Default Where to stay in POP
I am flying inot POP on July 2nd. Im looking for a hotel on the beach that is small and NOT all inclusive. What area/town should I be looking at.
I have stayed in Boca Chica numerous times, looking for a little more quiet area. Thank you.
Richie

There is no beach clean enough to swim in, in Puerto Plata, except in Playa Dorada in the all inclusive resorts.
Sosua or Cabarete will be your two best options.

Puerto Plata Beach Resort is on the beach and not an all-inclusive. 1000 pesos a night. = $30

True, but one might assume that the OP wants to swim in the water, and that would not be recommendable.

The beach here is clean. It is right beside the Playa Dorada Beach. Rocky lives in Sosua and only suggests Sosua to people on this board. Give POP a try. Casino on premises. Big clean pool. Security but guest friendly.

PPBR is close to a great assortment of restaurants too.

You think that I have an agenda that I do not have.
I believed that PPVR was the hotel on the Malecon, very near Long Beach.
Is that incorrect?

Just answered my own question by Googling it.
I see that it is in Playa Dorada.
Mistook it for that hotel at the location I just described.
BTW: The OP makes a request about staying clear of AI resorts, and Playa Dorada is pretty much wall to wall AI hotels.
Don't you think he would be happier in Sosua or Cabarete?

Geez,
Now I'm even more confused.
I had Googled Puerto Plata Vilage, which is in Playa Dorada.
Not that I Googled Puerto Plata Beach Resort, this is the address I get.
Avenida Circunvalación Norte, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic
That doesn't make sense.
It wouldn't be on the beach at that location.
Charly... Please locate this hotel for us.
