Ocean World, Puerto Plata.....more than just dolphins!

Advantages: Wonderful Experience - A must visit
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

I had the good fortune to visit Ocean World, located in Puerto Plata 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... Ocean World Having driven through the man-made waterfall we had entered Ocean World Adventure Park. First impressions... were very impressive. Ocean World is home to one of the largest dolphin t man made dolphin habitats and its amazing......

Review of Ocean World, Puerto Plata

Sun, sea, sand oh & the sex on the beach

Advantages: Very clean, excellent service & lovely weather
Disadvantages: Attracts a lot of kids, not excellent evening entertainment

So on the 5th July 08:55am we set off (on time) from Birmingham airport on a Britannia airbus. After a nine-hour flight we arrived into Puerto Plata (POP) airport, which is the capital of the Dominican Republic, and just a 20minute transfer to the Gran Ventana Hotel. The Gran Ventana hotel is situated in the northern region of the Dominican Republic and is well known for it's windy climate. PLAYA DORADA Playa Dorada is the resort the Gran Ventana is situated in.

Review of Gran Ventana Beach Resort, Puerto Plata

Breezes Hotel Puerto Plata

Advantages: Clean, nice food and lots to do
Disadvantages: Not much night life, book early at resturaunts

I stayed at this 3+ star hotel for 2 weeks last March and overall i was pretty impressed. This hotel located at Puerto Plata 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. This hotel ...
