Playa Dorada
An all-inclusive resort beach east of the city, with long golden sand and an 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones.
Playa Dorada was Puerto Plata's first tourist resort area. More than a dozen all-inclusive hotels line roughly 2 kilometers of golden beach. The sea here is open, so keep an eye on wave conditions when swimming. The resort has an 18-hole golf course and a small shopping plaza, making it a good choice for guests who want to stay at an all-inclusive hotel. Non-guests can also reach the beach through public access points. It is about 5 kilometers from the city center, roughly 10 minutes by taxi.
