What's covered under Puerto Plata

Puerto Plata is the north coast's main city and cruise port, and this rate covers the whole urban area: the Malecón waterfront, the historic centre, the Teleférico cable car up Pico Isabel de Torres, Costa Dorada, and the Amber Cove and Taíno Bay cruise terminals where we regularly run pre- and post-cruise transfers. The gated Playa Dorada resort complex next door — Casa Colonial Beach & Spa, Viva Heavens by Wyndham and the other Playa Dorada hotels — shares this drive time but has its own page and its own gate procedure, since it is a single security-controlled complex; use the Playa Dorada page if that is your resort. City hotels covered here include Marien Puerto Plata, Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort, Cofresí Palm Beach & Spa and Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata.

Considering the intercity bus? Plan the Santiago station connection and the final ride to your hotel.
