Leave your suit, tie, and cares
behind as you fly into this Perennial Vacation Club tropical Caribbean
retreat. White sand beneath your feet, beautiful palms overhead,
and crystalline seas as far as the eye can see. Catch up on your
golf game, volley with your partner on the court, or simply sit,
sip, and enjoy.
Activities:
A moderate year-round climate lends itself to a variety of
quality golfing and tennis facilities. Vacationers from the
north will welcome the island's warm waters perfect for snorkeling,
scuba diving, windsurfing, or fishing for marlin, sailfish,
and dorado. Equipment and instruction are readily available.
Dining:
The Playa Dorada Complex and Puerto Plata yield plenty
of great places to eat at very reasonable prices. Fresh
seafood and Latin American dishes are bountiful. There
are three restaurants on site
to serve your needs morning until evening. Rum production
has been a part of Dominican history for centuries. Find
out why by sampling the local specialty drinks.
Sightseeing:
Christopher Columbus established "La Isabella" here,
the first European settlement of the New World in 1492. Rich
in historic culture, the area offers much to see and learn.
Shopping:
Native craftsmen turn the natural charm of black coral,
amber, and the island's own larimar (similar to turquoise)
into delightful jewelry and gifts. Local shops are also
known for their wood carvings, baskets, limestone carvings,
and ceramic dolls.
