The Airbnb was in a great location. The owner communicated well and supported all my needs. The best part was the convenience of the nearby restaurant, pools, and 24-hour security. I highly recommend it—10/10.

Victorian Luxury Condominium

DirkRating, 5 stars9 months ago
Faby and Jeff have a wonderful apartment on the top floor of the blue houses in the Victorian complex. The complex is clean, has a pool, a jacuzzi (no idea whether hot or cold) and is maintained almost daily. All the staff are helpful and friendly at all times. The apartment has everything you need to spend a few weeks here. We only used the coffee machine and toaster at breakfast. Since we had a rental car, it was easy for us to drive to Cabarete or Sosua or Puerto Plata for lunch/dinner. We really enjoyed the apartment.

Luxury 3BD/2BTH Apt with Pool & Beach Access

MichalRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The place was well-equipped, cozy, and perfect for a stay with a small child. We were excited when we arrived and almost extended our stay. The apartment was perfectly prepared, thought out, and beautifully decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable, which we appreciated after a long day. Unfortunately we could hear heavy rumbling and bass every night from several directions, probably from cars parking by the beach. It was disruptive and difficult to sleep on. We were disappointed with the beach, where we could walk – it was soiled and not suitable for small children. Walking barefoot was not safe due to trash in sand. Overall, I would recommend the place for beautiful amenities and comfort, but if you're looking for peace and clean surroundings, it's a good idea to count on these factors.

Villa Nayra

JamaalRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Words can’t explain how happy, satisfied and over joyed I am about my 3 day stay at Omar’s home. The home was beautiful from the inside to the outside. All the fans and ac units kept the home cool at all times. My favorite part of the home was the outdoor patio area. It overlooks the pool and has a huge television for entertainment. I would recommend this villa to anyone. And I’ll be returning sooner than later. Thanks Wallis

Bright & Stylish Fun on the Beach! No Added Fees

NicoleRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The hot tub and pool table were great! The manager is very responsive and quick to help. This is a secure location inside a gated community and beside another security gate. Never felt unsafe. We rented a car and enjoyed Sosua beach, our favorite. We also did the waterfall tour which was awesome and they picked us up right at our Airbnb. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, but has no basics like salt and pepper so be sure to bring your own! Overall this was great value for our money, bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs were large. Lots of space for everyone.

Your guide to Puerto Plata

All About Puerto Plata

The city of Puerto Plata is one of the most popular destinations in the Dominican Republic, thanks to its pristine golden beaches and location at the base of the towering mountain of Isabel de Torres. Dramatic, sprawling landscapes with rolling hills, meandering rivers, lush valleys, and fertile farmlands surround this historical city on the Dominican Republic’s northern Amber Coast. You can take in the local scenery while experiencing a range of outdoor activities, including kite surfing, kayaking, ziplining, golfing, and diving.

Beyond its natural beauty, the city is the region’s provincial capital and the area’s cultural center. Because of this, there are many opportunities to explore local cultural and historical offerings like the Amber Museum or the historic 16th-century Spanish fortress of Fortaleza San Felipe — or you can tour the island’s famous rum distilleries and cigar factories.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Puerto Plata

The northern coast of the Dominican Republic experiences warm to hot temperatures throughout the entire year. The area’s heavy seasonal rainfall ensures the need for good planning when searching for villas in Puerto Plata. The summer months (June through September) provide the warmest temperatures; if you plan on participating in any of a range of outdoor experiences, consider visiting during this time, as there is less chance of rain interrupting the fun. However, the rest of the year hosts an array of festivals, events, and cultural activities. During February and March, you can participate in the Caribbean's famous Carnival, where colorful parade floats, dance troupes, costumed dancers, and musicians celebrate local life and culture. During November, renowned musicians from across the globe gather for the Dominican Republic Jazz Festival, a series of free concerts held just outside of Puerto Plata township.


Top things to do in Puerto Plata

Pico Isabel de Torres

Hike to the summit of this 2,600-foot mountain for awe-inspiring views of the Caribbean waters and beaches below. Once you arrive at the peak, you can explore botanical gardens with local plant life and cave systems. Take a hiking trail up the mountain, or ride the cable car to the top for some of the most breathtaking views in the country.

Museo Del Ambar

The Amber Museum in the heart of Puerto Plata is home to an impressive display of relics that are 15 to 20 million years old. Pay a visit to appreciate the collection of fossilized flowers, insects, lizards, and other flora and fauna preserved in amber and frozen in time.

Zipline & Eco Experiences

You’ll find a vast selection of eco experiences on offer throughout the lush jungles surrounding Puerto Plata. Many of these include trips through the jungle canopy via suspension bridge and zipline. They all provide opportunities to take in the area’s native wildlife in their natural habitat without affecting or disturbing the ecosystem.
