You are close to Ocean World. If you never had a Sea World like experience or a dolphin encounter, it is worthwhile. You are located 15 minutes from Puerto Plata, worth a trip to wander around a typical Dominican working city. Start in the area of Central Park, then walk up to the ocean front Malecon and head west to the old fort. Your hotel is about an hour from Santiago. Here you will see a major Dominican city with many cultural spots such as Centro Leon. If interested, there is public transportation available or you can get an expensive taxi at the hotel.
We spent a week there in February. No major complaints. Food was OK - we were disappointed to find there wasn't much Dominican food, but I guess that's to be expected because there weren't many Dominicans staying there so they catered to the American/Canadian/European tastes I guess. Our room was spacious, bathroom large, very clean. Got the best Claro USB connection in the country there.
The major annoyance was the people trying to talk us into buying into their 'Vacation Club', they had an answer for everything.
As stated above, it's next door to Ocean World - go!

We stayed there last year for a mini escape during thier stupid price sale (cost us $20 a night for the two of us) and had a very good time. Resort is clean and modern and food was ok as well. VIP beach with the beach beds and beach side food service along with top shelf booze was a big plus.
In fact we are going again this September during thier $38 sale. I mean room (nice) board (pretty good food) and liquor for $38 how can you beat that.
As to tours there is lots to do HOWEVER and a big new HOWEVER you need to use the resorts "tours" as they will not let other tour companies onto the premises.
