Help, Where To Stay & Party In Puerto Plata W/ The Boys?

skeedone · #1 05-08-2006, 05:38 PM

I Am Travelling To Puerto Plata For 5 Days In The End Of June With 3 Guys. We Are All Single And In Our 20's, I Have Never Been To Puerto Plata And I Wanted To See If Anyone Could Recomend A Good Hotel For Guys Our Age. Looking For A Good Night Life Spot And The Opportunity To Meet Local Woman. If Anyone Could Give Me Some Good Advice I Would Greatly Appreciate It, They Are To Many Hotels And I Can't Make Heads Or Tails Out Of It...

Just remember that most of the hotels are All-Inclusive hotels which are not guest friendly. Therefore you won't get much head or tail out of it. I would suggest that you redirect you vacation to Sosua, about 20 minutes to the East. Much better nightlife for the single male.

Unquestionably, Sosua is a better choice than Puerto Plata.
People often refer to Puerto plata, as that's the name of the airport in our area, but Puerto Plata as a town would not interest you.
What are your requirements & budget for a hotel?

skeedone...
seriously consider Cabarete, too. about 25 minutes east of the airport. a very cool town with bars/restaurants/discos on the beach. a definite party place with people your age.
what's your budget?
consider kaoba & cita del sol hotels if on a budget
consider villa taina or palm beach condos if mid-range price okay... you'll be 2 minute walk from the heart of the action.

im flying into santiago, but besides that im pretty opened to where is stay. my budget is probably $100-$150 a night per person. i want a spring break atmoshphere as much as possible.

Thats a lot of dollars per person per night. Have a look at Europa Hotel or Rocky's both in Sosua

If you didn't buy your ticket yet than fly into POP. $100-$150 is that for the hotel room or hotel and spending money? I usually use $150 a day as a guideline for hotel, food, beverage and entertainment.

Erase Puerto Plato out of your mind and start looking into Sosua, Cabarete, Costambar.

sorry, i stand corrected we were looking to spend $100-$150 per night per room, not per person. everyone from new york who has been to dr has never mentioned sosua to me as a spot to see. i still want to be on the main beat and path, but i dont want to be surrounded by 40 somethings with their annoying kids. hopefully this can redirect your advice, i am just concerned about being isolated in a less popular spot (sosua) or i could be wrong, for the 5 days...

i thought that the playa dorado complex in puerto plata would be a good spot, but now you guys are telling me no. i want to book the hotel as soon as possible. once again, we are 4 guys all single in our 20's, honestly im sure the boys want some hookers, booze and everything else in between. where should i go guys? i have been to every other island in the carribean just not dr.

The above posters recommend "SOSUA", so that is where you want to go, all the action you guys can stand.
