Had a fantastic time. I was there from March 4 to 18, 2008. I spent my first week in a small town and then ended up at the resort from my taxi driver. Everyone was so friendly. From the staff at the front desk (Julio) to the bartenders (Ambiorix). Food was good and rooms were great. Will be going back next year to hook up with all the great people I met. Was sad to have to go back to the rain in Vancouver.

The first day my cousins and my sister where ready to get on the swimming pool, awhile I was looking around, in the night some next guys danced Chocolate it was so funny, then the had some next dance for the little children and my sister didn’t wanted to do it by her self so me(Sheila)and my two cousins(Paola n Emil) got up and did it with all the kids(lots of fun). The second day me and my cousin went to the bar, went to the beach, we played pool in the night and after we went to the night club and we danced like mad lol (I loved it).Then the third day my last day I meted a very friendly barkeeper(Delvis). The last day was the best day even if I didn’t wanted to go..lolz I would never 4get da

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.
