Best All Inclusive Resorts In Puerto Plata

By Arline Bradley


Puerto Plata, the administrative center of the Puerto Plata province in the Dominican Republic, is a popular holiday destination. The fact that there are 100,000 hotel rooms there testifies to that. What can you expect from the best all inclusive resorts in Puerto Plata?

The two main holiday spots in the city are Playa Dorada and Costa Dorada. Of the two, Playa Dorada is right on the shoreline, while the other resort is about eight minutes' drive inland. Tourists arrive via Gregorio Luperon International Airport, located on the coast east of the vacation area. The airport is a stone's throw away as the crow flies, within 20 minutes' drive.

The advantage of an all-inclusive plan is that the customer pays a single rate. In return, all three meals a day are included, together with beverages (non-alcoholic and alcoholic). Gratuities are also included. Many holiday spots offer certain sports in the package. A variation on this theme, the all-inclusive destination report, is similar to a cruise ship. Here, entertainment and shopping are offer. Guests find everything they need right on their doorstep.

A destination resort is ideal for families with children. The kids can take part in activities organized by trained resort staff while the parents do their own thing either prowling around town or topping up their suntans on the beach. Seniors and individuals with reduced mobility also appreciate having everything they need in one place. If visitors want to leave the resort, they are obviously free to do so. Puerto Playa is rich with interesting things to do.

The adventurous spirit might want to take the city tour, which includes a cable car ride up the side of a mountain, Isabel de Torres. The mountain stands almost 800 meters and houses a botanical garden at the summit. There is also a replica of the Christ the Redeemer statue that is seen in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. Other landmarks include a rum factory and an amber museum. It is also possible to visit Fort San Felipe, one of the country's oldest standing buildings.

Amber is formed from tree resin that has been subjected to extreme temperatures and pressures. Insects are often trapped in the resin prior to fossilization. Dominican amber is largely transparent and contains significant numbers of fossilized organisms. This has enabled scientists to reconstruct the entire ecosystem of a long-vanished tropical forest. Examples of this semi-precious gem may be viewed at the Dominican Amber Museum.

The rum factory was founded by a man named Andres Brugal Montaner, a man from Spain. The original wooden wagon that was used to ferry sugar juice around is still in service. The challenging terrain around the factory makes automation of this step in the process difficult and impractical. The factory is available for tours.

Puerto Plata is a beautiful place for a vacation. The fully inclusive plan enables the visitor to have a first-class experience without breaking the budget. This is because they pay a flat rate for all food, soft drinks, For those who can tear themselves away from the food, accommodation and entertainment, there are many exciting places to visit around the island. Two of the popular attractions are the Dominican Amber Museum and the Brugal rum factory.
