Emotions by Hodelpa Puerto Plata - All Inclusive
The rooms were great. Lots of beach chairs. Christmas dinner was great. Foam pool party. 7 waterfalls trip. Coffee shop was great. If they could fix the mini putting and have putters instead of irons to putt with that would be great. Mexican restaurant was great
