Hi, I couldn't believe the great deal we're getting at the Coral Marien AI, so my family of 4 will be in Puerto Plata last week in August. I would appreciate any answers to the following ?
1. Is the taxi about $30 from airport to hotel ?
2. Should I book transfers beforehand or just get a taxi when we land ?
3. What tours would be suitable for an 8 and 13 year old ?
4. I've read about the 28 level waterfalls but would my children be able to do any part of this ? And for that matter, since I'm not a strong swimmer what there to do for me ?
5. Where can I get tours at a lower price ? They all seem rather expensive for 1/2 or full day tours.
6. How is the beach at this hotel? Should my son bring his boogie board ?
7. We've done a couple of time share presentations, the last one last month in Puerto Vallarta and actually go $250. cash. Are any time share presentations here worth my time ?
8. Should I bring umbrellas ? What could we do in the rain ? Any close shopping areas ?
9. I've read to bring the kids candy and school supplies. Any type of candy that you would recomend ? Should I bring any gently used clothing and if so, whom would I give it to ?
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
