Holiday Village Golden Beach Puerto Plata All Inclusive
Information & Amenities
Hotel Information: This North Coast resort offers sun, fun, and rejuvenation.
Amenity highlights: A large activities pool receives sun all day. But in the afternoons, many guests prefer a shady deck surrounding a rock-lined "quiet pool" with swim-up bar. Next to this pool, an eight-person spa offers convivial, cool-water soaking. Many guests also play the adjacent, 18-hole Campo de Golf course. One of its fairways lies between the Holiday Village All-Inclusive's buildings and a long beach. (Golf fees are extra and are not part of the All-Inclusive Plan.)

Graced by tall shade trees and expansive green lawns, this 271-room resort is spread among 73 multicolored one- and two-story cottages on spacious grounds. Holiday Village Golden Beach opened in 1981 as the first of Playa Dorada's hotels and remains stylish and tranquil, with a first-rate casino and an adult disco for after-dark entertainment.
