Creator's Key Takeaways

It's one of the newer ports at Puerto Plata, and it feels bright and lively right away.

I think probably my favorite part of Taino Bay is their lazy river. It is completely free.

We felt very, very safe. The taxis, they have a great taxi system. Just fabulous place to go.

It's one of our stops that we wanted to go to, and it took us a couple years to find the right cruise, but now that we've been there actually three times, I'm looking forward to going for a fourth and a fifth.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Explore the free pools and lazy river at Taino Bay.
βœ“Buy a drink or food to get free Wi-Fi access.
βœ“Take a taxi to downtown Puerto Plata for a city experience.
