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!!
