I personally have not stayed here

however I have been there when a friend stayed there. It's the Amber Castle. I believe it cost her $20 US a night. The rooms are nice, and they have a pool as well. The hotel is in a nice neighbourhood, I believe it's close to the Coca Cola Plant. Same side of the street.

It really depends on what your agenda/requirements are when here. To be close to the town centre, ApartHotel Lomar would suit best, to be comfortable & among holidaying guests, perhaps Porto Fino on Hemmanas Mirabel might be better. Puerto Plata Beach Resort on the Malecon is between both, is more an apartment than a room & is therefore a bit more expensive (a whacking US $27.50 per night!!). If you want more details, yell me, here or by PM! - Grahame.

Hi Tired boy--
My friend had a room that overlooked the pool, and when you walked in there was a little kitchenette area, and had a little sitting area with a chair and table, that room lead into the bedroom, that had the balcony overlooking the pool, and off the bedroom there was a full bathroom.
It is the one opposite the Brugal factory.

Most of us who live here, would agree that we wouldn't be caught dead vacationing right in POP.
Why not stay in Sosua, Cabarete or La Samana?

I agree with Rocky, stay in Sosua, much better there, close to the airport, and half the prices of Cabarete. Recomended hotels are: Europa, Don Andres and One Ocean Place.

I have to agree, that Sosua or Cabarete are the perfect places to saty on the North Coast compare to Puerto Plata.

But you have to tell us a bit more what you are enjoying, a great company of people and a quiter beach, like Sosua or party hardy and windsurfing, then you are best of in Cabarete.

Best of luck!

Thank you for your info

Thanks everybody for the quick response...The reason for wanting to stay in Puerto Plata is because I have accumulated a lot of friends in the area and really enjoy the people. I have visited Sosua and I think it's beautiful, but have no friends there yet! :cheeky:

Hotels etc

I stayed at the Castilla del ambar. It is a very nice small aparta hotel. It is in a quiet area right behind the coca cola outlet. The rooms are smallish but fine for one or two people. I don't know the current rates but they offer daily weekly and monthly rates. It is best to book ahead. The kitchen areas have fridge and stove and the basics for cooking. The staff are pretty good and there is security at night. The pool is small, but very clean.

Bushbaby also recommended some good places, it depends what you are looking for. If youwant me to call for rates, just send a PM and I will do so.
