I've been searching extensively for a place to stay in downtown Puerto Plata short-term (a few days) this winter.
Everyone seems to recommend Playa Dorada. However the hotels located actually downtown are scorned as 1) seedy, 2) run-down, or 3) of ill-repute.
Is this true? I like to walk and would like to be downtown. We are Spanish speaking and so language is not an issue. In fact, I would prefer a Dominican owned and Dominican-run hotel.
If you have one to recommend, which is pleasant, not used for illicit liaisons, reasonably priced and within walking distance of public transportation, I'd love to hear about it. Also, please include a website or email and current phone number. Most of the places I've researched downtown do not seem to have updated info on the web.
Thank you!
