Stayed at Iberostar in Puerto Plata May 2017 Beautiful resort with great food and drinks! Took a tour of Puerto Plata, Brugal Rum Factory, and went to Mount Isabel de Torres via Gondola.
Das Hotel war wirklich super :) Wir könen es nur empfehlen. Das Personal war sehr nett, alles war sauber und das Aktivitätenprogramm war einfach nur toll. Viele Aktivitäten für Erwachsene und Kinder! danke andres
Great video! Puerto Plata is one of the most beautiful cities in the Dominican Republic! I can not wait to be there again(I was also in the Iberostar Hotel). Greetings from Switzerland P.S. I also just uploaded a video of my trip. :)
Wow, you guys sure looked like you had a blast! Seems like you went off the beaten path a bit too. BTW, I saw a "review" video made by a vacationer to another similarly rated resort (she went in 2016) and in it she had two main gripes: 1. "Locals" pretty much taking over the resort on weekends 2. Significant harassment by beach vendors ... according to her 5 minutes wouldn't go by without someone accosting her and family with something for sale? 3. Some harassment by time share vendors as well? Have you guys experienced this at this resort?
Ok cool, thanks for the response ... better late than never. :) We don't leave til July so Im trying to learn as much as I can so we can have as smooth an experience as possible. Hey just had a thought. How's the bug situation there at the resort? Mosquitoes? Can't stand sleeping at night with mossies buzzing around! Im originally from South America and if we didn't sleep with nets those suckers would carry you off! lol!
C Moses Hey how was your trip there last year? Did you go? We just got back and we got significant harassment from the beach vendors, asking us every time we go on the beach if we want to buy something, even if we said no to them yesterday. Also the time share vendors got irritating too! A lot of the resort workers were really nice and great though!! I got a long awesome with them. Also there were barely any mosquitos.
They're poor people so this is how they earn a living. So I'm sorry if you feel harassed but these people are starving. Jesus. You can say no, but the way you complain about them is stupid. In all tourist spots you will get hustlers, Atleast these people are selling something.

I want to rent a car, explore the island during the day and have dinner at night in restaurants with locals. is that safe?
yes, I would say so
friends of ours went after us and they rented a car and ate at a local place on the beach
Great video Trish! Looks totally unrecognizable, since we were there last. Musica was good too!!

From Toronto. BTW, since you've just been there ... is the safe big enough to hold a 15" laptop? :)
