Getting The Most From The Best All Inclusive Resorts In Puerto Plata

By Arline Bradley


The Dominican Republic is one of two countries that share the island of Hispaniola. The other country that shares the island is Haiti. The city of Puerto Plata is one of the most vibrant vacation spots on the island. You will find some of the best all inclusive resorts in Puerto Plata.

The two biggest resort towns are Costa Dorada and Playa Dorada. Playa Dorada is situated right on the beach, while Costa Dorada is a few minutes' drive inland. Both are handy for the local International Airport, which is a hop and a jump from the vacation district.

All inclusive plans include at least three meals per day, all soft drinks and maybe some alcoholic drinks. The plan also includes gratuities. Many of these hideouts are located near the sea and may also include non-motorized water sports as well as other sports and other services. An all-inclusive destination resort provides shopping and entertainment. It's a complete home away from home; once the guests settle in, there is no need to go anywhere else.

These types of plans are perfect for couples that have children. The kids get involved with organized play activities while Mom and Dad top up their suntans or enjoy a bit of shopping. It's the perfect, one-size-fits-all arrangement for people who want to stay in one place. For those who are feeling more adventurous, there is plenty to see and do on this side of the island.

If you feel like getting out and stretching your legs, there is a Puerto Plata City Tour that includes a thrilling cable car ride to Isabel de Torres Mountain. Among the landmarks on the tour are the Dominican Amber Museum and the Brugal Rum Center. There is also an opportunity to view San Felipe Fort, one of Puerta Plata's oldest buildings.

Amber is a type of fossil in which resin from certain trees is exposed to extremes in temperature and/or pressure. Encased within the fossilized resin are often insects and other wildlife. The amber that is found in the Dominican Republic is rich in these organisms. As a result, scientists have been able to map out the ecosystem of the ancient tropical forest. The Dominican Amber Museum houses specimens of amber, a semi-precious gem.

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.

One of the advantages of an all inclusive plan is it makes for ease of budgeting. By playing one price for all meals, beverages, gratuities and other amenities, all the traveler has to plan for is extra shopping, tours and activities. There is a lot more to the island of Hispaniola than rooms and restaurants. There are tours, cable car rides, museums, forts and a rum factory to visit.
