Puerto Plata is situated along the northern coast of the Dominican Republic and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, as well as gorgeously green hills to the south. The beaches are spectacular, with golden sands and sapphire waves. One of the exciting things to do here is boarding the only cable car in the Caribbean to visit Pico Isabel de Torres for panoramic views of the coastline, lush botanical gardens, and handmade craft shops. Be wowed by the 27 waterfalls of Damajagua, taking in views of the pools, stone waterslides, and freshwater crabs. Other attractions include Amber Museum, Ocean World Adventure Park, and Casa de la Cultura. For the ultimate holiday, while there are stunning hotels to stay in, a room in an all-inclusive resort will hopefully exceed your expectations. Keep reading for our list of the best all-inclusive resorts in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
Interesting places to visit:
- Fortaleza San Felipe was built in the 16th century by Spanish colonizers to defend the land from the British and Dutch forces, and French pirates. Today, it's a museum showcasing ancient weapons and cannons. It's an important part of Puerto Plata's history.
- Puerto Plata's colourful Umbrella Street is a must-visit spot. Visitors come here both to see the rows of rainbow-coloured umbrellas and to experience the city's energy at spots such as El Rincon Del Café RD, which serves excellent Dominican coffee. It looks like something out of a fantasy novel I'd love!

Pick all-inclusive packages that suit the location
While booking an all-inclusive resort, it’s important to also consider the location when choosing which amenities you’d like.
