if you are looking to have a blast. you have to consider punta cana instead of puerto plata. summer time is off season in puerto plata, so there wont be many people either sosua or cabarete. playa dorada is a little be different because dominicans (real dominicans) from santiago and puerto plata go there on weekends.
in punta cana summer time is another story. we dont really have an off season in punta cana because is cheaper and we have lot of young tourists from south america, puerto rico and many dominican from the capital, and lot of spanish.
I already have my reservation for bahia principe and majestic elegance in june-july 69dlls for bahia and 83dlls. for majestic.
Bahia has a nice disco. is not famous as others because is inside the resort and just for bahia guess. the resort capacity is for over 4,000guess. this is maybe the best resort for singles.
majestic is in my opinion one of the best resort if food is very important. is maybe the only resort under 100dls that has free lobster and good steak in pc.

note if your tour company that you bought your vacation package from goes under while you are on holiday, and you are staying at the Gran Bahia Principe, the hotel management will not let you leave unless you pay them directly for your hotel stay, even though you have already paid for your vacation.

Bavaro Princess is a great hotel and it is close to everything.
Arieto and Mangu are on either sides of the hotel.

Most people who havent visit punta cana has the wrong idea that PC is not for single. totally false. Punta Cana is the party town in DR.
Nice hotels with decent rate:
Majestic Elegance (the best hotel for the money)
Majestic Colonial
Bahia Principe
Ocean Blue
Melia CaribeTropical

Outdated, but with lot of singles
Barcelo Bavaro complex
Occidental Flamenco

Nice ambience and atmosphere (not for single)
Eden NH (one of the nicest resort with the worst food in PC)
I gave them a second try last week and it was a food disaster again. I dont really know what they are waiting for to fire the chef.
Johnny... I'm leaving next week to Gran Bahia Principe. Any special clubs (night time) outside the hotel that you might recommend to find singles and have fun?
