Day 3
Port of Call Puerto Plata
Arrival 7:00a.m.

Overview
Puerto Plata is for those seeking an attractively-priced rest vacation with the option of lots of places to visit. Playa Dorada has the largest number of hotel rooms in the North sharing a gold sand beach and the Playa Dorada Golf Course, an 18-hole course. Meet guests from other hotels during evening outings at the casinos and night spots which are open to all guests. Choose Cabarete if you love windsurfing. Cabarete is famous for having excellent conditions for the sport. Many feel the attractiveness of Cabarete is in the people, the mingling of tourists who enjoy the intimacy of the smaller noninclusive hotels. It is also perfect for those who just want the leisure of sitting in the shade or taking the sun on the beach and for parents with little children.

Elegant dining, exciting nightlife, and world-class duty-free shopping are abundant in Charlotte Amalie. The city's reputation as the shopping mecca of the Caribbean draws visitors from all over the region and around the world. A mountainous island, St. Thomas offers stunning vistas in almost every direction. While Charlotte Amalie is full of energy, St. Thomas also provides natural wonders such as the indescribably beautiful Magens Bay and stunning views of the Caribbean from 1,500 feet above sea level. Drake's Seat is particularly famous for its vistas. Sports and activities are abundant in St. Thomas. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy the George and Tom Fazio-designed Mahogany Run course.
