If you are a first time traveler to the DR or Puerto Plata, although I would stay in those hotels, you would not be comfortable in the Victorina or Mountain View. The other hotels mentioned in that post are all-exclusive's and it appears that is not what you are looking for.

PM me if you want my in site in to where to stay. I might add it serves no purpose for me because my place is full until the first of April 2009.

There is no contest for "The Best" non-AI hotel in Puerto Plata... Casa Colonial. It's pricey but it's in a league of it's own in the area....

Think outside the box as well. No reason to limit yourself to a standard hotel.

If there is a group of you, you might want to look into renting a private villa in one of the gated communities in Sosua / Cabarete. Or look at renting a condo on the beach -- lots of beautiful properties on offer there as well.

I know that the Ocean Point project does short term rentals, as does Ocean Dream -- both of these projects have beautiful condos. Sea Horse Ranch has some amazing villas. Sure, they're expensive, but if you have a couple of families sharing a villa, the price per head becomes competitive. There are many more options available to you, but it will take some digging.
