I've been reading recently of people thinking about moving to the DR and choosing Puerto Plata as their destination.
I can't for the life of me, think of one single reason why someone--who presumably consumes oxygen and is from this planet--would choose Puerto Plata over any place on the north coast--including the jail cells in Sosua or Cabarete.
Of all of the crappy towns to live in on the North Coast, Puerto Plata must rank up their as the most pollution filled, venereal disease-over-flowing (i caught crabs there, twice...from walking down the street), shanty-town crusted, rain deluged, crappy filled restaurants place to live anywhere on the North Coast. The food is better in Cabarete's jail cell then anywhere i've eaten in PP. And this is coming from someone who, unfortunately, has to travel there on a weekly basis whenever i'm in the DR because my motorcycle buddies live there out of obligation...not choice, and they insist on launching most of our motorcycle adventurers across the island from their place up on a hill because they claim we drive faster and get better gas mileage if we launch from a hill.
In Puerto Plata, the restaurants are very limited, the cafe/beach seen is non-existent, the Malecon is a glorified Bronx project put on hold, the beaches are filled with crabs, sankies, and CD-selling scammers, and the women...all ugly...every last one of them except for one big-milky-groobies girl: DV8. Unfortunately, she's taken, but she does possess all of her teeth.
driving down the Malecon (Ocean Drive) is a lot like being transported back to 1973 Bronx after a storm, or a Starsky & Hutch scene without Huggy Bear. The condos--if you want to call them that--are depressing, atrocious, and resembles a glorified Havana Bordello, only with less paint and no good looking women.
I just can't rap my head around why anyone--presumably not in a medically-induced coma, on life support, suffering from glaucoma, and semi-conscious--would choose Puerto Plata over say...Las Terrenas, Cabrera, Cabarete, etc.
