Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic: Waterfalls, Beaches, and Centuries-Old Historical Sites

Situated on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Plata is best known for its sun-kissed beaches. But the province has several breathtaking geographical features inland as well. Damajagua is a natural water park of sorts—it features 27 waterfalls flowing from limestone formations. Tour guides lead groups through the falls, and you can swim and occasionally slide down the natural water slides.

You can get an aerial view of Puerto Plata and the Caribbean Sea on a teleférico, or cable car. One of them climbs 2,565 feet to the apex of Mount Isabel de Torres, which is crowned with botanical gardens and a replica of Rio de Janeiro’s massive Christ the Redeemer statue. Take a scenic drive to Parque Histórico La Isabela and you’ll find the remains of a church as well as the ruins of a colonial village.

Very comfortable stay - comfy bed, nice staff & water pressure. Buffet is the best option Few key things: - taxis ONLY take cash! - you need cash & should tip - there is no way to add to your room or a card - no atm on site, but 2 options up the road - easier to misplace the hotel towels than you think - 70 proof sunscreen/reapp - still burned - Delta counter opens 12:45, paper boarding pass req

Don’t believe the reviews I’m confused as to the 4+ star reviews for this resort. While it was quaint, it was far from what’s expected from a 4* resort. We arrived early and had to wait in a long line to check in just to be told we had to come back to wait in another long line to get our room. Room was modest, nothing special but nothing amazing. The safe required an actual lock, which if you lost cost $50USD. Shower water was cold on some days. Pool was always full of bird poo. I actually had to get the pool net to scoop out the poo because staff didn’t do it. Beach is nice and long, perfect for walks but we were there at Easter and it was closed for 2 days. No one was allowed to swim due to the Holy Week and fear of drownings. This however was beyond the resort’s control as everywhere along the shore was patrolled. But Because the resort is so small this was an issue. Food was not even close to amazing or that good. Buffet hardly had anything good to eat. We went to the restaurants but you could only reserve on the Sunday and we arrived on Friday morning, which means we couldn’t get the restaurant until Monday. And because we were a large group (20) we could only reserve at the late service at 8:30 even if we tried to break up the group. Italian restaurant wasn’t the best but ocean side was ok. Staff were not the nicest. Unless you’re a regular they don’t care about you. We had reserved for the 8:30 dinner and arrived early and asked if we could sit down at the table that was ready for us. They told us no, we’re expecting a large group. We told them we WERE the large group but they said no, they had to set up the rest of the restaurant only for us to sit down with 2 other tables. Friends booked the VIP and weren’t allowed to take drinks outside the lounge, which means no drinking by the pool. Don’t waste your money. Entertainment was ok, but nothing special. One activity an afternoon. Night entertainment I was expecting to be good but it was more games and magic shows. The best things was the silent disco. So fun! But we didn’t have a beach party. Reviews on kids club was good but our experience wasn’t. The person at the kids club seemed like she didn’t like kids. It’s not a place to drop off your kids. Nothing planned for them to do (except a small activity at Easter ) so none of the kids went. Overall we had fun cuz we were 20 ppl but I wouldn’t go back to this resort and can’t imagine why anyone would. If you travel a lot, go somewhere else. If you don’t travel a lot…go somewhere else.

Anniversary Trip – Amazing Experience! We had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary here! The food was delicious, the entertainment was fun, and the overall vibe was just what we were hoping for. A huge shout out to Delmi ("Shaggy") and Wilmi ("Droopy")—they were truly the heart of the entertainment team. Their energy, humor, and positivity made every activity better. They were hands down our favorite part of the trip! The bar staff was also incredible. Andrea and Ernesto made amazing drinks and by day two, already knew our favorites—they’d have them ready before we even asked. It really added a personal touch. We also met Julio, the entertainment manager (though we didn’t realize he was the manager until the end). He was funny, approachable, and a real pleasure to be around. At the restaurants, Hector and Antonio provided consistently excellent service. The photographer on-site took beautiful photos that came out way better than we expected—we’ll cherish those memories. Also, a sweet hostess at the buffet (wish we caught her name!) greeted us warmly every time. Our only complaint: the bed was quite firm. Other than that, everything was wonderful. This was a memorable anniversary trip, and we’re already talking about when we’ll return. Thank you to the entire staff for making our stay so special!

Fun in the DR I highly recommend purchasing the Royal package!! All of the staff at the resort are super friendly! We were very happy with Santa Sojeidy, Owi Irene, and our favorite bartender Olvi. The food in the DR is somewhat bland but you can get anything you want. The resort is very accomodating!
