Great Ocean View Condo 3A Sosua Playa Alicia

WarrenRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Marleny is a great host. She's very attentive to all your needs. my flight didn't leave until 430pm but the check out time is 11am. i asked if i could extend until 2pm. she checked to see if the room were reserved. it wasn't and she said no problem. the condo is well maintained and in a great location, about 5 minutes walking distance from everything but still quiet. the beach is less than a minute walking distance. i'm definitely staying here again and would recommend it to anyone. also, i met the owner before i was leaving today. he seemed great guy.

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.

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.
