There is a travel agent from the states who advertises best fares on this site. There are a variety of places that you can stay in Puerto Plata ranging from 10 US and up depending on the amenities you are interested in. If you are arriving early in the day and would be in Puerto Plata before 10PM., I suggest you take a taxi to Hotel Castilla, Sam's Bar & Grill which is located in the Center of the City, near the Maleconand Central Park. If you do not like the accommodations they offer, Joanne, the owner is known for making recommendations and/or phone calls for you to find exactly what you may be looking for. Her email is sams.bar@codetel.net.do. Hope this helps a little bit. Jason
