Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic Port Reviews

Very beautiful! You will love the pool area! The tour was very informative and takes you to great places for amazing photo opportunities. Would definitely take a trip to Amber Cove to see more!

We had such an amazing tour; included was a tour to the museum, their version of Central Park, real coconut water, shopping, DR lunch; art museum and garden and the best part of course rum factory samples of 8 different types. Thx to Diaz the driver and the tour guide. Bravo!

We wanted to do an ATV excursion but my 8 year old daughter was not old enough with any of the ones directly through Carnival. After researching I found great reviews for Marysol Tours. Francisco answered all of my questions quickly and I booked with them for much less than if I booked with Carnival and my daughter was able to ride with me. There were others in my family that also booked and we had a Great time. I am so glad that I booked. We rode through the streets of Puerto Plata and had stops to regroup right on the beach. We also stopped at a cigar shop and right next to it was a spot where a woman made coffee that you can taste. The ride lasted at least a good 2 hours and it was hot! Definitely do not forget the sunscreen.

Had a great time ATVing in Amber Cove! We booked through an external site so it was quite a bit of a walk from the port, but they were accommodating and waited for us despite our tardiness. We got to see how cigars are made and we were able to sample the different flavours along with delicious coffee and hot cocoa made by locals. We also made a stop where we were given the opportunity to take pictures with animals and purchase hand-crafted souvenirs. It was a great experience and I will definitely recommend it as a way to escape the touristy areas, have fun and get down and dirty (literally). P.S. you can usually buy or receive passport stamps for free at most ports, just look for the information booths!

We booked an all inclusive private beach with lunch excursion. It was about a 40 minute drive to the location in this open air vehicle. The ride was super bumpy, but I didn’t mind it. Plenty of lounge chairs and water activities. You could snorkel, paddle board, etc. Lunch was good. You could also take a picture with a monkey for a small fee.

Go to Ocean World. The shows were awesome. Great value for your money.
