Hi everyone,

I am coming to DR in early May with my wife and it is our first time.

I would be grateful of any information about what beaches to visit, cheap tours, taxis, best SCUBA diving courses and prices.

Any Info on Puerto Plata Village resort would be great.

Just let me know where to go what to see and where to avoid.

thanks

Your best option is to purchase a current travel guide (lonely planetetc..)

I do not want to sound harsh, but you will be able to find most of your answers by doing a search on this board. This topic has come up many, many times.
It is also hard to recommend things to do unless we know what your likes/dislikes are - ie: do you like horseback riding, climbing waterfalls, cable cars up the mountain, botanical gardens, historical sites, shopping, safari jeep tours, golfing. If you do a search typing in any of these words, you are sure to come up with the info that you want.
There has been some excellent posts on what to see and do around Puerto Plata, it just depends on how much time you will want to spend away from the resort. As for beaches, you will be at Playa Dorada or do you want to sightsee other beaches, or spend full days at them?
I used to work at Puerto Plata Village so I may be able to help you there, what kind of info do you need? Also, there may have been a trip report written about it in the trip report section that may answer some questions.
If after doing some searching, you still have some questions or need more pesonalized information, then come back and ask and we may be able to help you a little more.
Hopefully this helps a bit,
Marlie

I highly recommend Freestyle Catamaran. Not necessarily "cheap", but a great day on the ocean with scuba diving, music, and a few rum cocktails.

Have a great trip!

You can Email me for the address of the taxi operator I have used on my last five trips and will be using again the end of May.
Also, for a afternoon of fun, try the Quad runner tour. You will travel about 20 miles through the cane fields, and small villages, to the beach and then back.
