Which is the Better Holiday?
If your priority is fantastic beaches, all-inclusive hotels and epic nightlife then Punta Cana is probably the better choice...
But if you want an authentic Dominican Republic experience, in a beautiful beach city with a local vibe, then Puerto Plata is perfect...
Incredible BEACHES
Both Punta Cana and Puerto Plata have excellent beaches to choose from. But Punta Cana's beaches are arguably more beautiful, and the sea is calmer.
EPIC Activities
You'll find great activities in both destinations, but Puerto Plata is a hub for watersports, as well as great hiking and jungle-trekking.
Excellent beaches, incredible resorts, and very tourist-friendly destination.
More 'local' experience, great for adventure and activities away from the coast, and cheaper than Punta Cana too.
