I don't know all the hotels in Puerto Plata but if it is something clean, tidy, A/c, comfortable & fairly inexpensive ...... my recommendation would be ApartHotel Lorimar on the Malecon.
Theu DON'T have a restaurant there, but Jardin Suizo is not too far away (turn left out of the driveway & walk about 1/2 mile), Los Almendros is on the corner to the RIGHT from the driveway & local town eating houses are not too far away either!! Cost USED to be RD $800 per night (for the room - NOT each).

PM me if you want Tel. No. I am fairly certain they are not on the internet!! ~ Grahame.

from the Lorimar is the brand new Field of Dreams Inn, just across from the secondary entrance to Playa Dorada. Contrary to rumor, it is not a "Blackbeards style" adult resort. Just a small hotel which is "companion friendly", same as other non AI hotels throughout the DR. Nice pool, resteraunt/bar on site and friendly, bilingual management.

Does Field of Dreams Inn have AC in their rooms and do you know the rates?

hello, I asked the guy I rented my car from at the santiago airport, who lives in peurto platta, and after i went to the beach in Sosua, he took me to the Play Dora complex, and i ended up at the grand vennetta or something like that. It was fine, and not too much money even though it was an AI...at that point it was dark, and i didnt want to keep looking for a hotel. It was only $80 per person for the large room with the king bed for me and my girl, but it was $3500 pesos for my girlfriend sisters room next to ours!..it had double twin beds.....the food was decent, but it was raining the whole time we were there.....bob

but for future reference. The Field of Dreams Inn has AC and satellite TV in the rooms, as well as 24/7 power, wireless high speed internet service, and restaurant/bar on site. The regular daily rate is $47.50 with lower rates negotiable for stays of a week or more.

Field of Dreams is a really nice, friendly place. I stay there as I fly into and from the DR (I fly my own plane from Tampa to POP) 6-8 times a year. The owner, Billy, is a great guy, and a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. I even bring my mother with me, so you KNOW it's nice, 'cuz I'm not gonna bring her to a "monger" type place.

We just had breakfast at Field of Dreams this morning. The food is very good, well priced, the service is good as well. A lot of people don't know you can just go in and use the restaurant area! It is really good!

The rooms are very nice, clean, A/C plus ceiling fans. They also have safes in each room.

I was most impressed with the pool area too! Billy has done a nice job.
