Answer 1

Wow Puerto Plata is one of the best places in DR is wonderful, everytime i can i go there to relax me a Little and do something new,(there's always something new to do there), but i don't do frequently by the college =( but you're right it's amazing!! i've been in the cable car is the only one in DR and Ocean World is the biggest aqua park  in the Caribbean, when i went i was with my friends and got a great time there. It's nice that you enjoy so much our country! Come back soon. Ciao!! =)

Answer 2

I have been there, although I stayed about twenty minutes away in the city Sosua at the resort Sosua by the Sea, which I loved. It is very quiet and personal. I was there volunteering though, so spent more time in the villages rather than doing the touristy stuff.

Answer 3

The Cable car is great if it is running.  The city of Puerto Plata is a dump though with non-stop motorbikes.  Ocean world is nice but pricey at about $100/day.  I like the country tours you can get in Sosua and Caberete.

I hate the AIs myself.  I like to meet the locals and look for good restaurants.

Answer 4

yes, many people have been there--in fact, it's a real tourist place.
