playa Sosua.
The main pluses are:
1) Free shuttle 3X daily to Sosua and Cabarete.
2) Good drink selection
3) Upgraded common areas
4) Good selection of activities
The main minuses are:
1) No money spent upgrading rooms (below par).
2) Average specialty restaurants.
3) Slightly below average buffet.
4) No reservation policy for Specialty Restaurants.
5) Lots of weddings means usually one or more specialty restaurants are booked for wedding parties. Good for them - bad for all else.
Nothing above would keep me from going back but I would be more likely to try another resort or return to one of my favourites.
