Why Playa Dorada?
Playa Dorada, 10 minutes east of Puerto Plata, has the largest concentration of hotels in the northern region with14 low-rise vacation resorts built in a “U” shape sharing a common beautiful beach and the Playa Dorada Golf Course, an 18 hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones. Meet guests from other hotels during evening outings at the casinos and night spots open to all guests. During the day visit the Playa Dorada Plaza shopping center with stores and a movie theatre. Sidewalks connect all the hotels, and guest enjoy strolling along these or the beach. With all the hotels being so close together, this is a great choice for spring break travel.
What else is nearby
To the east, 15 to 25 minutes away are the beach towns of Sosua and Cabarete, and beyond them Playa Grande and Rio San Juan. The second largest city in the DR, Santiago, is less than an hour away to the south.
Port of Entry/How to get there
From abroad, the best point of entry is the Gregorio Luperon International Airport located west of Puerto Plata. This places you just 15 minutes from Playa Dorada.
Getting around
Within Playa Dorada, bicycle tours are available to visit the other hotels in the complex. Note that bracelets are used to identify the resort where guests stay and that also marks whether they are an all inclusive guest. Some hotels may restrict admission to those with the correct bracelet only. Hotels that are not located on the beach will offer shuttles to the beach and back several times a day. Nevertheless, for the most part, the entire complex is walkable. At night, casinos will provide a free taxi service to the casino but not for the ride back to the hotel. Transportation from the Playa Dorada complex is provided by taxis and some hotels offer a free shuttle bus to town. At the highway entrance to the complex, you can catch a public bus or guagua in either direction, east or west.
The Grand Paradise Playa Dorada has everything you could want in a tropical vacation. The resort lies on a beautiful beach on the Dominican Republic's scenic northern coast.
Just outside the seaside gingerbread town of Puerto Plata, Be Live Grand Marien extends along the beautiful Costa Dorada Beach and provides easy access to/from the international airport of Puerto Plata.
