From Taíno Bay to La Lola Beach Club
Taíno Bay is the cruise port in downtown Puerto Plata. La Lola is 3.4 km along the seafront boulevard — about 8 minutes by taxi.
The ride
Leave the terminal, take an official taxi and say "La Lola Beach Club, en el Malecón". The driver follows Avenida General Gregorio Luperón — the Malecón — along the sea the whole way. You'll see the water on your right for most of the ride.
