Hi, so I have a question. A few friends and I are going to Puerto Plata for spring break in the Riu Hotel. Is there good night life nearby? Clubs? Discos to dance reggaeton? suggestions

Thanks soo much

Puerto Plata - go to Playa Dorada...there are several clubs, including a new one called Coco Bongo..the others are Mangu, Roadway, and Hemmingways. There are dozens of "local clubs" in POP as well.

Sosua - on the main street, Pedro Clisante, there are many bars and 3 big discos...many working girls, if that's what you're looking for

Cabarete - several bars and 2 discos right on the beach, all next to each other...younger sports-minded party crowd...sort of feels like a smaller Ibiza, or a little bit like South Beach...

All these require a cab or car, Playa Dorada - 10 mins, Sosua about 30 mins, Cabarete about 40 mins away.

This is true..I assumed it was known there are working girls everywhere...but Sosua has, by far, the most per capita ;)

Another club worth checking out is the Lighthouse Disco at Ocean World Casino and Marina....very nicely done and usually a more "upscale" crowd than the other places mentioned (I don't know Pasha though). It's also pretty close to Riu, but it's also fairly isolated.

I am going to assume;)that you have done your homework on the DR, and are going to be wise and (fairly) sober if you plan on going disco-hopping!

I highlighted some key points in your OP, as spring break to me means you are a group of fairly young men and the second clue was reggaeton! LOL

There is quite a distance between Sosua and the Rui hotels, and if you are planning on making the trip, especially late at night, be careful. Keep your wits about you, don't act all drunk and disorderly as you will be easy pickins!

Isn't there a pub tour that these guys could try out first to see what is what, and then go from there?

Or am I just being too motherly??:cheeky:

You are too far away from the spring break parties/action. You need to be in playa dorada or Sosua or Cabarette.

The RIU in POP is a good distance from the nightlife of POP. Better to stay in Playa Dorada or Sosua. Getting back to your resort at the end of the evening might be a problem.

I assume that the poster has already made their reservations. the RIU has a dance club, smallish and limited to those in the 3 RIU hotels.

For this type of music you can go to Playa Dorada clubs. All 5 clubs play this kind of music. Don't go until at least 11 pm as the clubs will be empty. You received good advice - stay fairly sober and keep your wits about you. ALL clubs have "girls for hire" Be careful. And understand you cannot take them back to your hotel.

Taxis are available at the RIU and at Playa Dorada to get back home. You will have no problem getting around.

If you want local music, just ask and I will post a round up of local clubs in Puerto Plata area.

Where are the local Hotels that are close to the local Bars and night life in Puerto Plata city. Looking for a room with AC, Safe in room, and a guard watching the place. Looking to be able to walk to everything.

Try the Mountainview just up the hill from Caribe Tours. It used to be a hopping chica bar, but has now been renovated and is more suited to everyone. Safe in room, ac, security and central in town. I think its around 60US a night now.

Going through the threads I have read that things slow down after midnight during the week. Now I have learned that it is actually government law for Clubs and bars to close at 12am during the week and at 2am on Fri & Sat. Is that true in the entire Country? If so what are the other options for people who are trying to stay awake for their entire trip (literally)...
again I have read around but the answers appear to be all over the place..From pushed back to 1am (which doesn't help)..too not being true at all...Does anyone no the real deal??Thanks
In Sosua, it would go like this.
As you appear to be a night owl, let's start your schedule in the evening.

7 PM: Go out for dinner, have a few drinks, meet a young lady, and back in your hotel by 9:30 PM.

9:30 PM: Show your lady a bit of horizontal lovin', and finish up by 10:30 pm.

10:30 pm: Grab a shower and get out to the discos by 11 PM, do a little dancing, lot of drinking, then drag your drunken butt out at closing time and go to the Playa Chiquita Casino for more of the same 'till 4 AM, grab your future ex-wife, pop a Viagra, and head on back to the hotel.

4:30 AM: Get to hotel, take it slow, take advantage of that little blue pill and see if you can last 2 hours.

6:30 AM: Quick shower, peck on the cheek and say your goodbyes, and "Yes, I'll call you tomorrow", dive into bed for a 1 hour power nap.

8 AM: Get back up, throw some water in your face, go out for breakie.

8:30 AM: Order breakie, send an email home to your buddies to make them jealous, eat breakie, take a stroll around town, drop into the beach, have a swim, lounge around in a beach chair for awhile, doze off for a few minutes, get up and head back to your hotel for another quick shower.

12 PM: Stroll around town and find a place for lunch, socialize a bit then meet female goddess, take her back to hotel room for quickie, finish up by 3 PM, another quick shower, goodbye kisses, "will call you later and all finished up by 3:30 PM.

Dive into bed for a siesta, get back up by 6:30 PM, toss a bit of water in your face, go out and find a place for dinner by 7 PM.
7 PM: Repeat actions mentioned above.

Stay away from them - or find yourself in a whole lot of trouble or even jail.
