Breezes Puerto Plata Beach Resort & Spa Hotel Puerto Plata

The rooms were old run down, musty and dirty, so were the hallways. Air conditioning loud and blowing directly on the bed. 2 single beds. Blood stains on the chair cushion and stained sheets. The taps in the bathroom were broken. The patio doors we left unlocked every day and once the front door was wide open. I did not feel safe here. One day there were no towels in the room and you can get charged for missing towels. We left our beach towel cards on the dresser and they were gone. They tried to charge us for them. The food was not fit to eat. We left and rented an apartment. I do not recommend this place to anyone. The only good thing was the staff.

We paid £1700 to stay here for 2 weeks, the resort is pleasant enough, but there isn't much to do and the food is awful! This is not the place to go if you are particular about food in the slightest! The entertainment in the resort is awful, and the locals stay at the weekends, who basically take over the resort and there were reports of abuse, theft and general disrespect! Leaving the resort is not suggested, unless you want to get hassled to buy tourist tack as soon as you step off the bus! The excursions were great, in particular the dolphin park but very expensive. The on site shop was a complete rip off - $5 for a postcard! WE satisfied our cravings for crisps but at $15 for a tube of pringles we did without for the rest of the hol! Might suit poeple who like to lay by the pool all day and aren't particular about what food they eat - and book your excursions for the weekend so you don't put up with the locals!

Do not go here..... I was sick with acute Gastroenteritis and breathing difficulties along with 60% of the people who stayed at the resort. Awful..... You've been warned!!!! 08/03/2006
