Whether you wind up in Sosua or Playa Dorada, there is lots to see and do outside of the resort environment. Just excercise your common sense (don't stumble around drunk at any time, don't flash large amounts of jewellery and/or cash) and you should be fine.
The nice thing about the Puerto Plata/Sosua/Cabarete area is that everything is within easy travel distance. Each area has it's own charms and a taste of each is well worth it.
Relax, go with the flow, and you will have a great time.
