In Puerto Plata I always use Taxi "VIP". Very reliable, never had a discussion about the price. Playa Dorada to Puerto Plata or back is 300 Pesos I think, maybe you have to walk a bit away from your hotel because the taxi drivers there might get angry seeing a much cheaper taxi. Within the town...

I have been to Dr. Aoun in the "centro medico" and he did a good job. I also have Humano.

When you come back from visiting the US within the 30 days of the tourist visa you can open a bank account here. I did it this way with banco leon without any problems.

Yes, the bed was shaking a bit. But I thought it is the rest of the alcohol in my head. But then I read the news...
