Amber Cove, Puerto Plata

Amber Cove is one of the Caribbean‘s newest cruise terminals in Puerto Plata Province in the Dominican Republic. This new cruise port has a large shopping village with restaurants and a huge swimming pool with a swim-up bar. You can relax at the port by renting the beautiful, spacious, air-conditioned floating or hillside cabanas, or do some fun activities like water sliding, zip lining, etc.
