Hi everyone,
Looking for some help on a bachelor party that I'm planning for mid-May 2015. About 8-10 guys all in our late 20s and early 30s. Looking to go for 5 nights, with budget of about 600-800 per person for accommodation.
DILEMMA: We can?t decide between Punta Cana and Puerto Plata.
Question 1: During the day we will spend our time relaxing on the beach, enjoying the sun, eating and drinking. Which destination has better beaches? We?re looking to go swimming, relaxing on the beach, diving, etc. we?re not the type to surf or kite surf? Are the beaches in Puerto Plata too windy and with lots of seaweed?
Question 2: Which destination has better excursions? For 2-3 days we will want to do excursions, catamaran tour / zip lining / ATV / etc.
Question 3: During the night we want to go to night clubs and also check out a few gentlemen's clubs. Not looking to hook up. Are the clubs in Punta Cana any good or are they Vegas style and too expensive? Puerto Plata offers us proximity to Cabarete and Sousa, are the clubs there safe, and are they full of too many locals where 8-10 guys who only speak English will be bored? I?ve read there are more crack downs for gentlemen?s clubs, and if so is Punta Cana our only option?
Question 4: If we go with Punta Cana, which 4*+ all inclusive resort would you recommend? If we go with Puerto Plata, is Iberostar Costa Dorada our best bet?
Appreciate any help and advice. Sitting on the fence at the moment and can?t decide.
Thanks,
DBT
