Nightlife

As a holiday destination, the Dominican Republic is not renowned for its non stop party atmosphere, but Playa Dorada is one of the livelier resorts. A mixture of casinos and bars such as the 'Crazy Moon Disco' provide very good entertainment, with the casinos renowned for their all night Vegas-like action. For a quieter night in there are numerous quality restaurants and relaxed bars dotted around which offer a more family orientated experience.

Landscape

Playa Dorada holidays definitely tick all the boxes expected from Caribbean holidays, none more so than the area's 2km of white sand; it's the sunbathing paradise. Turquoise waters provide a good base for divers and photographers alike, and the land is relatively flat right up to the country's more mountainous region, perfect for leisurely walks or bike rides.

History

The Tainios were the first recorded inhabitants of Hispanolia, the island which the Dominican Republic shares with Haiti, although were forced out by Christopher Columbus's Spanish fleet in 1492, who lost and regained occupation with the French right up until liberation in 1844. Playa Dorada's potential was not realised until the 20th Century however, when developers saw the draw and attractions of glorious sunshine and beautiful beaches, resulting in the all inclusive resorts popular today.

Culture

The locally owned restaurants in Playa Dorada are the best way to experience Dominican cuisine at its finest, with the Spanish-influenced seafood dishes often very high up on the menu. A trip out to the less tourist orientated bars and clubs will reveal one of the country's passions, the 'Merengue' beat (a type of fast paced Jazz), which offers a great insight to the authentic Dominican culture. Indeed, Puerto Plata hosts a Jazz Festival annually, and is only 20 minutes from Playa Dorada, so would be a great day out for the family!
