Best All-Inclusive in Puerta Plata?

vakuform · #1 07-19-2004, 08:31 PM

Greetings DR fans,
I am not one to cower in an all-inclusive - I have traveled all over the DR on 5 trips - Santiago, Sosua, Jarabacoa, Constanza, Cabarete, Rio San Juan, Cabrera, etc.

But, I want to bring my Dominican girl to a nice impressive all-inclusive for her birthday. It's only for a long weekend so I was looking to stay in Puerta Plata. Any recommendations? Jack Tar?

Thanks

IMHO Coral Marien and Iberostar are probably the two best in POP. You will be happy at either. Check out:

I concur with sliverghost (silverghost) with the minor exception that I personally find the Vacation Club people at Marien Coral by Hilton to be offensive while there are none of these at the Iberostar Costa Dorada.

My friend by all means goto the Coral Marien hotel, If you want to save money make the reservation in your girls name and have her check in with her Cedula and you will get in for 1/2 what you would pay normally (Dominican price) 809-320-1515. the staff is great enjoy.

If his "girlfriend" cannot show a credit card and present herself as a person of stature, they might not treat her very nicely. If you know what I mean.

Sorry, but those are facts of life in this country.

YOu will be better off doing the signing in on your own.

HB wishing your stay to be everything you hope it will be.

I'm only replying so I can be subscribed to this thread! Cause I don't know how to do it otherwise!! I also want to know what's the best AI in POP area.

I agree with silverghost as well. However, I like Jack Tar because it is adults only. No kids running around the pool...

I havent been to any other A-I beside the Sun Village in POP, but the reason is because we were wo impressed! Great place, great staff, clean resort. The food is even pretty good!

I think Jack Tar outclass any other AI in Playa Dorada. it is an adults only resort. For some it may be seem like the enviroment around the hotel maybe a little "laid back". It is ideal for couples or people looking for relaxation rather than the standard 24 hour caribbean party atmosphere that most dominican AI resort try to display. You can pick any AI in Playa Dorada but for your satisfaction and comfort be sure not to choose Puerto Plata Village.

Have stayed at the PPVillage on recent working trips to Puerto Plata. Would recommend the hotel for those planning to rent a car and spend lots of time outside the resort touring. The rooms are large and comfortable, lots of parking near your room available. Gives you a sense of privacy and peace and being on your own.
