The port area is well put together but what do you expect I guess if you use a carnival or a big name Excursion company it'll probably be better I hired a private taxi so it was $30 a person took us on a tour of the city went by the rum Factory was $4 he was asking about the Chocolate Factory but the problem was he spoke limited English and I spoke a limited Spanish so needless to say he was not a great tour guide, wanted him to take me by the orphanage he acted like he didn't understand what I said so I broke the words down in Spanish and he still didn't get it so I just said forget it as far as shopping other than buying at the rum Factory I didn't spend any money until I got back to the port and I didn't buy much there my son bought some snorkel kit for $20 we would normally Buy in our stores for maybe five or six dollars the little coin purses that I get in the Bahamas for like a dollar they were 5 to $8 so I don't know I guess it's to each his own butt it would be a port that I would skip this whole Carnival Sensation 5-day trip I would skip it unless I was just broke and it planned on doing nothing but staying at the ports

We did the Community Give Back tour and would highly recommend that to others.

The part quite a few on our tour bus was very upset with was a stop at the old fort. The sales people were very, very, very aggressive, rude and made many angry.

The water was dirty but our private cabana was cute and relaxing.

The cruise port, Amber Cove, is lovely. New and spotless ...a Disney sort of "town". We took a "panoramic" side trip into Puerto Plata - a staggering contrast. Educational (!) but would not do it again as a vacation option.
