Hi,

My Husband and i are traveling to Puerto Plata in March and are staying at the Sun Village Beach Resort. After reading all the negative reviews i am freaking out! Is it really that bad? How is the beach and the water? I know Puerto Plata face's the Atlantic so the water is not as clear but does it really look like the Jersey Shore? I recently read that a couple of people's belongings were stolen, is that a major problem at the resort? Also are the standard rooms as bad as everyone makes them out to be?

Please help i am so worried that this vacation will turn out to be a disaster.

Good Day,

I , too, am travelling to Sun Village this Easter with my husband. I read negative comments here every other day and am getting worried as well about my upcoming stay. I am sure the resort itself will be beautiful from pics and am not worried about food or accomodations, but the security issue is troublesome. What does one reccommend to safeguard belongings if the safety boxes are not secure and maids are beating locks off of suitcases? People's rooms are accessed with additional keys and money/credit cards are stolen. My goodness, I hope I won't regret this trip...any advice would be helpful...thanks.

I am equally as nervous for my trip as well. I have heard from other recent travellers that theft/bugs or sickness was not a problem. Since my trip is paid for I am hoping for the best...Please send you review once you visit....What airport are you flying into?
