Resort Details
The Senator Puerto Plata Spa Resort gives guests the ideal launch pad for their next unforgettable Dominican Republic adventure. This classic mid-level, all-inclusive complex hides in the warm-climate wonderland known as Puerto Plata, right on the island nation’s northern coast, and has its own large beach and central swimming pool (complete with a popular swim-up bar). There are also two buffet-style restaurants offering wide-ranging international dining options, with à la carte dining also available upon request for whenever you have something special in mind.
Meanwhile, younger travelers—and older travelers looking for some alone time—will love the kids club on premises, where they can socialize with other guests their age while engaging in a full itinerary of fun-filled activities. The rooms here are comfortable and come with either balconies or terraces for basking in the ocean breeze. Plus, larger suites are available for families or large groups.
Nearby Attractions
When you stay near Puerto Plata, situated on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic, adventure is always right at your fingertips. With streets lined with vibrantly-colored historic homes, the city’s Old Town is a must for fans of architecture. And you’ll definitely want to stroll along the Malecon, a brick-lined walking path that lines the stunning Caribbean coast. One of the most popular attractions in the area, the Playa Dorada Resort Complex, allows for all tastes with both a bustling shopping center and a world-class golf course.
Day excursion options are plentiful as well. Parque Nacional La Isabela has sports walking paths and spectacular ocean views—plus it’s where Christopher Columbus established the first town. Damajagua Waterfalls, too, is worth a visit for anyone looking to swim, hike or simply gawk at the 27 dramatic waterfalls.
