Advantages: Wonderful Experience - A must visit Disadvantages: Absolutely none
I had the good fortune to visit Ocean World, located in PuertoPlata on the lovely island of Domincan Republic last year.
It was my birthday while we were away, so my fiance and I decided to book the day trip with our travel rep, the idea being that on my birthday I would be swimming with dolphins! I was so excited as this is something that I had always wanted to do, but never got the opportunity until now...

I stayed at this 3+ star hotel for 2 weeks last March and overall i was pretty impressed.
This hotel located at PuertoPlata was beautifully decorated and very clean and well kept, it seemed more like a 4 star hotel that a 3 star. We paid a little under £2,000 for two weeks all inclusive and this was for a double room with sea views.
The hotel is right on the beach so the views were absolutely amazing..
We found most of the staff friendly and we got checked in within 15 minutes.
On arrival our bags were collected and taken straight away so we could go straight to the reception to check in.
This hotel is ideal for keen golfers and watersports fans as the hotel is right on the beach and has a large golf course to the side of the hotel.
We were amazed at how nice and 'grand' the hotel looked when we got there.

at that. Bahia Principe is actually just before the town anyway so chances are you'll not even see the town itself unless you go out on any excursions or go off wandering on your own.
The resort itself is situated out and out of all other resorts (which appeared to be the norm for all resorts on the North of the island from what I saw on the excursions we went on).
You'll be flying into PuertoPlata more than likely which is the main city on the island (albeit not the capital). The resort is about an hour and 15 minute bus drive from the airport in PuertoPlata. The staff at the airport and on the bus depots are all friendly and helpful though so no worries on that one.
Now the first thing I was pleased with was the fact that our coach to the resort was lovely and cool. I have heard someone who visited the island a few years back ...
