What are you going for, vacation or ???

I'm actually meeting up with some old friends who will be vacationing from Europe. I will meet them part way through their stay and then end the week on my own. I could do a weekend thing but it seems far to go just for a couple days so I want to finish off my week there....just want to be sure it's a safe option...travel there alone, time there alone etc.....

Ok, I have been to Puerto Plata alone before. 1. Dress appropriately, where are you staying? Veer on the conservative. 2. Exercise caution in handling money. 3. Practice your Spanish and be courteous. 4. Street smarts, really can't be taught, but use whatever you have.

So far the only sensible advice I read here. It is safe here, if you use common sense, courtesy and street smarts...

True, have fun and don't fall in love with the resort animation crew member, his Grandma is not sick and does not need money. LOL This is the Sankey answer.

It is safe and you can have a great time. At night go out with others if you can when you go to local spots. Daytime is beach or tour time and you will be fine.
