Puerto Plata is a glittering name in the Dominican Republic's vacation and all-inclusive resort scene. It is the gateway to Playa Dorada, a huge complex of more than a dozen all-inclusive resorts and a premier jet-set destination in the Caribbean.

Within two hours' drive of Puerto Plata's international airport, you'll find all the best that the DR's north coast has to offer - water sports and beach nightlife in the kitesurfing town of Cabarete, mountain biking in the coastal hills, the celebrated 27 waterfalls of Damajagua, sleepy little Dominican towns, and mile after mile of that famous Caribbean sand.
