Creator's Key Takeaways

Neither of the cruise terminals in Puerto Plata give you a beach day.

It's a full-fledged all-inclusive resort, mostly visited by the locals. So, it's great because you don't find the cruise crowds here.

There is a beautiful private beach here. And by the beach is an outdoor buffet.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Skip the cruise terminal and get a Marien Resort day pass for a beach day.
Visit on a weekday to find the pools refreshingly open and less crowded.
Enjoy the all-you-can-eat buffet with local Dominican food and American favorites.
