Breezes Puerto Plata

eralc777 · #1 12-25-2006, 04:40 PM

Hi,
Ive just got back from another 2 weeks in Breezes Puerto Plata, which makes a total of 5 weeks there in the past 4 months. I also stayed there twice last year. I love this resort so much, mainly because of the pool and the staff. I have lots of good friends there who always make the stay so memerable.

This wasnt a holiday however, I think we managed a whole 3 half days of sunbathing. We spent our time driving from Sosua to Puerto Plata and back again, so the whole time there felt like a road trip.

I had an apartment in Puerto Plata which was really nice and very reasonably priced. We also got a good deal on a red jeep, which was organised by my super boyfriend.

We experienced lots of new things this time too, such as dancing salsa in La Canita with my boyfriend amongst all the locals. This is something we never had the courage to do last time. We also learned so much more spanish this time, mostly swear words but you have to learn somewhere. We went to a Dominican Christmas staff party which was also great fun. I went dancing in the rain at 2am in the street with local Dominicans after drinking with them. It was lots of fun, but I am now left with a cold!!

I am planning one more trip in March/April before I move there next August. If anyone can suggest anything else to experience before moving there, it would be great.

Thank you for letting me share a brief review of my trip as it was fantastic and would go back there in a heartbeat...if it wasnt for the money!!

If you haven't got the money to visit before March, how can you expect to live there full time. It is not an easy thing to do unless you have a good income. A decent paying job in the Dr is next to impossible to get. It sounds to me like all you have done there is drink and party. That is not real life. The boyfriend will quickly tire of you if you can't afford to live there. Be aware that he will most likely not be paying your rent. I suggest that you use your next trip to try and find a job. That would be a reality check.

so you stayed at Breezes and had an apartment ? i'm confused...

eralc777 · #5 12-26-2006, 09:09 AM

I could afford to go there again before March but I don't have any time off work until then. I am a teacher here, so I obviously have to go during school holidays.

While I was there I have secured a good paying job at a private school in Sosua which pays for half of my apartment.

Yep, I had an apartment as well as we found a really cheap package deal to go to Breezes, which was cheaper to have flight and 2 weeks all inclusive than to just get a flight. So we had free food and drinks whenever we wanted, I was with my boyfriend at work during the day and then we had an apartment in Puerto Plata for the rest of the time.

Yes, we drank a bit and we made sure we went out and had fun, but we still did normal things too. We stayed in on a few nights and I cooked dinner and we curled up on the couch watching TV for the evening.

oh boy..so your boyfriend worked at the resort during the day (where you had a room) and in the evening you both went to your apartment. is this not sankie forum material ?

i'm trying to be good today...

eralc777 · #7 12-26-2006, 11:36 AM

No, because he isnt a sankie. I went to spent time with him and since he cant stay in the hotel, I got an apartment which he paid some money towards. Plus, I have family in Puerto Plata so I was closer to them too.

Intense psychoanalysis. Concentrate on answering the question: "Why am I so self-destructive?".

Im going to say it, even though I know exactly how people will react...he works in animation. I dont really think it matters what he works as.
