From Puerto Plata the price is 240 RD each way. The trip takes 3 hours and 45 minutes (barring accidents or other issues) The bus is rarely late and Howmar is very correct - dont' sit where you can see out the front window - bloody scary. They drive to arrive on time!
You only buy a one way ticket and return when you choose. You can however, buy your ticket in advance. This is recommended on weekends and holiday times as the buses do fill up! And yes take a jacket / sweater and socks. I froze last time I was on the bus.
I find the major difference between Caribe and Metro to be the location of the terminal in Santo Domingo. Depending where I am going in SD, I will choose the bus I want. Caribe tours goes more in town and Metro is in Naco/Piancini area. (hope I spelled that right)
