:ermm:Hi Everyone,
I have been reading & reading here & all over the internet about Puerto Plata & the Dominican Republic in general. I thought it was going to be a great family vacation spot just like other islands we have visited like Grand Cayman & Aruba. I'm starting to wonder if I made a mistake getting tickets. Can someone please help me out here? Is it a safe place to go to? What do you think is the best resort, with the best food & it doesn't have to be All inclusive as we like to go to restaurants, although I'm thinking maybe we can't leave the resort at night? I'm traveling with my husband, one pre-teen & two teens. We like white sandy beaches, with blue water & I'm reading that I can only find that in other areas, not in Puerto Plata, which I don't get. We're not that hard to please, I swear! I just want to be sure my children will be safe, nobody will get sick from eating food or water & I'm not going to find bugs/roaches in my room. I don't think that's too much to ask for, right? It seems most people only post things when they want to complain instead of posting the 'good'. (not on this forum)
Thank you in advance!!
