Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic Port Reviews

I cannot say how much I enjoyed this port. We did an excursion to Fricolandia and it was worth every penny spent.

Amber Cove was very fun, the shows they had with the animals were very cool at Ocean World. I also got to swim with dolphins and that was very fun, they had dolphin shows, sea lion shows, and a shark show. I got to feed birds but a bird pooped on my head so you have to be careful for that

We had a Puerto Plata City Tour excursion that included the rum factory, cigar factory, amber museum, chocolate factory, city square, catholic church, umbrella street, and a fort.

Opted to take the rum, chocolate, cigar, and Amber Museum your. Learned a lot, sampled a lot of rum, and bought some lovely amber jewelry (reasonable prices). The island is 90% vaccinated. However, Covid caused a great deal of poverty, so it is a struggling area. I'd go back.

LOVED IT!!!! We rented the hillside cabana. Had Brian as our host. We zip lined down whenever we went to the pool. This was the absolute perfect day, I just wish it could have been a little longer, 3:30 departure was too soon.

Went on a private tour to Puerto Plata where we did a rum tour, cigar factory, Fortaleza de San Felipe, and shopping.

Went to resort for the day . Beware there’s many many solicitors peddling products and services. Just say No if your not interested

Everything seemed new, no beach without paying to go somewhere but the pool and ziplines were nice. The shops were much cleaner than some other ports. Since there wasn't a beach, we opted for an excursion (Ocean World w/dolphin encounter). Next time we are doing the waterfalls as our kids weren't old enough this time around.

Has a pool free of charge.. They have free seating and paid seating.. Umbrella's, lockers, Zipline and other services available for a few..

Would have given 5 stars but port time was cut short due to engine issue.
