When you stay at La Vista in the Dominican Republic, you set the pace of your vacation. If you’re a beach bum, then Playa Cofresí is a short walk from your front door and you can while away your days on its golden sands. However, some folks like to get out and about and explore the new environment all around them. And one great thing about being in a new place is eating new and interesting things. Sound like you? Then you’ll likely find yourself visiting Puerto Plata and we can make some recommendations about eateries you should definitely try.

Half the fun of exploring a new place is seeing new things and the view from Jamvi’s in Puerto Plata is really great. The fare is standard steaks and burgers, but the location right on the beach is what sets it apart. When you’re looking for a place to cool your heels, stop at Jamvi’s and get something to eat or just have a drink.

One great thing about visiting an island is the availability of fresh sea food. At Aquaceros Bar & Grill, you can get fresh lobster and fish alongside some fantastic merengue music and a terrific sea breeze. If you’re not a fish lover, Aquaceros also has burgers and Tex Mex cuisine.

Finally, for some fine dining check out Ristorante-Pizzería Portofino where you can get great Italian food in the heart of the Dominican Republic. This place features an open air dining room and some fantastic pasta.
