Puerto Plata: A Family Friendly Destination
Family tourism is one in which accommodation, meals, recreation, and leisure activities are appropriate to meet the needs of families, specifically families with children.
What this means for any tourist destination that claims to be family friendly is that adaptation of its offers to the needs of families (children and adults) is required, providing accessibility of its resources for any family member.
When we plan our vacations as a family, we always try to find a destination with many options, natural resources, culture, fun and a wide variety of activities for all family members, especially for children. In family tourism, these aspects are key. On many occasions, they are the ones who decide the destination, a premise that must always be considered in a destination offering an experience tailored for families.
Puerto Plata is without a doubt a "family friendly" destination. It has a variety of hotels and accommodation centers that include entertainment for everyone, spaces for sports activities with specialized personnel, nightclubs, swimming pools, and even buffets and menus created to meet the needs of children and adolescents. This means that parents will be able to have the much-needed rest and their own activities, while the little ones will have full days of activities with a qualified staff that will guarantee their care and fun.
In its Historic Center, Puerto Plata has a wide variety of cultural options and ideal spaces for outdoor fun, among the main ones we can mention: Casa de la Cultura, Gregorio Luperón Museum, Amber Museum, Chocolate Museum, Fort San Felipe, its Victorian-style houses that reflect the urban physiognomy of the time with its main cobbled streets, the Plaza Independencia with its surroundings (central park) and the amphitheater park (tipping boardwalk).
