I absolutely loved staying at Puerto Plata Village, it was a great experience for my whole family. Whether I was splashing in the waves or sipping non-alcoholic pina coladas (yeah not allowed to drink real ones yet), I was having the time of my life. The facilities were great, the service was sensational, I loved swimming in the pool and getting my hair beaded, and the food was outstanding. The meal was a different theme every night, you could eat downstairsin the buffet, or if you prefered something a bit more formal you could change out of your swimsuit and eat upstairs in the resturaunt. I enjoyed the shows that were put on every night, there was dancing, and singing, and even more. On the beach the little shops where I bargained for prices had many things that were great for souvenirs and gifts for people back home. I absolutely reccoment that you book a reservation here... it could change your life.

I stayed with my wife at the PPV and here is a sum of our experience:
a) The resort is 17 years old, and looks that maintenance hes been less than average.
b) The Resort is however, well kept and cleanliness is quite good.
c) The staff is great very friendly and the activities team is busy all day ( and night )long to entertain guests.
d) Food was very good, one buffet and three "themed" restaurants where you had to book in advance - All of the quite resonable altough i liked the mexican the best.
e) Overall a fine stay at PPV - altough i recommend a "half full glass" approach to the place. P.S. I don´t know why they attach tha Spa name on Tripadvisor, the hotel real name is short of that.

Stayed feb 15 until 22nd. We arrived their at around 5 . Check in was quick. A bartender was ready on hand with an international bar. We received help to our rooms. We were 4 people and had 2 rooms so we requested that we be in the same villa. To bad they put us all the way at the end of the resort. Walk into the room, room smelt horribly..i guess you get used to it by the 3rd day. Rooms needed a lot of work done, but i mean...we really only used our room to sleep and shower so cant complain. The bathroom was clean, came with 2 water bottles ( save those water bottles so you can refill them at the bars).
We had read previous reviews that its a 20 minute beach walk.not true. even tho the shuttle comes often we would walk it ( take 5 minutes). No need to bring your own towel, they replace them as often as you want. The beach was beautiful, the entertainers are there during the day . The grill at the beach is not great. The bar tender at the beach is also pretty rude. I have to say tho, all in all the beach part of the hotel is beautiful,water clear, no seaweed.
The entertainment group is the only reason why i would come back. These guys work from 10 in the morning till 11 at night and are always full of energy. We feel in love with Popeye. He was the best. DYLAN was also the best.
Dario at the pool bar! best bartender, nicest one there. The one near the pool tables..there all pretty rude.
The bartender at the reception is very nice i forget his name.but the nicest bartender in the whole joint.
The club ambroise is pretty boring. everyone goes to mangu right across the street.
The buffet food isn't the best, but you can manage. Make sure you wake up at 7 30 to book for the a la carte resto. The chinese was horrible..but i have to say the Italian restaurant was very good.
Even tho the pool was being cleaned often, it was always filled with little bugs..not the best thing.so we didnt swim in the pool often,
This place is fun if your a big gang of people going on a budget, but other than that never again.
