A delightful Dominican town, Puerto Plata has streets framed by charming restored houses appointed with brightly colored flowers. The streets are teeming with a variety of specialty shops featuring amber jewelry, pottery, ceramics and wood sculpture. Puerto Plata is a quintessential Dominican experience. You’ll love the sights, sounds and smells of this bustling and attractive city. Consider staying in a roomy vacation rental rather than a confining hotel room. Whether you’re looking for a 3, 4, 5, or 6-bedroom luxury villa on the North Coast or a cozy cottage, we’ll help you find it. We have a long list of possibilities that includes rental homes, beach rentals, villas and cottages.

A fun place for the entire family is Ocean World Adventure Park, Marina and Casino, a zoo, gaming and marine park located 15 minutes west of the city. Here, you can see dolphins, sea lions and sharks in a controlled setting. A don’t miss attraction in downtown is the Amber Museum, which houses a unique collection of Dominican amber, a semi-precious gem formed from the fossilized resin of centuries old trees. Among the more popular attractions are San Felipe Fort, a 16th century fortress built by the Spaniards, Puerto Plata Lighthouse, which has been a mainstay since 1879, the Damajaqua Cascades, a series of 27 waterfalls and the Brugal Rum Factory, where the tour ends with a daiquiri tasting. Friendly fairways await golfers at the Playa Dorada, Playa Grande and Los Mangos golf courses.

Small hotel rooms with little storage space and few amenities aren’t conducive to a great family vacation. With a vacation rental, you get as many bedrooms and bathrooms as you desire, a wealth of amenities to ensure comfort and a fully equipped kitchen. If you want to save money, you can do it with your own kitchen, which allows you to prepare money-saving meals at the fraction of the cost of restaurants. Deals on Puerto Plata vacation rentals
